He spent the time since he arrived working on the plans for their new headquarters and what equipment would needed to get Steve out of the ice. Getting the equipment would not be a problem getting it to the location with out raising to many questions from others.
He was also had to write JARVIS's program so that het could build his suits. Natasha would also need her gear.
It was just after dark when he heard a car pull up. He went to the front window and saw a redhead get out of the drivers seat. He sighed in releaf when he saw Natasha. Tony opened the front door so he could greet her.
"Red, you were starting to worry me a little." said a concerned Tony.
"I ran in a little touble this morning but it is one less problem we have to deal with later." replied Natasha.
Tony knew better then to ask. He knew she only talked with Steve. It had been like that ever since they took SHIELD down together. "Come in and get something to eat and cleaned up. I have already started working on getting us what we need."
"Thanks Tony. I haven't eaten in a couple days and could use a long hot bath."
Tony showed her to her room. Once there Natasha noticed Tony had alread got her some clothes for few days. She stipped down and headed to the bathroom to take her bath.
Natasha walked in the kitchen a hour later after soaking in the bath. She sat at the table where Tony had a plate of French take out waiting. "Thanks Tony."
Tony looked up from the tablet he was working on. "No problem Red. We will rest her tonight and fly out in the morning. We will head to New York and stay at the Tower. From there it will be easier to get things put in motion."
"The sooner we get out of Europe the better. It will be a lot harder for Red Room to find me there. We can't afford them interfering with our plans if we are to get Steve out of the ice in time."
"Don't worry we will get him out in time. We just need to make sure that we don't get him to early." commented Tony.
"Even if we do, I can talk with him and explain everything that is going on till he comes back in time." replied Natasha.
The next morning the two headed to the airport. An half an hour later they were airborn and on their way to New York.

When they arrived in New York they took a cab to Stark Tower. When they arrived Tony locked it down so they would not be interrupted.
While Tony worked on getting the summer cabin that he had near Aspin remolded to meet their needs, Natasha started buying thing online that they would need in the mean time. They spent the first week in the tower getting everything started.
Tony had spoke with his father on a couple differant occasions to tell him he was working on a few projects to help the company. Tony refused to tell him what it was and Howard didn't push the issue.
S/N
6 months after they came back Tony and Natasha were in the tree line that boardered the road where in the old time line Howard and Marie Stark were killed by the Winter Soldier. They had tranq gun that Natasha would shot Bucky with. Once he was down Natasha would approach Howard and let him know what happen to James Barnes and what needed to help him. If asked who she was she would just say a friend that was helping a couple other friends.
Tony could see the road a good ways down. He was not sure where Barnes was located but he knew that is father would be able to get out of the car were he would confront Barnes. Thats when Natasha would take him down. Tony had restraints that would hold him till SHIELD retrieve him.
Tony watched the headlights come down the road and then the car lose control before hitting a tree. Using the advance optics in his suit he was able to spot Barnes. "Widow, he is at your 10 o'clock coming down the hill from across the road."
"Got him. As soon as he is in the clear I will take him down. No since in letting him get close to your parents." answered Natasha.
Tony watch as his father checked his mother to see if she was OK. He was just starting to get out when Barnes cleared the tree line. Not a few seconds lated Barnes was down.
Natasha saw Bucky drop and took off with a tranq gun ready to shot him again if needed. Just has she reached the road she saw him start to get up. She fired again. Once he didn't move for a minute she approached him so that she could administer a seditive.
Howard Stark had just got out of his car when he saw a man leave the tree line and then collaps. He was about to see if he needed help when he saw a blond woman come out of the trees from the opposite side of the road. He watched as she shot the man again and then wait to appoach him. He grabbed his cell phone and call SHIELD when he saw to woman place restraints on the man. She then turned and walked towards him.
Natasha approached Howard Stark "Mr. Stark. I am Natasha. I am not here to hurt you or your wife. My mission is to subdue James Barnes so that SHIELD can take him into custody and help him."
"James Barnes died back during WW2." replied Howard.
"No Mr. Stark. Because of experiments Zola did on him when he was captured he survived the fall. Russian soldiers found him and the Russian goverment turned him into a weapon. He was here to kill you. All the information you need is on disk. The disk has all the information that I and some friends know about what happen to him and how he can be helped." Natasha informed Howard.
Howard asked "Who are you?"
"I am a friend that is helping some other friends. We hope to bring down the Red Room and HYDRA." answered Natasha.
"How do you know of the Red Room?" asked Howard.
"Because they took me as a little girl after killing my parents. I was put in the Black Widow program were I remained till I freed myself from them. Now I plan on seeing them brought down."
Howard coud see the haterd in her eyes and knew she ment buisness. "SHIELD could help you. Come with me and I will make sure you get your chance."
"Sorry but I don't trust everyone at SHIELD and neither should you and Margret Carter. Operation Paper Clip is a failure. HYDRA has started to grow again right inside SHIELD. You need to contact those you know you can trust. Namely those that were loyal to Steve Rogers." replied Natasha.
Howard was shocked. If what he was hearing was true. They all were in trouble. He looked back towards his wife and when he turned back around Natasha was gone. He took his phone out and called Peggie.
When he heard Peggie answer "Peggie its Howard. We hare a problem."
S/N
An hour later Howard and Peggie were looking at a monitor that showed a man that was suppose to be dead. He was laying on a medical bed while being strapped down.
"How is this possible? Steve said he must of fell a 100 feet." asked Peggie.
"I looked through the information on the disk. From what I read he was near death when the Russians found him. He was taken to a hospital where test reveiled that he had been enhansted. The same people who run the Red Room and Black Widow program took him and created the Winter Soldier." stated Howard.
"Can we trust the data? We both had heard of the Black Widow and what we heard didn't sound good. We are not sure if there is only one or more then one." asked Peggie.
"I don't see why not. Marie and I would both be dead if she didn't save us. We also have James Barnes laying right in front of us. I wanted her to come with me but she doesn't trust SHIELD." answered Howard.
"We need to keep this as quiet so HYDRA doesn't know we have him or we know they are still around." stated Peggie.
"I got Fury and Coulson working on it. We can trust them." answered Howard.
