Let There Be...Carnage !

Steve got out of the car, and walked forward. His team loyally following him from behind.

That's when he saw him.

"Tony !"

It was the first time that he saw Tony since Siberia. He looked good....very good indeed.

Steve felt his heart accelerate a bit at seeing him. Soon, they'll finally be able to get together for good.

"Rogers." He greeted them.

Steve and his team walked in front of them.

He saw Thor, and Steve was glad to see him there. The woman had to be Nat's sister. He knew the man with the cape was Doctor Strange. But he had no idea who the other is.

"Tony....is so good too see you."

"Can't really say the same."

"Tony." Steve said disappointed. Why did Tony have to be so difficult ?

"Yeah that disappointed frown is not gonna work with me anymore buddy. But you still have the nack at showing up at the worst time possible."

"This is about Kasady." Natasha said. "You are after him as well."

"Well of course. A killer like him with a monster, it's not something that I like out on the streets."

"Then we gotta work together to stop him !" Steve said, with hope. This was the perfect chance for Tony to make amends with the team, and return to where he truly belongs. Not with the fake New Avengers, but with the real heroes. His real family. "Tony come with us. We can stop Kasady, together."

"Wow...you are clearly just as delusional as I remember."

"Tony..."

"No Rogers. I am never getting back with you, on my life."

"And what if we get pardoned ?" Natasha questioned.

"The time Elis tried to get you pardoned, costed him the election. No US politician is willing to get their positions in jeopardy for you. And the rest of the world hates you're guts. So a pardon for you people is....highly unprovable."

"But you can help us right ?" Steve said. "Tony, you don't have to hide it anymore. We will forgive you if you help us get back home. We can be a family again. Just...let us be united again. Come on Tony."

Steve held his hand for Tony to take. He had to take it. The Avengers needed to be back together.

"Wow." Yelena spoke. "And here I thought that Alexei was bad."

"Do you really expect for friend Tony to just welcome you back, after all you did to him." Thor asked, not believing them.

"Do you really believe everything that Stark tells you." Clint growled.

"Oh I do Barton. Specially since he has the video footage to proof it. Unlike you all, I don't believe in things blindly."

Steve understood the jab that Thor just showed them.

"You showed them that !" Steve yelled at Tony. Tony just glared at him.

"I thought you didn't like any secrets Rogers. I was just following your motto."

"That was supposed to be private Tony !" Did he had any idea how much that must have hurt Bucky. To know others now know that !

"Steve, what is he talking about ?" Sam asked.

"It's nothing ! Just trust me. Once we are back, everything will be cleared."

Sam looked at him for a bit, but then nodded.

"Keeping secrets from them Cap ? My, you never change. But enough about that. Are you gonna make this easy, or not ?"

Steve growled. He picked the new shield SHIELD had given him.

"You know I can't do that Tony."

"Ok then, your grave then."

Steve signaled his team, and they charged.

The man that Steve didn't' know stepped forward.

"You sure about this Eddie ?"

"Sure, I need some warm up."

Warm up, what is he talking about ?

"Mask !"

"Copy !"

And then, a black monster appeared out the man. One just like Kasady !

"What the hell is that !" Clint yelled.

Steve had no time to react, as he was pounced by the monster.

Tony took flight to deal with Wilson. Thor and Stephen went for Maximoff. Venom focused on Rogers and Barton.

That left Yelena to deal with her sister.

"Perfect."

Natasha and her circled around each other.

"Hm, family reunion."

"What are you doing here Yelena ?"

"I had to take care of Dreikov, so I asked for help. Tony gladly gave it to me."

"You really believe him." Natasha said, clashing their batons.

"I mean. I certainly believe him more than you. You barely got to know him."

"Stark is an egotist, he only cares about himself..."

"Oh spare me the bullshit. Coulson told me that report was made to be fake. No one at the higher ups believed it. It was just a way to control Tony."

Natasha stopped for a moment.

"You are lying..."

"Am I ? I thought you were better than that Natasha. Then again, you have really bought your own legend."

Their batoons collided again, but since Yelena's are more high tec and well maintained, they break Natasha's batons from the hit.

She quickly responded with a kick, sending Natasha to the ground.

"He...is only using you..."

"Like you do with people. Like I said, stop the bullshit. You seem to habit of projecting yourself on Tony."

"I don't..."

"No ? Let's see. You say he lies, when you are the one that lies all the time.That huge ego, that is yours, and is broken, therefore you are lashing out. Using me, you have the habit of using people. Like if you could have, you would already have ditched Rogers and went back to Tony because he is the winning side."

