Chapter One
This has Gone too Far
I have seen other authors start on this idea (mainly on AO3), but all them were created a while ago, not finished, and only had one or two chapters. But it is a interesting idea. This is just about two friends as they rebuild and heal, though I might have a few chapters about the growing bond between Tony and Peter. This is strictly a friendship story and there will only be background relationships at most. This is going to be in third person but it will be through one person. Different chapters might be through different characters depending on how this story goes. Quotes from the movie will be in bold. If are curious and ask I could do scenes in different POV but they would be in different chapters. Also if you find any mistakes or think that the characters are out of character feel free to tell me and I'll try to fix it as well as answer questions in the author notes. I don't own the MCU Avengers. That would be the movie crew and comic book authors. Without further ado I give you The Fall of a Friend.
(Rhodey's POV)
This wasn't meant to happen. The Rouges are giving everything they got while his team is reluctant to seriously hurt those they consider friends. Except for Black Panther, but he is after revenge against Barnes. The latter is attempting to escape with Rogers. Tony follows with Rhodey close behind and Falcon trying to keep them from stopping the super soldiers.
"Vision, I've got a bandit on my six." As War Machine flew to the left side of Iron Man, Falcon fired missiles that exploded in front of them. "Vision, do you copy? Target his thrusters, turn him into a glider." Falcon managed to dodge and the blast hit Iron Man, disabling Friday and the arc reactor. As he fell, his speed increased. War Machine and Falcon flew after him, but they were too late. A crater formed when Tony hit the ground. Rhodey was the first to land after him. Within seconds the Iron Man faceplate was ripped off. Rhodey's hands shook as he checked for a pulse. It was faint, they need to act fast. Right then Wilson landed and sees the damage done.
"I'm sorry." Rhodey lifts a arm and blasts enough to knock him out. He barely hears Vision telling him that medical help was on the way. All he could think of was the recent events. They weren't fighting an enemy, but teammates. They were supposed to be friends, and yet the Rouges didn't care about the injuries they caused.
When the medical team arrived Rhodey couldn't move. He could only watch as they placed a oxygen mask on Tony and connected him to a heart monitor. In his head one phrase was playing over and over. This has gone too far.
I don't know much about medical procedures so sorry if I left out something.
