–Ending of Sokovia Accord–

The last four words she said were, "Protect them all, Alex," I stayed there in the same spot begging your aunt to take another breath for three weeks until I was rescued. When I got home, I sent your cousins to different areas to be protected. I faked all their deaths so that I knew they were safe. I had to make sure it looked like I killed them so that anyone associated with me would be safe because they hated me."

–The Secrets Part I–

Tony's POV

I can't believe I accused him of this for decades, how does he still love me. I'm sorry Uncle, I don't know how to apologize for the last 34 years. Wait, is he hugging me? "Tony, I don't blame you ok. I chose to go through all that to protect you, and the rest of the family. I will say that you are blind, but only because you wouldn't want to see it." What are you talking about? I have no clue what I missed. "I said I never killed your aunt, but your cousins you never realized were never actually dead. I faked their deaths to protect them." Wait, that means that John, Eddie, and Lizzie are alive then. Are they alive? "I'll give you a hint by saying this, Steve Rogers, you and I will be having a long talk!"

Steve's POV

Wow, I can't believe he would take everyone hating him to protect them. "Steve Rogers, you and I will be having a long talk," Wait why, and why would he leave out Captain? Excuse me sir, but it's Captain. And why are we talking? "Steve, are you sure you want to pull rank?" Does he think that a director of a foreign agency would outrank me on American soil? "Capicle, Don't try to pull rank on my uncle. I've learned he always wins." What does Stark know? Sorry, Director Rider, but it's Captain. "My nephew warned you captain but, ok. Jack, please call the White House's Speaker." Who's Jack? "Yes, sir calling the White House." Oh, it's his version of Friday. "Uncle Cub, You copy Jarvis?" "Actually when I taught you how to make an A.I, I was basing it off of Jack, Anthony. So you copied Jack to make Jarvis."

Phone Call

Hello, this is Emily Rhodes, how can I help you?

Hello, this is Alex Rider, I was wondering if you can connect me to the president?

Sorry Mr. Rider, but the president is currently occupied. Can you leave me a message to pass on?

Sorry, Ms. Rhodes, is he currently in the PEOC?

Excuse me but the PEOC is just a rumor, currently, the president is occupied in a meeting. If you can hold for a moment, another department might be able to help you.

Ms. Rhodes, there is no need to pass me to the secret service cause I know information. Tell the secret service agents to check these credentials. This Alexander John Rider, MI6. Clearance level in the United States is Cosmic- Priority one. Interpol ID J3I-LBN. Code name: Devil Spawn, Cub, Orion, The compensator. Codeword: Cubkins.

I am so sorry Director Rider, yes the President is in the PEOC right now. Do you have a secure phone number so I can patch you into them?

Don't worry Ms. Rhodes, just push 3-6-0-1-8 on your phone.

Yes, sir, and again apologies for the rudeness.

No, worries.

"Jack, turn on the camera please!"

Figure out who is joining in unchecked! Mr. President, we have a hacker joining into the Peoc, it might be best if we move you to an area that won't be seen.

Ok, Admiral Chernow, Disconnect from this Hacker now!

Tom, after all, I went through to talk to you?

Admiral Chernow cancels my order to disconnect. Alex, it's nice to talk to you again!

It's nice to hear your voice! Hang on, I'm turning on my camera. There we go, how are Penny and Leo doing?

Well, Penny decided she loves horses, and Leo is studying Politics at Stanford. If Alex was alive I would be on the couch! How are your kids? Penny has been wondering when Benjamin and Natalie will visit, and she said she needs to ask auntie Nat about something.

"What, Natasha, you're married? And to my uncle no less? And have kids?"

"Yes, Stark, just so you know that means I'm your aunt."

"Both of you be quiet for a minute."

Sorry about that Alex!

It's fine, They are all fine. I called Elizabeth's boyfriend.

Oh, thank god I have a few more years before Penny will date! What do you need?

" Excuse me Mr. President, but this man doesn't have the clearance to be here in this meeting."

Admiral Chernow, Stand down. That is the reason why I called. Captain Rogers, criticized me for not calling him Captain for Barrel Talk. He believes that The Director of a foreign intelligence agency is outranked by him being a Captain of this country.

Well, Captain Rogers please stand in front of the camera.

Yes, Sir?

In normal circumstances, you would be right about Director Riders Rank in comparison to yours. However, Director Rider is also the oversight of the World Security Council of the UN, and another rank he also has is being a six-star General of the United States. Now before anyone says there is no Six star General, there is, however, General Rider is the only one to ever hold this position in the United States. Everyone answers to a Six Star General Except the President and Vice-President, congress, and supreme court. All five-star Generals and under, plus directors of all US agencies would report to him should he want. So, in this case not only does he outrank you, but he can unilaterally strip your rank and dishonorably discharge you. Take my advice talk to him without ranks if he lets you.

Yes, Sir, Thank you, Sir.

Thanks, Tom I'll talk to you at a different time?

I can't wait, Alex, I'll see you later.

You too bye!
