Tony had been avoiding this for years. He never wanted to be in this house again. In fact, he hadn't since the funeral. But Pepper had convinced him that it wasn't doing anyone any good just sitting there. He stood in the living room, running his hand over the piano his mother once played.

He sighed and walked past the pictures on the wall of the three of them. His father hadn't been a bad man, he was just…absent. His mother adored him though, and so did Tony. He walked down into the basement and looked at all the boxes. God, he did not want to do this. He heard a hum coming from somewhere, but he didn't know where. He never came down here much when he was younger. He walked around, waiting for the hum to get louder. Once he found where it was coming from, he ran his hand over the walls until he found a button. Part of the wall opened to reveal a door.

"Yay, secret door." He mumbled to himself. He tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. He placed his hand on it and heard a female voice. It sounded vaguely like his mothers. "Voice activation required for entry." The voice told him. He frowned. How was he supposed to get into a room he never even knew about? What the hell. He could always try and hack it if it didn't work.

"Anthony Edward Stark." He said.

"He heard the door click. "Voice activation approved. Welcome Mr. Stark." Tony made a 'huh' sound and stepped in. The lights flickered on and he saw various boxes with papers in them. What really intrigued him was the giant case up against the wall. He walked over to it and blew dust over the front of it. There was a countdown to 2011 on it. It was 2008 now. He tried looking in the little window, but it was frosted over, he couldn't see anything.

"What the hell." He whispered. As if the walls heard him, he saw a screen pop up on the wall and his dad's face came into view.

"Hey Tony. If you're watching this video, that probably means that I'm no longer with you. I'm sorry for that. I should have done better, for you and for your mother." Howard's voice told him. Tony's breath caught in his throat and he sat down in the chair by the desk. "I'm leaving this to you because I know you will take care of it. I can't tell you much but know that there is someone in that chamber." Tony's mouth dropped as he glanced behind him. That was just fucking creepy.

"She's very special Tony. I'll let her explain everything to you when she wakes up, but just know that she can help you. She needs to come out in 2011. The chamber should release her on it's on but just in case it doesn't, you know. Keep her safe Tony. I'm trusting you with this." The video ended and Tony turned back around to look at the chamber. There was someone in there. Who the hell was it?

Fuzzy. That's how you felt. You wiggled your fingers a bit, letting out a soft him. You heard a whooshing noise, and you furrowed your brows, trying to figure out where it was coming from.

The Chamber. You were awake.

You opened your eyes and watched the door of the chamber open, a bright fluorescent light flooding in, blinding you. The feeling in your body was slowly coming back to you, now being able to move your arms and wiggle your legs. You stepped out and looked around you. It looked like a lab of some kind. "Oh, please don't tell me Hydra fucking got me." You said.

"Miss?" You heard someone say. You looked around and didn't see anyone.

"Uh…hello?"

"Yes? Miss Montgomery? My name is Jarvis, I am Tony Starks Artificial Intelligence system." You let out a sigh of relief. Okay. You were at the tower. Tony had you.

"I've let sir know you're awake and he's on his way down."

Tony was in his workshop when Jarvis alerted him. "Sir, Miss Montgomery has awoken from the chamber. She is almost completely thawed out, and I will inform her that you are on your way sir."

"Thanks J. I'll be right down." Tony was nervous. He didn't know what to expect. Howard hadn't left much of a file of this girl, only that she had powers and she fought alongside Captain America in 1943.

You looked around, trying to see anything outside. It looked like you were underground. You heard a door beep and open and you spun around, seeing Tony Stark himself. "Are you Allison Montgomery?" He "asked. You nodded. "Tony?"

"How do you know who I am?" He asked you. You chuckled and looked down. "That's a long story, which I will of course tell you, but first, can I see some sun and get a water maybe? My mouth is dryer than the Sahara and it feels like I smoked 87 packs of cigarettes." Tony laughed and nodded, leading you out of the room. He took you up to the penthouse, and you took in a breath in how beautiful it was. Tony handed you a water bottle and you followed him out onto the balcony, letting the sun beam down on you.

You smiled, opening you eyes to take in the view. "This view is amazing." You told him.

