Work had just piled up as Tony had filled or signed what he had to that morning. The morning went by so fast he felt like his head was spinning and that wasn't so much fun after all. Still he wondered when he'd get a break in the last couple of days since every day had been like this. In fact Pepper had banged on his door once or twice to remind him what time it was-he had often gotten so side tracked that he had forgotten to eat which was always a bad thing for him. He would loose weight get sick and wind up in the hospital. He'd make Pepper and the others worry which he didn't want to happen. still the effects of being locked up almost all day were starting to dwindle on the intelligent man. As he sat staring at the remaining work Tony couldn't help but look out side and wonder. Did he need a breath of fresh air? He could probably hear Pepper talking to him about that, and maybe that was what had convinced him in the first place
"Maybe what I do need is a breath of fresh air. I'll get my suit and go out for a flight." He said as he quickly grabbed his card to lock his office. Only so Pepper or his trusted Avengers go in, Steve Rodgers being one of them. Otherwise the place was pretty much off limits. Then he began to head to the elevator and went down to the armory. He quickly started up his suit and got into it as well. Once he was finished a part of the cieling opened up and Tony few out through to the entrance and out of the building. It felt great to be out side again where he could be free even if it was temporary it was better than nothing. "That's much better. And as usual New York looks beautiful." Tony added as he saw the big apple in its glory. There were many things in New York but of course with Tony's ego it was no surprise that he thought his work and genius attributed to some of it.
However that was when Tony turned when he spotted someone on his radar that had been put up on his screen. There was something that appeared and he had assumed it was a human the way it was walking so fast. "Who is it?" He asked trying to stay in a calm voice at the same time seeing that it was likely an ally. There was no reason to use violence here. This area was always friendly and safe-at least not when a villain was around.

Tony wasn't the only one out and about on a nice day. In fact, he wasn't the only flier about as a young man soared over his new home, least in the last few years it was. Jacob was of British origins, having come to settle in New York since he had at least found some solace in knowing he could be in one town where he didn't have to hide his wings or wouldn't be rejected outright. He was among his own kind most of the time unless he joined the Dark Avengers at their tower, something of recent work that he had come to join.
That day though, young Jacob Williams was out for a leisurely flight, having wanting to get outside for a while instead of remaining inside where he felt restless when not in the air or keeping his wings up in the harness to hide them when he was walking around or at school. Today he didn't have classes and the Dark Avengers hadn't called him for anything so he took the chance he could get. Of course, he was in civilian clothing for the time being, not wanting to attract attention because of his status as a enemy to the Avengers, making him likely to stand out like a sore thumb. So instead, he enjoyed the wind going through his wings and on his body, taking a deep breathe of the air despite it being a little polluted but nothing major. He had suffered through worse and that was saying something since it was such a big deal these days.
Though the sound of the slight robotic voice of Tony caught him by surprise, making the young man turn form where he heard it and realizing he was not far from the iron Avenger. But considering the Dark Avengers were only a rumor and their members unknown in identity Jacob was confident Tony wouldn't even inquire about who he was much. "Uh sorry about that Mr.Stark, I was just out for a flight. One gets pretty restless when they are built for flying, but guess you'd know that too."He said with a small laugh as he flew closer and likely would have surprised Tony when he discovered who he really was.

"It's alright I was stuck in my own office for a couple of days. And I needed the fresh air badly." Tony said as he looked over the young man seeing his wings. One thing was for sure both of them preferred not to be locked up, even though he had a massive problem of it when he was inventing things. Oh well some things just simply can't be helped for that matter.For this it seemed like it was nothing new. "Wait a minute who are you again? I apologize usually my memory isn't that bad." He said fearing that his old age might be catching up to him. It wasn't like for Tony to mess up names or miss them but being he had only seen Jacob once or twice he hadn't gotten a chance to introduce himself, nor had Jacob for that matter.
A bit of silence fell between the older Avenger as he seemed to be thinking on what to do. He could've told the kid to scram and not to come back. But that would've been rude, it wasn't like Tony to be rude for that matter in front of someone unless he extremely hated someone. It wasn't this case for this person at all. Then a thought came to mind as he looked back at the boy seeing that he could show some random act of kindness to him.
"Either way maybe you could keep me company while we flew? I didn't have any planned trip really just to see how New York was doing." He offered seeing that the young man was out doing the exact same thing he was doing. And keeping him company didn't sound that bad it was offering a chance to be together with a younger hero-at least that was what he thought with the young man. Tony would've done the same if it was a young Avenger, they'd get the taste of what it was like being a hero.

