Steve's pov

As the girls leave the stage Tony stands up straight and holds his arms out again. With a big smile he turns to the crowd and shouts. "It's good to be back. You miss me?"

Like before the crowd goes crazy and I hear some guy in the crowd shout. "Blow something up!"

His statement makes my shoulders tensen, but I then hear Tony laugh. 'How can he be amused by this?'

"Blow something up? I already did that."

I can't help, but frown at his recklessness. I start to realize that I'm not really fond of this man not only because of his reckless behavior, but his over confident bordering cocky attitude. His behavior and attitude remind me of some of the men I met in the 40s. Back then before the serum I was just a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who had a way too strong sense for justice. Everyday Id be taunted by them. The type of guys like him. The ones dripping in cockiness. All high and mighty on their pedistool as if they're untouchable.

Everyday they'd look down on everyone else making people feel like crap.

I remember one day walking down an ally when I saw those guys trying to steal money from a kid on crutches. It got me, so angry I yelled at them to stop. Which made them turn long enough for the kid to get away. Even though in the end I ended up getting beat up. Until Buckey found me. He was, so upset when he saw I was hurt. I hadn't noticed I zoned out until I hear him loudly say "And from the ashes of captivity never has a greater Phoenix metaphor ever been personified in human history."

The word captivity catches my attention. As he speaks about the peace he made and the future to come I look to Natasha questioningly. She seems to know what I'm wondering, but she only shakes her head and says. "Sorry Steve, but this isn't my story to tell."

As Tony finishes his speech I decide to tune back in. "Therefore what I am saying if I am saying anything is welcome back to the Stark expo!"

As the crowd goes crazy the lights start to dim. Then with ease Tony some how manages to quiet the over excited crowd. "Now making a special guess appearance from the great beyond to tell you what it's all about please welcome my father Howard."

As soon as he says those last three words my jaw drops. I look to Fury and Natasha slightly upset. Neither of them decided to tell me that Tony was Howard's son let alone that Howard even had a son. As the video starts I watch Tony walk off stage. Natasha sends me an apologetic glance as Fury gestures for us to follow him. As we follow Fury I walk beside Natasha and ask her. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I though you knew he is all over the tv and news."

"I don't really do the whole technology thing. It's still a bit much. What is he like though?"

"Howard's son Tony Stark. Well he didn't go to college. He felt like it was 'A waste of time'. But its not like he even needed it though. He's a genius. Graduated high school at 11 and took over Stark industry at 18, but he was inventing and designing for the company since he was 14. But Tony isnt...a...people person I guess you could say. He's a futurist. Loves technology more than he does people. He's also an egotistical smart ass self centered playboy who is a reckless drunken party animal and he has quiet the record with women."

We walk the rest of the way in silence while I think about what Natasha told my about Tony. Fury opens a door to a private lounge and we all slip in and sit where no one can see us. I was hoping that he would be more like Howard, but I guess not. As we hear foot steps I quickly ask Natasha a question. "What else do I need to know about him?"

"He tends to lock himself in his lab its like his safe haven. But also try not to bring up anything to do with his dad."

"Why?"

"He hates him and frankly isn't to fond of you either ."

I wanted to ask more, but the door to the lounge opens. I hear a man's voice ask. "You feeling alright Tony? You don't look, so well."

"I'm fine Happy just stayed up really late last night working on a new project."

As the video of my father starts I head behind stage. The first thing I do is prick my thumb on my medical scanner. When it beeps I look at it to see that my blood toxicity is at 15.5%. Putting it away I rub my face tiredly. While behind stage I catch a glimpse of Nick Fury in the crowd. With the stress of my poisoning body, and having to listen to and talk about my shit father I can't find it in myself to have the ability to deal with any crap he will give me.

I'll just try to avoid him and enjoy the time I have alone right now. As I wait for the video to end I become bored and decide to listen to a bit of what my father is saying. He starts talking about him innovating the future to make it a better place. It doesn't take long for me to end up rolling my eyes and scoffing. Finding my old friend and body guard Happy I walk over to him. When he notices me he gives me a large grin. "So far, so good?"

"Yeah, but I saw Fury in the crowd though, so we need to hide out for a bit."

He nods knowing how I get when I am around Fury. As we walk I take off my jacket and white shirt off. Underneth I have on a white tank top on to cover up the black veins and dim my arc reactor light. Handing them to Happy I take the black button up shirt he hands me. Sliding it on I button it up and pull my shades out of the breast pocket. Going down a hallway I walk behind Happy. Before pushing open the doors he glances back at me "Its a zoo out there watch out."

