For once it felt peaceful these last few years had been hard, Tony had been doing everything he could to try and survive as he took a walk down one of the New York City streets. The Avengers were busy with their work it seemed with their own tower. He couldn’t help but wonder at the differences that this universe had compared to the one that he had been. Besides the big and obvious one named Ultron, he knew that this world had yet to see that threat and he hoped that it wouldn’t come to something like that any time soon.
“At least everything seems fine here.” He said carrying what looked like a suit case in his hands. Tony had started to set up shop in an unusual place in Europe. He figured if he did come across himself here it’d be noticeable and probably awkward at the same time. But he came out mostly to get some fresh air. That was something that he realized most humans here and super powered members probably took for granted. “And the Avengers are still standing too.” He pointed out noticing the tower.
It wasn’t long before he arrived at Central Park. There were a handful of people there, since it was so busy there and people were probably busy at work. “Jacosta what’s the temperature out here today?” Tony asked knowing his AI would be able to handle looking it up or measuring it herself.
“It’s partially cloudy and the temperature is 60 degrees, that’s pretty warm for spring sir.” Jacosta explained as the AI woman completed Tony’s request.
“Thanks Jacosta, I know I can count on you often.” He said with a sigh wondering if out of all of these humans he’d be able to at least befriend one of them. But as he remembered his days in New York the New Yorkers were loud rude and obnoxious and it was clear things hadn’t changed here. He sat down on the park bench and took out a laptop it seemed that he was looking up information on the Avengers. At least to see who was on the team and to see if there was anything he could possibly do. So far there hardly seemed like there was n't much he could do. And the only option as much as he hated to say it was to join the Avengers. But he knew if he did that, things could be set in motion for them again and he didn’t want to see that horrible fate happening again.
"But the next problem, is I don't even think I'll be able to come up with a Plan B." He said with worry in his voice but he didn't seem to notice if there were any prying eyes on him if someone was watching, they'd probably notice he was a little odd looking being there.

Jamie was sitting there at a bench reading Carrie in hold hand and sipping a Guava strawberry smoothie another she just enjoying her peace and quiet without any worry in the world. The day had been going pretty well there wasn't anything happening that she needed to concern herself.The woman was actually careful not to attract too much attention to herself since she is a publicly known Rockstar.The pressure of having to balance two lives was kind of hard on her but she managed to do so. The hero part of her was first priority and was the one thing she took really seriously.The life of being hero was something she was passionate about and will make every excuse to help someone who needed no matter if she was in the middle of her show or not.When she's not doing her gigs or hero work she usually found doing what is now or training her skills or something.
She just hoped that she would be left alone today mostly hoping that her fans won't bug her for autograph mostly because her hands were killing her because she just got done signing a ton of them.She didn't notice the strange guy just feet in front of because of being so in tuned to her book unless he caused trouble she isn't going to react to anything he does at moment.

Tony didn’t really know how good he had it until he was forced to serve under Ultron. He was rich, famous, and not to mention he had been a part of the Avengers. But here he literally felt like he had nothing. He had no place to call home except for that tiny out post out in the middle of a frozen over part in Europe that he hunkered down in. He knew if he came across the Tony in this time it might seriously mess things up for the both of them. But he knew if he did things might as well happen sooner or later, he’d run into himself here at the same time. It might not be the same Stark Industries, but it was as up to date and as modern as he would’ve liked it with his equipment. After all, Tony was a futurist.
Regardless of who was alive or not, Tony knew there were a lot of differences in this world. He looked up at one point as his blue eyes looked around at how everyone was enjoying a peaceful day. He’d give anything to have something like this. But the Extremis Virus was a constant reminder of what Ultron did to him to torture him alive from the inside out. As he looked around he noticed how one woman stood out from the rest. She may have been trying to be low key like him, but he couldn’t help but have this odd feeling that he knew her. Maybe he had seen her in his timeline before things got out of hand?
Well there was only one way to find out.
Sighing, he felt himself feel uncomfortable but he held it back. He closed his laptop knowing it was now or never, he was going to ask this woman. “I don’t mean to intrude but can I talk for a bit…you’ve probably heard of my name before, Tony Stark.” He said wondering how this woman would think of this. “But here’s one thing you might not believe…I’m not from this reality.” He said half hoping that she’d believe him.

Jamie looked up from her book as hear a man's voice it was a this guy who talking about Tony Stark a man she only heard of on the news but not the pleasure of knowing him.She was actually willing to believe everything with the stuff she experienced as responds to him with nod " it quite alright sir , Yes i heard of him in fact you kind of look just like him "She was interested she had no clue that where he came a different version of herself was killed by this being known as Ultron by being shot to death while trying to save him. The fact was it was a failure.The other reality Flameshadow was similar except to the fact that she had more sober way of acting to this one's The way he was looking at her was as if he knew her somehow but that was impossible right.
She noticed his pause as if he had something else to say. The next thing he said made her blink in confusion she had at least heard of other realities.She waited for him to finish what he was saying and took it in more without saying a word took him by the arm and dragged him where there no one to hear them " Actually Mr. Stark ...I believe ..you you heard of Flameshadow right and The Avengers but tell me what reality and how did you get here "She decided to allow him to know her identity even though this wasn't a good idea since anything could happen. She was seriously looking him in the eyes because she was ready to see if he truly knew something.The guy did look out of place since this reality's Tony Stark was elsewhere right now.She was doing something really crazy right now which could get her in deep trouble or worst.