"I know." You rolled your eyes. God he was just like Howard.

"So, are you gonna tell me who you are, and how you knew my dad, and how you got here?" He asked. You sighed and nodded, leading him over to the couch. "Sit down. This is gonna take a while."

Tony's mouth hung open for most of the time you spoke. You told him the basics, where you were from, how they weren't real, your powers, and how you knew things and no you wouldn't tell him everything. Which earned a puppy dog look from him.

"That's crazy, but then again, dad always believed in the crazy. Speaking of. He left a message for you. I haven't watched it, said it would only be for you."

Tony pulled up a screen and you heard a female voice. "Voice activation required."

"Uh…Allison Montgomery."

"Accepted." Howards face popped up and you smiled. He looked much older in this, much like he did in the movies.

"Hey Ally. If you're watching this, that means that I'm not here anymore. Then again, you probably know that don't you?" He said, earning you a side glance from Tony. "I really wanted to be there when you woke up kid, I'm sorry I'm not. But I left you in the best capable hands I could think of. You were right. I have an amazing family. I may not have been the best dad I could have been, but I love Tony so much, and I want you to promise you'll watch out for him. He tends to get into trouble." You chuckled, wiping a tear from your face. "Stay safe and save the world."

The video ended. You sniffled and looked back at Tony. "I didn't know you were so close with my old man." He said, looking down. You sighed. "Look Tony, I know you had a rough relationship with your dad but trust me when I say that he loved you Tony. So much."

"Well, I guess I believe you, it's not like I have much else to do to anyway." You rolled your eyes and wondered just where in the timeline you were. "Has Phil Coulson dropped off information on the Avengers to you by chance?" You asked, looking over at Tony.

He squinted his eyes at you, tilting his head. "Last night actually, and I'm supposed to be heading out now, to find Loki." Cool, then you were right on schedule. You had wished you had woken up sooner though, and had more time with Steve, to even be there when he woke up, you remember how disorienting it had been for him. "You're taking this remarkably well. I would have figured you'd give much more resistance." Tony smirked. "Well, me being me, seeing what I've seen, nothing really freaks me out anymore." He said. Oh, that's where you're wrong Iron Man.

"Alright, I'm going with you, but first, do you have anything I can wear? I also need a shower; I haven't had one since like 1945." You said laughing. Tony side stepped away from you and pointed to the stairs.

After your shower, which was amazing by the way, you forgot how much you loved modern showers, you put on some of Peppers clothes Tony had gotten out for you. There were some jeans and a black t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. You pulled on your boots and shook the rest of the water out of your hair.

You met Tony back out in the living room, and you saw a jet out on the pad. "You ready to go?" He asked. You nodded, following him outside.

You hated planes, you always had. Making sure you were buckled in; you closed your eyes and took a big breath.

"So, tell me about all the great things I'm gonna do." He asked you.

"No."

"Tell me about the awesome suits I'm gonna create."

"No Tony."

"How about Pepper? We get married? Have kids? Are they smart like me?"

"TONY!" You yelled. Oh my God. He's just like Howard.

"Alright, alright. Sorry. Just tell me one thing. Please." You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose. "If you do not speak for the rest of this flight, I will tell you something after." You glanced at him and he looked like a five-year-old at Christmas. He even made a pretend zipper on his mouth, signaling that he was done. You smiled and turned back facing front.

You were getting close to were Loki was and Tony was getting up, ready to put his suit on. "So, here's what were gonna do, I'm gonna fly out, and this jet is gonna turn around and take you to Nick Fury on the Heli carrier. You can wait for me there." You rolled your eyes.

"Really Tony, I can fight." You told him. "That may be the case kid, but right now I don't know anything about your powers, and I have to protect you okay?" You sighed and nodded. "Anything useful you can tell me now?" He asked.

You smirked. "Don't let Thor put his hammer down." Tony tilted his head, put his faceplate up and jumped out of the jet and it turned around, making it's way to the Helicarrier. You wondered if Fury would lock you up once he saw you, or if Tony told him you were coming. Either way, you were going to have to tell your story several more times before this night was over, and you were already tired.
