[REWRITTEN] You Chose The Wrong Side

Nobody dared to say a word or even move. Everybody, even the Villains, were frozen at the sight of a man wearing a Black and Blue Suit, who flew above the ground without any equipment while his eyes glowed with bright white color.

Graviton ignored them and kept looking through the huge hole in Raft's roof at the bright blue skies. He glanced down at his hands and frowned, quietly muttering to himself. "What is this place? How long was I in here?"

“Dr. Hall?” Tony carefully called out, lifting his hands up in surrender and slowly walking towards him while the others just quietly watch. When Graviton turned to him, Tony retracted his helmet and smiled “Hi. I’m Tony Stark.” Almost everybody gasped at the sight of Tony's young appearance but Tony ignored them and focused solely on Graviton in front of him."Can I call you Frank? I will call you Frank. I am not going to pretend that you know how you feel right now, but I really need you to stay calm."

"Calm?!" Graviton yelled and the whole Raft shook again, making everybody except Tony go tense and prepare to either fight or run, while Tony just put his hands even higher above his head to reassure Hall that he is no threat. "Where is that bastard?! Where is Ross?”

“Not here.” Tony responded, taking a deep calming breath. “Look, I don’t know what really happened between the two of you. I just know that there was an accident-”

“An accident?!” Graviton hissed, making Tony freeze. That's what Fury told him...“ Is that what that bastard tells people? It wasn’t an accident. I warned him that we weren’t ready for the tests, but he insisted and then locked me inside and left me to die!” Raft shook again and Graviton's eyes burned even brighter. "My wife committed suicide because she thought I was dead and it wall Ross's fault!"

Tony quickly reminded himself that Hall was mentally unstable even before the incident that granted him his powers, so it wouldn't be smart to make any sarcastic remarks. It doesn't surprise him that Ross lied about Hall. If anything, Tony sees even more of himself in Hall.

They both lost their loved ones. They are both scientists who have superpowers and both were betrayed and left to die by someone they worked with.

"Frank." Tony swallowed hard, closing his eyes in regret. "Years ago, I have lost my fiancee too." Everyone except Hope glanced at Tony with a shocked expression, but he ignored it and continued addressing Graviton, whose eyes softened and showed a hints of sympathy. "I know how you feel and in your place, I would want revenge too, but your powers are unstable."Any hint of sympathy that was in Graviton's eyes vanished and his eyes turned cold. "I can see gravitational levels spiking around you even now-"

“You are one of his lap dogs, aren’t you?” Graviton accused with a dangerous expression on his face and Tony seriously prays to any god that might be out there that nobody dares to say something smart.

Unfortunately for Tony, he is either on all of God's naughty lists or they simply don't exist because Steve loudly scoffed and Graviton's face twisted into an angry and murderous expression, as walls around them started to crack and the room became smaller and smaller.

"Frank!" Tony tried one last time. "I promise that Ross will pay for everything he did to you but you need to-"

"Liar!" Graviton yelled and a metal pipe almost hit Tony in the head. "He will pay. He will pay with his life! The whole world will pay for taking my wife away from me!"

"Boss..." Friday called out with a worried tone as the room around them became even smaller. "He is not going to stop."

"I know." Tony signed and quickly used both of his repulsors to fire at Graviton, who used some rouble to protect himself and then outstretched his hand at Tony and threw him through the wall and outside Raft.

“Tony!” Hope cried out and quickly flew after him while Graviton turned around and outstretched both of his hands, lifting himself even higher into the air. Then the whole Raft shook again, but this time more violently as the whole Prison lifted from the Water and started rising in the Air.

"What the hell is he doing?!" Sam screeched, barely managing to hold on to a piece of metal, while Scott, Natasha, Clint Taskmaster, Radioactive Man, and Zemo all lose their balance and fell to the ground that was slowly ripping apart.

“He is tearing this place into pieces.” Zemo answered his question as he managed to drag himself to some rouble. “Taking all of us with it.”

