*I already had this little bit written and decided to just post it. I still won't be continuing but this small chapter wasn't doing anything just sitting in my documents. So enjoy!*

Clint is the first to break the silence, "Woah, okay, hold up here," he says, "exactly how much of your life are we going to see?"

Tony hesitates before replying, "I think we're going to see everything from my capture onwards."

"Oh," says Clint.

"What's the problem, anyway?" Rogers comments.

"Yeah, now we get to see how Tony became the failure he is today," Romanoff chuckles.

"You know what?" says Bruce, "You two are the failures right now. You keep putting Tony down and acting superior no matter what he does. Stop acting like he is some villain you need to put down, because at this point, you're the villains. Well… you're not heroes, that's for sure."

"Oh, snap," the male Maximoff murmurs, chuckling, while his sister hit him in the back of his head.

Everyone stares, shocked at the Hulks alter ego. Tony's mostly shocked that he's not even green around the edges, since he looks like he's seething.

"I don't understand why you're defending him!" Captain America rages.

"Could be because they're both monsters…" Fury mutters.

That comment was the baking soda in the paper mache volcano for Tony.

"That's it, now you listen here everyone," he explodes, then takes a deep breath and calmly continues,"You can call me a murderer, an ass, whatever you want. You can remind me of every mistake I've made till the day I die. You can lock me up in a cell with Hammer for all I care. But don't you dare call Bruce a monster. He isn't one. So drag me to the middle of Times Square and kill me for the whole world to celebrate about, but if you call him a monster one more time, I will end you."

Tony then proceeds to collapse on his seat, ignoring everyone, and watching the screen. No one has anything to say, so they sit down again to continue the movie.

The title disappears and is replaced by an award ceremony. The words 'Las Vegas, 36 Hours Earlier' appear at the bottom of the screen.

"Tony Stark, visionary, genius, American Patriot."

"American Patriot? More like American Disaster," Rogers mutters.

"Better than American Poser…" Tony murmurs back.

"What did you just say?" Romanoff says threateningly.

"Oh, nothing," Tony replies, smiling cheekily, "just the truth about our dear old Captain America."

"Okay, everyone, just step back a little," Phil steps in,"No need to create a fight, just forget it."

No one can deny Phil Coulson, so Romanoff and Tony lean back into their seats and ignore each other… for the moment.

With that crisis averted, Coulson sits back and gets some much needed rest after dealing with these idiots.

"Even from an early age, the son of legendary weapons developer Howard Stark quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind. At age four, he built his first circuit board. At age six, his first engine. And at 17, he graduated summa cum laude from MIT."

Magazine and newspaper photos of Tony from childhood to his teen years are shown corresponding with the words being said.

"Wow," says Bruce, "that's impressive…"

"Yeah," Clint jumps in, "that's amazing man. I knew you were a genius but thats incredible."

Coulson nods and murmurs his agreement, while everyone else looks sour.

"It's not that great, he probably just bribed his way into those articles while drinking and partying all day long," Rogers interjects.

Tony looks down at his feet, hurt, at that.

I worked hard to do all that, but of course he thinks I couldn't do any of it, Tony thinks.

Growling, Bruce defends Tony, "Well, just because you were stupid and couldn't do all that when you were his age doesn't mean he couldn't do it!"

Looking affronted, Rogers replies, "Pardon me? I'll have you know I wasn't stupid when I was younger! And who knows? Maybe Howard had done all that and made it look like his son did it just to make people think Tony was good enough?"

Tony snorts, "He'd have to have a decent conversation with me in order to do that, so no, he didn't do jack shit."
