Liam had returo New York along with Tony and his team which basically epper, Happy and Yihe Stark Tower was finally built and ready to provide energy to the city. And the great thing about this eology was they didn't o repce the old distribution and just o have a different source of energy.

  Though Marvel didn't have any hands in this new project, because of Marvel's shares on Stark Industries, Marvel just got richer. Also Marvel had also received many orders on the shield teology and had started the produ. Pepper was mostly responsible for this and had been spear heading.

  Since Liam was back at home, his mother was very happy since he was in New York and could still do his internship or whatever it was. His parents were very proud of him, not knowing that their son had literally fought aliens a few days ago. SHIELD was able to keep it under s sihey had evacuated the town before on the false news of gas leak.

  So it was a win win situation for everyone.

  Few days ter.

  "The things you ordered are ready." Tony messaged Liam who was in his bcksmith warehouse hammering away.

  "I will be there." Liam replied. It was early m so Liam just drove towards the Stark Tower. As Liam pulled up near Stark Tower, the sleek, newly structed skyscraper gleamed uhe m sun.

  Liam parked his car and made his way inside, where Happy gave him a nod before letting him through.

  Taking the elevator up, Liam stepped into the familiar workshop where Tony was already tinkering with something on his workbench. Yiood nearby, reading data off a tablet, while Pepper was on a call, most likely handling business for both Stark Industries and Marvel.

  "Ah, the man of mystery arrives. I was starting to think you'd gone all medieval on me, making swords and armor instead of showing up for your tech." Tony said.

  "Hey, sometimes old-school craftsmanship beats your fancy gadgets."

  "These are your little toys," Tony said, gesturing at them.

  "Did you gh the blueprint?" Liam asked.

  "Yeah. I have made specific items to bloy kind of signal both wired and wireless."

  "Then call Natasha." Liam said. "Off the grid. Not even SHIELD know."

  A moment ter, Natasha's face appeared on the s.

  "Liam," she greeted. "This is ued."

  "Yeah," Liam said. "But necessary. I need you, Barton, and Fury to meet me. Camp Lehigh. 10 pm sharp. And I need you to get there without anyone knowing. No SHIELD, no spouses. No one."

  "That's a tall order."

  "I know," Liam said. "But trust me—it's important."

  "Alright. I'll let Barton know. Fury might be harder to vince."

  "I know you will be able to vince him." Liam said.

  Nightfall – Camp Lehigh

  The abandoned military base was shrouded in darkness, the only sounds ing from the rustling trees and the occasional distant cry of wildlife. The night sky stretched wide above them, clear and cold. Liam stood near an old watchtower.

  One by ohey arrived. Natasha and Bartohe first to slip in, moving like ghosts through the ruins. They barely made a sound as they stepped into the designated meeting spot.

  "Not bad," Liam muttered as they approached.

  "Secrecy is kind of our thing," Natasha said

  "Still feels weird sneaking away from SHIELD like this." Barton said

  A few mier, a sleek bck SUV rolled in with its lights off. It came to a stop a short distance away, and Nick Fury stepped out, his long coat flowing as he sed the perimeter.

  "If I get killed because of this stunt, I'm haunting you," he told Liam.

  "Duly noted," Liam replied dryly. Liam didn't e alohough. Tony had also arrived though he took a different route, thanks to the paranoia of Liam.

  "Not gonna lie, sneaking around i meetings makes me feel like I should be wearing a trench coat." Tony said as he emerged from the side of Liam.

  "Please don't," Barton deadpanned.

  A moment ter, another vehicle approached - a very old Chevrolet. The doors opened, and out stepped someone no one expected.

  Steve Rogers.

  After the war against the Frost Giants, Fury had decred that Steve Rogers had been found and he was alive and well, and supposedly joining their team. This didly surprise Liam as he was supposed to be found, but it did shake the other team members as they never expected and old man to e back to life.

  "You've got to be kidding me." Barton blinked.

  "Well, this is a plot twist." Tony said.

  "Fury, this little sneak move of yours might backfire." Liam said as he already guessed why Fury called Steve. Fury was also a paranoid man, and so he brought Steve Rogers as ara security against an ambush. Though Liam hadn't said anything, Fury took precautions.

  "You got a problem with Rogers being here?" Fury raised a brow.

  "Not a problem. Just saying you might have just tipped your hand a little too soon."

  Fury frow that, clearly not liking the idea that he might have miscalcuted something. But before he could push the issue further, Tony stepped up, eyeing Steve with curiosity.

  "So, you're the famous Capsicle," Tony said, smirking. "How's it feel waking up in the 21st tury?"

  "A bit overwhelming. Especially when I am back at the same pce where I was trained." Steve said as he looked at the abandoned military base, which had nothing but thick bushes and untable is.

  By this time Tony had already done his magid had isoted the pce from the outside world. They looked at Liam for further instrus and though Rogers had read the reports on Liam after he was awake and found it unbelievable, only believing after he had seen the footage, he was not happy with the fact that a young kid, who was supposed to enjoy his childhood was carrying so much of a burden.
