Iron Phoenix: Heartfire

in a world where civil war never happened because Barnes turned himself in and told Toni the truth, Toni and Stephen have been together since A1 (and I might give u cavities TBD) but Toni has a well-kept secret when she's not genius, billionaire, philanthropist, or iron maiden she moonlights with the X-men, as one of the most powerful technopathic and phoenix mutants, but no one needs to know that. except for Charles and all the little gremlins at the academy.Toni has died countless times but the difference is she's always alone when she is engulfed in molten metal. she didn't mean to be caught in an explosion in front of Stephen and Peter when hydra starts hunting iron maiden. to keep them safe, iron maiden has to stay dead. Stephen is a mess, Peter isn't eating, Rhodes and potts are pissed the most important person to them is dead, and Rogers just keeps denying that he ordered her to go into the base. Heartfire is such an ironic name, Toni thinks bitterly, her heart is made of the metal and tech she can mold with her mind, and her fire will rage for all eternity just like any phoenix. her rebirth is a blessing and a curse, she was so lonely, after all, death is a blessing but dying is torture.
