Hello :)

I have been on a bit of a posting spree lately.

This story is one I've had up on Archive of our Own for a few months now, and am finally getting around to crossposting it here.

BE WARNED! This is a 'Team Iron Man' story, meaning it's not for fans of Steve Rogers or most of his crew.

Clint and Scott however will get a redemption arc, and Bucky is not held in the same regard as Steve (due to his brainwashing) though that's not to say he won't also have to face concequences for his actions during Civil War.

I put this in the 'Justice League' crossover category, as it was the most appropriate, but this is actually a crossover with several DC continuities/series. (This is another reason I like A03's story layout, you can add multiple series into the same fic categories)

Now, I know that some of the DC continuities I am using don't line up/contradict themselves...just try and roll with it.

Below are a list of DC continuities and series that appear in this story so far:

- DCEU (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etc etc)

- Supergirl TV series (and some of the Arrowverse, Legends of Tomorrow, Constantine, Batwoman, etc)

The Clark Kent in this story is Henry Cavill (sorry Tyler Hoechlin) and Amy Adams Lois.

- DC's Titans live action series

The Bruce Wayne in this story is Ben Affleck, and Alfred is Jeremy Irons.

Other characters and continuities will be mentioned later.

Peter Parker is also female in this story, Penelope 'Penny Parker', there is also a change to Vision (which happens post civil war) but I won't spoil it. It wil be in chapter 6-7 that you see that.

I hope you all enjoy :D

The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen area as the three adults all congregated there, having just finished some early morning training exercises.

Jessica Jones was the first to claim the coffee pot and gave herself a generous portion before passing it to Luke.

Danny meanwhile poured himself some tea before sitting down with a bowl of cereal.

Luke went to the fridge and grabbed some eggs when a fourth person appeared.

Shuffling into the kitchen still clad in her pyjamas and accompanying bed head was Penelope Parker.

"Morning Penny" Luke said as Penny made a small grunt of acknowledgment, still obviously not fully awake.

"You want an omelette?"

The still half asleep teen shook her head as she moved over to the cupboard, her still movements made her look like a zombie as she retrieved a box of cereal to pour into her own bowl.

She was stopped however from grabbing any coffee by Jessica who moved the pot away from the brunette, which got a smile whine in response.

"Don't give me that, just eat your cereal and grab some tea if you want, we've all seen what your like when your caffeinated and it's way too early in the morning for that" the older woman said as Penny grumbled but did in the end grab a cup and pour herself some tea, adding some honey before sitting up next to Jessica.

It was a Saturday and Penny had stayed over the night before to work on some projects with Tony, as well as some minor upgrades on her web shooters.

May was out of town for the week, so Penny was staying with Tony for the duration of her absence, which wasn't anything new as the teen would stay over most weekends, or even on the rare school night.

Danny excused himself as he went off to shower which would be followed up by his tai-chi practice, leaving the others to sit in pleasant silence.

This went on for a few minutes before Tony sauntered into the kitchen and from the looks of it he hadn't gotten much sleep, if any at all the previous night, this was only due to his clothes disheveled state and the grease stains.

His tendency for pulling all night lab sessions had given the billionaire a well-developed tolerance for lack of sleep.

"Morning kid" he said giving Penny a quick pat on the back as he passed. "And assorted others, how are we all on this fine morning"

"Peachy" Jessica snarked back, though everyone knew there was no heat behind the remark.

"Is Matthias joining us today or what?" Tony asked.

It was Luke who answered, looking up as he was transferring his omelette onto a plate.

"Matt's got a case he's preparing for on Tuesday, he said he'd try and stop in, but he's going to be pretty busy"

Tony gave a nod. "Especially when coupled with his night time activities" he said as he went to start a fresh pot of coffee.

As he waited for the coffee to brew he sat down between Jessica and Penny, flipping through a tablet over the designs he'd been working on in his lab previously, before Penny's voice piped up.

