So I had to repost the first two chapters due to the overuse of 'd' as 'the'. Enjoy!
Tony was sitting on a couch holding a glass of whiskey. It was late at night. Tony couldn't sleep. He was worried. Besides the X-Men and professor Xavier, no one knew about his mutation, his powers. Of course Pepper and Rhodey knew about it since they first met, but The Avengers, the others knew him as Tony Stark, the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. He knew the world wouldn't accept him, he was a freak.
The first time he used his powers, he was four. He was sitting by the table, trying to finish the circuit board his father gave him as a task. He felt the sudden icy feeling in his body and the next thing he knew, the room was covered in ice. When Howard Stark opened the door, he was shocked to see the ice all over the room and the icy blue light on Tony's palm. It was just then when Howard realised his son's mutation. From that day onwards, Tony was home schooled to keep his mutation a secret. Howard never called Tony by his name anymore, he would simply call him 'freak'.
When Tony was 10, a bald man in a wheelchair paid a visit. Howard was so glad to see the man and ordered Tony to pack his stuffs as Tony will be leaving with the man. Tony was shocked but did as he was told. He didn't want anymore beatings from his abusive father. When he was packing his clothes with his mother, Maria, the man came to his room.
"Hello Anthony. I'm professor Xavier." His lips didn't moved but Tony could hear him.
"How did you do that? I can hear you but how?"
"I'm a mutant, Anthony, Just like you. I can read and interact with people's mind. Anthony, you are gifted, one of the most gifted actually. I have a school for the gifted and I would like to invite you to come and live with us."
"What? There are other people like me? B-but I.." Before Tony could finish his, Xavier had read his thoughts. "Don't worry my boy. We mutants treat each other as a family. You will be fine with us. Your father had even approved your stay with us."
Tony finally smiled a little. That day, Tony finally get to leave his abusive father and the house that is full of unhappy memories. His life had changed forever.
Tony learned how to control his powers and to use them for good. He met the rest of the X-men there. Scott or more known as Cyclops, Jean and Storm. They were one of the professor's first students. Until the age of 21, he took over Stark industries after his parents' death. He decided to keep his mutation a secret. He didn't want to let the people know about their existence. It would be a danger to all mutants. From time to time, he would be called to join the X-Men in their mission, so Prestige was born. Mutants have a tradition of giving themselves a nickname to protect their identity. Tony was a perfectionist, he was great and precise in everything he does so he went with the name-Prestige.
Tony's double life continued until the kidnap in Afghanistan by the Ten Rings. His own missile was fired right beside him and left some shrapnel in his body crawling into his heart. Then came Yinsen who build an electromagnet in Tony's chest to pull the shrapnel from puncturing his heart. Tony was tortured and forced to build them a missile of mass destruction. He refused to build the missile and build himself his first iron man suit to escape their captivity. Unfortunately, Yinsen died saving his life. Tony was then found and brought home.
After he had his American Cheese Burger, he held a press and declared that he will shut down Stark Industries' Weapons Manufacturing Department. He then upgraded his iron man suit and saved millions of lives at Middle East countries. He realised his god father- Obadiah Stane's betrayal and he was the one who ordered Tony's capture. After defeating Obadiah, he revealed his identity at a press in the typical Tony Stark quote:" I'm IronMan."
Something unexpected happened. The arc reacted in Tony's chest is slowly poisoning him with it's palladium core. The only thing that is keeping him alive is also killing him. He tried to create a cure but couldn't find the suitable element to replace the palladium core. Until Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD came and help him in creating a new element which he then called as Starkanium. After defeating Whiplash, he was hired as a consultant for the Avengers Initiative.
A few months later, Tony finished building the Stark Tower. The whole tower was powered by pure energy from an arc reactor that Tony installed. Then came Loki and his "army" of Chitauri. Tony was forced to work with a bunch of superhero: CAPTAIN AMERICA the first avenger; THOR the god of thunder; HULK the green gamma monster; BLACKWIDOW the great Russian assassin; HAWKEYE the archer that never misses. "We're not heroes, we're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're a time bomb. " I guess Banner was right. The first time they assembled, the whole SHIELD hellicarrier had almost fell onto the water and agent Phil Coulson died after Loki's scepter pierce through his heart. Those were d result of them fighting each other. But they managed to pull themselves together to work with each other and stopped Loki's plan of invasion.
After they had Shwarma, Tony finally trusted the Avengers and let them move into the AvengersTower which was originally known as StarkTower. Tony and Bruce, the Science Bros would lock themselves up in the lab to play with their "toys". Tony would drink with Natasha every weeknight. It's surprising that they could find comfort in each other. Tony and Clint are the team's pranking kings. Their pranks never fail and will surely make everyone go mad. In Thor's eyes, Tony is the team's supplier n brain. He gave Thor unlimited supply of pop tarts. As for Steve, Tony is like his son. A naughty , playful but genius son. Steve would ground Tony for going to bed late or didn't had his meal on time. For Tony, the Avengers were his family. Besides Pepper, he never had anyone that loved him so much. He was afraid that he would loose them, the people that he was willing to sacrifice himself for.
Just some history. Reviews please!
