Hello there guys and welcome to the newest chapter. I've decided to try out a new format for this one. I've seen the interview format used a few times and it looks like fun so I'm trying it out. Let me know what you think. If this works I might do a social media and talk show AU fic for fun. I'll see you at the end. (Ps. I literally threw darts at a board to pick the talk show Steve is on.)
Jimmy Kimmel: "Hello everybody. Tonight we have a very special guest joining us. I've very excited to welcome on Captain America himself, Steven Stark-Rogers!"
Steve walks out waving to the cheering crowd. He shakes Jimmy's hand and takes a seat on the plush chair provided.
J: Welcome Mr. Stark-Rogers. It's a pleasure to finally have you on the show.
S: It's a pleasure to be here. I would have been on earlier but life is just insane.
J: Well I imagine so what with living with the Avengers and having kids.
S: Surprisingly it's the other Avengers that make all the trouble. Honestly, they're often more like kids then my actual kids.
J: How so?
S: Well the other day Clint climbed into the vents and dropped a pound of green glitter onto Bucky. Now Bucky's on the warpath and Sam's helping.
J: And I take it your kids are better behaved than that?
S: Absolutely. My son Nico is more than happy curling up somewhere and reading and Morgan can be found with Tony most of the time building something or another.
J: And you have three kids, correct? Steve nods Then how about your youngest?
S: Well Ivy's still little. The kind of trouble she gets into is more the kind of a toddler learning how the world works. You can't get mad when she'd just trying to learn. Most of the time it's just her making a mess because she hasn't got great hand-eye coordination yet. She'll get there.
J: And what's it like for you raising kids in this day and age? I imagine that it's quite different from when you were growing up.
S: It's definitely different, but it's so much better. Medical care alone is worth it. This is everything I could ever want. You know, there was a time when I was still this small guy from Brooklyn that I never even thought I'd have anything like this. Having a family and kids of my own had always been a sort of pipedream for me. But here I am now. I've got the world's best husband and three amazing kids.
J: Well it sounds like things have been pretty good for you once they pulled you from the ice back in 2011.
S: It has. It was a shock at first but then I found a new life. A better life. Everything's perfect as it is.
J: Perfect? Come on. There's gotta be something that annoys you?
S: Alright, there is and it's kinda funny actually. My husband and kids all speak Italian and I just haven't been able to pick it up yet. One of them will start talking and soon enough all four of them are going off and I'm just left there lost.
J: Italian? Really?
S: Well Tony's half Italian and grew up speaking the language at home. He wanted the kid to learn it too. And, despite my best efforts, I'm still struggling a bit. The only Italian I've managed to actually pick up has been military stuff and swearwords.
J: And how are your kids if you don't mind me asking?
S: Not at all, the kids are great. Nico and Morgan are both in school now. Nico's going strong with his art classes and Morgan is enjoying kindergarten. Ivy has finally mastered the skill of walking and now wants to walk everywhere herself.
J: Well it sounds like you certainly have great kids.
S: Thank you. And they really are great. My older two, they're so helpful and kind. I couldn't ask for better kids. They help out with Ivy and make her smile after doctors' appointments and they were such a big help when Tony was still down after his heart surgery. Nicola especially. He told me he wants to be a heart doctor when he grows up.
J: That's just adorable. And your middle daughter, what does she want to be?
S: Tony and I are pretty sure that she'll follow in Tony's footsteps career-wise. Morgan already loved working on cars with Tony or doing math problems for fun. She's a smart kid. They all are. They're going to do great things just you watch.
J: So how are things with the Avengers? I've heard there's going to be some changes coming soon.
S: Well, with some of the original members getting older and starting families there's obviously going to be some changes. We have some new heroes about to join in the mix that will be announced soon. And as for me, I'm a few months out from retiring. Sam's doing a great job and it's about time I step back from active field duty so I can spend time with my family.
J: Well I'm sure that the Avengers are in good hands. I can't wait to see what you all do next. Let's just hope it's better than that weird dancing video that Thor and Barton did a few months ago.
S: Hopefully. Those two were on dishes duty for a month after that incident.
J: Well I can certainly say that I will never be able to get the sight of pink sparkly panties out of my head. And not in a good way.
The audience and Steve laughed as they all remembered the horrible video.
J: Well thank you Mr. Stark-Rogers. It was a treat having you on.
S: It was a pleasure being here.
J: Up next we have a performance from musical guest Hozier! Stay tuned!

The Stark-Rogers kids. Where are they now?
Nicola Joseph Stark-Rogers ended up going to Harvard Medical and graduated top of his class. He became a world-renowned heart surgeon and helped people with unique heart problems because he never wanted to see people get sick like his mom and little sister did. He spent a lot of time in war zones helping remove shrapnel and giving people a better quality of life. Tony and Steve are very proud of their little boy.
Morgan Hayley Stark-Rogers ended up inheriting Tony's love for robotics and mathematics. She graduated early from MIT with a doctorate in mechanical engineering. She quickly made a name for herself and is now the head of RnD at Stark Industries. Morgan and Tony still enjoy working on old cars together.
Ivy Maria Stark-Rogers became an Avenger despite her parent's worries. She refused to let the illnesses she was born with define her. So, with Morgan's help, the two essentially made a special Iron Man-like suit that had speech to text and built-in hearing aids to help with the hearing problems, a built-in inhaler, and many other health monitors. Ivy's suit is green and gold and she goes by the name Iron Ivy on the field. Tony and Steve worry about her. Not because of her illnesses but because Ivy inherited Tony's bullheadedness and inability to follow orders while on a mission.
Peter Parker graduated from MIT with a doctorate in Bioengineering. He now works in a new branch of SI for bionic tech as well as being a fulltime Avengers. Ned joined in to help run tech as Peter's "guy in the chair". Peter also got married to MJ and they had a baby boy they named Benjamin Anthony. Tony cried hearing that.
Well, guys, there's one more little extra chapter after this one. I hope you like it. Also, let me know how you felt about the formatting for this one. I thought it would be fun to experiment. Nothing like trying something new while blasting Queen in my room. I'll see you all shortly. -Shadows.
