Operation Steve Rogers is Alive

by Guardian of Hope

Steve Rogers thinks he's dead. Tony Stark refuses to believe that. A look at how a 'genius, playboy, billionare philanthropist' with a mechanical heart did something selfless and saved a friend. Move Verse Alternate Universe Sequel to Dead or Alive.

1. Phase One: Identity

Disclaimer: I do not own The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man or Thor

A/N: This is based off movies, not the comics. Any coincidental comic facts are by accident. This is not intended to be considered canon in any way, shape, or form. It was written because I had way to much on my mind. Just enjoy it for being a story. It says move/comic crossover because Iron Man is not listed as a movie (God only knows why) NOT BECAUSE THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE COMIC. Also, I am not saying if this is slash or not. You decide. And if you don't like this story because of that, then STOP READING. The only arm I am twisting is my own, to get all my updates done in a timely manner.

Tony Stark likes Steve Rogers.

Not that he gets to see the man all that often. Oh, and Pepper Potts is a Goddess. She had arranged (possibly as a revenge) a 'corporate retreat' and instead of ending up wanting another attack just for an excuse to leave, Tony had found stage one of Operation: Steve Rogers is Alive.

It was simple, and he'd heard it before, but now, he actually had a use for it. Now, when he sees Steven in 'civilian' clothes, he looks him in the eye, smiles and calls him Steve. In costume, in the field, he's strict about calling him Captain or Captain America, but in civilian clothes, he's Steve.

Steve Rogers is the best entertainment Tony Stark has found since he stopped drinking.

Seriously, the guy cannot understand what Tony is doing and it unnerves him. Tony half expects him to start wearing his uniform all the time, but Steve won't do that. He doesn't expect everyone else to be 'in costume' all the time and he won't push them to do it. But Tony won't stop calling him Steve.

It's the irresistible force (every one's expectations of the oh so humble Captain America) and the immovable object (Tony's quest to prove Steve is alive.)

It's time for phase two of Operation Steve Rogers is Alive. Allies.

Because Pepper Potts is a Goddess.

Steve Rogers is endlessly entertaining.

And Tony Stark likes Steve Rogers.

If only he could see more of him.
