Steve Rogers and the rest of the Avengers hadn't seen Tony Stark in a while. But one Monday morning he discovered a note by the door. He picked it up and it read:

Dear Team,

I thought about it and I've decided to quit the avengers. I have loved fighting with you guys but I've realized you are all better people, better heroes than I'll ever be. So why should I keep pretending I'm a hero? I'm not. Don't bother with contacting me. I'm fine, off the drink, ok? Good luck guys,

Tony S.

P.S I never really learnt to play well with others.

The words stung. "Stop pretending you are a hero," Steve knew he said that to Tony before. When he said that, he didn't mean it. He just had wanted to hit the billionaire where it hurt. He had learnt when Tony almost died for the mission that he wasn't so bad after all. He learnt that maybe the Iron Man did have a heart after all. But the note still made no sense; it wasn't like the Billionaire to get offended easily. It was only a comment and Tony seemed fine afterwards. It made no logical sense for him to quit over that. Perhaps Steve didn't know him that well as he thought.

When he showed Nick Fury the letter, there really was fury.

"Get Stark back here now," he demanded.

Taken aback by the harshness in his voice, he stuttered out his response, "B-but To- Mr. Stark said in his note that," He was interrupted by Nick again.

"I don't care what it says; get Stark back, that's an order."

Steve sighed and headed off to find Tony, as he made his way he muttered in an annoyed voice, "Yes, Sir."

He arrived at Tony's house fairly quickly and immediately knew someone was wrong. There was nothing to be heard, utter silence. He headed through the house, noticing no sign of life anywhere. He went to Tony's workplace, to see blood on the floor, discarded metal and scuff marks on the ground. He looked and spotted his suit still here. Ok, now Steve knew for sure something was up.

He hadn't quit. He'd been taken.
