A/N: This is based off movies, not the comics. Any coincidental comic facts are by accident. This is not intended to be considered canon in any way, shape, or form. It was written because I had way to much on my mind. Just enjoy it for being a story. It says move/comic crossover because Iron Man is not listed as a movie (God only knows why) NOT BECAUSE THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE COMIC. Also, I am not saying if this is slash or not. You decide. And if you don't like this story because of that, then STOP READING. The only arm I am twisting is my own, to get all my updates done in a timely manner.


Steve Rogers was happy.

It was an odd thing, Steve reflected, it almost felt like he'd been reborn, kicking, yelling and trying to figure out what the hell was going on with Tony Stark, but at the end of it, he was feeling alive.

That was how he felt when Coulson showed up in his room on the 4th of July and informed him that he couldn't say no. He was given a new outfit to wear and driven to a home that even he remembered as being affluent. "This is Riverdale," he said to Coulson.

"Yes, it is," Coulson replied quietly as the car pulled up to a gated home.

"What are we doing here?" Steve asked as they rolled up the driveway.

"I think Stark can explain it better," Coulson replied.

Tony was waiting for them at the door to the mansion with his best 'aren't I a clever asshole' smirk in place. Behind him was the woman Steve remembered as being Ms. Potts, the CEO of Tony's company. "Welcome to Stark Mansion," Tony said when Steve got out, "come inside, I want to show you something."

Even Steve had to admit that the giant house was impressive. Even with what Tony claimed was a five year, on going renovation project. He was introduced to JEEVES, Tony's house AI, who Tony also called the 'Son of Jarvis'.

It was noon when they finished the whirlwind tour and entered the back yard. A back yard was filled with people he'd met at SHIELD, including the Avengers front and center. All of whom shouted in gleeful chaos "Happy Birthday Steve!"

As the city's 4th of July fireworks began, Steve realized that for the first time since he'd woke up from his frozen sleep he didn't feel like he was going through the motions of life, he just felt like Steve and not Captain America. The fact that Tony gave him an impressive amount of art supplies and offered to pose if Steve needed a model just helped him feel so much better about how things were going. Even with Ms. Potts (call me Pepper) slapping Tony's arm with an outraged "Tony!" when he winked at Steve.

Steve Rogers was happy because for one day nobody asked him to be Captain America for any reason.
