[REWRITTEN] You Chose The Wrong Side

Steve was too stunned to move, open his mouth to say something, or even breathe. He never wanted things to end up this way. He never wanted to fight or lie to Tony, but he had no choice if he wanted to protect Bucky.

He just wishes Tony would understand.

As soon as Clint mentioned pardons for their actions in Germany, Steve had a hope that maybe Tony did understand and was ready to finally fix everything between them. Be a team again. But from the way Natasha frowned at the information, Steve realized that those pardons didn't include the two of them, and Steve was honestly feeling let down.

Steve wanted to spare Tony from unnecessary pain. He gets why Tony is angry and upset right now, but that doesn’t mean they have to fight over it. The Avengers are family. They need to stick together. All of them.

Tony didn't say even a single word from the moment he stepped through that whole he made. He didn't even retract his helmet and just stared down at them with his menacing faceplate. Back in Siberia, Tony removed his helmet to show that he came as a friend, but now, he didn't make even the slightest movement. He just stood there, watching their every movement like a shark that is hunting its prey.

Like Steve, the others were also all stunned into silence because Tony's stance obviously showed them that he isn't there as a friend. They didn't see Tony for two months but knew that he was injured after Siberia, but they have no idea how severe it really was. Neither of them also knows what really happened in Siberia because the guards refused to tell them anything but they made theories. The most common one that Tony, Barnes, and Steve fought against the Soldiers, and Tony got separated and overwhelmed, as much as that theory seemed unlikely to Clint.

Now, they all feel like maybe Clint was right and something else happened in Siberia between Tony and Steve.

“Tony…” Steve tried with a soft and careful voice, but froze when all Tony did was just crossed his arms before his chest and a Woman in a Black and Yellow suit, similar to Scott's suit appeared on his side.

“Hope?” Scott called out to her, taking his Helmet off and revealing his wide and shocked eyes.

Hope’s helmet retracted, revealing her pissed-off facial expression which was enough to make Scott loudly gulp, as he took a step behind Clint, practically hiding behind the Archer. “You are an Idiot.” She said in a disappointed and angry voice, which made Scott flinch and look down in guilt.

Steve glared at her and was ready to argue in Scott's defense but as he moved forward, Tony also moved, taking one protective step in front of Hope, practically shielding her away from Steve while also moving his head lower, which made him look even more menacing than before. All of them were slightly shocked by this move, even Scott who looked like a small, confused puppy.

“Tony, you have to let us go.” Natasha says in a soft, yet firm voice, making Tony’s gaze snap at her. "I understand that you are hurt and angry at this moment, but now is not the time to let your ego-" She was cut when Tony fired a repulsor blast in front of her leg, making her immediately take one causal step back while the others gasped and looked at Tony with wide eyes.

"Project your ego on me again, Romanoff, and I will aim for your head." Tony growled in a deadly and very serious voice. Noticing the offended look Natasha pooled, he darkly chuckled. "What? You seriously thought that the report you made on me was legit? News flash, Honey, it wasn't. You are a honeypot, spy, killer, and manipulator. Not a psychologist." His smirk could be heard even behind his masked face. "Your old boss, Fury, said so himself."

At the mention of Fury, Natasha froze and her eyes slightly widened. Steve noticed her face and immediately swallowed his own fear down and approached Tony with a disapproving and reprimanding look. "Tony, Natasha is our friend and these comments are out of line!"

"I thought so too." Tony responded with an even colder voice, not moving his gaze from Natasha, who was still frozen. "But that wasn't true, was it, Widow?" He was clearly taunting her with the nickname and Natasha finally snapped out of her trance and went to say something, but Tony was quicker. "I was her mark. Nothing more, nothing less." He titled his head to the side and released another small chuckle. "And so was Bruce, wasn't he?" Natasha shook her head but it didn't look really convincing, not even to Steve. "You were appointed to be The Hulk’s Handler, and what better way to control a man if not through his heart."

"I cared about him." Natasha quietly defended herself while the others were looking between her and Tony as if they were playing a tennis match.

