Chapter .1.
Steve sighs he was nearly home after 2 years of being in Wakanda with Bucky, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Rhodey, Wanda, Vision, Sam and Scott. And he hadn't heard from Tony in all that time. Tony and he had been dating when all the fighting had been going down. It had hurt to have Tony turn on him. But if Steve was honest he did that himself. He lied to Tony about his parents, didn't listen fully to Tony and didn't trust him enough.
He had also taken Tony's Best Friend Rhodey from him. Rhodey had wanted out because he was angry with Tony. Now Rhodey could walk and he was happy but also sad he left Tony alone and isolated. Which he had promised not to do.
Clint couldn't wait to see his family he hadn't been able to contact them in 2 years and he knew Laura was going to be pissed with him. But it wasn't his fault he was just helping out Steve. And Tony was the one to blame. But Clint now didn't think Tony was totally to blame. Maybe he should have actually talked to Tony instead of immediately siding with Steve. After Tony had spent all that time of making his bow and arrows so cool. He realised he never thanked the genius.
Natasha was biting her lip not knowing what they were going to find when they got to the compound. She had betrayed Tony when she knew that Tony knew the Accords weren't perfect. She had left him and hadn't looked back. After all the favours Tony had done her. She didn't know what he would say to her now. And she had Laura's reaction to deal with too. She had a bad feeling in her gut like she KNEW something had happened. Natasha was holding Rhodes hand because they had been seeing each other for 6 months now. Her other hand was on Bruce.
Bruce was nervously twitching besides Natasha. He had taken off after Ultron and only found out Steve's side of the Accords and went with them instead of talking to Tony about Ross. But Bruce knew that Tony knew how bad Ross was so why had Tony been agreeing with Ross? There was something else to the story. Natasha had taken his hand and he calmed down. She had become one of his best friends.
Vision was worried about his creator even though Tony had told him to go. Vision knew he had hurt Tony by leaving because Tony thought everyone in his life left him. But Tony had told him to follow his heart. His Wanda was light in his life. He had made her see that Tony Stark wasn't to blame for her parents death. Vision and Wanda both wondered what Tony's reaction would be.
Sam, and Scott didn't know Tony very well and just wanted to be home. But they were wondering want would await them when they arrived.
Bucky didn't know what to expect when he arrives. All he knew he had been pardoned as long as he got treatment for the Winter Soldiers programming. He didn't know what Stark would do to him. But Bucky thought it would be justified after all Bucky did kill his parents and let Steve run off with him. Bucky know knew Tony and Steve had been seeing each other before everything went south. Bucky had yelled at Steve for throwing his love away for him. But Steve had told Bucky all about Tony and Bucky would look forward to getting to know the man if Tony didn't kill him.
T'Challa and Shuri where also on the plane. They were to take the Avengers to the compound. They didn't know what had been going on in Mr Stark's life he had about become a ghost.
Also on the plane was Nick Fury, Phil Coulson and his team. They hadn't been in contact with Stark either. But they were dreading the conversation that was coming.
"We are coming in to land", the pilot says
The nervous energy in the plane was nearly suffocating. As they land on the ground.
"Welcome to the New Avengers Compound", the pilot says
They get up and grab there things and start to go to the front of the plane. They knew they were seconds away from seeing Tony. The door opens and they saw four figures on the tarmac. But none of them were Tony. But Coulson's team recognise Daisy standing in the group. And the compound was big. Much bigger than before. They could see why the pilot said the 'New Compound'.
"Welcome back. I am Captain Carol Danvers or Captain Marvel. I lead the Avengers. This is part of my group Stephen Strange or Doctor Strange, Daisy Johnson who is Quake and Hope van Dyne who is Wasp", Carol says
"Hope?" Scott asks
"Hello Scott welcome home", Hope says
"Where is Tony? He leads the Avengers", Steve states
A look passed between the four.
"We need to debrief you before you see Tony. Then there is a party going to happen", Carol says
"What about Tones?" Rhodey asks anxiety
"You will find out", Stephen says
"Follow us", Carol says leading them inside
"What party?" Wanda asks
"The other Avengers and the juveniles wanted to celebrate your return. They are hoping to get Tony to join. With the excuse your back", Daisy replies
"Tony always liked parties so why wouldn't he go?" Natasha asks
"Tony doesn't do parties anymore. He is barely social. We don't blame him as he has a good reason", Stephen says with a sigh
"Why is that?" Steve asks worriedly
But Carol, Stephan, Daisy and Hope were saved from having to answer by a familiar British accent.
"Welcome back sirs, ma'ams", a voice says
"JARVIS?" Bruce asks shocked
"Indeed", JARVIS says
"How?" Vision asks
"Sir rebooted me from a backup. I have been fully operational for 18 months", JARVIS replies
"This is one of the conference rooms. Where we will debrief you", Carol says
They all take seats around the table. They noticed there was a lot of seats. Carol goes to the head of the table with Hope, Stephen and Daisy taking there seats besides her.
"Ok now debrief us. We haven't heard anything about Stark", Fury says
"And the Accords", Clint says
"This new compound", Bruce says
"And about Bucky. But I need to know about Tony", Steve begs
Carol looks at all of them. She and the others hoped they had want it took to help Tony. After all Tony was in a very delicate condition. Depressed and disabled would do that to you.
