Hello everybody.

The song is Howards Tale by Sick Puppies. God i love that song!

Anyway, enjoy the episode.

Tony wasn't sure how it happened. All he knew was that the metal in his hand now was a sharp knife. According to scientists explained; the serum was injected him was not made according to instructions by giving him the ability to manipulate anything metal with one touch. At the time Howard realized, his life became a nightmare.

Tony was subjected to a hard workout. He learned several languages and how to read people, taught him how to kill a person, learned to shoot a gun at 5 years and killed his first victim a few days before his seventh birthday, and eight years old when he led his first mission. But still they didn't stop to take him to that chair whenever improved serum.

Age five just a little boy shy

Is he ready for the big surprise?

He'll be playin' Lego in a dream

When the shadows come to life

Age nine then he should've been fine with a secret he's sure to keep

Two times and they tell a little lie

For the sake of him and me

Now it's over

I need closure

"I want to see my son Howard!" It was what Maria always cried when Howard went home without Tony. Time passed and Tony was 13 when he escaped. As already said, the serum hadn't done great physical change in him, so he was a very thin and small for a boy of his age.

He ran through the forest around the dam, thousands of guards behind him. He couldn't stop; this was his chance of freedom. All he had was the bag that the man had given him the first day he arrived, along with his teddy bear.

"Don't worry. We'll get through this," he told his friend plush but it was more for himself. The fear of being recaptured prevented him realize that no one chasing him until he came to a small cabin.

He was hungry and sleepy. He entered the cabin without caring if it was inhabited. He just wanted to hide in case anyone was following. He fell asleep on a couch.

Hey! Look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone?

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say, nothing.

"Is he alive?" Said a female voice.

"I don't know," replied a deep voice. "Hey kid!" The man shouted, shaking the boy's shoulder on his couch. "Wake brat!"

Tony snapped awake, He was very scared and confused. 'Oh, they haven't found me!' He thought. He left the man who had awakened him and sought a way out.

"Hey, are you okay?" the man asked.

"I'm sorry ... I ... I ... I promise not to do it again!" Tony apologized almost in tears. His breathing was very agitated and turned his head frantically searching for a way out. He seemed like an afaid puppy "Please don't hurt me. I promise to be good!" He knelt to show their repentance.

"Logan" The woman said the man. Logan nodded and slowly approached the child showing his arms in sign of peace.

"Listen friend, I will not hurt you okay?"Logan told him to try to calm down but the boy got up from his bow as he approached, running until he hit a wall. "Hey, hey, quiet!"

"Hey, what's your name?" The woman asked in a motherly tone. Immediately both men turned to see him. The child had a marked confusion all over his face. She moved closer to Logan in the same way he did almost to the child's personal space, and knelt before him giving him a smile. The child fell again "I'm Kayla, and you, what's your name?"

Tony hesitated for a moment his answer, but Kayla's eyes made him feel safe somehow. "T-tony" said timidly, no one asked his last name so why say.

Tony stayed with them for a while. He knew it was very quick to feel Logan and Kayla as his family. Logan had told him of his abilities and he somehow did too. Kayla treated him as her son.

All that disappeared when one day, none of them returned after work. So he had no choice but to back away.

Age twelve and it isn't going well

Now he's three years to the day

Confused, but unlike you

This feeling won't go away

New York was his destiny.

He wanted to meet his mother again, but didn't know how, because it was very clear that Howard would be there.

He managed to hide in a truck. He slept in the streets and steal food. His backpack and his teddy bear were his only company.

Near New York, he had his first encounter with drugs and alcohol. And took days without eating and hadn't been able to prove anything. Several men from the laboratory where he was had found him and he was running again. He ended up hiding in a deadlock; the cache will not last long because soon they had him surrounded.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a colored man hit his captors. He introduced himself as Cesar Dominguez. The man took him to his house. It was a small apartment very sloppy but he didn't complain.

Sixteen and the woman down the street

Has invited him to come inside

First time and it didn't feel right

It'll be the last time he tries

One day a strange smell filled the apartment of the man. At first, Tony didn't like the smell but over time, felt certain taste every time he smelled. Cesar told him it was marijuana, plus he told him about his work. Cesar was a drug dealer. That meant that he also sometimes had to flee when they found him.

