Tony nearly jumped as Steve thrusted a hand over his shoulder. He was getting a lot jumpy these days. Afraid to see his discolored veins,afraid of telling pepper about the paladium poisoning, afraid for the end of his privacy in the tower, afraid of what the team would think of him when he dies.
"stark! Stark!"
God , Steve, leave me in peace!
Tony turned towards him.
"yeah, alive n breathing, no need to worry."
He flinched at the word alive. Not so much, that is.
"i think you should stop drinking that much." Steve's mood is unpredictable.
"goodness! We are trapped in a cave , i guess we wont be getting any beer..."
The cave.
Yeah, cold blasts of wind even in a cave. Simple mission gone wrong. Thanks to mr. Disappearing target man, the hulk had smashed the dam, resulting in total waterfall. When they came to, all the avengers were tied in a cave.
Cave!
God, so triggering.
Natasha couldn't blame tony for getting panic attacks here. And the problem was tony knew it.
She was currently trying to bite barton' s bindings .
Bruce was experiencing a hulk-aftershock, and was asleep.
Steve was haranguing tony about whatnots. Poor rascal of a captain, that is. Tony struggled to hide the reactor .no one, except Natasha knew about the reactor .it thumped against his chest lightly. Tony shivered, no suit to keep him warm.
They had cut open the suit.
No the time the dam broke, it was unfunctionable. Tony was getting out of it.
And that's why he was the only one not dried off and was shivering.
"stark! Any plan to get out?" yeah, leave it to Barton to kick a man when he is down.
"thinking." tony shot back. Like a tied man with a hole in his sternum and shrapnel in chest could construct a suit with no material while tied up.
Somebody opened the door that tony had missed. Light slipped through.
"pleased to meet you, avengers.."
Tony squinted his eyes . What the hell people think that the avengers can be avenger-napped.
It was...
A human?
Tony laughed at the taught, recieving glares. He closed his mouth.
This person was as tall as a mountain,heavily bearded. His voice had an indian touche. No glasses or anything. This person had an malicious aura.
"and Mr. Stark..." he hissed at tony's name." you, you are the cheif guest here."
Tony turns to his team who gives back the same confused look that tony gives them.
'this is trouble.'
tony began struggling against his binds.
and then the man dissapeared in a wist of green smoke.
and then he came back.
everyone could regognize him now.
it was loki.