"Ok first the Accords. They have been amended to allow the superhero community police themselves but they have four non-superhero members to make it fair and they rotate around the UN nations. Tony set this up and fought the legal battle and won for this to be so. Also Former Secretary Ross is not allowed on that panel", Carol says
"Former Secretary?" Bruce asks
"Lets just say someone dug up all the dirt on Ross and presented it to the UN. Former Secretary Ross is facing charges but is out on bail. But someone from the superhero community are always watching him", Hope says
"Tony dug up the facts didn't he?" Steve says proudly
"Yes he did", Stephen confirms
"On to the compound it had grown bigger because there are different departments of the facility now. The Avengers Division that is lead by me. The Science Division who is lead by Jane Foster and Tony Stark with Erik Selvig's and Dr Pym's help. The PR Division which is lead by Laura Barton with Darcy Lewis's help. The Legal Division which is lead by Maggie Lang and with help from Matt Murdock. The Medical Division which is lead by Helen Cho with help from Jennifer Banner and May Parker. The Security Division which is lead by Happy Hogan. The Liaison is lead by Sharon Carter. The IT Division which is lead by Daisy Johnson. The Search and Rescue Division which is lead by Demetria Dew. The Magical Division which is lead by Stephen Strange. The Young Avengers Division which is lead by Spider-Man with help from Iron Lad, Eagle Eye and Hawkeye. The Communication Division which is lead by Emma Spice. The Extraction & Retrieval Division which is lead by Joshùa Cable. The Research & Development Division which is lead by Tony and Stella Walters. The Spies Division which is lead by Lauren Turrent. The Human Resources Division is lead by Jay Davis, The Transport Division is lead by Steven James. And lastly the Weapon and Technology Division which is lead by Tony. We also have a gym and living quarters as well here", Carol says, "This compound was all designed by Tony Stark"
"We might need a map", Clint jokes
"Well JARVIS is connected to everything if you get lost", Daisy says
"So Jane Foster, Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis are here?" Coulson asks
"Yes. And they are so looking forward to seeing you all again", Daisy says with a smirk
"My cousin is here?" Bruce asks
"Yes and she has a bone to pick with you", Hope replies
"Laura is here?" Clint asks
"Yes she is has been for a while", Carol confirms
"What about the kids?" Clint asks
"They are here too", Stephen says
"Maggie and Cassie are here then?" Scott asks
"They are", Carol confirms again
"Where are they here?" Fury asks
"They were targeted by Ross. Luckily Tony saved them", Carol informs them
"We owe Tony a lot", Clint says
"More than you know", Hope says
"What is happening to me?" Bucky asks quietly
"You HAVE been given a pardon with the condition you allow Tony to help get rid of the Winter Programming with his BARF technology and Stephan will also help. Tony also has gotten you POW status as the longest prisoner of war known", Carol informs him
"Tony is helping him?" Steve asks shocked
"Of course. He just needed time to think it through. Now he has he is wiling to help. If you don't accept this Sergeant Barnes will be arrested", Stephen says
"Of course I will accept his help. Will he be ok with this?" Bucky asks
"He wouldn't have offered if he wasn't going to help", Carol says, "Now we have a total of 80 members of the Avengers and Junior Avengers Team. As you will realise not all of us go out at one time"
"Did they get cleared?" Fury asks suspiciously
"Yes they have by Tony, Happy, Stephan and myself", Carol replies
"What is going on with Tony?" Rhodey asks, "Why isn't he here in this briefing?"
Carol sighs, "This is where we have some difficulty. 11 months ago an event took place at his tower with him inside it. JARVIS roll the outside footage"
They see the footage of Stark Tower. And they then see the upper floors explored. They all gasp.
"Tony was in that?" Steve asks pale
"Yes. It was a deliberate attack. Aimed to take out not just Tony but those who until the day before had been moved to the compound", Carol replies
"Tony's alright though?" Rhodey asks concerned
"Please say he is alight", Steve begs
"Is he ok? What were his injuries?", Bruce asks
"Please say he is not dead", Natasha says panicked
"He has to be alright", Clint says
All of them were panicking about there friend and in Steve's case lover.
"He is far from alright. He was severely injured. The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man got there quickly but it did take time to pull Tony from the rubble of the upper floors", Stephen says
"What is wrong with him?" T'Challa asks
"Well he was in a coma for 3 months and has significant…scarring and damage. That will best he show you. JARVIS is Tony ready for anyone to come to his lab?" Carol asks
"He is. He wants Captain Rogers. He is insisting just him", JARVIS says
"You heard JARVIS Captain he will take you to Tony. Just try and be supportive. He is depressed enough", Carol says
"Ok. How will I find him?" Steve asks without any hesitation
But he was nervous.
"JARVIS will take you to his lab. I will take the others to there floor to their rooms", Carol says
Steve goes to the elevator which automatically starts to go down. Steve was nervous what would he find? What was wrong with Tony? He knew it was bad. He could sense it. And after seeing that footage of the Tower being blown up he knew Tony would not get out of that unscathed. But why would Tony just want him after he had broken Tony's heart by leaving? The door dings.
"You have arrived Captain. Sir is waiting for you", JARVIS says
Steve hesitantly follows the corridor and turns to the open lab doors. He sees a man sitting down with his back to him. The hair was Tony. Steve takes a step closer.
"Tony?" Steve asks
Tony turns around and Steve realises Tony was in a wheelchair. Steve looked into Tony's tortured and sad and scared eyes and Steve saw the damage as tears fall down his scared face. Steve saw that to his horror that Tony was missing something important. Which was his legs. As Steve looked at Tony he knew why Tony was so upset. In long strides Steve walks up to Tony and falls to his knees and pulls Tony into a hug. Steve feels Tony grip his shirt and felt his tears as Tony buried his face in Steve's chest and begins sobbing. Steve wished he would be able to take the last 2 years back and maybe this wouldn't have happened. And Steve knew in seconds he would do what he could do to protect Tony from everyone even his own team and Tony's self if need be. For Tony was a broken man in need of protecting. But he knew his team would also protect Tony they would all help him and avenge him. It was what they needed to do…
