A/N: Hey there readers! I know that it has been a long time since I updated the book and that no reason I give can justify it but... I wanted to know everyone's opinions on how I should continue the book and last year of high school is hectic. (I mean, my exams are going on right now but I got an idea so... I wrote it down.)

Just a short note of warning though. This story is mostly narration of what happened, except a few scenes which will be flash backs. In the future, maybe I will make a book of a detailed version of the flashbacks but due to my situation, I've stuck with the narration cum flashback, which might be shorter but I hope it is up to what you expected of the story. But I won't leave any details, just a modified version of it due to the lack of time. On with the story!

As soon as everyone was settled, Tony started off. "What do you remember as of now?" he asked. "Nothing much, our first meeting and then some flashes here and there, how you... died" Steve said.

"Well, that's good actually, maybe you will recollect as I narrate." Tony said. "From where are you going to start?" Bucky asked curiously, fiddling with the ring on his hand. "From when I woke up." Tony said and started narrating.

FLASHBACK

Tony had just woken up since falling unconscious after going to the past. "Ugh! Were am I?" he rasped. "Brooklyn, at our home. Here, have this." Steve said and passed a cup of water. "Thanks, I am Tony and you are?" he asked, taking in the two of them, trying to maintain his calm after seeing the stick like Steve and a metal arm less Bucky. 'Shit, I am really in the 40s' he thought as he looked around.

"Bucky and Steve. Where are you from? What happened?" Bucky asked, kicking off the wall he was leaning on to face Tony. "I'm just from somewhere around here, got into a scuffle in the ally." Tony said vaguely, not wanting to reveal anything from the future.

"Those wounds definitely didn't look like they are from an ordinary scuffle." Steve said but dropped the subject. "What was that thing on your chest?" Bucky asked quietly.

"Was experimented on, pretty advanced tech though. If by any chance anything happens to me, destroy it before anyone gets their hands on it." Tony said seriously.

"You have any place to stay?" Steve asked. "Um... nowhere, just got thrown out of my place recently. Though, I am a good mechanic, I can fix up things here and there." Tony said, hoping that Steve would allow him to stay there. "Well then... I guess you could stay over here for a while..." Steve said after some pondering.

"What! Are you crazy? We are barely paying the rent and we have just enough for the two of us with all the medicines you need and ? Bringing in someone else..." Bucky protested. "Don't worry, I will be able to pay up by fixing up things." Tony reassured. Bucky looked a bit hesitant but allowed him to stay over.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Yeah, you started fixing around things at the factory and neighbouring houses while taking up all the expenses mostly over your own head. Bucky used to berate you over that a lot for that before he got drafted to the army two weeks later." Steve said.

"Yeah, it was kind of unnerving to see my dad all enthusiastic over making a flying car when he was obsessed over weapons later on. And then you had to go and enlist, dragging me along with you to fix up whatever was needed for the army just because I had to make sure you don't get killed." Tony said, annoyed.

"Don't forget the romancing you did in between. Oh, don't look at me like that, I know that you were romancing each other when I was drafted to the 107th." Bucky said, rolling his eyes.

"It was weird to see Aunt Peggy so young and active after seeing her old and vulnerable for a long time. Remember that time where that one guy tried to go for a duel with me even after she said that time was up?" Tony asked with a laugh.

"Yeah! That poor man couldn't even walk the next day with the punishment she dealt out to him for disobeying rules and trying to go against her when he refused to allow him for a duel" Steve said, remembering that day.

"Yeah, you guys had your own alone time without me." Bucky grumbled. "Yeah, most of it spent from treating wounds and getting ready for getting experimented on." Steve said, rolling his eyes.

"You know, Tony always used to say half truths now that I notice it. The arc reactor was an experiment, he was caught in a scuffle when he landed in the past, the time when he said he was a distant relative of Howard he never knew of..." Steve said.

"Yeah, he never used to reveal anything about the future, still likes to be prepared and gave out discreet clues always. Like the time he was absolutely sure that Steve will join the army and said that I will not regret that he joined and will definitely be surprised you know, and it happened just as he said." Bucky said.

"So... what else do you want to hear next?" Tony asked. "The day when I got the serum. It is a little bit fuzzy right now, though I am starting to remember things." Steve said.

"Alright then. Here it goes. I'll actually start from two days before that, just to rile Bucky up." Tony said and started the narration.

FLASHBACK

So... it was a break from training for Steve surprisingly as he was quite beat up the day before from cold so we on bed lying side by side and Steve then looked into my eyes and said "Do it."...

A/N: So... that is quite a short chapter and I would've continued on but... this was a fun way to leave it. What do you think follows next? Some good old mature thing or something else? I'll leave you guessing until next time. Hope you all like this late chapter... and this type of narration.

All comments and criticisms accepted and appreciated! What and all scenes would you like me to do as a flashback? Comment below!
