Truth is... I'm a Stark

What i fight for

Tony Stark did not believe in fate; he was a man of science. But after the Battle of New York only one letter was left on Stark Tower, an A. Of all the letters, why an A? It was the least likely to be left, Tony would have had no qualms with it if an S was left, due to the number of then across both words (Stark Industries) they had a 20% chance of being the surviving letter. Plus, the S could've stood for Stark so it would've been easier for him. But no, defying the odds of having only a 6.6666667% chance of remaining {AN: that's right I know math be impressed 😌} the A was still attached to the tower. A was conveniently the first letter of Avengers, the team he was now a part of (well at least he was pretty sure he was in the team, he might still be just a consultant, Tony honestly didn't really know). So if you accused the genius of believing in miracles or fate he would vehemently deny it; he definitely left the A on the tower to save money, he was already spending so much on repairs from Chitauri damages. But if you asked Pepper she would tell you it was her husband's way of honouring the avengers as friends, maybe one day family.

Junior Stark doesn't like being treated like a little kid; he was 8 - almost 9 which means he was basically 10. He wasn't a child so he made sure not to act like one: he tried to avoid being carried, he stopped calling his dad daddy (though sometimes his would do it accidentally) and sometimes he would put on a deeper voice to make him sound more manly, though he quickly stopped once he realised it was stupid and just made him seem more childish. The point was, he wasn't going to accept being treated like a baby, so when his dad wouldn't let him meet his teammates, he was very annoyed. Sure, he understood why he didn't want everyone to know about him when he was little, Peter didn't want super villains coming after him either - but these were the good guys! If his dad was going to disappear every summer to save the world and almost die with them, he deserved to at least meet them; he wanted to meet Thor and Captain America , Hawkeye and Dr Bruce Banner and did he mention Thor! Peter was determined to meet them because he was a young adult who deserved to know and if his dad wasn't going to let him then he wasn't afraid to act like a baby if it meant he would get his own way. Besides, it wasn't like he was revealing who he was to the whole world.

"Big man in a suit of armour, take that off and what are you?"
"Stark naked."
"Ha ha very funny Stark."
"Thanks Cap I try."
The other avengers sat around the table, bored, annoyed and exhausted; they had just come back from a mission fighting doom bots (why couldn't the Fantastic4 fight their own villains?!) and were currently in a briefing with Nick Fury. Tony and Steve had managed to get into an argument, again, it was always over the same thing, those men would start a war someday. So the other avengers sat around the table on the meeting floor of the tower, bored as ever.
"I've seen you out there you only fight for yourself," Steve sneered.
"That's not true," Tony replied, slightly hurt. He was sort of regretting leaving the A on the tower now, maybe he could take it down. Wait no, then it would just be 'The Tower' that was so lame it was like taking the super out of superman then he was just ..... man.
"Fine then Stark, tell me, what do you fight for."
As if on cue, a young boy shyly walked into the room.
"Mummy said I should come and save you," he said in a cute voice and made grabby hands at Tony, implying he wanted to be carried. The mechanic noticed the change in his son's voice but chose not to question it and picked the boy up on instinct, he was quite short for his age so it wasn't hard.
"Oh I'm saved," he replied as the child curled into him and the avengers, except from Nat, looked at the pair in shock. Junior looked around the room, Thor wasn't here, he had probably gone back to Asgard, well this was a waste of time, oh well, at least he could see Dr Banner. "Hi Aun'y Nat," he waved at Natasha. The spy knew full well what the child was doing;  1) that wasn't her nephew's normal voice  2) Pepper would never send her son into an avengers meeting without good reason 3) Fury would be less furious {AN: see what I did there 😏 I love making puns} by the interruption if the child seemed younger, the man had a strange soft spot for babies. She raised an eyebrow in response before deciding to play along, "hey Petey," she cooed.
Fury was the first to recover from the shock of having a child in the room: "Romanoff, Stark, what the fu..... fudge," he quickly censored himself once remembering there was a child in the room.
Tony snorted, "smooth, Fury smooth." He went to leave but before he turned to Steve and said, "this Rogers," he gestured to Junior, "this is what I fight for."
