Tony Stark Oneshots

Peggy Carter isnt all that great

A/N: IK this is technically Howard Stark, not Tony, but oh well haha

Howard Stark was never one for drama. He tended to stick to himself, and had a small group of people whom were close to him

 everyone else were simply acquaintances, and he thought that it was easier to not become pulled into others' issues

Which is why when he walked in on... whatever it was that was going on with Steve and Carter, he quickly changed the topic at hand to that of the new discovery he'd made...

vibranium

He found a good sized chunk of the strange metal while out scavenging for materials. Once he had gotten a closer look, he immediately knew something was different about the material, and brought it in for studying 

After the man had looked over it, and did his fare share of research, he had found out the hunk of metal was worth over eighteen million American dollars

Howard knew that the metal would change not only America, but the whole planet for the better. The substance was a large step towards an extraordinarily technological future

Howard didn't have much to do with his free time, and tended to grow bored easily

don't get him wrong, he played a large role in the war, being one on the army's largest and most reliable weapons supplier

He just wasn't a soldier, so he wasn't being constantly ordered around. In his free time, he experimented with the metal some more, easily growing fascinated with all the feats that the material could do

He especially loved how flexible it was, and how easy it was to melt down and mold into different shapes, the most recent being a large circle, in which could be seen as a shield if one looked close enough

He though that this would make the perfect distraction for Rogers, who was practically drooling over the brunette woman   

no, not the vibranium shield, but the multiple other shields that he'd been in charge of making for the super soldier

he just hoped that Roger's would like one of them

"I took the liberty of coming up with some options", He started, motioning to the array of shields all played about the table

Steve's attention was successfully diverted away from Peggy as his eyes widened with excitement 

He looked over the different shapes, observing each one extremely closely 

Howard saw Steve taking especially long staring at one of the spiky shields he'd made

"This one's fun", Howard nodded towards the shield in which the soldier was running his hand over, "she's been fitted with electrical relays that allow you to-"

"how about this one?" Steve cut the man off, eyes having caught sight of a circular shield that was seemingly being hidden under the table

He picked it up, turning it around in his hands, looking as though he were seeing how it would feel to carry out into the fields

Howard's eyes widened, He'd hidden that shield under the table for a reason! There was no way he was going to give up a multiple million dollar shield to a man he barely even knew. Not to mention that it isn't even meant to be a shield in the first place, its only in that shape because he'd been playing around with the flexibility of the new metal

"nono, thats just a prototype-" He tried to wave the captain off, only to be cut off again by the blonde man,

"What's it made of?" He asked, voice full of unmasked awe