So she did know who she was and if by chance there was a Tony Stark in this reality he knew the chances of meeting him increased day by day with him staying in New York. Maybe it was better that he lived in Europe in that tiny little home that he made. And probably could increase it when he was up for it, but right now he needed to focus on right here and now. This current time, he knew that this woman seemed to understand at least some of it but he was worried how she’d take things right now.
“That’s good; apparently my name has gotten around.” Tony said not surprised that his self here probably was no different, at least being the play boy billionaire.
“I’m almost hesitant to tell you exactly everything but you need to know what happened.” Tony said as he rolled up his sleeves showing the heat glowing areas from his Extremis Virus. “I’m from a reality that once mirrored this one. But things changed when Ultron came about. He quickly took down forces and heroes, believing that we humans were the inferior race and he wanted robots and machines to take control of things. And he almost did. Many heroes died in battle or got captured. I was one of those who got captured, and served to work under Ultron, but no matter how many times I refused things got worse and he injected me with something called the Extremis Virus. It does have its good sides, but every day I get reminded of what he did.” He said as he paused for a bit.
“I came through a machine that I thought would go through time so I could change things in the past. But it really sent me through a different time and it had a one-time use. I probably couldn’t rebuild it again if I tried it was complicated. I hope that answers everything…” Tony said as he realized he might’ve forgotten a thing or two.
“But as for Flame shadow, I knew that name rang a bell…you unfortunately died in my time as well, I’m sorry for that bad news.” He said clenching his fists feeling the regret and guilt. He knew she wouldn’t like that bad news. “I will say one thing; it’s almost a comforting thought to see other realities are at least far more decent than mine was.” He said trying to hold back tears but it was tough not too. And he knew if he did it here, it was going to look odd, so he held back with all of his might not to do something like that in front of someone he didn’t know.

Jamie just listened to his answer to his question with a straight face she was staying quiet not wanting to miss anything he was sharing with her.She then looked towards the glowing on his arms and back to his.She wasn't going to make him explain about the virus instead she just kept quiet and allowed him to tell her his story.She wasn't the one to ask question farther then she needed she had gotten The information she wanted and she was happy with it.
Jamie just sighed when she heard that she died in his universe and stared at him as he looked like it was really breaking him up inside so she decided to pull him close her into a hug.She didn't want him to think she was some heartless soul but it was also breaking her heart to know what happened to him.She then responds to him with her voice also cracked " i am sure if i was any close to you I would tried Rescue you ...and probably if had met that fate it's alright you can cry if you want " She knew this Flameshadow if she was anything like herself probably died trying to save her friend which was what she would have done if she was that position.
She was going let him cry on her shoulder if he wanted even she just met this guy she already felt a connection with him somehow.She wasn't going to let anything happen to Tony right now he was in pain and regret right now and needed someone more then ever. She didn't know how she was in his reality but she was sure she was pretty much the same person she is in this universe.She just silently looked towards him and smoothed his right shoulder with her hand.

That honestly surprised him that someone, almost a total stranger...well not quite...things got complicated again. Jamie was a stranger in this time since he felt like he barely knew her. However he did know her in his time, and she was gone. No matter what he did he could never bring her back...none of the other heroes could ever come back. Tony looked up at Jamie as she pulled him in tight for a hug, he'd never admit it but he really did feel like he needed a hug right here, and it seemed to be helping a whole lot.
He didn't even cry all that much either but he knew letting it out was better than bottling it up. Eventually he managed to stop as he looked back up at Jamie, wiping his face a bit. "Thanks Jamie it meant a lot to me. That hug, I haven't felt something like that in a long time...years maybe. But yes you were very noble, loyal and brave, I think you might've even matched this time line." He said wiping his eyes on his sleeve. Even Jacosta was there as she checked his heart rate to make sure he was alright, it was a bit high, probably from so much anxiety as he thought about it...Tony needed to relax...no he needed someone to talk to at this point and she thought Jamie was probably the best choice at this point.
"Jamie if our time is short here, I wanted to invite you to my home in Europe. I know if I stay around here for too long, my self in this time might notice my presence. I don't really want to get mixed up...even if it is my own business, sort of. I think staying away as far as possible is the best choice for now." He said hoping that Jamie would understand."It's just outside the town called Hanover, Germany." He said knowing she might have trouble finding it, but it was the best he could do for now.

