"Cap?' came a worried voice. "I need to talk to you."
"Bucky!?" Cap, a.k.a. Captain America, replied "What's wrong? You sound scared."
I am Steve. Some lady dropped off a baby. She said he's yours." Buck was frantic now. He was mystified as to why Steve would have a child. 'I'm too old for this' he thought. Bucky was the 90 year old ex-sidekick of Captain America. All he had wanted was a nice, quiet life, and now he had a bombshell dropped in his lap.
"All right Buck. I'll be around with some of the Avengers. Soon." Steve hit the end button and looked up. Iron man was talking to General Fury, Janet and Natasha were comparing notes on the male Avengers. Thor was, as usual, drinking. Hank was working on a quantum mechanics problem.
Thor was the first to spring a question. "What is wrong my friend? You are more pensive than my father Odin." Thor was the Norse god of Thunder. He was also very good looking. (A/N: My opinion!) Tall, muscular, handsome blue eyes. He was, in every sense of the word, a God.
"Bucky called." Cap said. "He says a woman left a baby with him claiming it was mine. I told him I'd bring y'all around."
"Cap has a KID?!" Hank was shaking from suppressed laughter. "This I gotta see!" earning him a smack from his wife. General Fury and the rest of the Avengers were in agreement with Hank.
----------------------------------------------
Awhile later… Thock! Thock! Thock! Captain America was about to lift the knocker on the door again when a haggard looking Bucky answered the door. "Hello Steven, Avengers. Come on in." Leading the way, Bucky led them into a well lit sitting room. His wife, Gladys, was holding a blond baby wrapped in a large fuzzy blue blanket.
"Hello Steve." came a soft voice. Steve recognized it as belonging to Gladys. He started, it had been almost a year since he had heard her voice.
"Cap, do I have permission to do a DNA analysis on the boy?" came a tinny, robotic voice belonging to Iron Man, a.k.a. Tony Stark, billionaire. "It could prove that the baby is yours."
"Sure" came a resigned reply. Steve knew it wasn't necessary, he could tell by looking that the kid was his son.
"Excuse me Steve" said Janet, a.k.a. Wasp, a dark haired beauty. Steve stepped aside and Janet went to pick up the baby. As she did a letter dropped out of the blanket, addressed to Steve.
"Dear Steven,
By the time you read this letter I will be dead. My compatriots at the Hydra genetics lab will have discovered my deception. When we captured you and your team in April we managed to duplicate the Super-Solider serum. We used your DNA and mine to create a clone of you. I sabotaged the program and placed a nannite pack in his blood. It will accelerate his growth and mind until he reaches the physical age of fourteen. He is yours to name and raise.
Goodbye,
Anita Fox, Hydra.
"Steve? You okay?" Hanks voice broke through his confused thoughts. His eyes were filled with concern. That was unusual for Hank, he usually loved to rib Cap about everything.
"DNA analysis complete. He's yours Cap." came Iron Man's voice. "So what are you going to name him? I have a few ideas."
"I'm going to name him Tony after you, Iron Man" Cap sounded like he was grinning evilly. He was.
"Aw damn" was Tony's reply. He had a feeling Cap wasn't finished.
"And I'm also naming you his god father.
