Tony's pov
After I took off my suit and it returned to the bag form again, I walked to the women + Mr Potts, they were so worried,
"Tony where were you?!, we were so worried about you"
"I said that I will go to the bathroom, did I miss anything ?"
"Well it's a long story kid, sit down "
said Mr. Potts. When I sat, I looked at my left and found the others coming but then I heard Mike start speaking
"so you remember that iron guy , you know, your friend, he came and saved the car racers from the wiplash",..Whiplash huh ?, So that's what they are calling him now.
I didn't really pay much attention to what Mr Potts. The only thing that is working on my mind now Peter saying, 'promise me that you will never leave me daddy. ' Or Natasha, who told me once 'you know, if you want someone to tell you the truth, you have to wait until he is drunk or if he is angry, like now, i'm telling you a fact, or a truth whatever you name it, actually I'm telling you how to drag me to tell you something you want to know' ' tony, I want you to know that we will always be friends together and nothing will ever stop us, I will always trust you' .
At that time I was really stupid for believing her. Then I remembered rhodey, the poor man now is suffering in his work because of me, because of this stupid iron man, if I wasn't working for her or even quit from a long time, I wouldn't have been dying slowly, Peter won't have issues like that of me being away, for god's sake, he is nearly 7.
Howard, Alexi, Natasha and Anthony sat down, of course; Natasha was sticking with Antony. He looked at me, with a look that made me want to fill his face with blood .
"...Where were you?" Howard stark's voice got me out of my thoughts. Now it is his time to explain who the hell is this guy.
"In the bathroom"
" couldn't you find another excuse for being coward and be scared from this man, if iron man wasn't there, I would have stopped him , sis miserabilis ( you pathetic )"
I looked at him this 'bodyguard' with dark eyes and scary face, he was speaking Latin, he is speaking Latin because nat doesn't understand Latin, but he has a bad luck, I learned Latin after I knew he can speak it so we won't understand his ' spy ' thing .
"O tu , podex , existimas me nescire quod simile quid acturus sim , ut veritatem tuam cognoscerem .
(Oh you, asshole, you think that I didn't know that I was going to do something similar , that I might know your truth) "
He looked at me with angry sharp eyes,
"what, what, what is this Language, what are both of you talking about?"
asked Alexi, worried that something bad would happen. They all were looking between me and him, waiting for anything.
Then Peggy Carter tried to change the subject
"I heard that the Italian food is very good, why don't we try it, before we return to America after two days, plus natasha's birthday is after 3 days, we need to get ready for it "
I was still looking at anto.... I can't even call him by that name. I will call him... Anton, he doesn't deserve my extremely beautiful name.
"So Howard, whould you like to explain to us what happened, or should I say who is this and what you did to him, yeah and Antony, that iron man told us that if we want to connect him we have to tell you" I nodded and then everyone looked at Howard.
"Ivan Vanko was born on February 15, 1968. He was the son of Anton Vanko, a Russian physicist who helped me design the Arc Reactor, but was deported from the United States when i accused him of espionage. Anton fell into poverty and alcoholism, and also abused his son for many years due to the personal humiliation caused to him by me.
Growing up, Ivan became knowledgeable in the fields of physics and mechanical sciences, and adopted his father's hatred for the Stark family. He also became a physicist, but was convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons-grade plutonium to Pakistan and served 15 years in Kopeisk prison."
That's the same thing Jarvis just told me in my earpiece, then I remembered, I have to go and Question Ivan tomorrow.
After the night finished and everyone went to their room, I got the iron man suit out to see what I have to fix when I return, then I called Peter, he was looked scared, as I said before, he doesn't love it when i'm out of the home for more than one day, and when I return, he sleep in my bed for two days then he returns again to his room.
I was standing in front of the mirror shirtless. I was hiding the arc reactor with a sticker tape that doesn't transfer the light. Then I heard a knock on the door.
I wear my shirt and walked to the door to open it and found Peggy Carter.
"Uh, hi miss Carter what are you doing up at that time, or should I call you Mrs stark? "
I said, smiling at her, she was a great woman. She proved to all the men in WW2 that she was capable of doing anything the men could do. She is the director of shield, that's the second reason that Howard loves her, after she was his friend and was his strong rock all the time.
