He already knew Tony's past well enough; there was nothing worth doubting.
Even after returning from Afghanistan,
the man had improved his usual bad habits quite a bit.
He even seemed to have developed the mindset needed to shoulder S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibilities.
At most, the only concern was that this guy might ask out every female agent in the agency.
After all, just look at this background investigation report.
The worst thing Tony Stark had ever voluntarily done was apparently throw debauched parties for several consecutive weeks.
The Security Council had labeled that entry as frivolous in its evaluation.
But in Nick Fury's eyes, that was hardly a problem.
He idly flipped through the report in his hands, treating it as a way to pass the boring days of his confinement.
"Look at this. He once used a million dollars to persuade his younger brother's first love to leave him. Oh, our Iron Boy is an old-fashioned parent!"
"And the rest... are all things he's done for his brother Leon?"
"When Leon wanted to start a company, he provided inventions and money. When Leon's grades were only above average, he secretly donated to all the top universities in the country. When Leon wanted to fly into the sky, he personally built him a spacecraft... I want an older brother this rich too."
Nick Fury read through the material, shaking his head.
Then his lazy voice abruptly stopped, and for some reason, he slowly sat up straight.
"A spacecraft..." Fury's gaze rested on the line about the spacecraft.
He quickly flipped farther ahead.
He saw an annotation: [At the end of 2007, Leon Stark boarded a spacecraft and entered space.]
But when he continued flipping through the report, even reaching the final page, there was no written record of the spacecraft returning.
