But im glad we could bring her on to this project, since shes in high school and has a lil bit more writing experience than us. That said, we did write most of the chapters on our own, she was jus visitng for thanksgiving and gave us some guidance. Enjoy boios - ASH

Chapter 1-

Rogers hesitantly passed through the doorway leading to Stark's living quarters. He decided he'd been putting it off for far too long. After everything that happened, it was about time to visit the Avengers Facility again.

As soon as he entered, Tony shot him a glance. Steve wasn't sure if Stark's eyes were displaying a well-meaning expression, welcoming or not. Then again, what was new about that? Stark was always hard to read. But at least Steve's fears of Tony straight-out ignoring him weren't coming true.

"Well, if it isn't Captain America. What brings you here?" Tony sounded a bit sarcastic, but Steve thought that he had to be at least a bit relieved to see a familiar face. Right?

"I thought you might want some company."

"Yeah? No offense Cap, but, uh,.. you thought wrong."

"What's got you down?"

"Are you serious? What's got me down? Uh, I don't know. For starters, how about the fact that half of our population just got wiped out by a- a giant raisin man?"

Steve sighed. "I know. But Rhodes says that you haven't even been out of here since the disaster."

"Disaster? Try tragedy. Or cataclysm."

"It was 4 weeks ago, Tony."

"Are you saying it shouldn't be fresh on my mind? Are you saying the flags have had enough time flying at half-mast? That it's time to let it go?"

"No. I'm saying that you could use some fresh air. Might clear your mind."

He raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "What's it matter to you?"

"Look, Tony,... I know it's not exactly golden between us, but… Come on. We have to put that aside."

"Yeah, sure, consider it 'aside'. Now, you said you've been talking to Rhodes? What'd he tell you, that I'm being antisocial? That I'm 'brooding'?

"He said you're blaming yourself a lot."

"Well, what can I say Cap? I messed up."

"Tony. You and I both know that this wasn't your fault."

"No, you don't understand. When- When I made that suit, when I became Iron Man, I swore… I swore to save people. To protect them. And now half the world is gone, and I can't do anything to bring them back. I always had a contingency plan, for everything… Every stupid little thing that could happen... Except for this."

"How could you have known?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure there was something that could've prevented this. Think about it. Pepper and I were gonna get married. That should've been enough to make me wanna invest in my future, right? To safeguard it a little more carefully?"

"You did all you could."

"You don't know that for sure. Besides, it's not only my wedding that's been called off. Wanda was still fixing her life up, learning to trust herself again. She and Vision had a thing. It was weird, but…-Or, how about that Parker kid? You didn't really get to know him, but I did. He had such potential, Rogers. He was supposed to graduate, go to an Ivy League school,... that'll never happen now."

"I know. You're not the only one who's mourning people, Tony. We're in the same boat. And it's fine to be upset. To miss them, to want to avenge them... But to just hide away in here? The world out there, right now? Those people… They're hurting. And they need us now more than ever."

"What do you think we can do for them, Rogers?"

"I don't know. But what I do know is we can't give up on them now."