"You don't know what it means to care about someone other than yourself, Widow." Tony scoffed. "You think that you do, but you are not capable of caring for somebody else than yourself so you are faking it. Your whole life was driven by only one rule. Failure isn't acceptable." Natasha flinched as if Tony just slapped her and took a few small steps back with a fearful expression on her face while Tony continued talking. "Yelena contacted me a few days back. We talked a bit about you and she told me a lot about Black Widows and how you think. I will make sure she will be able to visit you in prison. Think of it as my last gift to you, Honey."

"You are not locking us up, Tony." Steve growled, taking another step toward the genius who finally acknowledged him. "We are heroes. We fought for what was right and did nothing wrong."

"Nothing wrong." Tony repeated as if it was the stupidest thing he ever heard. "Are you listening to yourself, Mr. Sometimes my Teammates don't tell me things?" Steve flinched at the name but quickly collected himself while the others stared at him with confusion. "You killed innocent people in Europe on your hunts for Barnes. You attacked these guards, who were only doing their job and caused the most dangerous Prison Break in all of history, and you still think you did nothing wrong?"

When Tony puts it out like that... it does sound pretty bad, even Steve admits that, but he had reasons for his actions.

Bucky, an innocent, good man, who was brainwashed into a slave and assasins was going to be killed for something he didn't do! Steve wasn't going to allow it to happen. He would never fail his best friend again!

"I was stupid for shielding the three of you after The Info Dump. I was so caught up in the idea of having a real family again that I never realized what kind of people I allowed into my own house." Tony continued with disgust clear in his voice. "No more. I'm done shielding you from responsibility and consequences. And I will enjoy making you pay for Siberia."

"It wasn't his fault!" Steve immediately snapped, ignoring the questioning looks the others were sending his way. "He was brainwashed!"

"I know." Tony responded, making Steve freeze. "I don't like him and I as hell don't want to see him ever again, but I don't blame him." The repulsors in Tony's palms started to shine brighter as he took a few steps toward Steve. "I blame you!"

“Well, Isn’t this a nice family reunion?” A familiar voice laughed from the other side of the room, making all of them turn around at the new incomer.

“Zemo.” Steve hissed in a dangerously low tone and immediately moved in to attack the man who is responsible for all of this. If he just didn't show Tony that footage everything would be fine! Steve rushed at Zemo, but an arrow landed in front of him and exploded, throwing him into the wall.

Another arrow flew directly at Tony and Hope, but Tony snatched it from the air and redirected it through the hole he created, honestly impressing all of them in the process, while Zemo laughed.

"I must admit, of all people that I expected to release me, I never thought that it would be you, Rogers." Zemo said with a smirk on his face, while Taskmaster dropped from the floor above them and came to stand at Zemo's side.

“Antonia…” Natasha tried, holding her hands up in surrender and carefully approaching the younger woman. "What are you doing here?" but before Natasha could get close to her an Ice blast shoot in front of her legs, cutting her off.

Blizzard emerged from behind the corner, wearing his white suit and Cryo Cannon, coming to stand on Zemo’s other side. His helmet retracted, revealing his half-scared face with a twisted smirk on his lips. "Welcome in Hell, Avengers."

"Sorry, Natalia." Taskmaster sarcastically apologized. "It's just business for me from now on, and Zemo here, promised me a lot of money.”

“Hi, Donnie!” Tony carefully addressed Blizzard, while pushing Hope even more further behind him. "How have you been? You look nice. Have you lost weight?"

“Let me show you, Stark.” Blizzard growled as his helmet snapped back onto his face and he fired his cryo-cannon at Tony, who intercepted the ice blast with his own repulsor beam, shattering the ice to pieces before it could reach him.

"I guess we are not going to catch up over a cold drink." Tony sarcastically muttered and immediately tackled Blizzard through the wall, before jumping into the air and slamming down on him with also a small boost from his repulsors, which ended up proving to be enough force to destroy the ground under Blizzard, landing them both on the lower floor of Raft.

Steve quickly picked himself up from the ground and tried to rush at Zemo again but Taskmaster again got in his way and did q quick spin-kick that reminded Steve of a move that the Black Panther used on him in Germany. He quickly recovered and aimed a punch at her chest, but she just dodged under his punch and wrapped her tights around his arm, flipping him on his back and landing on top of him with a pose that reminded him a lot of Natasha.