"Heh, I've been locked in my apartment a lot so I needed time to stretch my wings. Can't stand being inside for too long without doing so." Jacob told him, chuckling a little since it was clear he indeed love to fly and he hated being cooped up for long periods of time and enclosed spaces weren't exactly his friend. Though he shook his head, "We've never met before actually Mr.Stark. My name is Jacob Williams, just a college student going into Robotics and Technology." He introduced.
And little did Tony know Jacob had every intention of using that to improve things for the Dark Avengers eventually and maybe even his own personal suit since he wanted to be known as "War Eagle" for a reason. And Tony's sudden offer seemed the perfect opportunity to know more about this man and the Avengers. This could be especially said for the likes of the new A-next team that had come around recently.
"SUre, I wouldn't mind joining you. After all, it is a beautiful day out." Jacob said as he flew in a backwards loop showing he was quite skilled, though Tony likely could pick up his British accent, something he was slowly losing the longer he stayed in the United States.

"I don't blame you for that sometimes my fiance has tried to pull me out, and lock the doors on me when I often forget what day it is down there." Tony said knowing it had happened more than once. Especially if Tony had often gotten hooked on working new inventions. It had happened more than once and he knew that one of these days he'd regret staying down there. For the record it had been at least a week that he had stayed there, bringing his meals to him or he had just forgotten about eating. Sometimes Jarvis even knew that this was bad for him, but how else was he suppose to beat the other companies and keep up with the competition? If anything they were hardly competition in his eyes.
He nodded understanding that area was starting to grow and it'd be aperfect degree for Jacob, "Good we need more people in that area in order to help the advancement in technology." He added knowing Tony had his own degrees in different fields.
"Alright here it goes. Off on three, two, one!" Tony said as he started up the afterburners on his suit as they charged up. The heat and after particles of the flames were seen on his back as his armor started to come to life again as he shot off into the sky. Since he wanted a flight he was going to get one, and so was Jacob for that matter. Though it seemed like going 180 miles an hour wasn't enough. But he wanted to see what Jacob could do with his own abilities. It was something he had done with watching the Young Avengers as they grew up around him.

Watching as Tony took off Jacob quickly followed suit, but it was clear the veteran Avenger was far faster then he was. But still he kept at his pace for his full speed which was only about 75 mph or so. Nonetheless, Jacob still enjoyed a good flight regardless if he raced someone or not, but in other terms her probably could do considerable damage with his strength alone to Tony's armor if he wanted to.
"I have to agree. These days technology is becoming more and more integrated into society, so why not pursue something in it? I've always dabbled a bit in it since I was young so I decided to try and make it as a career." Jacob explained as they flew, occasionally flapping his four wings as he soared over the area and could see quite a bit of New York from this height. It was quite a sight but at the same time it was helping Jacob to learn streets and different areas, something that would serve him and the Dark Avengers well later. But the talk of pursuing technological careers had a thought pop into the young man's mind as he knew this would be risky but also one he had to take.
"Maybe you can teach me some things yourself sir, I mean I could always use a little more expertise from a professional, especially the great Tony Stark. Mean you and your family are legendary for your inventions and advancements." It was a suggestion and Jacob was playing at Tony's pride in his work. Surely a young new mind to the technology business would catch Tony's interest and an eagerness to learn surely would not add icing to the cake. Oh Jacob knew he had to be cautious, but what was there to be suspicious of? Tony and the Avengers had no idea of the Dark Avengers and he certainly was not part of any company. "Maybe I can intern for you some time." He suggested.

