This takes place a few days after Age of Ultron. Now there is some Canon divergence here:-

1) Frigga is still alive. She was injured by Kursed and was later healed. So with her still alive Loki didn't do his act of dying and returned to Asgard after helping Thor defeat Malekith. Odin seeing this doesn't put him in prison but kept him in house Arrest in his rooms.

2) Unlike Canon. Nick Fury actually reveals that Coulson is alive. Pietro doesn't die. Bruce returns to the Avengers instead of being exiled in Sakaar by the Illuminati.

It has been a few days after the destruction of Sokovia and the thousands of deaths that Ultron's crusade against humanity caused. And now it was up to Tony Stark, his girlfriend and almost fiancee Pepper Potts and their merry band of Lawyers to deal with this mess.

This is one of the reason Tony had retired from the Avengers. He knows that it will be almost impossible for him to be on the team as well as manage all the mess that Project Ultron had left. That as well as the crushing guilt of creating a murder bot.

And while he hadn't informed the Team of this, merely stating that he was tired of Avenging and now wants to live a life of peace and quite, he still suspects that the righteous Star Spangled man, aka Steve Rogers, knows about his reasons but the boy scout is too polite to mention it.

Even though it has been nearly three years they have know each other, it sometimes still surprises Tony how Cap can deal with his bullshit. From the moment they have met each other at Stuttgart he has been nothing but rude to the Captain, because of his own petty jealousy and daddy issues.

Tony Stark is not a good man, even though he have changed after spending a few weeks in the caverns of Afghanistan. At his core he is still the same insecure traumatic man who hides beneath the facade of a sarcastic asshole.

Shaking his head he looked at the projection of his new Suit, Mark 46. Just because he has retired from the Avengers, doesn't mean he can't prepare for future conflicts.

"Well at least they have taken my warning seriously" He thought somberly.

After Sokovia, the original Avengers had a lengthy discussion about any future problems that may potentially rise. Tony's warning about threats from outer Space being the forefront of the discussion. Thor too, vouched for Tony this time, saying that the emergence of two Infinity Stones in three years is not a coincidence.

So now the Asgardian Prince is currently travelling across the Nine Realms and beyond searching for any rumours or hints about who is stirring things up. His last communication being from some Planet called Xandar where another Infinity Stone is being kept. And just like Earth, it too was attacked by some Warlord name Ronan.

While their alien Protector is off World, Steve and Natasha were training the new batch of Avengers. The Maximoff Twins Wanda and Pietro, Vision, Sam Wilson and Rhodes. Four new recruits, all them talented.

"Well Six recruits" Tony corrected himself with a smirk. If he has any then Spider-Boy is currently well on his way.

Suddenly a light flashed beneath his feet.

"What th-" Tony yelps in alarm calls his trusted A.I "F.R.I.D.A.Y!!"

But before the A.I can reply, he was engulfed by the light.
