Disclaimer: I do not own The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America or Marvel and have not profited in any way from this story.
AN: All the italic's in this chapter are Steve's and Tony's.
A warning to everyone that there will be swearing in this chapter. Tony and his potty mouth. :P
If I write JARVIS I am referring to the AI, if I write Jarvis it is the human one. I hope that I didn't confuse anyone though out the fic if I did then write to me and I shall explain myself.
I wanted to thank everyone who pressed favourite, followed and just plain read this story so far.
Previously.
It was 4 hours later before anyone saw Steve again, Tony who was going over his suit and repairing and cleaning the armour just in case he had any use of it in the next couple of days was startled out of working on the left foot's repulser as Steve burst into the room looking furious about something that Tony had no clue about. What drew his attention was his own Stark phone that Steve was clutching in his hands. What the fuck! The bastered searched my room! Oh you're going down spangle pants. Dropping the spanner in anger he stood there with his arms crossed as he glared at the man who came straight up to him looking like he wanted to pick a fight with him. Bring it on Capsicle.
The last couple of days for Steve were the most confusing that he had ever had. The strange man that fell out the sky calling himself Tony Edwards, who wore such strange looking armour really confused him. Although Tony said that he was not here to harm anyone and wasn't a threat to the country but Steve wasn't to sure. Tony just didn't seem to be telling the truth about a lot of things, for example where did he get that weird armour from in the first place it just did seem to be like any technology that Steve had ever seen. Then there was the fact that the man said he was an alien despite looking like a normal human, Steve was definitely sure that Tony was indeed a human.
That was why he went and fetched Howard, as he knew the moment that the scientist saw the armour he would want to find out the secret of how it works. That would have been the most sensible thing that he did in the last couple of years, it worked a treat as immediately Howard focussed on how it was put together. Of cause they had to do it while Tony was still out cold in the Army infirmary, he seemed like a guy that would protect his possessions with his life. That is why they would never tell him about going over the armour, they didn't have a chance to look at any of the other item's that Tony had on his position because once Howard found himself in the same room as the armour he didn't want to leave. Everything was apparently beyond the knowledge of the scientist which is why he wanted to stay and look over it.
Since Tony had woken up in the army infirmary Steve hadn't had the chance to go and get a good look at the rest of Tony's possessions, as he still wanted to keep an eye on the man just in case he turned on them when they arrived at Howard's mansion. Hopefully he would have some time to look through the rest of Tony's possessions, yes it was morally wrong but Steve had to make sure that he wasn't a threat to anyone. What he didn't realize was that the mansion was the biggest house that he had ever stepped foot in so he might of gotten lost if he hadn't just followed Howard down to the lab. The plus side was that it was the place that both Howard and Tony both spent the most of their time in. While watching the both of Howard and Tony work, Steve couldn't help but notice that they looked like each other.
Shaking his thought out of his head he continued to watch over the two as they worked even though he was bored out of his mind. Luckily his boredom was broken when Colonel Phillips stoped by, even better was that he had a letter Peggy, since he wanted some privacy he returned to his room and read the letter. The letter was just what he need at that time, even if it was just her telling him that she was missing him and she didn't know when she would be in the states again but she hoped it would be soon. Maybe he could write a letter in return for Peggy and if he caught up to the colonel maybe he could convince him to give it to her when he saw next.
Signing the letter to Peggy he looked around for and envelope eventually finding it he sealed the letter up and left his room heading back to the lab. Steve had only made it down the hallway where Tony's room was located, he couldn't resist as he opened the door. I'll just have a quick peek. In and out before he comes back, Tony would never know. Immediately a strange device drew his eye, it looked like a small piece of glass surrounded by a thing metal frame. He knew that he shouldn't touch it but he couldn't resist going over and picking it up as curiosity got the better of him.
Weighing it in his hand he realized that it wasn't very heavy and that it had figure prints all over the glass as if Tony had been touching it constantly, for what reason Steve had no idea. Figuring that since it hasn't harmed him this far, Steve ran his finger over the glass not expecting anything to happen but he did anyway just to check it out. What happened next he wasn't expecting, a voice sounded out of the device causing him to drop the device and jump ten feet into the air as the British voice sounded.
"You are not authorised to access this device." The voice said.
First he thought that the voice was that of Howard's butler but looking around the room he was completely alone, going out to the hallway he checked both ways for a sign that someone was just there but he came up empty. Going back into Tony's room he picked up the device again and noticed that the glass had lit up with some sort of light, on the glass was the words 'Stark Industries'. Was this Howard's and Tony had stolen it when he wasn't looking? Maybe I should go and ask why he would have it. Maybe he really was a spy here to steal Howard Stark's secrets. He would figure out where that weird voice came from later, first he was going to solve the mystery that was Tony Edward.
