Behind the masks

Chapter one

People believe what they see. That's how it works. Sadly people will always judge people by their family, their appearance, and where they come from. In short they judge a book by its cover. Society will always be judgemental and harsh seeing what they want to see.
Sadly the person who has been judged the most by society is probably Tony.

It hurts but there's nothing Tony can do. People will always judge there is no use in crying. Stark men are made of iron and instead of trying to change people's opinion about him he tries to be as helpful as he can.

Spending endless hours in his workshop not eating or sleeping in order to work on inventions to help protect people. Creating gadgets, gizmos, and do-that's for his fellow teammates. Getting no ounce of appreciation for his work, but it's fine Tony has learned to live with it.

"Pull up the diagram again J." Tony says frustrated. The dang arrows he is making for Clint aren't going as he wants them to. Clint wanted an arrow that would have a bigger explosion but the problem was that the bullet point of the arrow was pretty small so it is hard to work on. Not only that he would need to find a way to somehow make the boom small enough to fit and still have a bigger explosive. Tony also needs to find a way for the arrow to only explode on impact and not on Clint's quiver accidentally.

"Boss, I recommend you rest. It has been 63 hours since you have slept and 120 hours since you have eaten. Your blood sugar is getting every low-"

"J. I need to finish this. I'm almost done buddy, just please open the diagram again." Tony says exhausted. He doesn't have enough energy and thinking clearly is getting harder, his version is getting blurry the longer he is awake but he just has to finish.

"Very well sir." The AI says, sounding disapproving. Tony would have been proud of J.A.R.V.I.S. For showing more emotion if he wasn't so dang tired.

The diagram opens again but it's hard for Tony to focus his vision for a second. About to start working when all of a sudden the Avengers alarm sounds alerting that there is danger and they are needed.

Startled Tony jumps hitting his back on the chair he was sitting on ( Thankful he was not sitting on a stool) and covers his chest protectively. It takes a few seconds for him to realize that the Avengers alarm is sounding and that no one is trying to take or touch his reactor.

"What is the situation J.A.R.V.I.S.?" Tony asks as his site starts to assemble.

"Sir I insist that you stay behind you are in no position to-"

"No J.A.R.V.I.S. There is no time for your recommendations,tell me what's going on" Tony says with seriousness that made him sound angry at the AI which he didn't mean to it's just staying up and not eating was really affecting his mood.

"There appears to be extraterrestrials attacking Central Park Sir." Tony wasn't sure but he could have sworn he heard his AI sigh.

"Thank you J. Anything else I should know." There was a slight pause from J.A.R.V.I.S. "It appears that the extraterrestrials are using advanced technology." He replied.

Tony felt excitement run through him, at the thought of being able to explore foreign advanced technology. I mean how could he not? His whole life he has been dedicated to technology. Always having the want of learning more about it and discovering the works of it.

So with that in mind Tony takes off to the sky excited to get his hands on the new alien technology.

**************************************

When Tony arrives at the scene it's chaos with people screaming and running in different directions. The Alien ship (or whatever it was) was at the center of the park. Tony looked around trying to see if the other Avengers had arrived and it did not take long for him to spot them. At a distance he could see the bright colors of the Captain's uniform and shield. The shield shining by the sunlight as it was thrown across. A few feet away black willow shooting the aliens wearing the suit Tony had improved a few days ago. Looking a little ahead was the hulk trying to smash the aliens with his fist and stomp on them. Tony could not spot Hawkeye at the moment but he was sure that he was mostly somewhere high off the ground.
