The first in the line of what I hope will become a series of oneshots based on the series.
Basically I take scenes from the series where I feel something is missing, or where I just want to create the line of thought in the characters head in the situation.
I believe it will be mostly Stony(StevexTony) but maybe I'll get inspiration with other characters, we'll see.:)
This first one is from:
The Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes – Season 2 episode 12, Secret Invasion
Tony, who has been beat by a virus created by the skrull, is lying on the floor dying, as he hears a familiar voice talk to the skrull queen in the room. This is what I imagine is going through his head.
I believe it's for the best if you have actually watched the series.^^ (You should be able to find it on Netflix, and it will make understanding this a whole lot easier.)
…
"I understand my Queen, Captain America out."
The words cut through him like daggers and Tony's expression went from pained to extreme surprise.
The pain, he already felt all over his body, seemed to become worse as the new discovery dawned on him.
Captain America was the skrull. Steve had been defeated, god knows when, and this fake had paraded around looking and acting like him. No one had suspected him once.
They had trusted the man with their lives numerous times, intrusted him with important tasks and last but not least; shared important information with him.
Tony cursed at himself for not noticing; after all he was probably the one person who had been most likely to notice the change in the Cap.
Now Tony remembered; some months ago he had actually noticed a change in the blond.
Their relationship had for some time been more… intense, romantic actually. Tony and Steve had been lovers, or so Tony had thought, because those months ago, Steve suddenly stopped taking notice of him in that way.
Suddenly Tony got no surprise visits in the shower, no kinky time during training and Steve even refused the simplest gestures.
And Tony had tried; oh boy had he tried. Flirting, suggestive clothing, suggestive talking and he even tried to make his movements more sexual! But nothing had worked, and after about a week of trying to get Steve back into bed, he had given up.
Tony Stark did not beg for sex. And Steve had probably grown tired of him after all. Maybe he had realised he was not gay at all, or he had already found himself a woman, he was gone from time to time after all.
But now it all made sense. Well as much as it could.
Steve had not been himself, it had been a skrull, and Tony could not help but find it slightly amusing to imagine the confusion in the alien as Tony had practically thrown himself at him one of the days.
The pain shot through his body once again, if he didn't get some help soon he would die.
Thoughts now back to the more serious aspects of the situation.
What about Steve, the real one?
He could be anywhere, in some prison held captive, or…
Tony dismissed the depressing thought; of all people who deserved to die it was not Captain America.
Tony sighed slightly, stopping mid sigh as the pain shot through his body.
This was bad, and as Tony lay there, he tried to calm himself with the thought of Steve smashing the door, back to save him.
