AN: Please review as they make me update quicker.. ;)
Steve looked around for any clues as to what had happened. As soon as he'd walked past the Computer it turned on and startled Steve. He looked at the screen, eyes wide. There was a man on the screen, his eyes were small and he had very harsh features. His dark black hair reached his shoulders. Steve couldn't say he recognised the man. Though there was another man in the image. Tony. He was tied up on a chair, his head lolled back. He looked pale and sickly. Steve felt his hands ball into fists in rage. The now smiling man was first to speak. "Why hello, Captain," he said smoothly.
Steve blinked and looked down at himself. He wasn't wearing his suit. He arched his eyebrows and stayed silent.
"I would like to make a deal. You have two weeks time work out the puzzle. Otherwise your friend here will have to die. You see that reactor in his chest? In one single movement, that will be out and he will be dead," Steve flinched at his words. "If you can work it out, he will live."
"And what exactly do I have to go on?" Steve snarled at him.
The man simply grinned.
"You have to be smart enough to work it out,"
"Well, you toke the Genius," Steve said bitterly.
"Two weeks, Captain Rogers," he said before the screen went black.
Two weeks to find Stark.
Or else he will die.
Great.
He sucked in his breath. He had no idea where to start. He could tell this was not going to be easy. Though, it never was.
He got the news back to the entire team in no time.
It would be their first mission after the Loki attack.
"Can you be sure its Tony?" Clint had asked.
"Tony is nowhere to be seen. He's been missing for days without his suit and he was there! I saw him tied up," Steve said, a dull ache rising in the pit of his chest.
"What information do we have?" Natasha inquired.
"None whatsoever."
"But it's Tony, there has to be something," she insisted.
"They don't call him a genius for nothing," Clint agreed.
"I say we shall return to the home of friend Stark to see if any clues are to be found," Thor booms while Bruce nods, trying to stay calm.
The separated to search for more clues that Steve might have missed once they returned to Starks abode. Bruce and Thor searched together and Natasha, Clint and Steve went in a different direction together. Tasha, Clint and Steve searched his workplace again. Natasha noticed something straight away.
"Hey, Steve... I thought you said his suit was still here," she murmured.
"It is," he replied, turning around.
But she was right. Steve and Clint exchanged confused looks.
The suit was now missing.
