Chapter .1.
Tony had been keeping secrets for years. He was an expert at keeping them now. His father had started his most important secrets and Tony had to carry it on.
Tony was not as young as he looked. Actually he was a lot older, a lot, a lot. He was actually born just before the war started in 1939. He was young then but still remembered the war and how it had an effect on the world. His Mother had taken to caring for him while his father had been helping Captain America. Tony still remembers watching the Captain America adds. He thought they were funny. But he liked it when Captain America started on making a difference in the war and fighting back. Tony was embarrassed to admit that Steve was his childhood hero. Along with Bucky Barnes.
But then Captain America was lost in the ice and Tony's father changed and became cold and spent every waking moment searching for the fallen hero. But Tony was totally ignored he was given a different version of the Super Solider Serum. And it made him able to stay looking so young. He aged at a lot lower rate.
Tony knew that Steve had no idea that Tony existed before he woke up from the ice and they fought together in New York against Loki.
When Tony was 18 he married his childhood sweetheart Alexandrina Kingston and she was given a version of the same serum as Tony. A year later they started a family which would become VERY large family. Tony kept them a secret that was something his parents agreed on so his children wouldn't grow up in the spotlight. He built a large ranch in Texas and he had his whole family there under the name Spark.
He had joined the Army at 18 but looked younger but an invention of his own made him appear as an 18-year-old. He excelled in the military. He went under the name Spark. So nobody knew he was a Stark. Except his commanding officer. He was allow special privileges as going home to see his growing family every few months. He served in the Vietnam War in the year 1960 – 1974 on and off. He also served in the Lebanese Civil War in 1982 – 1984. He had a few injuries but nothing too life threatening. He moved around after that in the army. Before taking a break to go to MIT in 1985, He briefly went back to the army in 1991 to serve in the Gulf War where he was made Brigadier General. Then after his parent's death he decided to take an honourable discharge from the army.
When he met Rhodey he went back to looking like a 15-year-old. But every time he went home to his family where everyone knew him as Tony Spark he looked older. He never told Rhodey his secret he didn't know how to tell him. So he kept quiet about it and so did his parents.
As far of Obadiah Stane knew he was young not in his 50's. So when his parents died in 1991 he was 52 and had grandchildren of his own.
He never wanted to be CEO of Stark Industries as he was happy sometimes being able to live the quiet life with his family on their ranch which they made a successful business out off. With a full three barns full of horses in all different breeds. And his children made he place successful by doing riding lessons and taking in problem horses and helping them.
But Tony went into the spotlight after his parents died as CEO but he let Stane too most of the work which he now regretted.
After his kidnapping in 2008 it was a real eye opener to his family legacy. And he made the decision to shut down the weapons division of Stark Industries which made his Children, Grandchildren and his young Great Grandchildren proud. The company Tony thought now he would be proud to give to the next generation of Stark's.
His family was also so proud when he became Ironman. Becoming a superhero his Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren idealized him. And they thought it was so call he was a superhero.
Then the Palladium Poisoning he thought would be the end of him. Even with the serum in his body. The serum did allow his body to fight the poison which otherwise would have killed him. It was how he survived having the Arc Reactor placed in his chest to begin with. The serum did wonders for his body.
His children also had the serum in their bodies because the serum Howard has passes along through the generations.
Now that he had meet the rest of the Avengers and housed, in the newly named Avengers Tower it was harder for him to find excuses for him to go and spend time with his family in Texas. He didn't have any intention of telling them how old he was because he knew that would change things in their eyes. They would see him as weak and probably permeantly bench him from missions.
He didn't think they would listen when he would explain that the serum had made his body and organs much younger for a person his age. None of them would believe it he believed. He knew without a doubt the second they find out his age their minds would jump immediately too his healthy and that he was too old to be Ironman.
He planned if they ever found out his age he would if them benched him leave the Avengers and go back to going Ironman stuff on his own. He had no intention of slowing down anytime soon as long as he was still as healthy as he was for a Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather.
Tony was planning on finding on some way to get out of New York for a few weeks to visit his family. He just needed to think of an excuse.
At the moment he had gone out to get some food for the picky Avengers. He didn't mind taking care of them. As it was, he was old enough to be all of their Grandfathers. So he didn't pay it much mind. He walks up to the counter to pay and finds out he didn't have his wallet on him.
"Damn. I must have left it at the tower", Tony mutters
"Problem Mr Stark?" the clerk asks
"Maybe just a small one", Tony admits not thinking it to be a big deal
If only he knew what was happening at the tower right now…
Avengers Tower…
Clint and the others had decided to order some food since Tony was taking so long but none of them had the money. So Clint went to Tony's room certain Tony would have a few bills in his room. He was surprised to find the wallet on the dressing table.
Smirking Clint takes the wallet and moves out to join the others he goes into the wallet sure he was going to find some bills. But his eyes catch sight of the drivers license and what he sees shocks him.
Anthony Edward Stark
DOB: 29th of May 1939
"This has to be a joke!" Clint exclaims eyes widening at the information on the license
"What is wrong?" Steve asks
"Look at this!" Clint says pulling out the drivers license and handing it over
"This is just Tony's driving license", Steve comments
"Look at his year of birth", Clint says
Steve's eyes widen there was no way that was possible. There was no way Tony was around during the war. Not when he had been so close to Howard. Sure Howard would have mentioned he had a son. Wouldn't he?
"What is it?" Natasha asks curiously
"Is this correct?" Steve asks Rhodey giving him the license
Rhodey was just as shocked as the rest.
"It can't be correct as Tony was 15 when we meet at MIT. I know he was he looked just like a 15-year-old", Rhodey exclaims
Bruce looks at it he couldn't believe it either.
"He doesn't look like he is in his 70's. His body wouldn't look like it is now if this was correct", Bruce comments
"It has to be fake", Clint says
"We need to talk to Tony. Something is not right about this", Steve says frowning
He was thinking about what this could mean. There was so many thoughts going through his head right now. So many different scenarios were going through his mind.
"I would say! There is no way Tones is 74!" Rhodey exclaims
