AN: All the italic's in this chapter are Tony's.

A warning to everyone that there may 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.

If there is an attack on Times Square tomorrow then he should try to help any way he can, saying that it would make it safer if he has his suit on at the time. With all his scanning technology in the suit he would be able to see trouble before any normal person. Things like heat signatures that are well over what a normal human would register at. Tony really hoped that the chuitari attack hadn't knocked out any censers; the suit itself was a proto type and had proven very handy in the chuitari incident. Tony hoped it could help with tomorrow.

The night had been long for Tony as he ran around fixing the ironman suit so that it would be in full operating parameters. Yes it was harder considering that the technology he had to work with was Stone Age in comparison to what he was used to. At least he had JARVIS to help with the calculation and help run the scans to see where the problems are that Tony needed to fix himself.

It really didn't help that he still had to put up with both Steve and his father watch every move he made, it was really starting to erk him something shocking. Yes he was Howard's son from the future but you think that they would have gotten over it by now, hell Tony had hardly blinked when Fury had told him that they had found and thawed out Captain America. That was just part of his life to expect the unexpected.

As the sun went down Tony was still trying to get all the alien blood and gunk out of the gaps in his suit. The horrible substance was slightly acidic causing more damages to wirers and also the titanium gold alloy. The suit really needed to either be scraped completely or worked on for a week or two due to the damage done by the chuitari. The worked continued till after midnight leaving Tony alone in the lab as both Steve and Howard retired to bed.

Finally it was starting to get hard for Tony to concentrate on what he was working on so he put down his tools with a sigh. He looked over to the clock and realized that it past 3 am in the morning way past when he wanted to go to bed. Normally he would be happy having little sleep but he was still healing from his injuries he had sustained earlier in the week. He stood up, stretched and turned the lights off as he left the lab heading for his bed.

Surprisingly he fell asleep easily and didn't wake up during the night due to nightmares. It had started after escaping from that cave in Afghanistan and increased since his dealings with both Stane and Vanko. The only thing that seemed to help lately was having Pepper by his side at night; she seemed to bring him out of it and calm him down afterwards. So when he went a whole 5 hours without having a single nightmare he considered it a great step forward to getting over it on the other hand maybe he was still tired from the injures that he had sustained.

Waking up Tony got dressed and headed down to the kitchen; he knew that he was probably the last one up but he did go to sleep last so he was surprised when Howard was nowhere to be seen as he sat down at the kitchen table. Steve was there like usually with his sketch book out in front of him, it looked like he was drawing something so Tony didn't bother to greet him as he looked too into what he was drawing to notice Tony anyway. Eager to eat something so he could finish working on the suit Tony quickly ate a few slices of toast and gulped down some coffee, grimacing at the taste. He wished that he had his coffee, the one flown in from Italy that he seemed to function on. Filling up the cup again he passed Steve who was still drawing, Tony snuck a peek and he was surprised to see it was a picture of his Iron Man suit.

Tony was too stunned about how well the drawing looked like it that he missed Howard walking up behind him. Feeling the presence of someone behind him Tony spun around with his hands up as he was intent on defending himself from any harm; he lowered them when he realized it was just his father standing there. Feeling the heat rise in his face he nodded his head in greeting and took off to the lab intent on burying himself in the work as he tried to forget the embarrassment. He really hated it when people sneak up on him; even Rodey never sneaks up on him now for fear of Tony going ape shit on him.

It happened before right after he had returned from Afghanistan; Rodey had entered Tony workshop. Tony had not seen or heard him walking up behind him while he was fiddling with one of the hand repulsers. It didn't end well the only good thing was that no one had to be admitted to hospital but it was a close thing as the repulser had been fired straight at Rodey's face. But being trained to expect anything Rodey had managed to duck in time as the blast flew over his head and straight into DUMMY. The poor robot had to be fixed only after Tony had been calmed down as he had been awake for almost 6 days straight.

