Chapter 4 everyone!

*Steve POV*

We arrived at very lavish mansion once we had located Howard and Tony in the labs. The entire ride back was filled with Tony's complaints of how out dated everything was for science. To which I reminded him that we were in the 40's. When we all piled out of the limo we were greeted by a man in a suit.

"Jarvis!" Howard said clasping the man on the back, "Meet our new companions, and me future son!"

Jarvis looked towards Tony, whom Howard was pointing at wide eyed.

"Jarvis," Tony said coming up and hugging him, "It's been a long time, not counting your time as my AI."

"Very good Mr. Stark," Jarvis said very confused.

"Mr. Jarvis," Peggy said coming up to the front of the group, "Will you please show our guests to their rooms and make sure the maids get their sizes so they can get clothes that make them blend in."

"Of course Ms. Carter," Jarvis replied before briskly walking into the house with everyone struggling to keep up.

"British!" a woman's voice echoed through the house before said woman appeared at the foot of the stairs, "What is all that commotion?"

"Angie," Peggy said walking over to the other woman, "These people will be staying with us for a while."

"Is that?" Angie asked Peggy wide-eyed.

With Peggy's confirming nod Angie squealed and ran over to me.

"I have heard so many stories about you during the war," Angie said to me.

"Ok Angie," Peggy said coming up and starting to push the woman out the door, "Don't you have a job to go to?"

"We'll have to talk later then!" Angie said trying to stay in the house until Peggy finally pushed her all the way out the door.

"Mr. Jarvis," Peggy said leaning against the door, "If you will please continue."

Jarvis nodded and continued his fast placed walk up the stairs and down the hall. Assigning rooms was not difficult as Natasha and Banner planned to share one as well as me and Skye while everyone decided to bunk separately. As soon as Skye closed the door to our room I collapsed onto the bed.

Skye chuckled while walking over and laying down next to me, "How does it feel?"

"How does what feel?" I ask turning my head towards her.

"Being back in your original time?" she asked looking right back at me.

I looked back at the ceiling before replying, "Like when I woke up from the ice."

Skye looked puzzled.

"When I woke up from the ice I felt like I didn't belong there. That is until I started with the Avengers, then I felt I had a place in the world," I told her looking back at her, "And now that I am back, I feel like I don't belong here anymore. This time does not need a Captain America, but our time does."

"Like when I came out of the tunnels," Skye said, "I felt like I was in the wrong skin but now I wouldn't change a thing."

I smiled at her, "Good, because you are perfect the way you are."

She smiled and kissed my nose, "Now I am going to go take a shower because I think I brought all the dust from the city to the 40's."

I laughed and watched her go into the bathroom. I sat up and thought for a moment. When given the choice to go back to my present or not, I would. My life is there now, I have nothing here anymore, not even Peggy. This time does not need Captain America, but the world I now live in, it does. It needs the Avengers, which I am apart of now. And I also need Skye. I know she would stay with me if I chose to stay, which I couldn't have her do because we'd both be losing the only family we have. And what would we do here? There is no tech for Skye to use for a job, and life was hard for women during this time.

I must have been thinking about this for a long time because the next thing I know Skye is coming out of the bathroom in a fresh clothing that was in the closet.

"Is this really what people wore back in this time?" she asked looking down at herself.

I chuckled. She kind of looked ridiculous in the modern fashions of the day. The skirt that went down to a little below the knees, the blouse that was very roomy and conservative. It didn't fit her style at all.

"Don't laugh at me!" she yelled taking off one of her heels and throwing it at me with deadly accuracy.

I managed to dodge it and made my way over to her, dodging the other heel thrown my way. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"It just that this style does not suit you," I said giving her another once over.

"It's all very conservative," she agreed.

I leaned down for another kiss, "I am going to wash up and meet you downstairs for dinner."

"Ok," she replied making her way over to the door once I let her go.

I made my way into the shower and washed away the remnants of the battle with Ultron. When I exited out of the shower I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened the door to see Peggy sitting on the bed.

*Peggy POV*

After I freshened up in my room I made my way over to Steve's room. As I was about to knock on the door I stopped when I heard Steve's laughter and then a muffled voice. I stood outside the door trying to get a better read on who was in the room with Steve because the muffled voice definitely sounded female. Well, it could be one of three people really, either the red head, the brunette, or the witch. Well, the red head seemed to be draw closer to the older scientist and the archer. However I did see something between Steve and her. The witch did not seem to be close to Steve. But the brunette-

My thoughts were cut short when the door opened and I stood face to face with the brunette.

