Steve and Bucky entered the workshop, the ride from shield had been in silence with only the occasional comment from Barton. Tony was, of course no where to be seen.

"Stevie and Buck-aboo, there you are, Jarvis won't let me out of the workshop" Steve felt a tail wrap around his ankle, but didn't see it. Tony was invisible.

"Tony we can't see you, also we asked Jarvis to do that, because YOU WENT OUT WITHOUT BACKUP" Bucky explained voice rising in worry now turned anger

The tail unfurled from around Steve's ankle "Shield asked for help, you didn't want me in battle" Tony answered voice just above a whisper

Steve watched Bucky flinch, guilt on his face "Tony, I didn't mean it like that, I just want you to be safe thats all" Tony didn't answer 

"Tony?" Steve glanced to Bucky, who just shrugged "Tones, when you want to talk, we'll be in the penthouse, okay? Tony?" Still no answer, the two super soldiers left the workshop, guilt and anger present

"Jarvis?" a quite voice asked as soon as they left "I don't think I can do this, I can't deal with being sidelined, with being replaced"

"Sir?"

"As soon as I'm visible again, we're going to set the team up with whatever they could need, or leave it for Sam and Parker, then I'm going for a drive, this doesn't reach Steve or Bucky okay?"

"...Yes Sir"

Bucky was pissed, Tony was being difficult, why couldn't he just see that Steve and Bucky just wanted to protect him, keep him safe.

Steve was sketching quietly, waiting for the elevator to open, when it did he looked up, speech prepared for Tony, only to see Natasha, Sam and Logan

"Whats up?" Bucky asked the tension leaving him for now, he couldn't allow his personal problems to affect how he worked with the team

"We're here to help set up the nursery" Natasha explained

"There is still 9 months till the baby is born, Tasha we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl" Steve argued, he didn't want to do anything baby related without Tony

"It's never to early" she countered like it was fact

"You could jinx it" Sam prompted "It's bad luck to do anything baby related this early"

Natasha just rolled her eyes, and made her way to one of Tony's many spare rooms, Sam followed behind

Logan though, waited till both had left the room before speaking "There is something I wanna talk to you guys about"

"What's up Logan?" Bucky asked

"Well" the x-man  continued "It's about Tony, he is well-"

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Sir seems to have passed out, and is not responding to any attempt I make to wake him" Jarvis spoke in a panicked tone, something dreadful must have happened

Steve and Bucky raced down to the workshop expected the worst, only to see nothing, 

"Jarvis?"

"Sir is still invisible, there is heat signature reading glasses just to your left, if they will help"

Both placed on the glasses, then moved to where the thermal image of man laying down was, though when they attempted to touch it, smoke filled their vision

"It's a fake" Sam supplied, arriving with the others, just in time to watch the smoke climb

"Jarvis where is Tony?" Bucky asked franticly 

"I cannot trace him, but one of the cars is missing" Jarvis answered

"Wait, don't all the cars have trackers?" Natasha asked, something was off about this entire thing

"All cars except the ones that once belonged to Howard Stark," Jarvis supplied

"Why would Tony leave in one of his fathers cars now, what happened between you three?" Logan asked

Bucky sighed "We got into an argument about his Avengers duties, thats all, I don't think Tony would have ran because of that though"

Tony drove and drove, finally visible, he had taken one of Howard's many cars, no tracker. The team had all they needed, and he just needed time away from it all. Steve and Bucky were just to good for him. Staying when he was so broken was just unfair. Tony was going to spend a few days at the Stark Manor, let himself be overwhelmed by Childhood memories.

Howard was wrong about somethings and right about others, but he always had answers, if you knew where to look for them, and Tony had always known where to find them.