Who the hell is this woman?!

The others quickly moved in to assist Steve, but Radioactive Man jumped from the floor above them, creating a small energy shockwave that threw most of them off their feet. Clint, Natasha, and Steve remembered this guy. He was a Hydra Scientist and the first Enhanced they encountered since SHIELD fell. The Avengers were the ones who apprehended him and it took the combined power of Iron Man and Thor to hold him off long enough for The Hulk to knock him out.

Wanda tried to use her powers on Radioactive Man, but the man just glanced at her with total boredom and shot a quick blast from his eyes at her that send her flying through the air and crashed right into Sam, knocking him out cold, while Wanda did her best to regain her breath.

Radioactive Man advanced at Wanda's position, his hands glowing with power. "So you are Struckers favorite pet. I'm not impressed." Wanda gritted her teeth and moved to stand up, but Radioactive Man just shoot another beam at her, knocking her back to the ground and spilling blood out of her nose.

Scott and Hope quickly came to her aid, working in complete coordination together, while Clint and Natasha came to assist Steve, pushing Taskmaster off him, and sending her sliding on the floor with a very Black Panther style, as the claws on her fingertips scratch the ground, slowing down her slide. She lifted her head up and threw Zemo her sword before she pulled out her shield and focused on Natasha and Clint, while Zemo engaged Steve on his own.

Steve was surprised by this action and quickly found himself in a defensive position because he doesn't have any weapon to defend himself with and Zemo turned out to be a perfect swordsman and hand-to-hand fighter. “Come on Rogers. Surely you can do better than this.” Zemo taunted him and Steve grits his teeth, barely managing to dodge another Zemo's slash.

“I can do this all day.” Steve confidently exclaimed, raising his fits in the air and preparing to continue their fight.

“I heard those words before.” Zemo said with a knowing look and a dark chuckle. "And I know Stark did as well." Steve released an angry battle cry and quickly moved to punch Zemo in the face, who was quick enough to dodge and slash Steve on his tight. "So much anger in you." Zeme pointed out. "Tell me, what's eating you up more. The fact that you lied to Stark, or maybe that you are the real reason The Avengers are torn apart." Steve grits his teeth, ignoring the pain, and tries to kick Zemo, who again effortlessly dodged and moved out of the way. "No... You are angry because deep down you know that you lost him and he will never take you back."

Steve's eyes burned with rage as he jumped closer to Zemo, managing to land a lucky hit on his hip that send him crashing to the ground. Steve jumped, ready to smash Zemos skull, but Zemo managed to roll out of the way and Steve ended up hitting the floor. They both stood to their full height and launched themselves at each other, both ready to fight another round.

Tony threw Blizzard through another wall, but Blizzard quickly recovered and rolled to his knees, blasting Tony with his Cannon and sending him crashing to the opposite side of the room with a loud crack that echoed through the whole room.

“Ouch...” Tony groaned from pain as he shakingly pulled himself up on his feet and almost fell backward again from the pain. Friday appeared on his HUD. "Tell me, Baby Girl, is it just as bad as it hurts?"

"That cracking sound was the sound of your left kneecap breaking." Friday answered with a worried look. "You shouldn't be standing right now. Without the suit, you wouldn't be able to stand right now."

"It will heal." Tony shrugged.

"It will." Friday agreed with narrowed eyes. "But it will not heal right if you keep using it."

"It's not like I have any other choice, Fri." Tony resorted as Blizzard approached his position and fired an Ice black on the ground that froze Tony's legs to the floor, making him hiss from pain, as the cold touched his broken leg. "I take it this will slow my healing down...." He muttered to himself, bitting down on his tongue to not scream from the pain. Blizzard aimed his Cannon directly at Tony's head, but Friday momentarily took over the suit controls and fired both of its repulsor blasts at maximum power directly at Blizzard's chest, sending him flying back and into a really nice dining table.

"Thanks, Baby Girl." Tony thanked and regained control of the suit, punching the ice and freeing his legs just as Blizzard picked himself up again.

“You are weak Stark.” Blizzard growled. "Always was. Always will be. I know it. You know it. Your Father and Stane knew it too."