“Not on my watch.” Abomination growled as he lunches himself at Graviton, only to be frozen in mid-air. "What is this trickery?!"

"Beast." Graviton growled out and send The Abomination flying into the Sea bellow them with a disgusted and unimpressed look on his face.

Wanda, Radioactive Man, Crimson Dynamo, Blizzard, and Laser all fired their energy beams at Graviton, who again used some broken rouble to cover himself, before sending it crashing down at the one Avenger and four villains, who barely managed to move out of the way of being crushed, unfortunately, one brick managed to hit Wanda in the head, knocking her out with a bloodied wound on her forehead.

Steve stood up to his full height, ready to go fight against Graviton, but before he could even make one step, Natasha grabbed him by the arm and harshly pulled him back, while also glaring at him in the process. "You saw how easily he defeated Tony, Blonsky, Wanda, and the others. We can't fight this guy on our own. We need to run."

"Nat... this guy is dangerous-" Steve tried to argue but Natasha didn't let him and silenced him with a simple growl.

"I am aware." Natasha hissed. "I saw how easily he put someone as powerful as The Hulk down without even breaking a sweat. We have no chance against him and even if we stayed and somehow magically managed to defeat him, then we will have to deal with Tony, who won't let us leave."

"Tony is-" Steve tried again

"No!" Natasha snapped right away, glaring daggers at him. "Tony is not our friend anymore. We betrayed him and people who betrayed him have a tendency to end up dead. I saw how he aimed at you earlier. He was ready to kill if he couldn't subdue and this time he wouldn't hesitate just because we are his friends." She took a deep breath and turned to the others. "Hall is tearing this whole Prison to shreds. "We are leaving. Let's go!"

"You want to simply run away?!" Scott exclaimed with a disappointed look on his face, pointing at the unconscious Guards around them. "What about all of these people? You are just going to let them all die?! I thought you guys were supposed to be heroes!"

"We are heroes." Steve firmly stated, frowning at Natasha who held her ground.

"I would really like to know what's going on inside that stupid head of yours, Steve." Natasha scoffed, shaking her head. "God this was a mistake... I should've never let you and Barnes go. All of this is your fucking fault!"

"Do you think it's really the best time to talk about this now?!" Steve hissed, his eyes narrowing at her. "Yes it was a mistake on my part but Tony will get over it. He has to."

"Will he?" Natasha questioned with a dark humorless laugh. "He is still haunted by their death. He told me so himself."

"What are you talking about?" Clint questioned with a frown on his face. He knows that Tony is haunted by many deaths but he never specified any names to him. "What does Steve have to do with anyone Tony knew and died?"

"He found out?" Sam asked Steve, who signed and nodded. "Damn... No wonder he is pissed." Steve frowned at Sam, who hold his hands up in surrender. "Hey man, I told you that it would happen if he found out the bad way."

"Can somebody please spill out what are you talking about?!" Clint snapped, glaring at Natasha, Sam, and Steve.

"We will talk about it later." Natasha concluded, shaking her head at them to let it go. "If we stay here we will either get killed or be captured and locked up for decades if not for the rest of our lives." She looked at Steve again and glared. "I'm not going to be captured or killed just because you delusionally believe that the world will see you as a hero ever again."

"We are heroes." Steve stubbornly repeated again with a frown on his face. "Tony and I will talk and sort our problems out, but in the meantime... I believe you are right. None of us are flies and if we stay here we are only putting ourselves in more danger." He picked the unconscious Wanda up in his arms and signed. "We need to run. Let Tony and the Military, who is surely on their way deal with this guy."

"You expect Tony, who was just thrown out of Raft as if he was a paper plane, to win against that guy alone?" Clint asked in disbelief and looked at Natasha. "Nat, you said it yourself. This guy just took down Blonsky, who is possibly even more powerful than The Hulk. You can't seriously expect Tony to survive till the Airforce arrives."

“I’m not going.” Scott stated with a determined look on his face and Clint nodded his head in agreement with him.

