Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize. Only my OC, Agent Clarissa Melanie Connors, and her story line belongs to me.


It's been a few decades since the Valkyrie crashed somewhere in the Arctic and not a day goes by where I don't miss Steve. Howard's doing all he can to find him for me but I've told him to put a stop to his project, saying the only thing he can do to make me happy is to make up with Maria and settle down with her.

Not long after I said that he met up with me to break the news of Maria being his fiancee. After a couple of years, they finally tied the knot and gave birth to my first godson, Anthony Edward Stark.

Years had passed and it's now the year 2000, nine years has passed since Howard and Maria's death. I gladly took the role of being Tony's guardian. Tony went to MIT for college when he was just 15 and I couldn't have been any prouder of him. He graduated when he was 17 and took the position of CEO that I was holding for him when he turned 21. Even though Tony is a legal adult, I still took the responsibility of being his guardian. He didn't seem to mind, I now live with him in his Malibu house and he now is the CEO of Stark Industries.

Not much has changed, but I have been working on the new and improved SSR with the new face of the company, which is Joseph's son: Nicholas J. Fury. His right-hand man- or woman I should say- is Agent Maria Hill. I recruited a few agents on my own including Phil Coulson and Clint Barton. I sent Nick to acquire Clint Barton while I took care of Coulson. I managed to keep all this a secret to Tony but of course, things never stay a secret long enough.


AN: A little bit of background info on what's going to happen in the Iron Man part of TFWYSL! It will start at the beginning of Iron Man, but I will throw in a couple of flashbacks in there whether it be a Steve/Clary moment or a Howard/Clary scene. As I said, I will be on a short hiatus so the next chapter should be posted on the 31st of August or maybe even sooner! Thanks a bunch and sorry for the wait! -E

As for reviews...

-I did hate writing the plane crash scene, my heart hurt for Steve and Clary :( And I am super excited for Clary to be around Tony, it's only fair she gets to be around him because his father was Clary's best friend!

-I am very excited to write Clara into the Avengers! I love that movie, it's probably my fave next to Cap 2! Thank you so much and I will!
