I hope you enjoy this new project of mine. I didn't want to start at the beginning as watching iron man has been done a lot. I'm also thinking of doing spider-man homecoming and possibly the guardians of the galaxy movies afterwards as well. Feel free to leave a review! Especially if you have some constructive criticism for me or any ideas for later chapters. Not entirely sure how often I'll be updating this. Hopefully around one every week or two weeks.

'No.' Tony said adamantly, 'We are not watching this.'

'Well. I'm bored and I thought it would be fun to show your teammates the true you.' Loki said with a grin.

'I allowed you to stay here on the condition that you didn't try anything clever.' Tony said.

'I think the exact words were cause harm to someone. I'm not causing anyone harm so there's no problem.' Loki replied.

Tony sighed. Ever since Loki had appeared alongside Banner and Thor, along with the entire population of Asgard, he had been insufferable. Thor had made him promise not to cause any harm and to be fair to him he hadn't but that didn't mean anyone forgave him for what had happened before. It was only supposed to be until Thanos showed up and Thor and Tony both agreed that they needed everyone on bored to fight him. Now Loki wanted the entire team to watch a movie about Tony because he was 'bored'.

'Come on Tony, it can't be that bad.' Steve said. Always the bloody peacemaker.

'Besides. You were the one who locked down the compound.' Loki said, his grin widening.

'Fine.' He said, folding his arms and sitting on the sofa, 'I hate you reindeer games.'

Everyone sat down and Loki played the movie.

The movie begins with a black screen and Tony's voice is the first thing they heard. As he speaks, three iron man suits are blown up. 'A famous man once said, "We create our own demons ."Who said that? What does that even mean.'

'Wait. I never said that!' Tony protested.

'I put it into a movie format so forgive the voiceover.' Loki explained.

'Brilliant. Just brilliant.' Tony complained.

'Why are the suits being blown up? And why are there so many of them?' Steve asked, looking at Tony.

'That was an...interesting time.' Tony replied, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Steve frowned. Why did Tony look so uncomfortable? What could Loki possibly have found out?

'Doesn't matter. I said it because he said it. So, now, he was famous and it's basically getting said by two well-known guys. I don't, uh...' Tony sighs 'I'm going to start again. Let's track this from the beginning.'

Clint frowned. He had rarely seen Tony stutter. He was normally full of confidence.

The screen then goes black and the words '1999. Bern, Switzerland. New Years Eve.' flashes across the screen.

Tony's face went slack and he winced. 'Oh god. We do not need to see this.'

Rhodey frowned. He didn't remember that date. He wondered what could have happened.

The scene then cuts to a party and Tony is with a pretty young woman, called Maya Hanson, who blows a party blower at him and they both laugh. Tony's name badge has 'You Know Who I Am' written on it.

'Typical Tony Stark.' Scott said, rolling his eyes.

'I have changed a lot since then. I promise.' Tony said.

'Are you sure about that?' Rhodey asked, receiving a scowl in return.

'Half hour till the ball drops.' Happy warns, turning around from where he is standing nearby.

'Happy looks strange with long hair.' Clint said, with a smile.

'Hey, do you wanna...' Tony begins but he is interrupted by another guest who says 'Tony Stark? Great speech, man!'

'I got you, pal.' Happy says as he ushers the guy away.

'I gave a speech? How was it?' Tony asks.

'Edifying.' Happy replies.

'Unintelligible.' The woman adds.

'You gave a speech whilst drunk?' Thor questioned.

'I don't know why you're surprised.' Bruce replied.

'What's with all the Tony hate all of a sudden?' Tony wondered.

'Really? It's my favourite kind. A winning combo.' Tony says as he leads her through the party.

'Where are we going?'She asks, looking unsure.

'Uh, to town, on each other. Probably back in your room because I also want to see your research.' Tony says, confidently.

'Come on, we did not need to know that.' Sam said and everyone agreed.

'Okay, you can see my research, but that's...I'm not gonna show you my "town."' She replies.

'Mr Stark.' Yinsen turns away from the group of guests he is with and introduces himself. 'Ho Yinsen.'

Tony looks down with a frown. Everyone notices and looks confused.

'Who is he?' Natasha asks.

'Just...someone I met later...in Afghanistan.' Tony replied. For those who knew his history, that was enough to give a slight explaination as to where he knew this man from.

'Ah, I finally met a man called "Ho."' Tony says with a smile.

There was a slight chuckle at that.

'Come here.' Tony says as Maya attempts to escape.

Natasha and Wanda frowned. They were glad Tony had changed.

'I would like to introduce you to our guest, Dr Wu.' Yinsen says as he steers Tony towards another man.

'Oh, this guy. Hey.' Tony says, shaking the guy's hand.

'Mr Stark.' He replies.

'You're a heart doctor. She's going to need a cardiologist after I...' Tony says, then proceeding to make a noise on the party blower. The man looks very uncomfortable and Tony leads Maya away.

'Really Tony?' Bruce questioned.

'I know. I know. I wasn't as nice back then.' Tony replied, slightly agitatedly.

'Bye.' She says, sheepishly.

'Perhaps another time?' Yinsen comments, attempting to salvage the situation.

'It started in Bern, Switzerland. 1999. The old days.' Tony's voiceover continues as the screen shows Tony and Maya and a load of other people walking down the corridor towards a lift.

'Mr Stark!' A young blonde man with a walking stick and a limp tries to get Tony's attention.

'Wait. Is that Killian?' Rhodey questioned as he vaguely recognised him. Tony nodded.

'Who is he?' Wanda asked.

'You'll see.' Tony said, sharply. He was hating Loki more and more.

'I never thought they would come back to bite me. Why would they?' The voiceover continued.

The other avengers realised that mabye they didn't know as much about Tony as they thought.

'Oh, wow! Hey, Tony! Aldrich Killian. I'm a big fan of your work.' The young man introduces himself as he caught up with them.

'My work?' Maya asked.

'Who isn't? He means me.' Tony comments.

'A bit presumptuous, no?' Natasha said with a smile

'Well, of course, but, Ms Hansen, my organisation's been tracking your research since year two of MIT.' Killian continues as they enter the lift.

'You are so arrogant.' Steve said with a smile.

'Yeah, we're full.' Tony says as Killian is still outside the lift but Killian ducks in under Happy's arm 'Oh, wow, he made it. He made the cut.'

'Wow. He really wanted to talk to her.' Vision commented.

'What floor you going to, pal?' Happy asks.

'Well, now, that is an appropriate question. The ground floor, actually, of a proposal I'm putting together myself. It's a privately funded think tank called Advanced Idea Mechanics.' Killian replies, and he hands Maya two business cards.

'Uh...She'll take both.' Tony says, taking two and keeping one for himself. 'One to throw away and one to not call.'

'"Advanced Idea Mechanics" or "AIM," for short. Do you get it?' Killian asks.

'I see that, because it's on your T-shirt.' Tony says, patronisingly.

'Aw!' Killian replies. The lift then opens and everyone files out.

'Ladies, follow the mullet. Ladies first.' Tony says.

'Thank you, I'll call you.' Maya says to Killian as she exits the lift.

'I'm titillated by the notion of working with you.' Tony says.

'Yeah?' Killian replies, hopefully.

'I'll ditch these clowns. I'll see you up on the roof in five minutes. Just gonna try and get my beak wet real quick. You know what I'm talking about?' Tony says as he exits.

'I'll see you up there.' Killian replies as the lift closes.

'Damn betcha.' Tony says as he walks away.

'Let me guess. You never went.' Steve asked.

'Nope' Tony replied.
