Tony's Pov:

The next day when I made Nat a new gun she took it with a smile and a thank you...Then the court date happened...I sat tense in my seat...Then I got called to the stand...I was asked...questions I didn't really want to answer but the judge watched me. That is till Obie stood up...I paled as he asked me questions...I swallowed.

"Are you not bonded to me?" He asked and I nodded. "Have we not had a child together?" He asked and I nodded. "Then why, love...why are you doing this?" Obie asked and I blinked...What? "Please answer me." He begged and Murrdock called him...But the Judge allowed it...

"You broke me." I signed and the judge frowned. "You took away everything...My home, my work, my son, my voice...You won Obie...I don't want to do this anymore...take whatever you want just don't hurt my kids." I signed and Obie looked smug. The team's eyes were on me when I sat back down and looked at the floor that is till a scarred hand landed on mine giving it a little squeeze. I felt my eyes widen when Obie lost...

"What?" Obie asked.

"You have tortured that poor Omega and I will not let that go unpunished...Omega's are very rare and should be treated well Mr. Stane." The Judge said...Later when we were leaving Obie lunged at me...Then people were putting microphones up to my face...I don't remember this being that over whelming...Questions and shouting and lights flashing.

"Hey." I blinked and looked at Stephen. "Come on." He said and guided me out of the frenzy...The team smiled at me and Bruce hugged me. I let myself cry in his shoulder...silent tears...The next day I stared at my work station.

"He's been like that all day."

"Tony?"

"Anthony?" I blinked and looked up at Stephen. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"What do I do now?" I signed.

"Whatever you want." Stephen said...Like it's that easy...A few hours later I was rebuilding Steve's bike.

"We have a garage?" I blinked and looked at Clint, Steve, Bucky, Bruce, and Peter.

"What are you doing?" Bruce asked.

"Wait...is that my old bike?" Steve asked stunned and Bucky whistled.

"It looks like it." Bucky said.

"Howard, must have kept it." Steve said.

"Of course dad kept your bike he loved you two." I signed and got back to work not noticing the wide eyes as everyone looked at each other. I have been getting memories of this timeline slowly and was surprised my father wasn't garbage this time around.

"Dad?" I blinked and looked up to see Steve's wide eyes.

"Dad...Mom...whatever." I signed and that's apparently not what he meant.

"Tony...what do you mean by that?" Bruce asked softly.

"Howard was an Omega." I signed...He just wore scent blockers...unlike my dumbass.

"WHAT!?" I startled and looked at Steve as Bucky tried to calm him down.

"Stevie, your scaring Tony." Bucky said.

"You guys didn't know?" I signed.

"No." Bucky said and was studying me.

"Sorry." I signed and got back to Steves bike.

"He's not...ours right...He's not..." I heard Steve but was too busy trying to fix this damn carburetor on his bike and this screw is bent to hell...I need to just take it off...Maybe I should just pull the engine and build a new one...

"Tony." I startled and looked up at Bruce. "Do...you know who uh...Howards mate was when he had you?" Bruce asked.

"Nope. He always said it was James and swore he'd save him." I signed and frowned as I looked at the bike.

"Buck..." I looked up at Steve to see him hugging Bucky who was crying. Uh...

"Did I make him cry?" I signed.

"No." Bruce said softly.

"Can I help, Tony?" Peter asked.

"Yes, you have super strength...Twist this." I signed and gestured at the screwdriver. Peter finally got the damn screw free.

"Wow...that's bent." Peter said looking at the screw.

"Tony..." I looked up at the two super soldiers. "Could we ask you to take a blood test?" Steve asked and I cocked my head to the side. "We...want to check your DNA." He said and I shook my head.

"We don't have to tell anyone...It could just be us." Bruce said and I looked at him.

"Fine." I signed and they all lite up...One blood test later I was sitting in the kitchen listening to music as I worked on my tablet bobbing my head to the music.

Stephen's Pov:

"Why are you two standing here?" I asked and peeked into the kitchen smiling as Tony was bobbing his head to some music.

"He's Bucky's son." I froze and looked at the two.

"What? Really?" I asked.

"He's Howard Starks son." Bucky said.

"Howard Stark...isn't he locked in the looney bin?" I asked and there eyes widened.

"What?" Bucky asked.

"He's alive?" Steve asked.

"Yeah he was admitted by...Oh my god." I said realizing what probably happened.

"What?" Steve asked.

"Stane put him in there cause he apparently was having delusions of...having a kid." I said and Bucky snarled as did Steve.

"That fucker." Bucky growled.

"We have to get him out." Steve said.

"Well...The only way to do that is to prove he's not crazy which...You have the proof in your hand." I said.

"But...Tony didn't want this getting out." Bucky said.

"He's scared..." I said.

"Also you are way too old for him." Steve said and I choked.

"How old is he?" I asked.

"28." Bucky said.

"Ok...That's pretty young." I said...I'm about to hit 40.

"12 year difference." Steve said crossing his arms. I was about to apologize when I got side hugged by Tony...I gave them an apologetic look but saw them sigh.

"I guess you're not a bad choice though." Bucky said making me smile.

"Stephen, hi." Tony signed.

"Hey." I said softly and his eyes brightened.

"I need your help with something." He said and I chuckled...How could I say no to that face?

"Ok...Let me see." I said and Tony smiled brightly making my heart melt a little.