"Of course nothing wrong with that, if you can't beat them join them." Tony said knowing he had used that phrase with the Avengers when he had first joined. He had no intention of joining the team seeing how they were treating the other members. That and the odds seemed stacked against them as they were torn apart from being an actual team. Just how were numbers going to help the Avengers? Well as he figured out over the years, numbers weren't everything even with a 95% chance of failing there was still a chance for him to come out on top some how, some way.
Tony of course had noticed how fast that Jacob could go with his suit as jarvis had already totaled up the mileage on how fast he was going on his screen. There were several other arrows pointing to different locations on his map that was inside the armor. It had a few other icons that he could've asked for jarvis to pull up if he needed to use them in a fight. But so far he had not needed them yet since today seemed rather peaceful. "Well if anything I could give you a few pointers up here, but I'd have to see what you can do too." He added knowing that he didn't have a clue if Jacob had any powers. Tony himself did not for that matter.
"That's an idea if you impress me enough here I can set you up with something when I get back." Tony offered seeing that Jacob seemed hopeful on some areas. Still he was slightly suspicious of something from Jacob. It was likely an old way of how he reacted sometimes with the Avengers. Or it was just sheer power of is nerves or gut not feeling right. Still he kept these thoughts from himself, even away from Jarvis.

"You want to see what I got huh? Well, think of me as having many powers that most angelic mutants have, it's really the only skill I have besides my own intelligence." Jacob said with a pained smile, as it was clear being a mutant had changed much of his former identity so he was having to carve out a new one. He was in America to start anew like many people were, he just happened to be lucky he got a scholarship there to be able to go to school. So it hadn't been easy tore ally get where he wanted, but nothing was ever easy. "Mean I suppose we could have a little spar, aerial combat would be our specialty after all." He suggested, as this would likely also give him a chance to gauge how good of a fighter Tony really was, if he could fight at all that was.
Still, Jacob would have to be cautious of how he fought Tony. He couldn't be too aggressive or try and literally harm the man, that would give too much away of how he could be a rather cruel and ruthless person at times. And there was still the chance Tony could find his own Dark Avengers ID card if he didn't keep things protected, even a wrong move could send his wallet of something valuable falling through the air and easily into the veteran hero's hands. There just was many factors to consider and too many outcome ether could happen. "Maybe if that doesn't work I can show you my mechanical skills. I may not be able to build the next Iron Man armor but I know enough I could easily set up a prototype laser and circuit connections, you know the basic stuff." Jacob told him as he didn't know what Tony wanted him to do to prove his skills. Now he only had to wait while keeping his ears peeled for chances of his card or phone going off.

"Well even with intelligence it can do many great things in our life time Jacob. It makes us unique for that matter." Tony said though he couldn't see it over the mask there was a soft smile on his face. It was hard to tell if it was something more of his ego getting to him or if he was real excited to see what Jacob had to say. It was something new since he had sen a lot of the younger heroes on the Avengers obtain some of their powers from his older friends. Or they were a combination of things, for that matter it was always nice to see something different for a change. "We can do sparing if you'd like. That way we can see what we both have at this rate." Tony offered seeing that it would start them at least.
"Do what ever you think is right Jacob I'll be ready for it." Tony said as he looked back at Jacob wondering what he'd pick for all of this. It didn't matter for Tony just because he was young and new. He had already helped train many heroes in his day. He didn't mind taking Jacob underneath his wing-though no pun intended for mentioning it to Jacob since he was the one who had wings. For now at least he didn't mind flying above New York City. While everything else looked like ants from down below, he could only help appreciate and understand that there were some forces that were at work and couldn't understand. While just abut every other human on earth thought the world circled round them. "Say Jacob how about we start with speed being that I burst out of here before you could keep up? I bet I could do some pointers there too."

"I'm up for showing you anything Mr.Stark." Jacob assure him, showing a genuine smile as he had to admit Tony didn't seem so bad. Sure he had heard how the man was egotistical, arrogant, and a womanizer in his younger years but it seemed he had mellowed out since then. After all he was engaged now and seemed to have other things that were meant to be of a greater focus then worrying entirely about his own image. But that did involve Jacob's enemies, the Young Avengers and Avengers team were the primary targets for him and his new team. But he had the best chance to learn more about them if he could convince Tony to take him as an intern or a protege.
"Speed huh, I think you got me beat there already." He chuckled as he flew but smiled, "Though I'll be happy to show you how fast I can be." He said with a grin before he paused enough to suddenly shoot forward, his wings flapping hard and fast in quick strokes, moving ahead of Tony since they had slowed down not too long ago. Now be was showing his speed, at least 75 mph max with just flying at level height but diving he could achieve greater speeds then this.
