Chapter 11
Howard's pov
"That's... That's not possible "
how, how it can be, h- he was in front of my eyes all time. He was here all that long. I was searching and searching, looking with Peggy everywhere for him, checking his name on all the networks.
Antony Steven... Carter Stark, mine and Peggy's son whom we have from one night stand in 1979, when Peggy found out that she was pregnant, I told her that I couldn't keep him Neither could she, because her work was too dangerous to have a baby and she was also old. She gave him to a family to adopt him. But she lost the adoption papers somewhere. And she doesn't remember what the family name was. The only one who connected us to them to him were Jarvis and Anna.
As everyone know, Jarvis was my loyal butler and Anna was his lovely wife, after Anna got shot at the events of Whitney frost, they wanted to adopt him but they couldn't because they were busy with work and scared if something happened to him like what happened to Anna, so they watched him from far but they swore that they would never tell us anything about our son, so before we know anything about our son or where he is, they died in a car accident.
After 27 years, we realized our mistake and at the same time, we needed someone to be our legacy, someone lucky enough to be the son of Howard stark and Peggy Carter, and take what Peggy and I have built for years and years.
Now, standing in front of me, the assistant of my best friend's daughter, who's a very smart man, has mine and Peggy's features. He was adopted and doesn't know his parents, has an AI named after Jarvis, my butler, and he also has a son.
Well, shit.
I start to feel dizzy. I have... I have to be one hundred present, sure of that, I have to go to shield and search more about him.
"..., Mr stark are you okay?"
"Yeah, i'm okay, i'm okay, I just... congratulations for the new arc reactor son, I have now to send someone to but those things away, I also have to go and do some work at shield"
"Okay Mr stark , thank you so much for helping me" he said with a big smile and I nodded at him.
When I walked out of the office, I walked out of the building to the car, and Peggy... I can't tell her now, or she will destroy everything with her motherly feelings and crying. She will go to Tony to hug him and tell him everything. I will just-
"Howard where are you going ?" Speaking of the devil.
"Oh hey honey, how are you doing ?, I was searching for you!"
"Is everything okay?, how is Tony, is everything alright ? "
"Yeah yeah, he is okay, I just remembered some work I need to do at shield..." I lied
"Okay, I will come with you , I also have some work to do, I talked to Natasha, she said that she will go and apologize to Tony and then she will go to the expo"
I just nodded, she can read me easily. She doesn't have any work to do at shield at the moment. Oh god, she knows me so well.
I opened the car's door for her and walked to the driver seat then start driving to the shield facility.
"Uhhh, Peggy, have you ever thought how our son looks like?"
"Howard, you know very well I do think about him every day, which mean I of course thought of how he would look like, did you find anything ?" She asked with some hope in her eyes
"No no, I was just thinking, what if ummm, our son, have a kid... And, or wife "
"Howard, what are you trying to say?"
"Nothing really, you know that I'm just overthinking about literally everything"
((gee, same pal))
Then I changed the subject and start talking about the wedding, thank God.
Tony's pov
After Mr stark walked out, I went to Miss Romanoff's office. We have to ride the plane in one hour. We have to attend the Hammer Expo, of course, I didn't forget about Rhodey and I will see what he did after I make sure everything is okay. I took my 'backpack' and knocked on Natasha's office door, then I walked in.
"Ms Romanoff, the plane is ready to go now"
this Anthony was sitting on one of the chairs. Now i can prove his truth to Natasha finally after I found the solution to the arc reactor.
May and Ben told me that they would take care of Peter today. God, I don't know what I would have done without them yeah I remember now just like Ben said 'you would probably die'
"Okay, thank you Mr parker, Mr Cha... Roberts, can you please get out because I want to talk to Mr parker alone"
Antony just walked out without saying anything.
"Tony, I wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything I did, I didn't mean to"
"It's okay Ms romanov but we really have to go now to the plane"
Natasha and i walked out of the room and happy drive us to the airport where the plane is waiting for us.
even when her apologize wasn't enough, I just let it go, I'm really so hurt and broken from her, but it's not the perfect time for this.

When we arrived at the expo , we sat down in the middle of the audience.