"Guys... Look, I don't like this any more than you do, but Steve and Natasha are right." Sam spoke up with an apologetic and pitiful look. "Without our full equipment and Wanda, we have no chance against that guy. He will wipe the floor without us even before we will get close to him."

"I am a guy with bow and arrows." Clint countered with a small smile. "I have been fighting against ridiculous odds ever since The Avengers were formed and do you know who made me feel like I belonged with you guys? It was Tony and Bruce." He turned around and placed Taskmaster's quiver on his back. "So if you want to run away and let all of these people die then run, but I am not leaving one of my friends behind."

“Clint.” Natasha called out in a desperate voice, but Clint just shook his head. "You will die. You have a family who is expecting you at home. Your Kids-"

"And I will be never able to look into my Kids' eyes and explain to them that Uncle Tony died while I was running away from the scene." Clint cut her off, already climbing through the big hole in the ceiling. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself and I don't understand how any of you could."

"What he said." Scott nodded at Clint who smiled and they both climbed over to the roof.

“We need to go, Nat.” Steve said in a soft voice as Natasha sighed and nodded, running away with them towards their borrowed Wakandian Jet.

****

“Tony? Tony?!” Hope shouted and knocked on top of Tony's faceplate as he slowly regained his concusses and groaned.

"Am I in hell?"

"Why the fuck would you be in Hell?" Hope frowned with a confused look on her face.

"Because this is exactly how I imagine Hell." Tony chuckled. "You hovering above me, wearing that hideous black and yellow suit."

"You are jerk..." Hope rolled her eyes and shook her head in amusement, as she helped him back to his feet. She kinda missed being around Tony and his attitude. "How are you feeling?"

Before Tony could respond, a sound of metal snapping in half echoed around them. Graviton flew up into the Air and above Raft, moving the whole Prison facility closer and closer to the mainland.

"Boss, if Graviton continues moving Raft at this velocity, Raft is not going to be able to hold together and will fall apart," Friday informed them with a dread of worry in her tone. "By my calculation, if it continues at this rate, Raft will break apart directly above the first major populated city, causing hundreds of deaths."

"And Graviton still isn't powered up at his full power." Tony added with a frown.

"Not at his full power?!" Hope threw her hands up in the air. "If this isn't his full power then what the hell can he do on full power? Split planets in half?"

Tony opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out. "Friday?"

"I mean... It's possible?" Friday awkwardly admitted. "If he could gather enough focus he could split people in two with a snap of his fingers. Theoretically, of course."

"Where are the idiots?" Tony asked out of clear curiosity.

"They are currently on the run towards the unidentified aircraft parked in the south hangar." Friday harshly answered. "Scans confirmed that it is a Jet made out of Vibranium. Wakandian Tech."

"Of course they are running away." Tony muttered to himself. "Is it surprising that I didn't think for even a second that Rogers wouldn't leave me to deal with this mess on my own?"

"I think it's quite understandable." Friday whispered "But hey! Mr. Barton and Lang stayed behind to help!"

"I'm sorry, what?" Tony questioned in disbelief while Hope smiled to herself.

Hope is happy that Scott decided to stay behind and help, even if he is an idiot. Tony on the other hand is surprised. He and Clint have been good friends, but Tony always believed that if it came down to it, Clint would always choose to follow Steve over him. That's what happened in Germany after all...

Not that he is complaining about their help. He is really happy that at least some of his former teammates cared enough to not face a threat like Graviton on his own.

Even if this whole mission is most likely going to end up in all of their collective death.

Just if on some kind of stupid signal, Scott grew to his Giant-Man size and punched Graviton from behind, sending him flying backward through the air. Honestly, Tony admits that it is impressive to watch Lang in this giant form when his fists aren't aiming at him.

“We should probably help them." Hope muttered, reactivating her helmet over her face, while Tony nodded, snapping his own helmet in its place and jumping in the air.

