Chapter 1 Tony Age 15
12.00 Am, Stark Mansion, Long Island
Tony Stark was not like other teens or even other people; he knew that he was smarter than even most adults and that he was very mature for his age. His father was the famous and rich Howard Stark. The Public believed that he lived the perfect live, a genius, with the potential to do everything he wanted, with loving parents, who were always there for him, and then he also had more money than Pluto himself, he had to be happy they thought.
However they were all wrong, he wasn`t happy and would give up everything he had to be normal. His mother was a drunk and never there when he needed her, never there to show him the wonderful thing that is a Mothers love. But Tony was sure that his Mother loved him, she just didn`t know how to show it.
His Father however was an entire different story. Howard Stark never got over the loss of his friend and best "Invention", Steven Rogers or better known as Captain America, thus he drunk to much alcohol , and while his mother just failed at being there for him, his father abused him, because he was , in Howards eyes, never as good as Steven Rogers.
But the times they were sober were Tony´s most treasured memories, laughing together, eating together and just being there for each other.
Tony was still mostly raised by the family butler Jarvis and the personal of the Stark Mansion. Since he was five he had Jarvis teach him martial arts, with the hope of proving himself to his father. It never worked.
While he pondered about all of this Jarvis drove up with the car. They would go to the beach to have picnic. He had never been to a beach before, so he was very excited to see what all the hype in the internet was about.
03.00 Pm, Montauk Beach, Long Island
Tony was busy building a sand castle, mind you it was more of a sand palace, and for once just being the child that he still was deep down, a small smile playing on his lips, when suddenly a man in a black suit walked up to Jarvis, whispered something in his ear while the strange spoke Jarvis face morphed from an impassive expression to one of pure shock, than to one of sadness.
Jarvis turned and looked at him and started to walk in his direction. Tony got up and stood with a curious look on his face in front of his sand palace. Jarvis kneeled down on eye level took him in his arms and whispered "I am so sorry, Tony. " Tony was confused, what was up with Jarvis? , so he decided to ask with a timid voice "Jarvis why are you sorry? What`s up? Did something happen? ", rapidly firing of questions, "Yes, Tony your Mother and Father were shot by someone this morning during a weapon presentation of Stark Industries. They both died." answered Jarvis slowly. Tony fell down in shock, on his newly built sand castle, destroying it completely. He started shaking and tears gathered in his eyes for the first time in 5 years, even though he may not like his parents very much, because they were pretty bad parents, they still were his parents and his family.
Then he was engulfed by a familiar warmness and attacked by a familiar smell. Jarvis had his arms wrapped around Tony´s body and hugged him tightly. They stood there holding each other until Jarvis spoke up after 10 minutes of silence "Hey, ", he said in a soft voice "everything is going to be alright"
Then they drove home.
08.00 Pm Same evening, Stark Mansion, Long Island
Tony was numb, he didn´t know what to feel. He generally wanted to forget everything just this once. All his memories of his Parents, even the worst of them made him miss them even more. He would never wish anyone to lose their Parents because of weapons with his name on. He saw the irony behind it, Howard Stark weapon inventor, got killed because of a weapon he himself designed. Tony knew one thing for sure at this moment, Stark Industries had to stop making weapons, he didn´t want people to kill each other with weapons which have his surname on anymore. But then he would have to close down Stark Industries and that would be like spitting on his Parents memory, thus he decided before he took control of SI he would play a front, all the while designing and inventing useful, non-lethal things to publish as soon as he stopped selling weapons. He then decided to do this he would study as much as possible, also stepping up his training in the Martial arts and perhaps some other things. Determined to change the world, he got up and searched for Jarvis to tell him about his plan for Stark Industries and himself.
He found Jarvis sitting in the kitchen, head in hands and shaking as heavy sobs raked through him. He was reminded that this man just lost not only his boss, but his two best friends. Tony walked up to Jarvis and did something completely out of character, he hugged Jarvis. Jarvis first stiffened at the contact, but then he hugged Tony back. They sat there in the dark kitchen, both completely silent and taking comfort from each other. Then Tony broke the silence and explained with fast sentences his plan for Stark Industries, his own life and asked Jarvis for help.
Time Skip: 3 years; Tony´s age: 18 and a half
09.00 Pm, Random Building, New York
It was the evening of the 12th August. On this evening one of the yearly fundraisers for Africa was held. Many people were there, Reporter, Stars, Actors, Shield Agents/Assassins, just the usual crowd. But then a ridiculous expensive car came driven up, the License plate said `Stark1´. This got some exited murmurs, but nobody had really high hopes that it was really the nearly unreachable Stark. Both doors opened and the first person to get out of the car was Jarvis. This got the crowd even more excited because Jarvis was very well known as Howard and Maria Starks Butler. The next to come out was a young man between 18 and 20. He stood 6"2 with the body build of a swimmer. Clothed in an expensive suit and expensive sunglasses on his nose, even if it was 09.00 Pm and completely dark, stood Anthony Edward Stark.
Everyone was quite until, as one, the crowd started humming with excitement. The reporters screamed, trying to get Tony´s attention. They got it as he turned towards them and walked up to them. He spoke, with much self-confidence, a charming smile playing on his lips "I wish you all a wonderful evening, my name is as you all most likely figured out by now Tony Stark. I´d like to tell you all that in two days I will hold a press conference of my own, so that every question you have will be answered then, but now let us concentrate on the people in Africa who need our help, not me, even if I would like all the attention." with an exaggerated bow he left the swooning reporters to mingle with other people.
