Imagine a conspiracy theorist talking about how they think Cap is still alive and out there somewhere and they’re like ‘yeah but what if his super serum stuff kept his body ALIVE in the ICE and he’s been WORKING FOR THE SECRET MILITARY EVER SINCE-’ but everyone else is just like ‘shut up lol’

okay sorry to add but 

What if it was Tony? 

His huge project for college is This Theory, and who better to cover it? His own father worked with Cap, and it’s kind of a “Screw You” to his father, working on a Captain America project, something Howard never thought he could do. 

He has hours of research put in, a paper carefully proofread and academically professional thanks to vetting by Rhodey, and–

Tony gets laughed out of town. He can’t be serious, right? There’s no way a human would actually survive for seventy years. What about nutrition intakes? Temperatures? Cap may be enhanced, but he’s not Perfection (no matter what Howard would slur late at night). 

But Tony still has it. Occasionally, it’ll get brought up on interviews. 

Flash forward decades later, and Cap comes out of the ice. 

It is literally all over Tony’s twitter: 

“GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT ASSHOLES?????? GUESS. TAKE A WILD GUESS.” 

He has the link to the paper on his Instagram, shoves it in his asshole-former professor’s face who told him he was wasting his time. 

Tony is thriving and best of all? 

Steve is the same way. He’s petty, he likes proving people right, and so he tweets about the paper a couple months later, saying: “I know I live with a genius, but wow! He knew about me before any of you!”