"Oh," she said, eyes going wide, "Hi Peggy."

"Hello," I replied awkwardly, "Is this Steve's room."

"Um, yes," she replied carefully.

"Then, if I may ask, what you are doing in there?"

She looked at me a little too defensively, "I was just borrowing Steve's shower since my roommate was hogging mine."

She was pretty close to convincing me of her lie, but I am a little better than she is.

"I see," I said, "Steve was always a gentleman."

She nodded and quickly made her way down the hall throwing a 'See you later' over her shoulder.

I in turn walked into Steve's room and sat down on the bed. It was a little time before I heard the shower turn off and a minute later, Steve walked out in just a towel. I blushed when I saw him.

"P-Peggy," he said blushing as well, "What are you doing here."

"Well, I thought you might have wanted to see me," I replied as I watched him make his way to the closet.

"Well, yes," he said picking out an outfit, "But I thought it would be better at dinner to talk."

"Oh, I see," I said getting up to leave.

"No, Peggy wait!" he said making me stop in my tracks, "I didn't mean it like that! It's just been a very long day between the battle and then coming back here. I do want…need to talk to you about stuff, but now is not the time."

I nod, "I will see you at dinner then,"

At that I make my way out of the room and down to the dining room where everyone else but Howard and Tony are waiting at the table to eat.

A little while later Steve walks in and goes to sit between the brunette and the red head. Following behind are both Starks who appear to be arguing.

"That will not work!" the younger Stark, Tony, yelled.

"I have tried it many times," Howard retaliated, "It has always worked for me! You must be doing it wrong!"

"I am not doing it wrong!" Tony yelled back, "Your notes were incomplete!"

"You were using my notes?" Howard asked softer.

Tony glared at Howard before going to sit down, Howard following closely behind.

It was pretty silent during dinner until Howard spoke up, "Why do you hate me so much?"

Tony was silent so Howard continued, "Do we do this in your time too?

Before Tony could answer Vision spoke up, "I must remind you Tony that giving away too much of the future can leave major consequences when we get back."

Tony nodded to Vision before looking back to Howard, "My existence was of little meaning to you when you were alive, wither leaving me with mom or the nanny, and I never got to know you that well before you died, leaving me with a company to run when I was eight. Making me deal with your idiotic choice in a Vice President of the company that tried to kill me and my girlfriend."

Everyone sat dumbfounded and silent in the dining room till Howard spoke up.

"I didn't realize," he said poking at his salad, "How-how did I die?"

"It was in an accident," Tony said looking down at his plate, "Mom was with you."

Steve cleared his throat, "Actually, it wasn't."

Tony looked up, "What do you mean it wasn't?"

"Well when I was on the run from compromised SHIELD, Natasha and I found out that Zola's brain was put into computers and that he survived all the way to 2015, coordinating Hydra attacks," Steve said looking at everyone, "One of these attacks was on Howard."

"And you are telling me this now?" Tony asked angrily, "The fall of SHIELD was about a year ago!"

"I never knew the right time to tell you because you never saw Howard as anything but someone you hated!"

"Yes but he was also the one to save my life!" Tony said standing up from the table ripping open his shirt, buttons flying, showing his arc reactor.

"What is that?" Howard asked.

"It's a miniature arc reactor, upgraded version," Tony said letting go of his shirt and falling back into his chair.

"Many years ago I was on a weapons release tour in the warzone overseas when my convoy was attacked. By my own weapons. Unfortunately I was too close to a bomb when it hit and sustained shrapnel to my chest that made its way into my blood stream. I woke up a couple of days later in a cave with another scientist and found this thing in my chest. It keeps me alive by keeping the shrapnel away from piercing my heart. I found out later that those people were hired to kidnap me by the Vice President of the company who was also secretly selling them my weapons as I sold them to U.S. troops. That's when I created my first Ironman suit and escaped. The I came home, found out what my VP did, defeated him, defended my creation against Congress, found out I wasn't the only one who could create what I did, found out the thing keeping me alive was also killing me, and almost accepted defeat. Then a video you made showed me how to create a new element that could be made before my time. It saved me and I defeated the bad guy, and made my girlfriend CEO of the company."

"You gave away the company!" Howard asked angrily.

"Not gave it away," Tony said, "I let her be CEO, I was dying and I have no heir to inherit the company so Pepper was the best choice."

Howard looked angrily at Tony.

At that moment Mr. Jarvis walked in, "Dessert anyone?"

Ok end of chapter 4. I decided to have Tony get his anger out of the way and the explanation of his story to his dad. Hoped you guys liked it!