“You dare?!” Graviton shouted at Scott as he used his powers and forced Scott, who is still in his Giant-Man form, to his knees.

“Gaah! This really wasn’t my best idea…” Scott yelped to himself as he struggled to get back up, but without any luck.

“No kidding.” Tony shouted to him as he flew with Hope from behind Graviton, firing at him and breaking his concentration over Scott, freeing the fallen Giant.

Graviton glared at them, using everything he could as a cover. He was about to attack, but an Arrow penetrated through his defense and exploded directly in his face. Scarring his face and making him roar from pain and anger.

“Huh…" Clint hummed to himself, looking at the borrowed bow and Arrow in his hands with an impressed look on his face. "Not bad for a bow and arrows from a weird Mercenary Girl."

Graviton glared down and Clint and send some pieces of broken rouble at The Archer, who cursed and barely managed to jump out of the way before it could hit him. Tony rolled in the air and shot Graviton from behind, making him crash to the ground, face first. When Graviton lifted his head, Iron Man, Hawkeye, The Wasp, and Ant-Man were looking down at him with pointed weapons at his bleeding face.

“You can still stop this, Frank.” Tony tried for the last time. "Surrender and nobody needs to get hurt."

“I will stop when all of you are dead!” Graviton growled and raised his fist in the air, forcing all four of them to their knees. “You are all beneath me!"

“Boss!“ Friday yelled in alarm as Tony’s suit started to malfunction and most of his weaponry went offline from the pressure.

Tony was about to scream from pain from the pressure that was being on his still not healed leg, but before he could, a magical hammer that both He and Clint recognized very well hit Graviton from above, knocking him away from them, before it returned into the hand of its owner with thunder and lightning hitting in the distance. But Mjolnir didn't return back into the hand of the Man, Clint and Tony expected to see. Instead, they see a female blond, wearing a red and grey version of Thor's outfit, with The Vision on her side.

Vision glared at their enemy, who was too stunned by their entrance to make a move, which gave the Android enough time to tackle him and engage him in close hand-to-hand combat.

"You guys okay?" Female Thor asked with concern clear in her voice as she gracefully dropped on the platform in front of them.

Clint's eyes widened as he immediately recognized her voice. “Jane?!”

“Hi.” Jane greeted with a sheepish smile and an awkward small wave.

“Since when are you... Thor?" Tony questioned and Jane visibly grimaced. "Scratch that question. Since when are you blond?"

"Really?" Hope frowned at him, rolling her eyes.

“I have no freaking idea!" Jane exclaimed, answering Tony's first question and ignoring the rest. "I just touched those broken pieces of this hammer and it somehow repaired on its own and flew directly into my hand!"

“Cool.” Clint said with a fake smile, glaring at the Hammer, before quickly glancing at Tony. "I still think it's a trick, by the way." He then pointed at Vision and Graviton who were fighting in the air behind him. "And I also think that we should focus on that first."

“Right…” Tony trailed off as he noticed Zemo and the other Super-Villains boarding a nearby plane.

Tony locked eyes with Zemo, and he mentally debated if he should just destroy that plane and prevent them from leaving. Raft is going down, there is no chance of preventing that now and if he destroys that plane, Zemo and the others will undoubtedly die. It should be an easy choice, they are after all Super-Villains and will probably end a lot of people if they get to the mainland, but to his surprise, they actually loaded some of the unconscious Guards on board their plane.

Those guards are innocent.

So Tony made his choice and let them leave. It will come to bite him in the ass later for sure, but for now, he has other problems to deal with. His current problem currently gaining upper hand over his Robo-Son.

Vision punched Graviton across the face again, making the said man spit out blood and roar from pain, as he powers up and releases a shockwave that pushes Vision slightly backward.

"What are you?!” Graviton demanded, his eyes glowing like a burning star from anger.

Vision’s lips twitched upwards in small amusement. “I am The Vision.”

“That you are, Wonder Boy.” Tony chuckled as he zoomed past Vision, firing both of his repulsor beams at Graviton, blasting him backward. Tony turned to Vision and smiled inside his helmet. "So, how was your trip, V?"