Jamie held him what seemed like a while she knew that he needed this she would want someone to do this for her. She wasn't going to ask him any more about what happened knowing it was kind of hard subject for him. She just listened to and the smiled she was really happy to know that she was the same she is in this universe it what made her feel great. She hoped that she could get as close to him as she possibly was right now and that might just happen right about now.
Jamie nodded little bit as he invited her to see him in his home in Europe it sounded like a good idea anyway not only because she wanted to to know him it's because she was actually planning go on tour there anyway. She then placed her hand on his shoulder " I understand and of course i will com..." there was a gunshot behind to point where she had to quickly tackle Tony to ground to protect him from getting shot . There was very insane looking man behind wearing what looks a homemade with blocky Phoenix Blaze what looks like was interrupted by the shouting" PHENIOX IS MINE YOU CAN'T HAVE HEEER!!!!!!! " He jerked Jamie by the hair before could get up has her in a headlock.

Tony grunted as he felt his body hit the ground, he hadn't been shoved like that in a while and it surprised him at how tough she was. The gunshots were loud, and Jacosta activated, registering on him that his heart beat was starting to go up again. "Sir is everything alright?" Jacosta asked as Tony sighed.
"No, activate my Iron Knight armor, Jacosta. I'm not taking some crazy guy lightly who has a gun with him." Tony said as Jacosta seemed to listen as his armor quickly suited up around him. It wasn't long before it reached around his body and encased him. The familiar red and yellow suit came around him in a matter of seconds. It had been a long time since he had been in this armor of his, but he knew it was for a good reason.
"Heay buddy, let go of her! She doesn't need to be controlled by anyone. Especially a crazed fan!" Tony said as he put his hand down on the man's hand. He felt his Extremis virus starting to go into over drive as he heated up the area around his hands hoping to try and burn the guy. Tony felt as if this was deserved and he knew the burns may hurt, but they would gradually go away. It wasn't like he was giving them third degree burns or anything. He also knew that Jamie might feel the heat too but he didn't want her to get hurt in the process.

She didn't want to hurt the guy despite him deserving it the guy had her gripped tight he was nearly strangling her was holding her of the ground.The man wasn't paying attention to the sudden appearance of the armored clad hero at moment he was shoving her with his gun to her back.He suddenly turned as he heard a voice shout at him to let her go " Stay Back or will Kill her dead right now no one will have her but meeee AHHHH " He screamed dropped her he burned his arm that was hold making fall the ground. Jamie was immune to the heat but she felt the warm as she scrambled quickly away trying to get away quickly. Jamie was actually really frightened because his can turn really bad really quickly since this kind of thing has happened to her but last the it wasn't as bad since their were plenty means of protection like guards.
Jamie was having extreme anxiety attack because she didn't want anyone to protect her since she didn't want people to get hurt because of her.She then suddenly threw off her jacket and took out her goggles and pressed a button them so they covered her face.She had forgotten that Tony knew she was Flameshadow but also the fan didn't so she wanted to protect her identity.The guy looked towards his arms was red looked up towards him " You bastard I won't let freaks like get away with that " He was so angry that he suddenly aggressively charged at him with a punch and kick towards his his body started to shoot at him despite the pain he was. Flameshadow suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted flipping him to ground.

"Freak? I use this armor to protect myself and others. You're the crazed one holding the machine gun." Tony said noticing that Flameshadow had suddenly appeared as she grabbed the guy's burned arm and flipped him over. This had gotten rather dramatic pretty fast, and Tony knew if Flameshadow stayed here things would only get worse. "You've got any place to stay after this, Flameshadow? I'd suggest staying there for awhile so you're at least safe." Tony said. "Unfortunately I don't think I'd be able to come with you." He added knowing his own verison of himself in this world might be spotted. And he didn't want that to happen.
"Now as for you, kid I'd suggest you high tail out of here while you still have the chance. I mean it!" Tony said as he had the palms of his Iron Knight armor open and pointed towards him ready to fire the repulsor weapons. "I'm giving you on the count of three before I blast you to bits." He said though he had really meant it to be scary or make the guy run the other way.
"One..." Tony began to count down as the repulsors began to light up, they were hot, but he was able to handle the heat thanks to his Extremis virus. And then came the next number. "two...." And with a pause, he fired a repulsor blast awfully close towards the guy intentionally missing Jamie and the fan. The next one he would make sure would hit the target if he tried anything. "And here comes the last one!" He said noticing the giant crack on the ground that his armor had left and it was still steaming a bit from the power that the repulsor energy had. His right hand lit up once more as he prepared to fire the second round. This had sometimes worked in the prison, but he wasn't sure if it was going to work here.

The guy's eyes suddenly widen as he as he was blasted suddenly right before he got to three he runs in fright as another blast went at his feet. Jamie just watch the guy run away from and looked towards him as he asked if she had somewhere to stay " of course ...I.....sorry i have to take this ..." She was about to finish her sentence went her communicator went off and she took out her card as she went to the and looked towards it it was a mission alert.She knew that she had to answer that quickly and soon as possbile since those things are usually very important.
She then answered as she spoke into it and sighed she would have to explain what happened here later " Alright I will be right there " She then looked towards Tony and sighed " Sorry Tony I got to go back to Avenger Tower ...there is important business and thanks for save me by the way " She then pulled him into hug the heat from the suit didn't even hurt as she kissed and then she took out her hoverboard and jumps on and then goes back towards the Tower in fast speed.