"No, it's still miss Carter, even after my marriage, I do really want to keep the Carter family name alive"
then I could see a sad look in her face but she covered it fast
"can I get in I really need to talk to you about an important thing"
she want to talk about something out of the both, iron man or Natasha, or maybe both, who know. I opened the door to her and she got in and sat in the only chair in the room, while I sat on the bed.
"Antony is your name right, or they changed it when they adopted you ?" I nodded, how does she know about me being adopted, no one know about me being adopted from the Parkers, exept Natasha... And Rhodey, Howard... Okay okay I understand
"Don't worry no one told me about it, I read your file and I found out about it"
I raised my eyebrows, they have a file of me, really? Is my job in this file Natasha Romanoff's assistant and the way to connect iron man ?. I can't let her be the one who is asking me. I will impress her and show her I am not the only one who's file had been read.
"And I also did read your file miss Carter, it was really great how you proved to everyone you arecapable to do whatever you want and making shield, I think you named your son after your old love Steven Rogers or as the other calls him captain America, i'm sorry for your loss, oh and can I ask you a question, that time you had a one night stand with Howard stark in 1979, is that how both of you loved each other's, and if it is tell that to natasha, maybe her 'bodyguard' is her future husband "
this time it was her turn to raise her eyebrows, she was surprised by what she just heard.
"you know too much, more than you should know, is the one night stand part was in my file too"
I nodded. She made a heavy sigh. She looked at my neck. I tried to hide it as much as I could these past few days So no one would notice.
"Frist I want to thank you for what you said, and yes, his name was Steven, Steven Rogers, but about the one night stand and how you hacked into shield and read my file, we will talk about it later..."
" I was trying to see clint's file and I saw yours, I became curious so I didn't have any other choice exept read it and then read... Barton's "
I admit, maybe I read some other files in the middle, but anyway that's not important
"in the both of ways, you hacked shield and read my file, anyway that's not why I'm here for"
And here we go.
"The frist hing I want to talk to you about is the iron man, as you know, the frist appearance to him was when he saved you from afganisthan and then he kept you in the desert and flew away when he heard the helicopter's voice, right ? "
I nodded, I know what she wants to know.
"Then he appeared again, destroyed the weapons with the terrorist then saved you and natasha , then he kept saving us through all this long six months, he disappeared for a week then he returned again today, he told us if we want to connect him ,you are our way to, right?" I nodded again, I know that she want to know his identity or him working for shield.
"There was an idea, to bring together a group of remarkable people to have wars that we can't have, do you think that iron man is the only superhero in this world Mr parker, he is a part of a big universe , we, shield, are collecting that team to the time when we need him, and the iron man is so recommend to be in that team, I would love you to tell him that, and if he is going to see Ivan tomorrow, then we would love to know the information he got"
I looked at her with emotionless eyes, but inside me I was planning to what to do next, I have to meet Ivan tomorrow, and she knows that iron man will do that, and I have also to think about what she said, but I can't let anyone have this, i'm even not sure yet if I will survive this or not.
"Tony, can you tell me what happened in afganisthan?"
Her eyes softened, her voice was low and full of care, like the mother I dreamt of having, she want to know what happened in there, if I didn't tell her, she will know later from Ben or may by her own way, and she will know things she shouldn't know, but if I was the one who is going to tell her, I won't tell her all the parts.
"They throw a missile at me, that made the sharpnel get inside my chest, they Took me and made a surgery on me without even drug me, they opened my chest and moved my organisms while I was awake, they couldn't get all the sharpnel out of me because I died two times in their hands and return to live again, there was a sharpnel still inside me so they put a magnet and a battery inside me, in the middle of my chest ..."