Taking the device with him, Steve made his way back down to Howard's lab intent on solving this once and for all. Opening the door he saw that both the men were hard at work and the colonel had left, sighing Steve decided to go for a run and find the nearest post box to send his letter off to Peggy first and sort out what he knew about the mystery man named Tony. Right now he was too angry, if he did confront Tony about stealing from Howard he might do something that he would later regret.
A few hours later he was ready to face Tony without having the urge to punch him in the face, but he couldn't guaranty it if the man said something that didn't sit well with him. Taking the device out of his pocket he entered the lab determined to get the truth one and for all.
"Umm Steve, what's going on?" Howard inquired.
"Mr Edwards here has been lying to us this whole time. I bet his name isn't even real." Steve shouted.
"Oh and what made you think that captain spangle pants?" Tony asked with a completely blank face.
"I found this in your room." Steve said holding up his modern day Stark phone with the Stark industry logo pictured on the screen. Typical, he figured out how to use a mobile phone here but I bet he wouldn't be able to in the least he only made it to the Stark Industries screen saver. Now to find out what he thinks is going on I bet he still thinks that I'm a spy or something equally stupid. Tony snorted at that thought, unfortunately that didn't go over well with Steve who thought that the man was mocking him.
"You have been lying to us the entire time." Steve repeated himself letting his temper get the better of himself.
"No my name IS Tony Edward." Tony said staring the other man down.
"Then how do you explain this?" Steve asked holding the phone up.
"What is it?" Howard asked butting in and taking the phone from Steve's grip. Fuck! Howard might be able to work it out. As long as he doesn't find the any part of the data about either the Tesseract or worse my profile. May be he could get JARVIS to lock down the screen before my father figures out exactly who I am. Maybe he would be so freaked out about having a coloured photo of someone in the phone that he would just give it back to me, Nah. Although how would that conversation go. "Hello I'm your future son yet I'm older then you are even though I'm not even born yet." Yeah that would definitely be a really horrible conversation that I have to avoid at any cost.
"I think it's some sort of spying device that he's using to give the Nazi's and Hydra information about us and your Stark Industries. Why else would it have that logo on it?" Steve reasoned. Tony inwardly snorted at that.
"Yeah you're wrong captains spangle pants, completely wrong." Tony said shrugging his shoulders.
"Then why don't you enlighten us then." Steve ground out.
"I don't think I will, I …."Tony said.
Tony didn't get any further when JARVIS made himself known by saying. "You are not authorised to access this device." Great just another thing that they will want to know about. JARVIS seemed to spook both Howard and Steve causing Tony to laugh at the look on their faces as they jumped ten feet into the air.
"Who the hell was that?" Howard asked baffled.
"I heard that voice earlier when I touched that thing." Steve said pointing at the Stark phone.
Tony watched as Howard ran his finger across the glass screen again and cringed as the AI spoke up again. "You are not authorised please cease any attempt to hack in to this phone."
"Phone?" Steve asked quietly.
"How is this a phone?" Howard asked out loud.
"This is a phone designed by Mr Stark for his personal use." JARVIS said once again spooking Howard and Steve. Fuck he just said my name, what the fuck do I do now.
"I never made this!" Howard denied.
"You are not the only Stark alive at this particular time, sir." The AI politely informed him. Fuck! Just shut the hell up JARVIS.
"Who the hell said that?" Steve asked looking around for the speaker.
"I did sir." JAVRIS said.
"And where are you?" Howard asked also looking around for the person.
"In the phone that you are holding sir." JARVIS said causing Howard to leaned in and look at it more carefully while Steve stayed his distance.
"That was you in Mr Edward's room!" Steve accused. Say no, just say no JARVIS.
"Indeed sir." Gaaaaaaaaaaaah why!
"So you are Mr Edwards 'phone' are you not?" Steve asked glaring at Tony.
"No I am not a phone at all however I am just using Mr Stark's phone as there are no capable interfaces available at this time to contain my programing." The AI answered.
Tony watched as Steve turned to look at Howard bewildered and looking for answers, it looked like Howard didn't have them, internally Tony was grinning wildly but on the outside he had to make sure he kept his face as neutral as he could. He really needed to get that phone off of Howard before JARVIS said something that would make thing's worse not that this could get any worse of cause.
"But I did make you or this phone?" Howard asked thoughtfully.
"No sir." The AI replied.
"Is the person in the room?" Steve asked frowning. Say no say no say no.
"Yes." JARVIS answered. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCKKKK!
Steve turned to frown at Tony who was deciding that since they were getting close to the truth maybe he should just come out and say it before it got any further, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. So instead he remained silent and waited for the others to come to the conclusion themselves. It didn't take long before Steve spoke up again.
"You're not really Mr Edward are you?" He said looking at Tony.
"No I suppose it's not fully." Tony replied.
"Are you saying that your name is Stark?" Steve asked in a whisper.
"Better question are you related to me?" Howard asked. Ah well here I go.
"Yes." Tony said shortly. Be happy with that.
"How?"
"I suppose that you can say that I am your son from the future." Tony replied.