"Hey Mr Stark, I was just wondering if it was OK if Ned and MJ came over Monday after school, we were going to work on some Academic Decathlon drills"

"And binge watch Star Wars for the hundredth time" Jessica chimed in with a knowing smirk.

"That's fine kid, I can come pick you up after school, or if I'm busy I can send Happy"

"Thanks Mr Stark" Penny said gratefully before turning to Jessica. "And there's always room for more in the Star Wars marathon if you're interested"

Jessica gave a light snort into her coffee cup.

"Looks like the galaxy will have to somehow make due with Obi-Wan and without the heroics of Jessica Jones" Luke said teasingly as Jessica merely rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you give bird boy a call, he and the Justice League kiddy club are coming by tomorrow"

"The Titans are coming!? Sweet, they haven't been by in like a month" Penny said excitedly.

"Just what this place needs, more young people" Tony said with a mock weariness as Penny merely laughed and went to get more cereal, her radioactive spider metabolism at work as she poured herself a second bowl.

"So Luke how's the fundraising going for the new youth centre" Tony asked as Luke was seated opposite him working through the omelette.

"It's going well, we've managed to get more than enough donors on board, including a rather generous one who wanted to remain anonymous" Luke said looking at Tony knowingly.

Luke had been approached by the director of one of the old Youth Centre's that had been going through some tough times for a number of years, hoping to get his help in their efforts to raise money for repairs.

The ensuing campaign had raised not just enough for the centre to be complete refurbished, but enough for new staff to be hired and new outreach programs to be implemented.

There were even plans for a second location to be opened up when the proper zoning had been completed.

"Yeah well, there are a lot of generous people out there"

Tony knew Luke wouldn't ask for the money outright even though he knew it was mere pocket change for the billionaire, it was the same with him and Danny.

Luke also believed that getting the community members involved in the fundraising and attracting donors was better for the overall sense of accomplishment for those involved, rather than just asking for his rich friend's to pay for it outright.

Which is why Tony made his donation after the target goal had been reached, he admired Luke's dedication and drive. And the fact that he didn't ask Tony for his money was another reason Tony donated it, he respected Luke and his principals and the fact the man didn't wish to take advantage of him.

But Tony Stark always liked to throw cash around when it came to his friends and loved ones, it may have stemmed from a childhood need for acceptance, but as he grew it was his way of making sure that the people he cared about weren't in need of anything, and that he could help them not struggle.

At least this time it was different, he wasn't trying to win them over or desperately try and hold onto them in fear of abandonment or because-

Tony stopped, not letting his thoughts go down that path as he shook his head lightly trying to change his train of thought.

"Friday, be a dear and-" Tony began only to be cut off.

"Tony"

The three turned to see Rhodey enter the room holding a phone to his ear, Diana was at his side dressed in comfortable civilian garb.

The looks on both their faces instantly made Tony on edge.

"What is it?" he asked hesitantly.

Gotham

Bruce Wayne had just finished showering after his morning workout and was about to head out when Alfred's voice caught his attention.

"Telephone for you, sir" he said. "It's Ms Prince"

"What does she want, is it an emergency?"

"I think it best she relay the information to you personally" he said as Bruce followed him to the phone, picking it up and answering.

Bruce stayed silent as he listened to Diana's words, his expression slowly growing angered as his grip on the receiver tightened.

"Yeah….Ok, I'll be there. If you need me before tomorrow just call and I'll be there straight away….bye"

Bruce put the receiver down and ran a hand through his hair before looking at Alfred.

"The Government is considering pardoning The Rogues"

"Yes, Ms Prince let me know" the older man said, his expression grim. "This doesn't bode well"

Bruce silently agreed.

So, there's the prologue :D

I have 7 chapters already written on A03 which will be crossposted soon after this one is up.

(The A03 version has embedded pics and gifs, which I wish I could do here, but nope. Another feature I wish FF would adapt here. On the reverse, I wish A03 would adapt a PM system, as well as a Doc Manager)