Shortly after his sixteenth birthday, Howard and several Striker's men found him. He couldn't do anything when they ended the life of Cesar. This time he lost control of himself and attacked the murderers of which he considered his brother. He created an armor with a trash can that was at hand, unfortunately they caught him again.

When he awoke, he was surprised to not be in the Alkali Lake Dam, this time, was in what appeared to be a military warehouse, to his horror was back in that chair.

"Don't worry, you'll thank me after this," Striker told him, entering the room next to him was Victor as ever. "Now your body will be able to create any metal. Ain't fun. "

This time the pain was more intense than all the previous times. When the experiment was ended, he was forced to kill his own mother.

"TONY PLEASE!" Maria shouted to his son. Tears welled in the eyes of Tony, he never wanted this life, and he never asked to be broken into pieces and repaired again and again to become the little monster he was now. "I LOVE YOU. PLEASE TONY! "

"Sorry ..." he said. His hands were shaking and he could feel tears falling down his cheeks. He had run away from this hell to meet his mother, which was always his dream every time he closed his eyes in that cell. But now he was there, many of his feelings revolted him. "I ..." his voice broke "... I love you." As Howard order him, he created a knive out of his hand and he threw to the head of his mother. She died instantly. He just stared at her motionless body without saying a word, and even if he did, she would never return to life.

Anger and hatred was all he felt while Howard would only say how proud he was of him. But it everything was a lie.

Hey! Look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone?

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say, nothing's wrong

Before long, he was again being assigned missions. Now he was fully monitored. In a surgery, they implanted a locator in the back of his neck, the chip also controlled his body while trying to rebel.

Most of the killings were people who wanted to affect Stark Industries or some businessman who didn't want to sell parts of their actions. Before long, he became the bodyguard of Howard and became one of the most wanted criminals without mentioning the youngest. The rest of the world had already forgotten the missing son of Howard Stark. Tony Stark was dead for everyone and for him.

I won't say nothing's wrong.

I won't say I won't say

I won't say I won't say

I won't say I won't say

Seventeen and all he's ever seen is

A limit in between the lies

It's kind of funny how a mind

Can keep living in denial

When he turned 17, he escaped this time with success when an organization called Shield invaded the place where they had him. In the confusion, he escaped. Still remained a criminal for the world.

He knew it wouldn't be easy to survive in a big city without a job and a house. He found work as an assistant mechanic in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, and in less than a month the owner had fond of him.

"Blake!" Shouted Dito when he came to his shop and saw the boy. "I have you an offer that you can't refuse!" Turns out that Dito was also a dealer. He was leader of the Cartel Montiel who was responsible for smuggling weapons and drugs.

"Really? Which One? "

"Do you know how to use a computer?" Tony smiled at what Dito said. Of course he knew how to use one; he was a genius after all.

His job was easy. He just had to divert the destination of a shipment of arms of a business system that will reach Dito who could sell them on the black market. Such was his success that soon became second in command in the cartel. Dito told him to do and he willingly obeyed. He took care to warn the debtor what happened when they didn't pay or doesn't fulfill their promises, also oversaw each shipment arrived and erased system companies shipping data.

He was now well known in the neighborhood, the girls were kneeling before him whenever they saw him, literally, and he was the prince of the neighborhood. Alcohol and drugs had become commonplace in his life. Everyone thought he was the son of Dito.

Eighteen is a very strange scene,

And hes still playin with the past

Expelled, maybe someone could've helped

If someone had known to ask

Howard Stark was dead.

That was the happiest moment of his life, but also the saddest because his butler Jarvis died with the bastard in the accident; even more he hated the man, he knew it wasn't an accident. But what could they do? All that remained was to thank the damn dead.

But nothing improved for him. Howard had left a large wound in his life. He didn't sleep well, if he did, he had nightmares of that damned laboratory or the motionless body of his mother. But he wouldn't let that affect him.

Hey! look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say, nothing

Nineteen and he's innocently

Parked right beside a school

He stares at a boy sittin' there

And the boy stares at him too

He walks over

He needs closure