Walking through the door I am instantly hit by flashes of camera lights. As Happy makes a path for us Pushing past my tired state I show off my billion dollar grin. Which in turn makes the women shout my name trying to get my attention. A blonde woman in a tight black dress manages to slip pass Happy to me. She gives me a seductive smile as she puts a folded piece of paper in my hands telling me to call her. I pocket it for later. I may be tired but I'm not too tired to turn down a night of fun. I stop to sign some autographs and take a few quick pictures.

Again we stop, as Happy introduces me to Larry King. I shake his hand and pat him on the shoulder.

"Larry its a pleasure to meet you." I say and we then continue on moving towards the lounge.

Finally we get to the other side of the building to my own private lounge. Without having to ask Happy goes behind the bar to pour me some scotch while I plop down on the leather sofa. Leaning my head back I let out a tired sigh. Happy hands me my drink and gives me a concerned look. "You feeling alright Tony? You don't look well."

Giving him a wave of my hand I take a sip from my drink. "I'm fine Happy just stayed up really late last night working on a new project."

He gives me another worried glance, but seems to be satisfied with my answer. Knowing that its not out of the ordinary for me to hide away in my lab for long period at a time working on various projects going days without sleep. Then I hear the voice of the one man I had hoped I could avoid. "He's right Stark you look like shit."

I look up and pull my shades the bridge of my nose and see Nick Fury and agent Romanov. My graze shifts and I feel a flare of spite as I see the blond man next to Nick. The main reason for my contempt towards my father. His greatest creation. My father's super soilder Captain America. Perfectly good Steve Rogers.

I see Tony's graze land on me harden. I start to feel annoyed. Who does he think he is he doesn't know me how could he hate me. I try my best to ignore him as his gaze shifts away from me and turns back to Fury and Natasha. He gestures for us to sit while he finishes his scotch. When we find our places on the couch Tony's bodyguard Happy fills Tony's glass with more scotch. "Thanks Happy."

Takeing a sip he pulls off his shades and places them on the coffee table. As I get a full look at his face I finally understand why Happy and Fury had said those things. Under his eyes he has dark circles and his skin looked too pale to be considered healthy. Polishing off his second drink he finally speaks. "Is this about your super secret boy band because I already told you I may have given you the tech to create it, but it doesn't mean I want a part of it."

As Happy gets Tony yet another drink I look at Fury I can tell he is already frustrated with Tony. "Look here Stark..."

"I'm sorry I don't want to get off on the wrong foot here, but do I look at the eyepatch or your eye its really confusing."

I notice Tony's bodyguard Happy stifle back a chuckle at Tony's comment. Fury send a look at Tony clearly saying ' I wish I could kill you' then he smirks. "Don't tell me your still mad about last year's incident."

Tonys eyes narrow as he speaks again sarcastically. "No I have totally gotten over the fact that you sent her to spy on me and try and hack my systems to find out about my Iron man suits not that you were successful."

I looks at Natasha and see no guilt on her face as Tony glares daggers at them. "Stark you make it sound personal you had just gotten back we didn't know what they did to you and you start making these Iron man suits. We needed to know why you were building it and for what. On top of that you had locked yourself away in your house."

"Well it felt personal and now you know what the suits are for. Also I have a lot more now if you would like to know I get bored and decide to tinker and besides why would I join you when I have been doing perfect on my own. Plus you should know by now I don't like being ordered around nor do I play well with others."

"You would be joining to protect to world and because of your little problem."

I notice Tony slightly tensen as his eyes narrow at Fury warily. "I don't know what problem you are talking about eyepatch."

"Sure you do Stark the one dealing with that new arc reactor project you started last night. Sheild it preparing to give you full access of material equipment and whatever else you may need that even the great Tony Stark can't get a hold of. All you have to do is help us. You scratch our back we scratch yours."

"Nice to know you are still spy on me. Jarvis scan the house for bugs then remove and destroy all of them. Since I know Shield can't hack my systems."

As Tony taps on his watch a voice comes from is saying. "Right away Sir."

"Not to mention joining would save me time hacking into the Shield database again. Ok how about this. I'll support your cute secret boy band. Give them a proper place to live. A place to train. But i will NOT be joining. Not completely. Oh and we keep my involvement a secret letting people know could cause media problems. Which I have enough of as it is. Also everyone stays out of Stark industries business my problems with my company are my own not the avengers'."

I can't help, but frown as I listen to Fury and Tony talk. Its obvious that they are trying to hide something from me. The only problem is I don't know what. Wanting to break the tension I decide to ask. "Um... I am kind of new to all of this technology, so I apologize for asking, but what is an arc reactor?"
