My apologies for lack of updates; bipolar has been kicking my butt, but I am slowly recovering. I hope that you will enjoy this.

Tony looked at the intimate little setting; the table had been laid out for two, the candles already flickered, so now all he needed was the beautiful woman that he had invited to join him. He had to admit that he was still thinking about the picture that he had found in his dad's album; the photo that now sat in his pocket. Whoever the woman was that was the spitting image of the agent, his father had obviously cared for her; Tony able to tell by the look in Howard's eyes, able to tell by the smile on his face. Both were........well, warm, loving. The way that they held hands and the lipstick stain on his father's cheek, made the billionaire believe that the woman was most certainly more than just something to do with work, or one of Howard's fleeting dalliances. No, whoever this doppelganger was, Tony was sure that she had meant something to his father; had meant a lot to his father.

Suddenly a knock sounded, Tony turning to look at himself in the mirror so that he could straighten his tie, before making his way to the door. A broad smile instantly forming on his lips, as he opened the ingress and saw his visitor. Agent le Faye simply smiling back.

"Tony..................." (Y/n) greeted, as he opened the door and allowed her to move past him into the room.

"Agent le Faye, I am so glad that you could join me.................."

"How could I refuse? It's not everyday that a girl gets asked to dinner by a billionaire. And such a handsome one at that............." The immortal replied, as she turned to look at Tony; (Y/n) getting a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach, as he smiled at her. Her cheek's flushing, as he moved a little closer. The light from the candles behind her, dancing in his mischievous eyes.

"And it's not everyday that I get such a beautiful woman accepting my offer.............."

"Oh, I doubt that very much. I am sure that you would only have to say the word, and you would have beautiful women queuing up around the compound to have dinner with you." (Y/n) interrupted, as Tony pulled out a chair and she sat down. The billionaire making his way around to the other side of the table and taking his own seat.

"And I am also sure that that silver tongue of yours, would work on all of them................." She continued, as she took the napkin and placed it across her lap. Her smile turning into a chuckle, as her host rung a small bell, and into the room walked a large, rather disgruntled looking gentleman, with two plates.

                                                    >>---------------------------------<<

"Can I ask you about something............?" Tony asked, as the big man that the billionaire had finally introduced as "Happy" or Harold, placed the desert on the table in front of them. The supposed head of Stark Security, muttering something about this being the last time that he ever did his boss a favour, before giving the immortal a slight smile and then leaving the room.

"Well, as I have had such a wonderful evening, I suppose that answering another question is the least I can do................"

"Could you tell me who this is...............?" Tony continued, as he pulled something from his pocket and handed it to her. (Y/n) doing her very best to not reveal anything as she looked at the item in her hand. An image of herself and Howard looking back at her.

She could recall the night it had been taken. A little restaurant that Howard had had closed down for the night, just so that they could be the only ones there. He had said it was for all the hard work that they had been doing. That it was a little celebration for all that had been achieved. But in truth, it was just an excuse for the two of them to be alone together. To enjoy some time away from everything that still needed to be done. A brief moment when they could just be two people and not Howard Stark and an immortal.

"Where............where did you get this.................?"

"I found it in my father's things. As soon as I saw you, this image popped into my head.................Do you know who the woman is that looks so much like you...................?"

"I...........it.........its my grandmother. Her name was (Y/n) too. She died when I was very young, so I don't really remember her much; but my father always said that I was exactly like her. That we were two peas in a pod. He would tell me that she was quite the lady; that she was involved with the OSS during the war. But..........but I had no idea that she knew your father. And he most definitely didn't tell me that she and Howard.......well, were friends............" The immortal replied, as she gave the old picture one last look, before handing the photo back to its owner.

"Grandmother..............you two look so alike that I could swear that you were the same woman..............."

"Well, I will take that as a compliment, Tony. My father would say that his mother was a fine woman. That she was intelligent and brave. She is the reason that I joined S.H.I.E.L.D in the first place; I always wanted to be just like her. I like to think that she would be proud of me for trying to help the world, like she did when she was my age. And it would appear that we have another thing in common..............it would appear that we both like Stark men................" (Y/n) chuckled. The immortal hoping that years and years of having to make up new lives and excuses for herself, would now pay off. That this story would be a suitable explanation for the picture.

"You have a thing for me................?" Tony smiled, as he reached across the table and took her hand. (Y/n) breathing a sigh of relief, as the billionaire seemed to have instantly forgotten about the photo, and her "grandmother".

"How could I not? I'm not blind, nor do I find myself immune to that quite irresistible charm of yours................." The immortal continued, as Tony began to lean across the table. (Y/n) mirroring his gesture, sure that their lips were just about to touch, until a loud bang came to the door, causing the pair of them to turn their attention to the ingress, that once more shook with a knock.
