Jell-O Monsters
"Iron Man, come in."
Tony rolled his eyes at the Captain's use of formal words. "Hell yeah, Cap! Time to blow all the Jell-O monsters up!" He grinned as he heard Clint's tell-tale snort over the comms and imagined the look of disdain on the poor Captain's face.
Blasting the monsters up was fun, but after seeing each one being replaced by two more, Tony decided to get to the root of the problem. Or, as he decided to called it, the centre of the Jell-O. "Hey, where are these things coming from?"
"A scientist from Hammer Tech gone rogue, we think. he hasn't been sighted near the battle yet, but keep your eyes peeled for him." Steve explained shortly. Tony saluted the Captain, who was nearby and looking at Tony with a frown on his face, and flew off to another street.
Suddenly, Tony spotted a man in a white coat hurrying towards a building- with a strange-looking gun in his hands. "Hey, guys! I think I have eyes on the scientist. I'm going in to get him!"
"Be careful!" Came Steve's warning reply and Tony had to resist rolling his eyes yet again as he sped towards the building. "Why does Capsicle always have to be so serious?" Tony mused to himself. Landing with a thump, he walked towards the man, who was trying to hide behind some plants.
"Come on, let's get you into custody, Bill Nye." Tony reached out and brushed away the plant leaves.
"Don't come any closer, or I-I'll shoot." Tony froze, his hand just inches away from the man, and looked up to see the man pointing the strange gun at him. Who knew what the gun could do against his armour, but from the way the man obviously thought he had the upper hand, Tony did not want to take any chances. Stepping away from the scientist, Tony raised his hands and said soothingly, "Sure, we'll do it your way. Just don't fire the gun. If you do, there's no guarantee you'll ever see outside your prison walls again."
"Now what?" Tony wondered. They had obviously reached a stalemate- where the scientist could not fire the gun at him without risking being caught, and he could not arrest the scientist without risking casualties.
Unfortunately, the good Captain Rogers decided to intervene. "Stark!" Steve yelled as he burst into the room. Tony whipped around quickly and frantically gestured for Captain to stop.
Then everything turned to black.