“Says the copycat that was in Prison since 2011 because he failed to kill the big weakling that I according to you am.” Tony taunted back, suppressing the unwanted feeling he got at the mention of his Father and Godfather.

"Don't worry," Blizzard reassured him as his suit's shoulders released a hatch and steam of cold while Tony's sensors went crazy inside his HUD, as the temperature was quickly changing to a freezing level and ice started forming on top of Iron Man's shell. “Freezing isn’t a bad way to go.” Blizzard finished and released a cryo shockwave that instantly froze Tony's entire suit, sending him to his knees.

"Boss!" Friday's distressed voice yelled but her voice died out too as the HUD inside Tony's helmet turned off. Tony suddenly had a flashback back to Siberia and his eyes glowed bright orange, and his body temperature started rising from within him, melting the ice off his suit.

Tony forces himself to move, surprising Blizzard who uses even more of his suit's power to release an even colder shockwave, but not even that stops Iron Man, whose armor has an orange glow from within the suit, coming directly from Tony.

“This isn’t possible...” Blizzard gasped, as he moved a few steps back, while Tony rose to his full height and walked almost casually toward him, not affected by the ice even a little bit. Tony finally managed to reach Blizzard, who put both of his hands on The Iron Man suit, using his gauntlets to freeze Tony with direct contact. As his shoulder plates started to be enveloped in ice again, Blizzard laughed in Tony's face. “You can’t win Stark!”

"Are you sure?" Tony asked as the lenses on his helmet glowed orange and he reached for Blizzard's hands, pushing him off his shoulders and snapping his wrists, making the other man shout from pain. Blizzard tries to move away from Tony, but Tony doesn't let him go and keeps him in the place, using Extremis to destabilize Blizzard's main power core.

“No!” Blizzard shouted as the destabilized power source of his suit backfires back on him and his own suit is enveloped by a layer of thick ice. "What have you done to me?!" He exclaimed with a horrified voice as the ice reaches his helmet and he screams.

"What you did to everyone you killed." Tony smirked as his HUD came back online and Blizzard stopped trashing and just stood there like a large ice statue. "Don't worry, Donnie." he reassured, clapping him softly on the shoulder. "Your inner systems inside your suit are still active and will keep you from becoming an icicle, but maybe you should think before you try to freeze somebody else again. After all, treat others the way you want them to treat you."

"Boss." Friday said with a breath of relief. "While you and Blizzard were building a snowman, Radioactive Man joined Zemo and Taskmaster in a fight against the idiots and Ms. Van Dyne."

Tony moved his broken leg a bit and cringed at the still uncomfortable feeling and pain. Blizzard’s cryo-cannon is preventing him from healing up quickly enough and it seems like he will need to have his leg rebroken anyway.

Helen is going to kill him...

Tony signed and flew towards the big hole he and Blizzard created. "I'm on my way."

****

Clint managed to snack Taskmaster’s bow away from her grip and use it as his own weapon, holding her hands down and giving Natasha enough time to leap over his back and kick their foe in the chest, making her take a few steps back, but quickly recover and use her shield to block another Natasha’s punch, pushing The Black Widow back with ease.

Steve meanwhile managed to finally disarm Zemo and throw him to the ground. Zemo grunted and lifted his head up. "Look around you, Rogers!” He pointed at the bloody massacre and chaos around them. "This is all on your head! The Avengers are done, finished. Stark will never trust you again. I WON!"

"Shut up." Steve growled with hate in his eyes.

"Or what?" Zemo challenged with a raised eyebrow. "Are you going to kill me like you tried to kill him?"

"I didn't try to kill Tony." Steve immediately shook his head. "I'm not a killer. I'm not like you."

"Who are you trying to convince? You or me?" Zemo chuckled. "You are a killer. All of you are."

"We are heroes." Steve corrected. "We fight for what is right. We protect people."

"Keep saying that to yourself when you see the news from this day." Zemo choked out while he spit out blood from his mouth. "This act won't go unpunished, Rogers. Somebody will pay for releasing all of us and it will be you."

The Super Soldier growled and knocked Zemo out, not bothering to hear any more of his illusions. He looked around and saw Hope and Scott shrinking and regrowing around Radioactive Man, hitting him from all the sides and not allowing him to focus on Wanda, who is throwing thing after thing at him, making him burn with anger. Tony suddenly jumped at Radioactive Man from behind, hitting him at the back of his head and using his unibeam to send him to crash into a nearby open cell, knocking him out.

