Chapter Text
“I’ve got nothing to say to you cap, your friend doesn’t belong here. He’s a killing machine. He killed my mom.”
“Tony you have no idea about what I’m going to tell you.”
Tony got up out of his seat and walked over to Steve
“Oh yeah? What’s that then cap cause I’d love to hear it”
This was it, Steve was going to tell Tony everything. How Bucky carried him, gave birth to him.
“Well it’s really complicated and I don’t think you’re going to believe me, no matter what I say”
Tony looked confused “who knows? I could believe you. So enlighten me on this news you have cap, cause I’m just dying to hear it”
Well here goes nothing Steve thought “Have you ever noticed something about your appearance Tony?”
Tony sighed “oh so now we’re focusing on my looks, I must admit I am pretty good looking. But come on cap what are you on about?”
“I’m just saying you look nothing like Howard or Maria”
Tony walked over to a mirror he had in the office, now that Steve had mentioned that he didn’t see his dad or his mom in his face. Why was he just realising this now?
“So, what’s your point?”
“My point is Tony, is that Howard and Maria weren’t your real parents”
Tony’s blood ran cold, was this true, or was Steve just playing around. How could he when his psychopath of a friend killed his mom.
“This better not be a sick twisted joke Steve, you know I just found out about my mom being killed by an assassin”
Steve sighed “they’re not your real parents, because me and Bucky are”
Did Tony just hear correctly, was Steve saying that he was his father. No, no this was some stupid not funny joke.
“You’re mad cap, have you finally lost it after all this time?”
“Tony I’m serious, you look nothing like Howard and Maria. You have Bucky’s eyes for crying out loud! You a similar jaw line to me!”
Tony wasn’t hearing correctly, everything was going fuzzy. He looked in the mirror again and Steve was right.
“So...what you’re saying is...you’re my dad...”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying Tony, I got Bucky pregnant during the war, we shared a bunk together, I helped him give birth to you. I held you in my arms. But then the mission came along, and I couldn’t risk you getting hurt, so me and Bucky both agreed we would give you to Howard and he would raise you as his own, it sure did break our hearts thinking we’d never see you again”
Tony was stunned, he had hit his own birth dad. He had wanted to kill his own blood. Tony wanted to do a DNA test just to make sure. But everything was adding up inside his head.
“Bucky gave birth to me...?”
“Yes Tony, I helped him. It was a long and painful birth but you were both fine.”
“Sorry Steve I mean uh...dad this is just a lot to process. I wouldn’t have believed you at first but the whole situation with Howard, it’s just falling into place”
“I mean we can do a DNA test to put your mind at ease if thats what you want.”
“Yeah that would be great”
Bucky had entered the room behind Steve, Bruce was shocked to say the least but now that he was properly looking at Tony he could see the resemblance
Tony watched Bucky walk in, his birth dad.
They all waited for the results in complete silence. Bucky and Steve didn’t know what to say. And Tony was just shocked to say the least.
“Well I’ll be damned”
“what is it?”
“Tony you’re Bucky and Steve’s biological son”
Bucky was nervous, he was nervous around his own son.
“So uh...hi dads”
This was awkward for everyone, but especially Bucky. Him and Tony hadn’t had the best of starts.
Bucky came closer “I uh...just wanted to say I’m sorry. You know for everything”
Tony looked into Bucky’s eyes, “well I mean things have changed now haven’t they? They weren’t my parents. You and Steve are. And well you were brainwashed right? Like you didn’t know what you were doing, sure I’m a bit sad that they died that way but like it couldn’t be helped I guess”
“Yeah I was, for 70 years, I’m just glad they never found out about you, the stuff they would’ve done”
“So do you...like have any pictures of me?”
Steve had a few pictures of Tony back in his apartment. “Yeah I have actually, one while Bucky was pregnant with you, and a few of you as a newborn”
Tony wanted to see them, he’d missed out on having parents. Well Maria did love him, but he didn’t have that bond.
“Would it be okay if I like...saw them?”
Steve smiled “sure, the change of heart eh?”
“Look um dad, finding about all of this, is kinda heart changing”
Bucky still didn’t know what to say, he didn’t want to say something wrong.
“Steve you still have those pictures?”
“Sure I do, I wasn’t gonna let Howard keep everything we had. I wanted to at least keep something”
That was another thing, Howard and Maria never really had any newborn pictures of Tony and he found that odd, he had some pictures of him growing up but none of him being really tiny.
“Look I’m just gonna say this now, there’s a lot of history here and we can’t change the past, but look dads, man I’m still getting used to that. But we can change our future.”
Bucky and Steve both smiled “sure we can”
