After cleaning off, (Y/n) and Tony had taken their seats in the back of the car; Happy just watching the pair through the rear-view mirror, he just as curious as the others to see what was in the box that they had dug up. But now, they had been sat there for at least thirty minutes; yet neither man wanted to say anything, as the immortal continued to stare at the small metal object in her palm.

When she and Tony had opened the box, it was obvious, as (Y/n) had said, that Howard had wanted them to find it together; that he had known that one day the two would meet. The pair finding an album that was filled with just pictures of (Y/n) and Howard from before and during, Project Rebirth. Pictures that the immortal had believed had been lost, forever. There were also a couple of cans with old film in them; one that had a sticker on it saying that it was for (Y/n). The other, with 'For Tony's eyes only' written on it. (Y/n) just laughing, saying that the secrets between father and son, were fine to be kept between father and son, before reaching into the box and pulling out a pile of old blueprints. The immortal looking through them and saying that they had been things that she and Howard had worked on, together. That the only reason that they had not been able to go any further than this stage, was because the technology at the time wouldn't allow it, and that perhaps Howard had left them there in hopes that when Tony and she did meet, they would be able to continue the work. They would be able to bring these things to life. Yet it was not these that had caused the immortal to just sit and stare; it was a small box, that had contained a notebook and a little metal object. The object, the ring that she had given Howard, not long after he had asked her to marry him.

This had all begun when she had pulled out the insignificant looking box from the bottom of the larger one; Tony too busy scanning through the blueprints, as she had opened the box and took out the book that was surrounded by a kind of light paper, to notice anything. (Y/n) chuckling to herself, as she saw the childlike wonder on the billionaire's face, before fully turning her attention to the leather-bound book. Fate seeming to open the thing to some notes; notes that seemed to show that Howard and Erskine had been working on something without her knowing. Something that seemed to suggest that it would not deprive her of all her abilities, just her immortality. A couple of scribbled lines, saying that this was the only way that Howard could hope to be with her; that if they could make the 'serum' work, they might be able to have the life that they had planned on. The immortal only able to take her eyes from the book, as she moved and something that had been hiding under the paper, fell out onto the floor next to her feet. The breath catching in her throat, as she realised what it was and placed the notebook on her lap so that she could lean over to pick up the ring. (Y/n) having been sitting in this spot, with the signet ring in her palm, since then.

"Er, (Y/n)............" Tony began, as Happy gave his boss one of those, 'what the hell is going on' looks. The billionaire just shrugging, before deciding that yes, he should probably say something.

"Is.........is everything ok.............?"

"What........? Oh, um, yes.......I just.......I gave this to your father not long after he had asked to marry me. I found a jeweller in Queens, that could engrave the heraldic crest of Stark on it, for me. I told Howard that it was my engagement ring for him, and without any hesitation, he put it on his ring finger............Its silly. I knew that he would have removed it, especially when he had met your mother; but a little part of me had hoped that he had never taken it off.........." (Y/n) explained, turning the signet ring over in her hand. Happy quickly turning in his seat to look at his boss, at the remark that the young woman and Tony's dad had been engaged. The head of security not sure what to think. The billionaire just gesturing that Happy was not to worry about it, and mouthing that he would try and explain all this later.

"Well............." The immortal finally continued, as she shook the thoughts from her mind and pushed the ring into her jacket pocket.

"What are we still doing here? The sooner that we get back to the compound, the sooner we can see what's on the films that we have been left. That, and maybe have a look at those blueprints, together............." Then immortal added, with a hopeful tone about the blueprints. Tony smiling at her and nodding, before telling Happy to take them back to the airport.