Steve smiled at the sight of Tony landing next to Wanda, Scott, and Hope. Zemo is wrong. The Avengers will get past these problems and will reconcile as one single, and even stronger unit. He just needs to have a talk with Tony in between four eyes and then everything will be okay. They will get rid of the Accords and reunite.

Maybe Tony can even help with Bucky's triggers in the future and they all can be a family again.

Steve moved toward Tony with a small friendly smile but stopped dead in his tracks when Tony pointed his hand at him and the sound of repulsor powering up echoed in his ears. Tony's head titled toward Steve and The Super Soldier froze. Instead of seeing Iron Man's bright white eyes, he was met with a blazing orange that looked like something out of a horror movie.

"What?" Tony asked with a cold voice. "Don't tell me you thought that I would change my mind about you, Asshole."

"Tony-" Steve was ready to reprimand him for the language but smartly closed his mouth when the repulsor shined a bit brighter.

"Don't use that voice on me, Rogers." Tony growled. "Get on your knees and hand behind your head. You are under arrest for... Well, a bunch of crimes."

"You know I can't do that, Tony..." Steve shook his head, placing himself in the battle stance while Hope, Scott, and Wanda stared at them with wide eyes, shocked that Tony and Steve are really going to fight in this situation.

"I knew you would say that." Tony responded with a pleased tone. "But I must warn you. This won't end so good for you as it did in Siberia because this time," A missile appeared from Tony's gauntlet, making Steve's eyes go wide. "This time, I am holding nothing back you lying piece of shit."

Before Tony can fire, a big explosion shook the entire Raft and a big hole burned in the wall above them all. A yellow light shined down at them through the hall, making Steve, Wanda, Scott, and Hope take a few steps back, while Tony just cursed under his breath and quickly turned around to face their new sparkly opponent. "Laser."

“It’s The Living Laser, Stark. Living." Laser snarled as a mask formed around his face and yellow energy sparked all around him, while the lights in the room started flickering like crazy. "Something that you all won't be in a minute."

“Boss." Friday whispered in Tony's ear. "The Living Laser is absorbing energy from the cells Power Generators. You need to stop before-" She is cut off by a nearby Generator turning off, followed by a distanced explosion and angry loud roar. "Before that happens." She deadpanned.

“I take it that another Special Inmate just got out?” Tony asked with a fron and Friday signed in defeat.

"Yep."

"Awesome." Tony sarcastically exclaimed. Just then The Abomination burst through the wall with an angry beastly roar. Before anyone could react, he backhanded Steve, who flew at least a good 4 meters away and was knocked out immediately on the impact. "Huh, nice job, Blonsky!"

The Abomination snarled at Tony, who regretted his praise when the Gamma Beast tried to grab him by the head with another angry roar. Luckily, Tony managed to dodge his massive arm and flew out of his reach.

“Now this is a problem…”  Tony muttered as The Abomination started attacking Hope and Scott, who managed to successfully shrink into their smaller forms and avoid his reach. Wanda uses a nearby rouble and sends it at The Abomination, who just growls in irritation and moves to attack the younger woman. Luckily for Wanda, Tony tackles her out of The Abomination's reach, quickly grabs her, and flies with her in the air, shocking the younger girl even more.

"Why did you save me?" Wanda asked in a quiet voice with clear curiosity and slight disbelief. "You hate me."

"I don't hate you." Tony corrected and frowned at her. "Do you really want to have this talk now?"

"I guess not." Wanda responded and awkwardly put one hand around Tony's neck to stabilize herself.

"Boss, Laser isn’t stopping!" Friday informed him, loudly that even Wanda heard her. "If he continues drawing energy from the Power Generators, Graviton’s cell will lose its power and he will-“

"Wake up." Tony finished her sentence, shaking his head. "Dammit, patch me into Hope’s comms.”

“Tony, what the fuck-“ Hope exclaimed as soon as Friday established the connection, but Tony quickly cut her off.