Natasha didn't speak....because that is the truth.

"But since he has finally seen who you really are. You know there is no going back, so are desperate trying to fix a sinking ship, knowing that the only way to get back to the position you love is for Rogers to be leader again."

Natasha tried to shoot her widow bites at her, but Yelena's best just made them bounce of.

"Well....you didnt think Tony thought about that ?"

Yelena shot her own widow bites, and Natasha did fall to the ground.

"Gah !"

"Wow...you are sloppy."

"Why do you care so much about him ! What did he give you ..."

Yelena thought about it. Why did she care a lot about Tony.

He is the first person to open up to her. To help her be someone outside a Black Widow.

She enjoys his company a lot and.......and she might as well admit, she has deeper feelings for him.

"I just do, none of your business. But unlike you....you can know this for certain, I won't leave his side. No matter what."

With that, Yelena hit Natasha on the face, knocking her out.

Steve was thrown to the ground by the black monster.

He grunted as he tried to stand up.

He saw Sam fighting Tony in the air. But Tony clearly had the upper hand.

"SHIT !" Sam yelled, "Steve I am down !"

"Clint, Wanda ! Give Sam some support !"

"AAAAH !"

Steve turned and saw that Wanda was being held down by Doctor Strange. Thor was not helping the matters.

"WANDA !"

Steve hurried to help her, but Venom quickly punched him again.

"Is this all ? I was expecting more of a fight !"

"SHUT UP !" Steve tried to attack, but he just went right threw the beast.

"Wrong move." Venom kicked Steve away. Steve was sent to a wall.

Steve tried to get up again, but Venom punched him on the face.

Venom pinned Steve to the ground. Steve tried to get himself free, but was unable too.

"Hmm. Eddie. I....I don't think we should eat him."

Steve gasped suprise. Was this monster gonna eat him ? Would Tony really allow this to happen ? Specially after how he and Steve feel for each other ?

"Why not ?"

"Because he is so stupid. I am afraid how his brain will affect my stomach."

"Oh for the....wait. Why am i complaining. Yeah don't eat him, the world wants him to be held accountable."

Steve tried to get free, he had to stop this monster. He has to save Tony from this new Avengers. They are clearly doing something to him. Poisoning against his true family.

But then....

"AAAAAAAH !"

A super sonic scream was heard and both Venom and Steve were sent flying.

Steve covered his ears, but it was too much. His head spinned around until he was knocked out....

Tony had just gotten Wilson down, when FRIDAY warned him of the coming arrow.

Tony easily grabbed it.

"Really Barton ?"

"Fuck you Stark. You will pay for making Laura divorce me !"

"Why am I not suprised. You people can't take responsibility for what you have done."

"She would never have done that if it wasn't for you fucker !" Barton yelled, preparing to shoot again, when....

"AAAAAH !"

Tony immeidatly flew back. His suit protected his ears, but it scrambled his systems.

"Guys, Barrison is here....guys ?"

"Everyone is stunned by the sonic scream !" Friday said.

Tony groaned and went back to the ground, to try to find Barrison.

"Friday ?"

"I'm sorry boss. She scrambled the systems, and....boss. There she is !"

Tony turned and saw Barrison smirking at him.

"That's a nice trick there."

"Mr. Stark. Used to be such a fun."

"Heard that a lot. Why are you doing here Barrison. I heard Xavier was trying to get you on his school"

"Yeah but I got no desire to join that goodie good shoes. I am happy breaking things with my fiancee."

"Fiancee ? Did you watch Frozen ? Because marrying that fast is not a good idea."

"Heh he, SHIELD didn't allow movies on the Raven. But enough about that. Cletus wants to meet."

"Yeah, is he here ?"

"Oh no no no. He is getting everything ready for our wedding, and you are invited !"

"And what makes you think i am gonna allow you to get to him ?"

"Unless you want him to be eaten."

Francis threw her phone at Tony, who looked and the video, and saw...

Carnage...holding a broken Peter on his hand.

Carnage smirked. "I am waiting."

"Mr. Stark....help." The kid cried.

"Peter !"

Francis laughed loudly.

"And if you don't believe me. Just look what we already did to your friend."

She threw a picture at Tony, and Tony froze.

No....

"So...you know we are not kidding. We are gonna wait for you, and please, make sure that Eddie Brock and Venom come with you. See you then."

