They all just assumed. It all started when they stopped trusting each other.

It wasn't until he was three that he realized he was different and no one else could see the wings.

Howard has done more to Tony than anyone knows, except Tony himself. He's tampered with Tony's genes, right down to what makes him human. Until he isn't anymore.

Nobody really knows the truth behind Clint & Tasha's relationship or how deep that relationship goes, except for Coulson who is now dead. But the two former SHIELD agents are feeling sentimental & are willing to trust their new team mates with the biggest secret they've kept for years. It's not something the Avengers are expecting either. R&R. Trying to keep all in character.

Challenge: Tony Stark was a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and an Avengers. Ashton Carter was a student to Charles Xavier-he was a mutant. Twenty years ago, Tony walked out, and he never looked back. Sometimes, you don't have to turn around, when fate just throws something three inches infront of your face...just peachy. Warning- There's X-men in here...

Avengers 2012! Clint/Coulson. Tony has Steve. Natasha has Pepper. But Clint needs someone, Tony's determined to make it so. Unless, of course, Clint doesn't need someone. Implying he already has someone. Too bad no one told Tony.