I said walking around the room, telling her everything happened, things I didn't want to say, my voice was getting high
"...To slow the sharpnel that was getting it's way to my heart, there was 15 days remained for me before the sharpnel tear up my heart and they wanted me to build to them the Jericho missile in that time that remained to me, I refused and the tortured me, they water board me, until I accepted but instead of building the Jericho missile, I build my own version of the arc reactor, it's the same one at the company but this one is small, as this"
I said take off my shirt and showed her the arc reactor, she gasped
"this one gave me more five life time and it can run something large for 15 minutes, then we stayed there, I acted like I was building the Jericho missile but I was building something that can connect someone of the man who was helping me in there, his name was yinsen, he is the man who first knew about iron man and he trusted him, he connect him and told him to come and save us, so until he come, we tried to get out of the cave, but... Yansin didn't make it out of there, iron man just saved me and destroyed the weapons he found in there, yinsen died because of me, you know that feeling like you are the reason of the death of someone you love or cared of"
i sat down again and just looked down
"my son, Peter, maybe he was a mistake and wasn't supposed to come, but he is the best mistake that I have ever done in my life, he is perfect, he is smart, I mean he will be a great man when he grows up. His mother, isn't really my wife, she was my friend, me and my two brothers, rhodey and ben's wife may, we were friends, a really close friends, But me and Mary, marry is actually Ben's fiancée, but a fight happened between them, it was my 21's birthday and I invited both of them she was really angry at him and wanted to make him jealous, we were really dru k and...Peter happened, her and Ben returned to each others and they got engaged, Mary found out that she's pregnant with my own son, they wanted to give him up but I tolde them that I want to keep the kid, I don't want him or her to suffer, just like I suffered, I will never accept my son to pass through all what I passed through, all the torture and crying night I had, I won't be like my parents who left me without a care in a world, I swear if I meet them, I will show them how great and perfect man I am now, they won't have any excuse, I passed through the same thing they passed through or maybe worth and kept my child not throwing him to that family that having fun by punching the kids or cut the food and water off from them.
I didn't tell Peter about his mother until now, of course he met her and my brother Ben, they were living next to us and Ben, I told Peter that his mother was his aunt, they died in a plane crash, they were scientist like me, i knew that it wasn't a good idea for them to keep this experience but they did, they died because of oscorp, they wanted their experience, but before they take it i did, and it's still with me and I even tried it and it worked, their experience worked and they died for nothing, if I just stopped them from going, they wouldn't have died, and If I died in the cave, Peter would have been orphan from both of parents, that's why I wanted to get out of there, for Peter"
I never felt so open to someone like that before, there was tears in my eyes, she came and hug me. I rested my head on her shoulder,
"hey it's okay, you know what, you are right about the decision you made, I hope if I could return back in the time and do the same thing"
I break the hug and then sniffle,
"what do you mean ?" She made a heavy sigh and then start to explain
"in 1979, I had a one night stand with Howard, I was too drunk and sad because I missed Steve, then Howard came to me trying to comfort me, but it turned to kisses and then I found myself in his bed, I didn't really care for what will happen after that, all I cared for was to get drunk more and forget all about Steve, so I spent the night with Howard, the next morning i got out from his house and the next week's passed normally like nothing happened, but I was feeling pain, a strong pain, I thought it was because I was getting older, but when I went to the doctor he told me that it was because I was pregnant, I was soshocked and scared, I can't have a baby at that age plus that my job is dangerous, I didn't have any other choices, so I gave him up to the adoption, there is a family that took him, I didn't hear from them after that, but after many years I realized what I did, so I tried my best to find him everywhere, Howard also realized what he did and apologized for his one night stands and all his 'kids' , but the one that he didn't find and it was wrote in his file which he knows the mother and she also don't know where he is and they are searching for, I just want to find him and I will indemnity him for all this years, if I just find his birth certificate I will find him, and have him back"
"Oh you know , If I was him, I wouldn't have forgive you easley if the family you gave him for is as bad as mine, don't worry miss Carter you will find him, after all, you are getting married to Howard stark, one of the smartest men in earth " I said, smiling at her. Thankfully she forgot about Natasha ...
"Oh and I didn't forget about natasha, we will talk about it later, we have a long day tomorrow, for now, have some sleep, I need to go to Howard before he wake up and get scared like a kids"
I laughed and goodbyed her, then walked to the bed thinking about everything we talked about until I fell asleep.