Hammer was showing his robots, and guess what, rhodey, and my suit is one of the things he showed to everyone in there. I have been cut off by unknown phone call. This was his voice. Ivan's voice, he isn't dead.
"You sound pretty spray for a dead guy."
"You too. I double cycle."
"You what?" I asked with confusion.
"You told me double cycle's more power. Good advice.
What your father did to my family in 40 years, I will do to you in forty seconds"
"Look Man, I don't even know who my father is- " But before I could continue, he closed the line, ouch, rude.
"I will go to the bathroom"
I said, then start running to the bathroom with my backpack. when I got in. I wore the iron man suit. What Jarvis could locate was that he was at one of Hammer's places.
I flew out of the building, then got in through the window. I asked Hammer and he acted like he didn't know anything,what an innocent guy who doesn't know anything.
Rhodey told me that he can't control his suit.
Yeah, of course not everything will go as planned.
Those hammer bots are following me and trying to kill me while flying around New York, which is filled with people. I was trying to destroy them without letting them hurt me or anyone else.
Nat told me that the police arrested Hammer and she didn't find Vanko inside the building, thankfully, she returned to my honey bear Rhodey his control now he's not trying to attack and kill me anymore.
We started to fight more bots together until Nat told us that the coming is even bigger and will be stronger than the other bots, and guess what, it's Ivan, he was really so strong. maybe the strongest villain I will ever fight.
(lol, he doesn't know anything )
Me and Rhodey shot him at the same time like we did before, thankfully his suit isn't working anymore, but then came a pepping voice.
"Okay, man let's go" Rhodey said flying away, I was about to follow him but then I remembered... " NAT"
I flew as fast as I could to where she is, there was a suit in front of the building, she and happy were walking toward the suit to see what's this sound. I carried both of them fast and fly away from the bot.
The explosions were happening behind us. It's like a romantic scene
me and Natasha... And happy, I'm pretty sure that he is the one who will destroy this moment, So I put him on a building's roof, and then me and Natasha went to another building's roof. Thankfully, my helmet is still on my face.
"Wait my assistant is still there!-"
"Don't worry about him, he is coming right now "
"WAIT..." Before she could say anything I act like I'm flying away, but I went down to another building's roof and took off the suit and ran up the stairs fast to the building Natasha's on.
"Oh my god Natasha are you okay, did something- "
Before I could continue, she smack her mouth on mine, I smiled through the kiss and then closed my eyes and put my hand on her back, it was the best kiss I ever had in my life...well, i think the frist too, the first romantic one.
We broke the kiss to breathe. I looked at her in the eyes and still standing close to her, I'm literally screaming, we finally did it, we did it, we kissed, WE KISSED HAHAHAHAAA YOU FINALLY DID IT ANTHONY, YOU DID IT YOU DUMBA*S... Actually she's the one to kiss me but HAHAHAAAA.
"Weird?" She questioned
"no it's not weird"
"it's okay, right?"
"Yeah, run it by me again"
I said and she kissed me again, but as I told you millions of times, not everything goes as you want it to. It was a quick moment.
"I think it was weird" came the familiar voice of James Rhodes, really Rhodey, really! "You both look like 2 birds fighting for a seal"
"what are you doing here? " I asked him with annoyance.
"Well, I came here frist, your friend iron man came here after me and he left the poor happy on the other roof, it's looks like he was planning for both of you to kiss"
he winked at me and I just rolled my eyes, he was about to say you, and Nat would know that I'm iron man.
"Anyway, I will take your 'friend' iron man suit, my car destroyed in the explosion."
"Wha- nooo"
"This wasn't a question" then he flew away, I rolled my eyes, why people are just so rude today.
I smiled, and looked at Nat again.
"I love you, Antony... parker "
"You don't even remember my middle name, anyway, it's Steven "
She chuckled and I kissed her and she accepted the kiss happily, she cupped my cheeks as we kissed. I have to enjoy this moment. I have too much to explain and do tomorrow.
To be counted
SORRY I DIDN'T CONTINUE, but at least I stopped at everyone's favourite part ;) ...but with me as a writer, no one know what will happen next...even I myself don't know.