“Nadia, keep your distance from Blonsky, let Maximoff try and get inside his head." Tony said the last part while looking at Wanda, who hesitantly nodded "I need to stop Laser before he destroys all of these Power Generators and releases Graviton.”

“Who is Graviton?” Hope asked as The Abomination tried to hit her, but she shrank and flew out of his way.

“Omega Level threat.” Tony answered as he dropped Wanda down and quickly flew behind Laser, pushing the suit to its limit as he tries to catch up with the energy-eating villain.

“Fury?” Rhodey called in surprise when he entered the room with warm sweat dripping from his forehead "What are you doing here?"

“Rhodes.” Fury acknowledged his presence, glancing down at his leg braces. "I take it you were on physical therapy?"

Rhodey opened his mouth but quickly closed it and quickly nodded which made Fury roll his eye as he quickly put two and two together. Plus, Rhodey smells and he doesn't smell like a workout but like Helen Cho.

Rhodey glanced at the screens behind Fury and his eyes widened in alarm. "Is that Raft?"

Fury nodded. “Rogers and Romanoff came for the rest of their group and managed to release every single inmate locked up in that facility." He swallowed and took a deep breath. "Stark went in to try to stop them all from escaping... Alone.”

Rhodey blinked at Fury a couple of times, silently hoping that Fury was just joking but seeing as Fury didn't even glance away from the screens, Rhodey pushed that option quickly out of his mind. “Is he out of his mind?!” He yelled at top of his lungs, frantically moving his hands around. "How does he expect to fight against all of those maniacs on his own?!" He took a few calming breaths and held his hand out. "You know what? Don't tell me. Friday? Patch me up to Tony's comms."

Friday didn't respond anything and Rhodey frowned. Despite what people like to think, Friday is fully sentiment just like Jarvis was. Every choice the female AI makes is her own, and Friday wants to keep Tony safe at all costs so why isn't she responding right now?

"She isn't here." Fury's voice brought Rhodey out of his inner thoughts. "I called Stark already but he just hung up on me. Ever since then it's like Friday isn't even logged at the Tower."

"Right." Rhodey released an exhausted sigh and ran his hand through his hair. "Friday might be smart but she is still a child who wants her father's approval more than anything in the world... If Tony hung up on you, Friday wouldn't talk to you either so she cut herself from this place and focuses solely on Tony and whatever Suit he is currently piloting."

"There is another thing that has been bugging me, Rhodes." Fury admitted with a worried tone that put Rhodey off his game because Fury is never worried. "How long was Stark suppressing his depression?"

"What do you mean?" Rhodey frowned. He is aware that Tony has severe depression along with PTSD but he didn't notice anything about Tony suppressing it. Okay, Rhodey didn't really have any opportunity to notice anything because he spent most of his time in physical therapy ever since Tony woke up. Now that he thinks about it, he actually hadn't heard Tony react to what happened in Siberia at all...

Something that's really uncharacteristic of his friend...

"I have seen his eyes, Rhodes." Fury continued, turning his full attention to Rhodey. "He is hiding it well, but I caught small glimpses of his real eyes under his business mask. They are simply empty, broken. He is just a shell of the man he was before he went to Siberia... before Ultron." Fury swallowed and looked at the monitors that just showed The Living Laser and Iron Man flying around Raft. "Stark might not even realize it, but he wants it to end. He subconsciously wants to die.”

“Who wants to die?” A familiar female voice asked and Rhodey’s eyes went wide.

****

"Laser, stop!" Tony shouted as he chased after The Living Laser, who just absorbed another Power Generator's energy and flew in the direction they originally came from.

"Boss, there are only two active Power Generators left!” Friday informed Tony, who groaned and used his repulsors to boost himself forward, body-slamming into Laser and sanding them both crashing drown on the ground. Laser was the first to recover and he quickly jumped at Tony, trying to absorb the energy from his Arc Reactor. "Not this time, Bitch." Tony muttered to himself as he used Extremis to head up the Suit, burning Laser's hands, and buying himself enough time to kick Laser away from him.

