Even though that you were a cold and calculate bastard when you were alive, dad. You are still my father and I love you. Mom, I remember you as a kind-hearted, beautiful and wonderful mom. Who took good care of me when I was ill and cheer me up when I was sad. I love you always and keep you both a special place in my heart" Christopher said to the headstones.

"Christopher, wait!"

*Bedroom*
Groan

Tony slowly opened his eyes to see a woman lying asleep next to him in bed with a bottle on the bedside table.
He went and put his hand on the top blanket and lifted it up, seeing that the two of them are naked.
Tony smirked before placing the blanket down, "Hey Jarvis" he called as the man slowly sits up.

"Yes sir?"

"What time is it?" Tony asked with a yawn

"Ten o'clock, sir"

The man turned his head to look at the woman for a moment.
"Jarvis" Tony said.

"What is it, sir?"

"I will be getting ready for work, Jarvis. When this woman wakes up, show her the way out" Tony instructed as he went and picked up his clothes.

"Of course, sir"

*Stark Mansion*

*Lab*
Door Open

Sarah entered the lab, balancing a tray of two cups of coffee to see Christopher working behind his desk.

"Hello Sarah"

Sarah instantly jumped, but had to quickly balance the tray of drinks.
Making sure they don't fall or spill.

Chuckle

"Christopher, can you please stop doing that" Sarah tells him as she went and walked up to the desk.
"One of these days you going to give me a heart attack" Sarah stated shaking her head.
"Sorry, but I just can't help it. I like doing it, and I'm not going to change that any time soon" Christopher tells her with a smirk.
"Here you go" Sarah said as she handed him his coffee.
"Thank you" Christopher tells her and accepted the cup.
"Maybe, I don't know, tone it down a bit" Sarah suggested, placing the tray onto the desk as Christopher sip on his coffee.
"for me" Sarah finishes.
"Deal" Christopher tells her and the two kiss each other on the lips.
The two pulled away, "The people from the meeting called me on the phone" Sarah stated.
"I see" Christopher said as he gets back to work.
"Saying that they have tried to contact you, but I told them..." Sarah said until Christopher cuts in.
"I let it go to voice message on purpose" Christopher admitted.
"But sir, they have been trying to reach you all week" Sarah protested.
"Well. If it's going to take one or more weeks for them to listen or agree, then it will go straight for voice message" Christopher tells her.

Sigh

"I'm sorry, Sarah. I have tried to explain to him"

"It's alright, Friday. You tried your best" Sarah assures the artificially intelligent system.
Sarah then notice something, "What are you making?" Sarah questioned.

"An medical scanner" Christopher stated.
"What does it do?" Sarah asked.
"It's a device that will scan blood samples for toxins" Christopher explains to her.
"That's a good invention" Sarah tells him.
"It will help emergency service to find the victim effected wofj toxins" Sarah said.
"Once I am done with creating the device and testing itto make it work we can put it onto the market. But till then, it stays here" Christopher tells her.
"Unlike my late father, you praise my work" Christopher stated as he look at the picture in a frame on the desk.
"Christopher, he would have been proud of you" Sarah tells him.
"No, he wouldn't" Christopher disagreed, brushing the compliment off.
Christopher went and takes off his glasses off his face.
"He was a cold and calculate man who wanted to get rid of us" Christopher stated.

"Chris..."

"Happiest day was whn my father sent my older brother off to boarding school. He was going to send me off too when I was oldest" Christopher tells her.
"Maybe your father has a strange way of showing it" Sarah suggested as Christopher went and gets out a couple of blueprint.
"He has a funny way of showing it" Christopher sarcastically said.
"If you don't love him very much..." Sarah started to say.
"how come you have that around your neck" she said, pointing to the key attached to a necklace around his neck.

"...."

"Exactly" Sarah said with a smile in success.

"If I can say something, ma'am..."

"What is it, Friday?" Sarah asked.

"Mr Stark kept the key all these years, hoping to find what it goes to"

"Friday..." Christopher warned.
"Christopher..." Sarah begin to say and gently grab his hand.
"I get it, you scared..." Sarah started to say.
"You scare of what you might have discover after all these years with the help of that key. You fear you get more disappointment than answers" Sarah tells him.

"...."

"Yes...it true" Christopher admitted and turned to look at her.
"I thought it would be a waste of time, Sarah. I thought there will be nothing there to discover" Christopher said to her.

"...."

"Friday. Where does this key go to?" Sarah asked.

"It seems its opens the locked drawer of Christopher father old desk"

Christopher turned his head and looked at an old desk in the corner of the room.
"Is that..." Sarah began to say.
"my father old desk" Christopher finishes as he went around his desk and over to it with Sarah following behind.
"This was your father?" she asked.
"It was one of the things that was given to me in the will when my father passed away" Christopher informed.
"Why didn't your father give it to your older brother?" Sarah questioned.
"I have no idea" Christopher answered as he removed the key from around his neck.
"I refused to use it. That desk is one of the things that reminded me of my father" he stated.
"It's okay. I'm here" Sarah assures him and he nodded his head.
Christopher went and inserted the lock drawer with the key.

Click!

Christopher hesitant for a moment...before he went and pulled out the drawer.
The two looked to see thick, manilla folders lying horizontally inside the drawer.
Christopher and Sarah gets out all of the folders inside, putting them onto the desk.
The two began to look through them, "Christopher. Take a look at this"
Sarah handed him a folder, Project Avenger
Christopher went and opened the folder, started to look through it.

A idea where we bring together a group of remarkable people and when we needed them, they could fight the battles they we never could.

"It looks like your father was in middle of a special project" Sarah stated.

Looking for extraordinary invidual, either with superpowers or other special characteristics.

"L-Like me" Christopher whispered with a mix of shock, confusion and surprise.
"I don't believe this" Christopher said in disbelief as he looked through the files, seeing the different cases that his father had written up.
"Chris..." Sarah started to say as she put her hand on his.

"There are others like me, a lot of people in these folders. People who could do extraordinary things" Christopher stated.
"Your father wanted to find and recruit them into his project" Sarah said to him.

Purpose:
°Protect global stability from inner or extraterrestrial threats.
°Protect Earth from various dangerous threats.

"According to this, the idea never surface" Sarah pointed out.
"It because my father passed away" Christopher remarked.
"No one never knew about this. So these files were kept in this desk, hidden from the world and abandoned" Christopher tells her.

"Wait a minute"

"This project can resurfaces" Sarah stated.
"Huh?" Christopher asked, looking at her in confusion.
"You can follow your late father footsteps. You can reactive the project and continue his work" Sarah explains to him.
"Why would I do that? Me and my father never got along when he was alive" Christopher questioned.
"Because this is just what you need" Sarah stated.
"You were saying in the meeting you wanted to find a solution to these security problems, this is it. This is the opportunity you have been looking for" Sarah explained.
"You have a chance to become a part of something much bigger, a brighter future" she tells him.

..... ..... .....

Christopher turned and looked at Sarah, "Let's do this"
