Zachary Danvers-Stark is the adoptive son of Tony Stark, with a genius-level intellect and gifted powers. But his life will turn when he becomes a part of something, much, much bigger than himself.

Years later, Zach, at the age of nineteen, was ready to leave for college. In the years past 1996, he had grown up so much. At just the age of 15, like Tony, he had gotten accepted into MIT due to his brilliant mind, after taking up a habit to design robots like Tony had, to which the two had developed a bond.
Tony had tried to become more invested in Zach's life, which had led to the public calling him out as Stark's son, though they never knew if he was really his son. Around 1999, he was introduced to Pepper Potts, who Tony had hired as his secretary, who would always act as a mother figure to Zach and had always checked up on him.
Zach had even accidentally called her "Mom", but she just smiled and said if he was comfortable, he could call her that. And it stuck, as Pepper would grow more motherly to him, becoming more concerned for him if he ever got hurt, and even attended his graduation.

By 17, just like Tony, Zach graduated from MIT, and pursued a life in New York to try new experiences in the Big Apple. In a penthouse by himself, paid for by Tony, he made it home in Manhattan where he had even had a relationship with one Athena Fields. However, they'd broken up after two years due to Zach having been done with school and college, and her having just graduated from High school and wanting to pursue a career in modelling. They still remained good friends although.
Around 2003, tragedy had struck the Starks when Edwin Jarvis sadly passed away. The funeral was held in New York, and Zach had felt so much grief and loss for the man he'd cherished and cared for when he was a child. The kind, elderly man had told him stories about his adventures with the S.S.R, how he recollected his tales with the ever-famous Agent Peggy Carter, and the stories of Captain America and his Howling Commandos, which had Tony frustrated.
Jarvis had been there for him for so many times, but Zach wasn't there to say goodbye. However, Tony honored the former butler by naming his new artificial intelligence as "J.A.R.V.I.S", or "Just A Rather Very Intelligent System."
But finally in 2004, Zach decided to continue his education at the University of Cambridge, and due to his reputation at MIT, they were glad to admit him. So now, Zach waited in LaGuardia Airport, awaiting his flight to the UK, with none other than Goose by his side in a cat carrier. The disguised Flerken hissed and scratched the mesh to open the carrier, but it was no use.
"Goose, you have to be quiet!" Zach scolded the Flerken. "I know you don't like carriers, but we can't have people seeing tentacles out of a cat's mouth, can we?" Goose hissed in retaliation, making Zach lean down and look at her. "Look, if I get some food for you, will you be okay? No hissing?" Zach asked.
"Meow."
"Good with me," Zach stood up to find something suitable for a Flerken, they could eat practically anything. He eventually settled for a new chain, Shake Shack, and found some food that Goose would enjoy. But before he could, he noticed a man with a beanie and sunglasses indoors, next to him.
