A Father’s Rage
Steve was on the common room frustrated.
He had tried to talk to Tony, but the man once again ignored him.
Even asking FRIDAY to call him didn’t work, the AI refused to even talk to them.
Natasha came to the room, Sam and Wanda on her heels.
“Steve, we have a problem.”
“What is it ?”
“Clint is on his way back to the Raft.”
“WHAT ?”
“The guy tried to see his kids, the kids overreacted, they called Quinn who beated the shit out of him, and since he violated the restriction order. Clint broke his deal, and was sent to prision.”
That was unfair. A peice of paper can’t tell Clint to not see his children, and this proves that Quinn is not feat for the team.
“Nobody said anything ?”
“No one, even Thor agreed.”
“Thor’s back ?”
“Yes, I tried to speak to him, but he letted very clear who he sided with, and is not us.”
He stood up.
“You try to talk to Rhodes or something. I am talking to Tony, this has gone far enough.”
It was time for things to return to the way they were, if he had to push them, so be it.
Howard smirked as he saw Rogers ran threw the halls, straight to the lab.
Tony wasn’t here, he, Harley, and Ivy were seeing the wedding place again.
It was time to do this.
“Let him in FRIDAY, let’s give him shit.”
Steve went to the lab, convinced he can finally fix this.
He went to knock the door, and it opened.
Steve smiled, Tony has finally agreed to see reason.
He entered the lab.
“Tony ?”
The door slammed shut.
“Hello Steve.”
That voice......it wasn’t Tony’s.
But that should be impossible, he is dead....
But then, he came in.
Howard.
“Howard ?”
“The one and only.”
“But how ?”
“Ah Yes, I forgot you saw it in a video right ? Lied to my son about it. Well, I didn’t die in the assault, Barnes grabbed me, and putted a dummy in my place, and SHIELD fell for it. I was taken to a Hydra lab, where they kept me frozen until Tony founded me when he faced Zemo.”
Steve couldn’t believe this, Tony should have told him the second he found out,
“Well, I am glad you are alive, is so good to....”
“Cut the crap.”
“What ?”
“I saw the recordings of Siberia, you didn’t even blink when I “died” Barnes showed more emotion than you.”
Steve sighted, he has to fix this too.
“Look Howard, I...”
“Am a idiot son of a bitch, no Rogers. Do you think I called you here because I care for you ? Because I want to help you ? No, you and your friends abused my son, you call the women I raised criminals, and you hurted something people here, that are truly heroes. I wasn’t able to stand up to my son then, I am doing it now.”
“I never abused Tony !”
“Really, so using his money without consent is not an abuse ?”
“It’s the money of the Avengers, we have the right to...”
“No, that is my son’s money, and you stold it. Have you payed him back ? Because I am sure you want him to give you more money. But let’s continue, you invited the woman that brainwashed Tony and Bruce, ignoring their trauma. And when the world saw it was HER fault that Ultron happened, you and your crew still saw her as innocent.”
“Wanda is...”
“A monster from Hydra. I am curious, does Barnes know ? Does he know you defend a Hydra agent ?”
Steve’s face paled at that, Bucky can’t know !
“So I am right, lying is not what a hero does. Hey FRIDAY, you mention this to Tony and the girls when they visit him again. He does deserve to know the truth.”
“Yes Sir.”
Steve walked to him.
“No Howard, you can’t do this...”
Out of nowhere, the wind pushed Steve to the wall, and kept him there.
Howard slowly walked to him.
And then he punched Steve right in the face, his eye was swollen.
How was Howard this strong ? What was happening ?
“Howard....”
“I bet you are wondering, how did I get this powers ? I always had them Steve. Some people are born to control the elements, we call ourselfves, Chaos people.”
“What ?”
Howard made a fire ball, it made Steve flinch.
“And you know what else ? Tony can do this too, Harley and Ivy, can do it too. And they are stronger than me, specially Tony, to us, he is considered a god, with the two women being his Queens, and I ? I am the proud father, who founded out that his son was turtored by a man that was never a hero, and is standing up to him.”
He grabbed Steve by the collar.
“What I am doing to you, it’s just a warm up, Harley and Ivy have claimed you as their prey, and I don’t see any reason to deny it, screw up more Steve, continue to live in this constant delusion, and I assure you, you will beg to go back to the Raft.”
Howard grabbed Steve, and threw him out of the lab.
Steve flew out of the room, and the door closed.
Scott, Sharon, Luis, Hope, Helena, Dinah, and King Shark saw this, and broke down in laughter.
Steve couldn’t belive this had happened.
How had things gone so out of control ?