There is one thing Tony learned about The Living Laser from their previous encounter. Laser is immune to most energy-based attacks because he simply absorbs them and adds to his own power, but is highly vulnerable to hand-to-hand combat damage. That's why Tony immediately used his thrusters to boost himself into the air and drop down on Laser, punching him straight across the face, followed by a quick punch into the chest, before grabbing him by the back of his neck and slamming him on the ground.

Laser groaned from pain, but managed to push himself to his knees and fire an energy beam at Tony, who simply sidesteps it. But then Laser's eyes glowed even brighter and Tony realized that he wasn't his real target. Behind Tony was another Power Generator and Laser just absorbed its power as well.

“Only one left.” Friday stated and Tony grit his teeth together as he turned back to Laser and glared at him. “This is going to hurt, Buddy.”

****

Steve woke up feeling pain curse through his whole body as if he was hit by a truck. He quickly looked around him and saw that Clint and Natasha managed to knock Taskmaster out and are now, along with Sam, who picked some gun from a dead guard, firing at The Abomination who isn't paying them any mind.

Instead, The Gamma Beast focuses his attention fully on Scott and Hope, who keep attacking him from all sides, changing sizes with every attack, so The Abomination couldn't hit them back, which made the beast release an angry roar. Wanda then glided in Steve's eyesight and fired her powers at The Abomination's head, who just smirked and turned at her with bloodthirsty eyes, before he ran at her with full speed.

Wanda quickly used her powers to create a protective red bubble around her, but the force of The Abomination's punch forces her to one knee and crushes the floor under her. Wanda grits her teeth and uses more of her power to push The Abomination back, but it has no effect on the beast, who just continues slamming his massive fist at the red bubble which starts to show small cracks.

Steve quickly jumped to his feet and threw himself at The Abomination, grabbing him by the neck and trying to force him away from Wanda, but The Gamma Beast just shrugged him off and backhanded him away again, sending him crashing into Natasha, who wasn't fast enough to duck out of the way.

This desperate attack gave Wanda enough time to recover and she quickly powered up again and released a dark red beam at The Abomination, who actually made a few steps back, nodding to himself with what looked like an impressed facial expression. That was until Wanda's eyes flashed Red and The Abomination felt her in his head and forced her out. Wanda gasped because nobody was able to do that before, but before she could do anything else, The Abomination growled in anger and clapped his hands together, creating a shockwave that send everybody flying.

At that moment, Laser came crushing from the hole above them and landed in front of The Abomination, knocked out. Tony flew inside the room and dropped into his iconic Iron Man pose, lifting his head up to see The Abomination just staring at him. They had a quick staring contest before Tony broke it and started to slowly walk to The Abomination who just continued standing there without any movement.

Then a big Red Armored Hand Burst through the floor under Tony and grabbed him by his broken leg and slammed him on the ground, not releasing him. Crimson Dynamo crawled from the floor and slammed Tony to the ground. "Iron Man." He growled with his heavy Russian accent, as he put his foot on Tony's back, holding him in place.

"Dynamo..." Tony chocked out, grimacing from the pain. "This isn't funny!"

"It wasn't supposed to be." Dynamo responded and grabbed Tony by the neck, slamming him to the ground a few more times, before throwing him at the others who were knocked out by The Abominaton's clap.

"Come on... Guys!" Tony painfully exclaimed, pushing himself back to his feet. "We all know how this is going to end up going down, so why don't we skip the fight and you just don't return to your cells-" He bit his tongue when he saw what was in front of him.

The Abomination joined Crimson Dynamo and stood on his left, but unfortunately for Tony, Zemo, Laser, Taskmaster, and Radioactive Man also recovered and joined the former two. To make things even worse, Blizzard somehow got free from the Ice and joined the others with a smug smirk on his face. "You were saying, Stark?"

Tony closed his eyes and let his head fall down while Laser absorbed the last remaining Power Generator and the whole Raft immediately lost all power and all of the lights, alarms, and everything turned off.

"That's way better." Laser purred in satisfaction as his eyes and hands sparked with yellow energy.

Then it started. The whole Raft started to violently shake and almost everyone who was still standing fell flat on their ass. Graviton then burst through the floor, hovering above them like a God who was casting down his judgment. His eyes were dangerously glowing white.

"Fuck..." Tony muttered to himself as the others started coming around to their senses while Graviton just stared at them with anger visible on his face.
