Maschera di Ferro

Mid-AU

Tony Stark was never one of surprises. Yet Rhodes could exactly tell you when he saw his best friend died in front of him.

He could remember Tony's sullen and pale face as he slowly panted for air. He could remember seeing his best friend being choked and suffocated to death before a bullet shot him through the chest, where his arc reactor laid just beneath it. He could remember the Captain's face so dark and shocked when he saw the aftermath of the war he started. Rhodes took almost all his courage just not to sneer in the face of the Captain. He remembered Steve snarling at Tony, saying, "Was it worth it?!" before Tony's death and he knew just what Tony would exactly say, breathing out his last words,

"It never was worth it, Cap. No one is the victor of this war," And Rhodey knew that Tony made the sacrifice play again, just to avoid the war, and this time, his sacrifice play completed clearly. Rhodey could see in the corner of his eye that Natasha was stunned and shocked, screaming out Tony's name as tears silently dropped down her eyes. That was the first time they ever saw her show emotion ever;

Peter, even though he was new in the group, was crying out loudly while quickly running towards where Tony's body fell, blood gushing out so much out of his body, his bruises and scars becoming more visible. Rhodes knew that Peter had some kind of connection and relationship with Tony that showed obviously as Rhodes came to acknowledged that Peter is like a son to Tony, and vise versa. Peter quickly took out his mask and hugged Tony's body as like he would never let it go.

Steve stood silently, looking horrified and even though he kept an impassive face outside, many would clearly see that he was hiding his sadness, he was Tony's 'almost lover' after all. He was clinging to Bucky tightly, as though he would fall if let go. Bucky, on the other hand, maintained a tensed yet stiff face, face showing nothing of emotion, yet behind those eyes, Natasha could see a panicked look on his face while he muttered in Russian.

Pepper almost collapsed when she heard what happened, crying uncontrollably, her eyes turning swollen and red; Bruce surprisingly appeared when he heard the news of Tony's death, having a little green tantrum and he was obviously angry and unsettled, his anger mainly directed towards the Captain and his comrades.

Thor appeared also, looking obviously upset and distressed, booming about how his shield-brothers fought to death, yet he immediately turned serious, looking mournful, explaining that Tony's death would be remembered to everyone. Harley, sobbing loudly visited them and hit the Captain and Wanda with an electric shock device that Tony has given him. Captain looked extremely surprised while Wanda was furious, almost hitting the boy had not Vision stopped her with his glare, his eyes shone with forlorn and sadness, cradling the young Harley in his arms;

Rhodes, went back from his day dreaming, stood beside Natasha and Pepper, who both nodded at him with a look. His eyes narrowed into a glare before sighing out,

"We should get this over with,"

However, before all of them could even settle in peace, discussing things that mattered and needed to be discussed properly, a flash of bright light covered all of them, blinding them temporarily, before they vanished from the area.

Meanwhile, Loki sat in his dirty cell, looking bored and tired. He was humming quietly, placing his handcuffed hands in the wooden table inside his cell when he noticed a small white light in the corner of his eye. He turned his head and looked suspiciously towards the small white light that is seeming to lure him into his death trap. He rolled his eyes and smirked, as if one thing like this could ever trick him. Nothing could trick him, he is the God of Mischief after all.

Yet, he was curious of the light could ever do to him. Could this free him from this rotten cell or trap him forever? He scowled when he thought about him again. But this light could bring him the revenge he was hoping for, revenge towards the Other and to him. He don't care about foolish things already and he wouldn't even care if Thor begged for him to come back;

His eyes gleamed with mirth, he heard about the Mechanic's death, surely, it was so sad that happened to him, he was the only mortal that made Loki curious about someone ever and he was the only one that interested him after all. He shook those thoughts away and he narrowed his sharp eyes before touching the white light. This light would never hurt him anyway, just one touch, and he'll see if anything will happen to him.

He became startled and surprised, the small light became brighter and bigger before it blinded him temporarily and engulfed him, disappearing and bringing Loki with it. The guards outside the cell immediately fainted when they caught a whisk of the light, engulfing them into darkness. Other guards immediately ran towards the cell and what they saw made them panicked and surprised.

Loki disappeared.

"What the hell?" Rhodes glared into thin air when a wave of dizziness suddenly wasged over him. Peter appeared next to him in a bright flash of light, looking surprised and nervous, waves of anxiousness and curiosity clearly covered the young lad.

"Uh, Rhodey?" Peter asked quietly while searching the room for any potential danger or traps that might have been laid throughout the room. Rhodes turned to him and he could see Peter wearing nothing but a plain red shirt, black jeans, and shoes that were obviously given to him by Tony. Tony, Tony, Tony. Rhodes shook those thoughts away before it become a fully overgrown anxiety attack.

