Starting to get Desperate
This place was horrible.
Steve can’t wait to return to the compound.
But there are still no news of pardons ever since Quinn and Isley got theirs.
Tony had busted up the Avengers’ numbers to 12, with 4 possible people waiting to join. He also made it clear that when he returns, Bruce will be welcomed with open arms, he didn’t speak about the others though.
And sadly, Natasha told him chances are Bruce will side with Tony.
“But, this is Ross, why would he...”
“Tony got Ross out of the government, he is now in disgrace, that action earnes him Bruce’s eternal gratitude and respect, more than what they already had for each other. Don’t get your self tricked Steve. Bruce only considered Tony a friend in the original team. We ere just colleagues for him.”
“But you and him had something special.”
“And that is the only thing I can count on. Because it is between you and Tony, Bruce won’t hesitate to choose Tony.”
Steve still can’t belive Tony got 12 people, that is more that what the Avengers had ever gotten under Steve.
One of them called herself a Captain, but Steve knows she is faking it, he recognizes a Captain when he sees one.
Tony also got a sorcerer, why ? They have Wanda for that.
But what angered him more was Quinn and Isley.
The world welcomed them, saw them as victims and heroes trying to make amends. While they still hate Steve and his team, the true heroes.
That made it more clear to Steve that they were brainwashing Tony, he has to safe him.
After Steve returns, he will send Quinn and Isley to a prision, where they deserve to be, he will check every member Tony added, to see if they are worthy for the position. Like Beck who already has a spot on the team.
Then, Rhodes, Vision, and Tony will have to apologize for their actions, and Steve will forgive them, he is a good man. He will also show Tony that they are meant to be together.
Steve smiled, thinking about the great future.
He didn’t see Sam come in.
“Bad news man, come here, we will see the news.”
Steve saw Tony giving a press conference.
“Hello everyone, missed me ?”
“Mr. Stark, what took you so long to appear.”
“I was recovering, and helping a friend get threw something, so I let Rhodey take the spotlight, he is the leader after all.”
Rhodes being the leader had cause massive aproval and cheering from the public. They said that Rhodes was an actual war decorated hero, and he was a Colonel, that outranks as Captain.
Steve can’t belive this, no matter the rank. Captain America knows best, that is a fact.
He will return to command when everyone see the truth, he was sure Rhodes will be happy seeing him back.
“Mr. Stark, can you confirme the existence of the restriction orders you have against Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Sam Wilson, and Wanda Maximoff ?”
“They are super true, my great friend Pepper got them for me, isn’t she great ? I call for Pepper Potts to be president. The restriction orders forbib the rogues from going closer than 500 meters to me, that will not affect my desire to capture them.”
Restrictions orders, why ? They were his family, and he and Steve were meant to be. How could Tony do this ?
“Is it true that you have a connection to Harley Quinn and Posion Ivy ?”
“Comepletly true, you see, my dad got Harley and Ivy out of their abusive homes. So that they could have a good life, and I could have friends. They are just as family to me as Rhodey is.”
There is the proof Tony is being manipulated, they were not his family, Steve and the others were Tony’s family.
“Mr. Stark, is it true you are in a relationship ?”
“Yes, and I am proud if it, can’t reveal who though, for privacy.”
No. No, Steve and Tony belong together, this must be fake.
“Well, that’s all the time we are getting folks. Thanks.”
Tony blew a kiss to the cámaras, and left.
Steve can’t believe this.
“Jackass.” Clint grumbled.
“Clint, Tony is being manipulated, we must safe him.”
Everyone grumbled.
“Cap is right.” Beck said. “Even with his faults, Tony is a good man, and he needs the right guidance for that. There is no one better for that than you Steve. This is why the world needs Captain America, to show the, What is right.”
Steve smiled. “Thanks Beck.”
Beck then looked at his watch.
“Is happening, they monsters’ asistents are here, time to be heroes everyone.”
Every one stood up with a smile.
“Well Cap, is your call, only the true leader of the Avengers can say it.”
Steve held his head high.
“Avengers, for too much time we have seen how unworthy people, some of them criminals. Take out place as heroes, faking the world into security. The time to stop that has come, we need to fix the world, get rid of the accords and the manipulators, and save our friends. It is time to show every one what being an Avenger truly means, to show them who are heroes.”
Steve’s voice filled with pride.
“Avengers Assemble.”
Cold.
That was all he felt, cold.
Then a bright light came to his eyes.
“Ah, you are awake, sorry for the rude awakening, allow me to introduce myself, I am Helmut Zemo.”
What, who was this guy.
“I see there is something special on you, rest so we can talk more.”
The man began to leave the room.
“Welcome back, Howard Stark.”
