A Tony who actually had an "Aunt Peggy" would be horrified by MCU Tony
It’s always weird to see “Aunt Peggy” stories, because Peggy would NOT be proud of the way Tony turned out. What would happen if a Tony with an actual Aunt Peggy met MCU Tony?
Note: Set before Iron Man 1.

Tony was sprawled on a couch in his penthouse, just waking up from an long night of drinking and other activities.
So he was NOT ready for the shove that sent him tumbling to the floor.
After he shouted and lifted his head, he saw...himself?
Another Tony Stark frowned down at him. Only this one looked like he’d never been on a binge or a bender.
Tony2 said, “You look as bad as I expected. Get up, we need to talk.”
Tony sat down on the couch and said, “Jarvis? Are you seeing this? If you are, call the police.”
Tony2 shrugged and said, “Jarvis is offline for the time being.”
He moved to an armchair and said, “I’m here to give you a fair warning.”
Tony asked, “About what?”
Tony2 said, “About your LIFE. Do you not understand just how much good you could be doing in the world? Or how much responsibility Stark Industries is?”
Tony said, “I do what I want. Obie--“
Tony2 scoffed and said, “Obie? Obie is robbing you blind, you idiot. He’s selling weapons to terrorists--and YOU keep on making more and more destructive devices without caring what kind of damage they do. You do realize your actual customers are firing them at civilians, right?”
Tony stood up and said, “Just who the hell are you anyway?”
Tony2 replied, “You mean other than the obvious? I’m a Tony Stark who actually gives a damn about the world and the people in it.”
He stood and pushed Tony back with each word as he said, “I’m a Tony Stark who knows women aren’t disposable. That my employees are there to be respected and rewarded, not mocked and abused. And I’m a Tony Stark who is trusted to help protect his world from all kinds of threats, because I am an actual hero and not a manchild who could never be trusted with ANYTHING.”
When Tony’s back hit the wall, Tony2 said, “I feel sorry for you. I was raised by my mom, dad, Jarvis, Ana, and my Aunt Peggy Carter. If you’d been less of a creep and more of a man, maybe Peggy would have seen the potential in you, too. And you wouldn’t be such a waste of space.”
Tony2 shook his head in disgust and said, “I’m out of here.”
The next moment he was gone.
Tony didn’t know if it was a weird dream or real. But he thought either way, he’d better stop drinking and take a serious look at his life.