"It was quite enlightening, Sir." Vision responded with a smile on his face before it turned into a small frown. "I'm just really concerned for Mr. Odinson’s well-being. When I arrived in Norway his Hammer was broken into small pieces before Ms. Foster touched it and it reformed."

Tony is concerned too because Thor would never leave his hammer behind. Not even if it was in pieces. "Yeah, well, we will find him." Tony reassured Vision, who smiled again. A chunk of wall flew at them so Tony quickly pushed Vision out of the way. "Watch out!”

Graviton growled at the two of them, only to be hit by a big bolt of lightning that came from behind Tony and Vision. They both turned and Jane flew in the middle of them with a smirk. "Less talking and more fighting, Boys.” She zoomed past them and slammed into Graviton with Mjolnir at full speed, pushing him backward, and before he could recover, she punched him across the face with very nice battle form, followed by another  lightning strike, which honestly impressed all of them because:

A) since when can Jane fight?

B) How does she control those powers so well?

C) How the fuck is she so calm?!

Tony and Vision flew to assist her but at that moment, Graviton had enough and all three of them were frozen in the air, while Graviton glared at them with anger. “You are forgetting I have absolute control over gravity.” He moved towards Tony and smirked. “I can increase it.” Before Tony could ask what he meant, he was dropped down and vanished in the depths of the Sea, while Graviton turned to Vision and Jane, still smirking like a maniac. “Or I can remove it.”Both Vision and Jane were junked into the air, quickly going higher and higher until they completely vanished from sight.

Graviton smiled at his work, only to be assaulted by Hope and her stingers, which she fired directly at his face. He tried to hit her with his palm, but she was simply too quick for him in her small form and it distracted him long enough for Scott to regrow into his Giant-Man form again and slam his fist on top of Graviton, crushing him on the platform.

“Buddy, you seriously need to work on your anger issues.” Scott joked and Hope signed as she landed on top of his shoulder.

"Scott." Hope shook her head. "Now is not the time to make fun of him."

Scott opened his mouth to say something, but then the entire Raft shook again, and more and more cracks appeared around the roof. A number of fallen debris started floating in the air and directly at Scott, who had to cover himself and Hope, thus releasing Graviton, who blasted into the air, practically shaking from anger now. His hands glowed with the same color as his eyes and Hope and Scott immediately fell to their knees.

"Not again..." Scott groaned, trying his best to free himself from Graviton's grasp. "Arrow Guy! A little help please!"

"Relax buddy." Clint sing-songed as he held one arrow in his mouth while going through his borrowed quiver, looking over the arrows that were at his disposal. "Not that. Not that. Oh, definitely not this one. Uhh, my boomerang arrow!" Clint grinned observing the boomerang arrow with passion in his eyes, before placing it down beside him and shaking his head. "God, Taskmaster really did her homework on me." He picked another arrow and grinned. "Oh, Hello there." Clint stood up and aimed the arrow at Graviton, stopping for a moment and thinking this whole plan through, before shrugging. "Nah, it will be fine." He released the arrow, hitting Graviton in the shoulder and smirking as all of the broken metal around them flew directly at the magnetized Graviton, burying him underneath it all. Clint lovingly smiled at the bow in his hands "Never underestimate the power of the Bow and Arrows."

Clint's victory was unfortunately very short-lived as Graviton burst through all of the metal and gave him a deadly glare. Luckily for Clint, before Graviton could actually use his powers on him, a yellow beam struck him from behind and send him crashing down back into the metal pile Clint's arrow created.

The Archer looked up and saw a Blond Woman wearing a mostly Black, skin-tight, sleeveless battle suit, with a gold flash logo going across her whole chest. She also had a pair of black gauntlets with some gold details on both of her hands, as well as some gold parts on her legs and boots. Her face was covered with a weird black mask that didn't allow Clint to see her face. The Mysterious Woman immediately slammed on top of Graviton with incredible speed, creating a small shockwave around them.

