Tony lightly sighed as he stared out the window of his bedroom. It was cloudy outside. The weatherman on the radio said that there was a chance for snow some time within the next two days.

The young boy wondered if Steve heard the weather and remembered that they were suppose to have a snowball fight.

It had been three long months since he'd last seen his godfather and it hurt a little more inside when the captain didn't visit.

Tony was starting to wonder if the woman Steve told him about was real at all. He had yet to see her and his parent's never talked about her.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the phone ring. He quickly left his room and found his father's office and heard his father's voice.

"He'll be so happy to see you Steve. I think he's been going a little stir crazy. Not being able to see you every day and being in his room trying to invent new robots."

Tony perked up when he heard his godfather's name.

"I'll let him know right away Steve. I'll see you soon."

Tony quickly rushed back to his room and pretened to be working on the newest robot. He had just grabbed items in his hand when his father entered the room.

"Tony, I have some good news for you." Howard said with a smile on his face. "You're Uncle Steve is going to meet us at the park tomorrow to see you."

"Why can't he come here?" Tony asked with honest curiosity.

"Because he's going to introduce us to the woman he's been helping. Natasha Romanoff." Howard answered.

She's real?! Tony thought surprised.

"We're going to meet them at the park because Steve doesn't want her to know where we live right now." Howard explained. "He says that she's really made progress and wants to see how she interacts with other people. Think you'd be up for it?"

"Yeah." Tony answered with a large smile. "I wanna see Uncle Steve."

"Great. Be up bright and early tomorrow then. We're going to have a picnic with them but don't ask Ms. Romanoff too many questions. Ok?"

"Ok." Tony vowed.

"Good. Make sure to wear good clothes tomorrow."

"Ok dad."

The older Stark quietly left the room and Tony suddenly turned to his bed and started jumping happily.

He was finally going to see his Uncle Steve. He was so happy that he didn't care if he was going to have to share his uncle with some lady.

He would just have to show her that he knew Uncle Steve first.
