[1] Taeyong Lee-Stark and the League of Heroes

13 - I Am Iron Man.

PREVIOUSLY ON: League of Superheroes

Tony and Obadiah fight until they destroy the Stark Industries labs. Obadiah manages to overheat the Arc Reactor to a destructive ticking bomb and there seems to be no way in order to stop it. But Tony decided to channel that explosive energy and surge it to the sky, creating a tesla coil to help aim it properly. In the making of this coil, Tony and Obadiah fight on the roof top of the Labs until Obadiah's suit fails him and he falls to his death.

Tony has won the fight, but at what cost?

Taeyong sat in the normal confinements of Tony's car, at least one that was actually in full pieces and not lying broken in their garage. Taeyong had asked, he and Tony would be starting to repair the cars together by next week. Looks like another project to complete whilst Taeyong also drew up cool designs for his own suit, without Tony's permission. The two of them were going to meet up with Pepper and Rhodey at a hall to hold a press conference.

Taeyong usually allowed to go to press conferences because that would damage his non-existence in the eyes of the public, not like the younger had known. He simply thought that Tony didn't want him to disturb his work. Turned out, no one on Earth knew that Tony Stark had a son, no one had a clue Taeyong Lee-Stark existed. The young boy would never really learn the extent of how badly this would damage him in the future. For now, he simply relished in the fact that he was allowed to be a part of another thing with his dad. "So, am I going to be sitting in a separate room with Pepper whilst you do the talking?" Taeyong asked, looking up at his dad who was driving in the car for once.

"Yep, sorry you can't be front and centre. But it's probably for best, we let you come out to the public slowly," his dad advised.

Taeyong nodded in his seat and quickly clicked off his seat belt, when the car slowed inside of a parking lot. He got out first, shutting the door and waiting for his dad. Rhodey and Pepper walked over to him, with another man briskly following. Taeyong gasped, "You're the S.H.I.E.L.D. dude!" he said, recognising him immediately and pointing the man out, whilst he dad walked around the car to get to the young boy quickly.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Tony asked, resting a hand over Taeyong's shoulder.

"Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement, and Logistics Division," the man said. "But, S.H.I.E.L.D. actually does sound like a better name for our... brand," he smiled at Taeyong who prided himself in figuring out the name. "Agent Coulson, you remember me Stark?" he asked, directing his attention to Tony who pursed his lips and nodded vaguely, eyes shifting to his assistant.

"Agent Coulson here, is keeping the situation under wraps for now, his team was the one that helped me during the attack at the labs," she explained.

Tony nodded and then turned a slight grateful look towards Coulson, before his feature moulded itself into his regular air of arrogance. "Always nice to have a helping hand. Mind if I ask what you're doing in the back with us though?" Tony started to walk in the direction of the building's elevator. Pepper and Rhodey followed behind them whilst Agent Coulson pulled out a set of queue cards from out of his pocket.

"It would be beneficial to my team if you read this," he handed over the queue cards to Tony, "prepared speech to the public. Nothing happened that night, all and any explosion remains," Coulson gave a small smile, "the fault of a fireworks accident."

Tony looked down at the cards and then back at Coulson, "thanks."

"No problem," he said. "We have a room suited for you just before you make your appearance to the public."