This action made Clint dramatically roll his eyes and lovingly clutch his borrowed bow to the chest. "Everybody has superpowers these days…"

"Who are you?!" Graviton demanded with gritted teeth as he cached her punch, and used his powers to push her back.

"You can call me Ms. Marvel." She told him and her eyes glowed yellow as she forced her arms in front of her and shoot two energy beams at him that send him flying into the air. Graviton catches himself in the air and uses his powers to throw a bunch of things at Ms. Marvel, who just takes it and signs. "That wasn't very nice."

Before she could attack him again, a bolt of lightning struck him from the skies and crushed him to the ground, as Jane and Vision flew to Carol and Jane growled. "That asshole send us to freaking space!"

"Hey." Ms. Marvel held her hands up in surrender with a soft chuckle. "I'm not judging, Girl. You did great! That lightning thing" She grinned and gave her thumbs up. "Just awesome."

"Uhhh." Jane awkwardly trailed off. "Thank you? I guess?

"Wait." Vision frowned, looking around them in alarm, as Scott, Clint, and Hope regrouped under them. "Where is Iron Man?"

****

Tony Stark is afraid of water.

He has been afraid of water for more than six years right now. Well, afraid probably isn't the right word. He has severe PTSD and water is one of his biggest triggers, which is kinda sad because he really used to love swimming.

But how could he not be afraid of water? He was constantly waterboarded for a month in a cold  Afghanistan cave, and then almost drowned when Killian destroyed his Malibu Mansion. He still wishes that it was him who died during both incidents.

U and Butterfingers were supposed to survive Malibu. Yinsen was supposed to survive Afghanistan.

Right at this moment, Tony was no longer at the bottom of the ocean, being pressed down by Gravitons powers. Instead, he was in a dark room, tied down to a medical medial bed, screaming for help while also fully aware that there is no one who can help him. He can hear Raza, screaming at him over and over again. "The most famous mass murderer in the history of America… Jericho, The Jericho, build me the Jericho, the missile you demonstrated. The Merchant of Death."

“Boss." Friday gently called out. "You need to calm down and breathe."

“I can’t… I- I can’t..” Tony quietly choked out and frantically started thrashing around, while also closing his eyes to keep the tears from spilling. "I... I- I won't do it! I won't build it! I won't build you Jericho!"

"You are not in Afghanistan." Friday softly spoke in a comforting voice. "Focus on my voice and cut everything else out of your mind."

“Fri?” Tony whispered in a broken voice, still shaking but at least breathing again.

"Yes, Boss! It's me!" Friday exclaimed with a more cheerful voice. "You know, your Baby Girl, Fri, Friday, The most badass AI in the whole existence..." Tony chuckled at this, but his eyes were still shut close. "Open your eyes, Boss."

"I can't..." Tony shook his head. "I cannot be trapped underwater again... I can't live like this anymore..."

"Do you trust me?" Friday asked with a gentle voice and Tony frowned. He does trust her. He trusts her maybe even more than he trusts Rhodey, and that says a lot.

"Yes." Tony answered

"Then open your eyes for me." Friday said and Tony did as she asked, and instead of being underwater, Tony sees a small digital world with Friday's construct in front of him with a proud smile on her face. "You did it."

"Thank you, Baby Girl." Tony warmly smiled. "For everything."

"Well, what else are Daughters for if not for calming their Fathers down from bad dreams and visions?" Friday asked with a smile that vanished from her face as soon as she realized what she said.

Tony also froze and his jaw dropped. She basically just called him Dad. Well, he kinda is her Father, but he tried not to think about it for obvious reasons that are his own Daddy Issues. He would normally freak out but for some reason, it feels completely natural when it comes from Friday. He actually feels proud of her for calling him Dad.

"I should consider myself lucky then." Tony smiled at her. "Not all Daughters are so kind as you, Fri."

Friday looked up at him with a confused look on her face "You are not mad?"

