Binge of Breakthroughs
After returning from Siberia Tony threw himself into work to try and forget about it. He churns out inventions and updates for SI, pushes through amendment after amendment for the accords and has a game and movie night with his friends, teammates and his new intern Peter twice a month. They get rid of Ross and find and bring back Bruce, rebrand and expand the team, dividing it into several local teams and getting official agreements of working together against common threats with several others that don't want to become Avengers. There are scholarships, internships and scientific collaborations. And through it all Tony rises, healed, grown, improved and ready to live his best life.
Then the Asgardians' refugee ship arrives to warn them about Thanos, so the UN issues conditional pardons for the rogues, who think it means that they were right and the world sees it now. Well, it's not the first time they have been so wrong... Because Tony the avenger, mechanic, funder, public speaker and scapegoat never came back from the Siberian winter. The man standing between the world and its enemies now is Tony Fucking Stark. He won't hold back anymore.
