A/N: I know I should be finishing up my other stories. But this idea just made its way into my head...
Tony Stark was dead. If he wasn't dead now, then he was definitely going to be. He and Banner were working on a new weapon. Something under the ray gun category.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Bruce asked putting a few gears into place as Tony was fiddling with some wires.
"Of course it is. It was my idea wasn't it?" Bruce just raised an eyebrow at Tony, unamused. "...Okay...our idea but mostly mine…" Bruce shook his head pushing his glasses up as they were slipping. "Anyways once we're done with this, we'll have something awesome. Something that would put those Hydra bastards on hold."
"Sir, Captain Rogers and Agent Romanoff have just returned from their mission." Jarvis informed him.
"Ah yes Jarvis I need to show them this new invention. Bring them to the lab."
"Certainly Sir." Within a few minutes the super soldier and the assassin had arrived. Not looking very amused.
"This better be important Tony. Because Jarvis had insisted we come down to the lab before we could change out of our uniforms." Steve explained.
"Oh really? And I thought you just loved to wear the star spangled suit." Tony quipped.
"As much as we'd love to stay and talk, get to the point Stark." Natasha demanded.
"Well, Tony has been working on a new device. With my help." Bruce stated.
"Yes, and it is one that will blow your minds. Banner light it up!"
"I'd have to decline on that. I mean we still don't know what it does."
"Oh come on, don't be such a grandpa. It's his job." Tony whined pointing to Steve. Who was used to Tony's antics. He did work with the man's father after all.
"Fine I'll do it myself then." he pressed a very bright red button. And no good could possibly come from pushing a red button. At first nothing happened. So he pushed it again. Still nothing. He then furiously button mashed and the ray gun had gone out of control. Spinning randomly on it's axel. It powered up. Glowing brightly.
"Hit the deck!" Steve yelled pushing Natasha out of the way. He wasn't so lucky though as the ray ended up hitting himself. As the light cleared they saw Steve's legs frozen to the ground, the ice creeping up to his waist fast.
"Seriously Tony!? A freeze ray?" Steve yelled. The Ice had already reached his abdomen. "I swear that once I get thawed out…." he let the threat hang. Before he froze completely he quickly flipped the bird at Tony. A feat that Tony himself thought was impossible for Steve to do. It was so out of character for him, that the genius was momentarily stunned. Steve crossed his arms over his chest and just kept a straight face as he was completely frozen in a block of ice.
"Shit….I just froze Captain America...hah he's a real Capsicle now…" he joked. His smile immediately slipped from his face as Natasha glared the hell out of him.
"Fix him now." Her tone left no room for arguing.
"Fine, I'll have Captain Spangles kicking in no time." He assured her.
"You better do it and fast."
"Well first of all we need someone to get Capsicle on the roof of the tower."
"I think the other guy can be of assistance."
"Bruce, please use the hulk sized elevator I had built for you. Instead of crashing through the ceiling. Capsicle may as well be considered glass at this point."
"I'll try..." Bruce had turned into the Hulk and looked at Steve and back at Tony. He yelled in Tony's face and proceeded to lift the huge chunk of ice that contained the soldier.
"Yup, I deserved that..." Tony stated, wiping the globs of Hulk spit from his face. He and Natasha had then made their way to the roof. Suddenly thunder could be heard in the distance. As a very familiar looking blonde was flying towards them. He laughed at the sight of Bruce in his tattered purple pants.
"Why it seems that the good doctor has hulked out...but why." Thor asked as he made his way onto the roof. He then faced Tony and Natasha. Tony whistled nervously. Before he could ask, something caught his eye. Something quite big was hidden haphazardly under a tarp. Curiosity got the better of him and he made his way towards it.
"Thor I wouldn't do that if I were..." Tony warned, but it fell to deaf ears as Thor pulled the tarp away.
"BY THE ALLFATHER! What happened to Steven? He looks very...unamused."
"Well thank Stark for refreezing him..." Natasha grumbled.
"Don't worry I can fix this. Just hand me a cell phone." Tony explained. "Hello? Hi Reed. It's me, Tony. It seems we have a little problem. And I was wondering if you had a solution on hand that could say unfreeze a certain someone..."
