"Prestige! Prestige! Wake up!"
Prestige opened his eyes trying to catch a glimpse on what is happening. The whole cockpit was on fire. In the far end, he saw Wolverine trying to slash open the cabin door with his razor sharp claws. Scott is beside him trying to burn a hold through the doors but all effort was in vein as they had built the whole plane with vibranium. Storm was trying hard to balance the plane but an unknown force was dragging the plane downwards.
Prestige finally laid eyes on Jean who was waking him up. "Jean? Wh-what happened?"
He felt dizzy as something warm and wet was running down his shoulder. A bullet was stuck in his shoulder! When n where did it happened?! He was about to pass out due to blood loss until Jean grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Could you teleport us? We're going to be fried chickens if we don't get out now!"
"I'll try... B-but only one person at a time. I've used up most of my energy on the fight just now but I'll tr-try..."
Prestige stood up and hold on to the seat for support. Jean held his waist to help him get to wolverine.
"Logan! Come! Prestige will teleport us out!" Prestige touched his fingers on Logan's arm and they disappeared out of thin air. After a few minutes, Prestige appeared again. His wound had became worst, the blood loss was severe. He forced a weak smile on his pale face and teleported Scott then followed by Storm. When he came back for Jean, he was already too late. The next thing he knew was the plane had crashed, with him and Jean in it. Black too over his conscious and he passed out.
"Prestige! Shh, don't worry, SHIELD's coming. I had to go. I removed your mask and wiped out any evidence on our existence. Don't worry, you'll be safe..." Prestige was too weak to response and he passed out again.
"Tony! What the hell is he doing here?"
Prestige opened his eyes when he heard that familiar voice. A blonde muscular man crouched beside him.
"Ste-Steve" Prestige choked out the word. His throat was dry, his wound had cracked and his back was burned.
Natasha was standing beside Steve, speaking into her walkie: "Sir, apparently we found Stark. He's injured but still conscious. We need medics!"
Steve looked at his injured team mate with a curious glance. 'Why in the world is he here?' He kept asking himself the same question. A few hours ago, Tony was still playing around with his high tech toys in his lab at the Avengers tower. He didn't even realise that Tony was gone. Was Tony kidnapped? It could be, but he was on the plane, with a gunshot on his shoulder. No sign of any torture or restrain on his body. What in the world was the famous Iron Man doing here without his suit? Steve was confused. Although he didn't know Tony that well, but he's sure Tony will not lie to him. What is Tony not telling him?
Natasha ran into the cockpit along with a few medics. They got Tony onto the stretcher and flew back to the hellicarrier. Tony had a surgery to remove d bullet from his shoulder n a few stitches on his limbs. His back was treated carefully to prevent them from leaving scars. He was discharged after two weeks and he then went back to stay with Pepper at his mansion in Malibu.