"Why would I be?" Tony asked with a frown. "I am your Father in a sense, so I guess it makes sense if you feel a need to address me with that name."

Friday smiled at him brightly and nodded. "Thank you, Dad." She titled her head to the sight and grinned. "Uhhh, by the way. the gravitation force pulling us down is no longer there. We are free to return to the surface."

"Wait." Tony shook his head, looking in deep thought. "We need a more permanent way to deal with Graviton. He is clearly more durable than a baseline human being, but not indestructible."

"Yes." Friday agreed. "That explosive Arrow from Mr. Barton proved as much but I don't suspect we have something we could use to slice his head off." She frowned, biting her lips. "We need something big."

"Are those Power Generators still active?” Tony suddenly asked, looking distanced for a few seconds, staring at something behind Friday, but when she turned she saw nothing.

“No." Friday answered with furrowed eyebrows. "Mr. Dramatic or The Living Laser drained them all."

“But are they still in one peace?” Tony asked, rising to his feet.

“They should be..." Friday nodded, looking at him with suspicion clear on her face. "What are you planning?”

Tony gave her a small smile as flew to the surface. He didn't answer her question for the whole ride up.

****

Clint fired another explosive arrow at Graviton and Scott threw at it one of his blue Pym Disks, making the Arrow increase in size but before it could hit the target, Graviton redirected it back at them, making them yelp and quickly jump out of the way. Vision zoomed from behind them and stopped in midair, turning around and seeing that the floating Prison is quickly approaching the mainland.

"Oh, dear." Vision frowned, speaking loud enough for all of them to hear him. "If my calculations are correct. We have approximately 7,12 minutes until Raft reaches the closest city!" He stopped and uncomfortably grimaced. "And we also have only 8,44 minutes until the whole foundation of Raft snaps and collapses, destroying the whole facility and sending all of the pieces down on the city."

"Yeah, well, this guy is pretty stubborn to stay down." Hope shouted back as she fired another set of her stingers at Graviton, who just groaned in response. Jane flew above them, striking down even more lightning, but Graviton quickly flew out of the way and used his powers to grab Jane and push her into Hope, sending them both crashing to the ground, while groaning in pain too. "He also has no respect for girls..."

“Fuck…” Jane cursed, massaging her jaw.

“Everybody grab as many people as you can and evacuate.” Iron Man orders over the comms to those who could hear him. “I have an idea that will blow this whole thing to hell along with Graviton.”

“Sir?” Vision hesitantly questioned.

“Do it.” Tony snapped and cut the communication off.

“You heard the man. Let’s go.” Clint said as he put his bow down and started to grab the Guards and lay them down on a large chunk of metal. Clint glanced into the skies and frowned. "Hey! Flying Blond Lady!" Ms. Marvel looked down at him and raised an eyebrow. "Help us evacuate this Prison! Iron Man has a plan for how to deal with that guy."

At that moment, Iron Man flew out of the water, his Suit sparking all over the place. He blasted Graviton from behind, followed by a punch to the face and kick to the gut, before quickly throwing him down on the Rafts platform and smashing down on him with his whole weight, sending them both crashing down back to the lower levels.

Ms. Mavel for some reason, unknown to Clint, bit her lips, but eventually nodded and flew down to help them evacuate the Guards while muttering something that Clint couldn't quietly understand, but Hope apparently did, and it made her gasp and look at Marvel as if she saw a ghost. "Carol?!"

Ms. Marvel froze and stared at Hope with confusion until Hope retracted her helmet and Marvel gasped. "Nadia?!"

"You know each other?" Scott asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We will talk later, Guys and Girls...and Lang." Clint said while Scott rolled his eyes. "Let's focus on getting these guys to safety and getting out of this godforsaken place!"

"Oh, you can be sure will talk." Hope said with a blank voice, still staring at Marvel who was looking back at her but with sadness before she signed and continued loading up the guards on the piece of metal.

