Liz was sat at home, watching the news, when a red flash went across the screen. Iron man...

Hm, who else was on the screen? Thor the god, hulk the big green monster, Captain America, a guy and the girl agent who pretended to be Peppers secretary...

Wait! Captain America? Steve Rogers?

Absolutely not possible. No. No. He died, in 1945, he broke his promise.

Liz couldn't believe it. Seeing the man She once loved, along with her nephew and other people, all fighting to save New York.

After the battle, Liz decided to call Tony .

"Hey Ellie." Tony picked up the phone, obviously drunk out of his mind.

"Tony." Liz greeted coldly.

"Heyyyyy, what happened to T, do you not loveee meeee anymoree?" Tony whined.

"Tony, call me back when you're sober." Liz growled into the phone.

Days later, Liz received a call back from Tony.

"Hey, aunt El..." Tony said shyly.

"Tony." Liz said and Tony sighed into the phone.

"Look, I'm sorry-"

"Sorry about what exactly?" Liz shot quickly.

"I- uhm- can we talk? In person, please?"

"Fine. Where?"

"Stark tower?"

"Fine. When?"

"This afternoon? 2?"

"Great, see you then." Lus said, then hung up.

When Liz finally arrived at Stark Tower she went up to Tony's office and knocked.

"Aunt El? Come in!" El pushed the door open and stood in front of Tony with her arms crossed.

"Aunt El, please don't be mad. I-" before he finished his sentence Liz pulled him into a hug.

"I was so worried, you idiot! What was you thinking- going up into a fucking alien portal?"

"Aunt El, I never meant to worry you, I just-"

"Anthony Edward Stark! You went into an alien wormhole, what do you think I would do, go oh it's fine? My nephew just flew into an alien shit hole? No, I'm thinking I'm never gonna see you again!"

"I'm sorry. I- I tried to call you, and you didn't pick up."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too busy watching you die!"

A tear rolled down Liz's cheeks and Tony ran to her and hugged her.

"I'm so so sorry, Aunt El."

"It's fine. Now... When can I meet your new team mates?"

"Well, you've met 2 of them before..."

"Oh and who's that?"

"Well, you've met Romanoff and the Capsicle."

"Capsi-? Oh! Steve. Right. Does he even know I'm still alive?"

"I don't know? I've only ever spoken to you as Aunt El? So, I don't know?"

"Hm, might be complicated. So when do I get to meet your other team mates?"

"Maybe in a few days, I mean, they want to meet you, because I talk about you all the time."

"Do you, now?" Liz grins.

"Well, yeah. You've always been there for me and I love you, so..."

"I love you too, T."

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?"

"Not quite yet..."
