Fic Summary: If the present Tony Stark received from Gene Khan on his nineteenth birthday was a puzzle, it was dwarfed by more urgent and dangerous events. Starting with the explosion of the helicarrier, where Captain America's supposedly brain-dead body had gone missing. Was the man suffering from amnesia Iron Man rescued a few hours after the wreck the Captain? If not, who was he? And why were they so attracted to each other? Had SHIELD kept Cap alive simply to extract the serum? And why was a Doombot, not to mention Madam Masque, trying to break into Tony and Howard's home?