Soon, shadows of people started appearing and a cacophony of noise was quickly starting to hurt his ears. Natasha looked surprised and tensed, and she stiffened quietly when she saw Bruce standing beside her; Natasha glared quickly when she saw Wanda and them appearing too.

"What the?"

"Where the fuck are we?!"

"Why are we even here with them?!" Clint shouted as he sneered, looking ready to attack them but one single deathly look from Natasha caused him to settle for a glare and a scowl instead, looking away as he huffed. Another flash appeared and Clint immediately took off, attacking the person when he stopped suddenly, looking paralyzed and stunned, screaming out profanities— Thor on the other hand, looked surprised and aghast, seeing his very own brother in front of him was very surprising, since after all, Loki was caged into a cell, he couldn't be the one who transported them here, right?

Loki looked startled himself before settling to a blank face, rolling his eyes when he saw his brother staring at him shocked. He smirked, "Looking surprised, Thor? I wonder why," Loki hummed mockingly while Clint glared at him, wanting to attack him but he couldn't. Suddenly, a golden barrier appeared and trapped Loki from the others.

When Steve saw Loki, he immediately sprang up into action, looking for his shield when he realized something. Everyone of them looked like normal civilians, and the others started to notice it too. Their weapons vanished and they looked like harmless civilians. Wanda stiffened when she saw that her powers weren't working and they could see that Vision couldn't use his powers also.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Starting a fight, aren't we? I thought you settled for peace, hmmm." A woman in mid-20's suddenly appeared, she clearly had the air of authority around her and she looked like one of the Enchantresses of Asgard. Simultaneously, almost all of them tensed into a fighting position before she smiled. The woman was dressed in golden robes and she looked powerful enough that they might cower in fear had she not smiled before them.

"Who are you?" Wilson spat in curiosity and suspicion. The woman hummed in appreciation in return and replied,

"I am Almira, the Enchantress of Ember. I am one of those who sent all of you here, in a special place called Limbo, if you may ask, I brought all of you here to at least prevent or avoid the war upcoming by showing you these special films that were kept hidden by us. These films will be shown to you to at least unite all of you together and show mercy towards the one you called friend once, Anthony Edward Stark," As she finished, a stunned silence greeted her but it slowly turned into confusion and utter surprise.

"Why are we even watching these?! Tony's dead! And he killed my wife!" Clint muttered ominously while Pepper glared hardly at him and Rhodey was taking almost all of his strength and courage just not to pack a punch towards him.

"He didn't kill your wife! And what makes you think that your wife's dead already, Barton?" Bruce replied, a tint of green covering up his eyes. A lot looked surprised when he spoke up, defending his friend and science-bro.

"What are you talking about? I saw my wife dead right in front of my own eyes, Banner!"

"Bruce is correct, Barton. Just because you saw the mangled body of Laura, you expected that that was her? No one could identify a mangled and destroyed body easily, Clint," Pepper defended Bruce, speaking up coldly and Clint looked shocked before the sound of a small clap echoed throughout the room. Maria Hill, Helen, Fury, Coulson, Laura, Darcy, Jane—

"Laura!" Clint gasped out in surprise, before he felt himself being able to move again and ran towards her. She tearfully looked at him in happiness and hugged him tightly while he pecked her lips quickly, before dragging her towards the bunch of seats that suddenly appeared over them.

"Lady Jane!" Thor spoke in surprise and excitement, before reaching out towards her, hugging her tightly as the young woman blushed, seeing everyone stare at them. Meanwhile, Darcy rolled her eyes and huffed out angrily, yet her eyes immediately sparkled when she saw the superheroes crowding her, looking amazed and excited.

Pietro appeared. Wanda tensed and stiffened, glaring at the woman before looking horrified. Pietro was here, Pietro, her dead brother, her twin brother.

"Pietro," Wanda stuttered and Pietro turned to look at her, he looked startled himself yet he settled for a small smile as tears dropped from Wanda's eyes, she immediately ran and hugged her brother tightly, as he mumbled comforting words to her. Everyone stared at Almira, who smiled as she explained what happened,

"Pietro, as you've known indeed died, but the Lords from above gave him a second chance. He was given a second chance as to simply unite everyone again and to try prevent the war coming, from the monster," Almira told them while Wanda looked at her tearfully, uttering a silent Thank you that was only heard by her. She clapped her hands again and food immediately covered almost half the room. The lights went out and a humongous screen appeared.