****

Tony pushed Graviton towards the nearest Power Generator and slammed him down, dragging his face across the floor and leaving a bloody trail behind them. Graviton managed to flip Tony away from him, wiping his face from the blood as gave Tony a death glare.

“Fri?" Tony quietly called out, dodging as Graviton starts throwing all kinds of stuff at him. "What weapons do I still have?”

“Lasers offline, Missiles offline, Repulsors offline. Sonic Cannon Offline." Friday answered and grimaced. "Honestly, I’m surprised that flight is still available... Scratch that. Flight systems also just died.”

"Wonderful..." Tony sarcastically muttered under his breath as Graviton managed to hit him with something and knock him to his knees. "Can you at least open the rocket housing on my left arm?”

“Yep.” Friday answered and Rocket come out from Tony’s left arm.

"Oh, goody!" Tony cheerfully exclaimed, glancing at Graviton with a smirk on his face. "Fri, eject the left Gauntlet.” The Gauntlet immediately detached from the rest of the damaged Mark 47 and Tony just hopes that he isn't a complete idiot as he manually activates the missile and puts the whole Gauntlet on the ground, confusing Graviton who just stares at him. Tony grins inside his helmet and kicks the Gauntlet at Graviton like a goddamned football player.

Unfortunately, Tony would suck at Football as the Gauntlet flew past Graviton, exploding on the impact with the wall and sealing them both inside the Raft. Graviton just shook his head at Tony in total dissapoiment and outstretched his hand, sending Tony crushing down at the top of the Power Generator.

"Fri?" Tony called out with a grunt as he simply couldn't get back up. His broken leg still didn't heal and he is sure that this last hit just made it a lot worse. "Is everybody safe and off The Raft?"

“Yes." Friday answered, appearing on his HUD and looking worried. "Vision and that New Girl are just carrying the last group to the mainland. It will take him at least 20 more seconds till he is available to return here and get you out."

"I'm not getting out of here, Fri." Tony sadly smiled as one tear ran down his cheek. "I told you that I simply can't live like this anymore..."

"What do you mean?" Friday frowned, looking at him with a confused face expression. "We still have enough time till Raft reaches the city. You will be fine, you just need to hold down for now."

"I'm done fighting, Fri." Tony whispered and closed his eyes. "Edwin. Gulmira. 2001."

"Dad, don't!" Friday's eyes immediately went wide with frantic fear as she realized what Tony was doing. "Please..."

"Remember that I am proud of you and that I love you, Baby Girl." Tony smiled Friday frantically shook her head. "Keep an eye on your Little Sister, Spiderling, and The Bots for me. Please." Friday opened her mouth to say something with tears rolling down her holographic cheeks, but before she could actually say anything, she vanished from his HUD and was locked out of the Suit.

“I’m going to kill you. Then I’m going to kill them and then Ross.” Graviton yelled as he stepped on top of Tony’s chest, his eyes glowing white. “You are nothing!”

“Yo-You are not wrong…” Tony choked out, making Graviton freeze as bright orange light shined from within Tony’s suit. “Goodbye, Frank. I hope you will see your wife again." He released a powerful heat shockwave that overloaded The Power Generator and created a small explosion.

That small explosion overheated other Power Generators and they all exploded at once, creating one big, bright explosion that brought down the whole Raft, sinking it under the sea for one last time. From the surface, The Civilians and The surviving Guards all cheered and celebrated as they realized they were saved, while The Heroes who fought against Graviton all stared at the explosion with wide horrified eyes when they saw no Iron Man flying out of it.

Over the course of his life, Tony wondered many times where would his soul end up after death. He wasn't a believer, but his Mother and Ana Jarvis were, which made him hope that he would go to Heaven so he could be reunited with them and everybody else he lost. He still wasn't a believer but he would swear that he saw an Angle when he closed his eyes for the last time.

An Angle with beautiful blond hair and the sweetest and most gentle voice he ever heard. A familiar voice of his dead lover. “Welcome home, Tony.”