Escaping down to lab for piece didn't last long as he was sure that the other two would be down to watch him again. He really hoped that he didn't have to put up with Steve and his disappointed scowl that always seemed to pop up. Shaking his head he asked JARVIS to set an alarm to warn him when it approached 3 pm that way he had enough time to get to Time square and scan the environment looking for the threat that the Cornel had told them about. With the alarm set Tony set to work on what he was trying to finish fixing the suit last night and add one or two improvements that he would possibly need.

The time went fast as he continued to work on his suit, he knew that Howard had joined him in the lab; at least he hadn't mentioned his earlier outburst. Hopefully his father never would, nor hopefully would Steve if he had actually noticed at all. If Steve mentioned it then Tony would simply try and dismiss it like he usually did. Tony was just fixing the last wires in place as his phone sounded out its alarm signalling that it was 3pm and that Tony needed to head over to Times Square, he didn't know whether or not the other two were going to go with him but he needed a ride so now doubt Howard would go with him.

The only problem with this Iron Man suit was that it didn't fold up into a nice suitcase size, meaning that Tony would either have to wear it there or put it on at Time Square. Either way he was going to draw attention to it, he just hoped that he didn't get mistaken for the bad guy's. Yes his suit could take a few bullets but still it could be damaged by enough fire power. Hopefully he would never find out here. Making sure that he had done everything that he set out to fix and add he turned to his father and asked for a lift.

"So you're thinking of going there in that?" Howard asked pointing at his Iron Man suit.

"Yeah I am as it is more than just a piece of armour." Tony replied.

"I still can't get over the fact that something like that is not only made in the future but it is my son that made it." Howard said walking over and running his hand down the metal leg.

"So where's the captain?" Tony asked trying to divert the topic away from his suit.

"Last time I saw him he was of for his run but I think he said something about meeting us at Time's square. Though why he's going I don't know, the Colonel hasn't taken a shine to him." Howard sighed.

"What the great Captain America is not universally loved?" Tony snorted.

"Is that so hard to believe? Before he was shot up with the super solider serum he was a skinny kid from Brooklyn that had so many medical problems he couldn't get enlisted. Steve was not the one that the colonel would have chosen but he was over ruled. Unfortunately the secret to the serum was lost to us, so Steve is one of a kind, for that the Colonel is a little bit bitter as he wanted a whole army of super soldiers." Howard explained.

Tony took a moment to let that information sink in as made sure that everything was connected on his suit. Pocketing his phone he moved over to the head of the suit, looking over to his father he motioned to him to pick up the feet of the suit. Complying with the request Howard and Tony lifted the suit heading towards the front of the house. It was a struggle to put the suit in the back of Howard's car as the suit was all locked at the joints so that it wouldn't fall apart as it was moved. As the two of them got in to the car and cover it with a sheet to stop anyone seeing it, they set off to Times Square at a slow pace. God what I wouldn't do to have my Audi here!

As the streets streamed by Tony's window he couldn't help but think that the city still looked the same in the future except for the larger glass skyscrapers that have been constructed since this time. Tony had the opportunity to see where the STARK TOWER was going to be built, from the looks of it the neighbourhood consisted of a combination of houses and stores. He wondered if he destroyed people's lives when he bought that land to build on, when he got back he was going to find out if he did or not. They didn't have far to travel as Times Square was close enough to see, so Tony pulled out his phone to upload JARVIS into it as he had a feeling that the AI would be able to help him with the situation.

With JARVIS loaded Tony was completely compared for anything that they may face at Time Square. Howard pulled the car up in an ally of the side so no one would see the suit just yet; checking the time Tony saw that they had an hour till the treat was supposably ment to start. Considering that there was still no word from the Colonel, Tony had to assume that they still had no idea of what that threat may contain. Tony got out of the car and headed to the end of the ally to look around trying to spot Steve, but there was no sign of the super solider yet.

AN: Hello to all you reader's out there! Only 3 more months till I go on my trip to Rome! Completely looking forward to traveling on a ship again but by then this fic should be finished and posted by then. Please review and I shall see you next time.

Mushushy.