"Now that's everything done, I see that all of you are ready to watch now, am I right?" A few private looks were shared throughout all of them, yet it also divided them into two, the supposedly Team Cap and now the Team Iron Man. It split them into two and glares were directed throughout each other and Steve looked nervous before everyone nodded. Loki sat far away from them, looking bored yet something gleamed in his eye. Maybe this can amuse me, after all, Stark was once an interesting and amusing man.

"Wouldn't this invade the privacy of Stark's?" Maria Hill inquired, her eyes narrowing in suspicion and realization that what might show them might be incredibly humorous or painful.

"Yes, it would. But this was what he specifically told me. And nothing would change anyhow," Almira stated.

"Hmm." Pepper wondered in apprehension. She immediately scowled, what if this shows the start of Iron Man? She wouldn't dare, per say, because she still didn't trust what the others could do when they finally see his weakness and they might mock him for a failure,"

"I think it's better if we started now, don't we?" Loki snarked and Peter glared at him, along with Rhodes. He could very well remember Tony saying that it was Loki who pushed him from the tower. He would never forget that ever.

"I agree with Loki, for once." Natasha mumbled, crossing her arms over her shoulders while she straightened up, taking a seat beside Bruce, who looked nervous and pinched his nose nervously.

"Very well." Almira snapped her fingers before vanishing. She smiled mysteriously and flutter of butterflies covered her trace.

"I just hope you know what you are doing might be dangerous at the same time, but I trust you enough to settle this deal with you alongside Ezekiel, Tony. I just hope that what you're thinking would bring unity and peace again."

"So, Iron Man, huh?" Clint stated silently, staring right into the cover of the dvd case. After the appearance of Almira, some started talking before the film started. He and Natasha immediately reconcile, sharing a look, yet they know, it wouldn't be easy to forgive each other easily. With Natasha for lying to him and didn't say that Laura was still alive and with Clint for not knowing the wrong side of the war.

Are we still friends?

Depends on how hard you hit me.

Steve coughed, catching their attention while he tensed as Bucky cling to his shoulder. "I guess we should start this now, we would never escape this room without finishing these films, anyways."

Bruce rubbed his eyes as he wiped his glasses with a small towel, "I agree with Steve for once. I just hope that this would not show what I am thinking," Bruce replied and Pepper nodded her head slowly in agreement, slowly coming to a realization of what those films could show them. Rhodes, also went silent as he snorted. Peter looked nervous as usual while the others looked impassive. Scott rubbed his chin in curiosity while Loki looked interested for once. The smirk in his face obviously showing his amusement and interest.

"Okay! Let's get this shit done once and for all!"

1891, 221B Baker Street.

Meanwhile, in another reality, a man slowly woke up from darkness, rubbing his sore eyes. Looking warily around before speaking up a name,

"Watson?"

Author's Note and DISCLAIMER:

There you go! Sigh, I know I'm a hopeless author. I apologize in advance for any mistakes I might have made and will soon (maybe) make. I was inspired to write this story by other 'Avengers-watch-the-movies fic' and maybe from my addiction to Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr, just like my obsession with Dylan O'Brien. And! There you go, a secret surprise maybe *wiggles eyebrows*. Who might this 'Watson' might be? Hmm. I'm giving a hint: 'Jude Law' and 'I see two men. Two men. Brothers! Not in blood, but in bond.' I'm sure hardcore fans would get that reference. Hehe. I also in advance would like to say that in this series (hopefully), only Iron Man films, the Avengers film, and maybe Age of Ultron would be viewed by the Avengers.

However, maybe, if this story continues to get up, I might be adding some spices there and now. But, don't get your hopes up too high because I'm, admittedly, not one who does stories so much. I get too much authors-block now and then and it's hard for me to keep up with stories because I'm not well with story line-ups. However, if someone can give me the official script or like completed of a film they want to be viewed by the Avengers, send the link to me PM and I might try to make it within a story.

Again, I fully apologize for the grammar mistakes I might and will make and the spellings, oh my god. I need a beta reader who is always active and can keep up with my laziness, haha. Just one hint, I might be doing an Avengers watch Teen Wolf if someone can give me the official script, yada yada, because I am a certified fan of Dylan and Teen Wolf and especially Stydia.

Warning, though, this might be a polyamory between Bucky-Steve-Tony-Loki because I ship them so hard! Especially with Tony, so if you don't want it, don't read it. Simple as that. And I also apologize if I start another story without even finishing one, sigh. ? ﾟ

One again, thank you in advance for reading this story. I accept any criticism as long as it won't take too far. I will try to fix up some of my mistakes and make this a better story. I'm sorry if this story is too cliché, I don't exactly have a way with words. I also deeply apologize if this story is too much fast paced; Thank You! ~

Love, Shadow Sylpheria