She walked away but Tony didn't notice.

He was too busy looking at the picture.

A few hours earlier.

Peter was pacing around the room, he was so worried.

"Will you calm down." MJ said. "You are making me nervous."

"Sorr sorry. it's just..I am worried about Mr. Stark. I feel like I should be out there.”

“Dude. Have you seen the monster that has been out there. I’d be scared out of my mind.” Ned said.

“I agree that you could train with the Avengers Peter, but this man is too much,” may said. “We are safe here, right Happy ?”

“Yes we are safe....”

“Oh what do we have here...”

They all turned to see Cletus inside the safe house.

“Ah what a little happy family we have here.” Cletus laughed. “All of you are Stark’s family....so you can tell me where he is,”

Peter got in fighting position. But Happy stood in front of him.

“May, take the kids out of here, and call Tony !”

“Yeah May, do that !”

Cletus made Carnage appear and took Happy.

“HAPPY NO !”

Peter rushed after him, ignoring the yells of his friends.

He suited up quickly and climbed on the wall, were Carnage was holding Happy.

“So strong yet so powerless.” The monster growled.

“PETER RUN !” Happy yelled.

“HAPPY !”

Peter tried to attack but Carnage held him at bay.

“HAPPY NO !”

Happy just gave him a smile.

“Don’t worry kid. Knew this day might come.”

“Happy no please ! I...I can’t loose...”

“Take care of Tony for me Pete.”

Then Carnage came and ate Happy’s head, killing him in front of Peter.

“HAPPY NOOOOOOO !”

He had failed. First his parents, then Uncle Ben, And now Happy is Dead as well.

Carnage turned to him.

“Don’t cry little spider, you are the key to bring Iron Man and Venom to their dooms, and then, no one will stop me.”

Tony watched the video silently.

Happy.....his old friend.....he’s gone.

And Peter is trapped. All for a man he helped catch.

This is his fault. Peter’s capture And Happy’s Death is his fault.

“I know what you are thinking.”

Tony slowly turned and saw Yelena.

“Did you see it.”

“Yes.....I’m very sorry. I know what he meant to you.”

Tony didn’t speak.

“You are thinking this is your fault.”

“I caught Kassady, back in 2014 before SHIELD fell. He did this for revenge.”

“You, as a hero, caught the most dangerous man out there. All of this, is on him and his twisted mind. Do not blame yourself for this,”

“I just,,.”

“No stop.” Yelena held his hands. “I know you are used to taking the blame for things that aren’t your fault. Your old team didn’t help with that. But that time is over, you don’t have to carry this alone.”

“Yelena...”

“You saved me, when no one else did. And helped me become human again. I want to help you, not just on gratitude but because.....I know what being alone is, and I don’t want both of us to feel it.”

The two stared at each other, before finally kissing.

That lasted for about two minutes, before someone interrupted.

“Huh. About dam time.” Rhodey said.

They glared at him, but he wasn’t faced,

“Listen I’ll like to say many things like, I knew it, but that can’t wait. With the chaos the Rouges got away, but we got more problems.”

“You found them already ?”

“No Tones. Kassady And Barrison ain’t hiding. They want us to come to them. Those monsters are only leaving more bodies as they go. We need to end this, and now.”

“Right.” He turned to Yelena. “I assume you’ll help me avenge Happy right ?”

“Oh you don’t even have to ask. Kassady is fighting with his girl right, well then, we should match them.”

Tony smiles at her.

“Let’s finish this then.”

What Tony and Yelena didn’t know, is that Steve had watched their kiss.

He gripped his teeth and fists in heartbreak. That woman is taking Tony from him.

No, he won’t allow this to continue. It’s time for things to go back to the way they were.

He has to save Tony, so they can finally be together.

“Cap.” Clint called. “We were lucky, that freak allowed us to escape....so what’s the plan ?”

“As soon as Nat is up, we move. We are taking Kassady down, and then the Accords are next.”

He turned back to see Tony one more time.

“Don’t worry Tony. I’ll save you, and we can finally be together. I promise.”

In the Quinjet, all of the Avengers got ready.

“So you are ready for this Eddie ?”

“I mean..ready not, but I wanted it to end so.....yeah ?”

“THATS THE SPIRT.”

Venom appeared and gave a loud roar.

“TIME TO FIGHT !”

In the cathedral. Carnage stood on the top.

“They are coming, yes. Finally, we will end this......”

He gave a loud roar to the sky.

“LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN !”
