Nick Fury is my neighbour

"Advanced technology"

The first week after Starks I AM IRON MAN was hectic, either press nor fans could get their head around the changes in Tony Starks personality. What happend to him in Afghanistan? Would Stark Industries really stop to build and sell weapons? Is he really Iron Man and was it not a bodyguard who fought?

One Saturday after that Fury and Jakob sat together eating as Jakob asks a question about a topic that was floating in his head for a long time. "What do you do for living to be working at different times without a clear scedule and while travelling all around the USA."

Fury didnt even looks up from his food while he reply: "I work for USTTA, US travel and tourism administration as an international  PR problemsolver to keep the economy behind tourism strong. last year the tourist brought the country more than 150 billion dollars. Iron Man is the next tourist attraction that could bring a lot of money to the US. The first Superhero since Captain America."

Jakob: "USTTA, does not roll good from the tongue, sound like sound a marching band would make. Ustah ustah ustatatah."  Fury was not impressed with Jakobs try to copy a marching band. 

 Furys cell phones ACDC  ringtone sounded trough the room. Fury raised his  brows "Did Stark hacked the mother..."

"Ahem!"  Jakob stared at him and Fury stopped while standing up "Time for work, thanks for the coffee."

While Jakob started his day Fury arrived outside a Donut shop. Stark sitting  totally  lowkey inside the giant Donut with his Iron Man suit on, really totally lowkey. After a few minutes of Fury staring at Tony he got down. "Why did you hacked my phone you little piece of shit? What do you want speak quick I have better things to do than wasting my time with a narcissistic billionar."  Tony smiles his I am smarter then you smile an shows Fury a stack of documents.

 "I was reading trough  the Avenger candidates and other S.H.I.E.L.D. files. You need better firewalls by the way, it took me only 10 mimutes to break trough them. In one extra secured folder  about  my visit in Afghanistan found I an familiar face." Tony shows Fury the folder.

Why has S.H.I.E.L.D. files about people working with S.I., are you still trying to get the technology for Iron Man? I think a visit is needed to learn if you tried to get informations out of him. I saw him before somewhere, is he also an agent? "

  Fury glared at him. "Stark, he is not an agent and I dont think he would have the opportunity as translator of Cell phone and toaster manuals to get blueprints of your suit."

 "The Stark toasters are all very advanced pieces of technology." "They toast Iron Man on the slices."

 "Like I said, very advanced, your just mad that I got you fancy Eypatches for Christmas and not a toaster." with this words Tony takes of while Fury swears about a certain billionar idiot.

After a while of flying Tony arrives at Jakobs house and knocks, after a while Jakob open the door and looks surprised at the Visitor. "Hello Mr. Stark how can I help you, what brings you to me?" 

 "Mr. Stark was my father, you can call me Tony. I looked at different contractors working for my company, what I do absolutly routinely. I remembered our encounter after reading your name and thought to myself that I should visit. I brought a gift from the company."  With this words Tony enters the house after handing Jakob an Iron Man toaster.

 "Where is the kitchen I need some coffee." Both enter the kitchen and Jakob says: "Yeah right the Boss of Stark Industries does the job of his HR. What do you really whant from me besides giving me this toaster?" 

Tony answers while looking trough the whole kitchen for snacks. "Hey its advanced technology." "

"It toasts Iron Man on the slices."

"Why you dont notice how difficult it is to toast an image precisely on bread so that you can see every detail of my suit."

"I can see how narcisstic it is to use probaly half the developing time just for that feature" Tony looks offended at Jakob while pouring himself a third cup of coffee.

"I give the Fans what they want. It also plays ACDC when the bread is toasted."

"I  see, its really advanced technology." Jakob says mockingly.

"Hey no snippy remarks from one living in a house mostly like it was hundred years ago. I need to go again if I miss another meeting Pepper will be at my throat." with this words Tony left, leaving behind Jakob and a definitely not wired toaster.

The present didnt worked out like Tony thought. Jakob gave the Toaster to the curch cafe. Tony didnt knew that there are so many different ways to bake marble cake, not that he wanted to know. He stopped about his plan to find more about Jakob after he saw that there was no chance for him to get important infos about Stark Tech.

The following three years where mostly uneventful for Jakob (who in contrast to Tony Stark knows when to shut up) until Fury asks Jakob for a favor.
