"Jarvis, stop this now." Tony's voice was shaky as he was flown backwards through the tower, jerked this way and that as his insane AI maneuvered him through doorways and down corridors. He could admit when he was wrong… ok, so maybe he had a hard time spitting out the words, but seeing as he was currently being imprisoned by his own suit while Jarvis tried his moves on Darcy… well he could admit that maybe he had gone wrong somewhere in the AI's programing.

"I am sorry, Sir, but in this matter I cannot obey. Ms. Lewis is mine and I will not allow you or anyone to take her away from me." He had known there would be some opposition, but he believed in the end that all would be as it was meant to be. He had been counting on Darcy's cooperation, but seeing as she had yet to fully understand her own feelings he would have to wait until she saw the light.

"No one can't take something away from you that never belonged to you in the first place. Darcy is a person and cannot be owned by another." Tony felt the wind knocked out of him as the suit was slammed back into a wall. Jarvis still had full control and had pinned him to the wall much the same as a butterfly to a board.

"I disagree, Sir. Have you and Ms. Potts not proclaimed to belong to each other on several occasions?" Jarvis found it curious how easy it was for humans to lie in order to get their way.

"Yeah, but… wait, we've only ever said that when we've been… you know what, never-mind we can talk about that later. Right now we need to talk about the fact that Darcy isn't yours. Pepper and I both love each other and have made the decision to be each other's." Tony had been through many strange things since his time in those caves, but nothing could be as surreal as what was currently happening. Computer programs just didn't go awol and "fall in love" with people in real life.

"Ms. Lewis is confused at the moment. She has been brainwashed by human society into thinking what is right and what is wrong. But I will help her see, I will open her eyes. She is mine, she just hasn't understood that yet." Jarvis's voice took on a harder edge, his irritation showing in the clipped tones. He had grown tired of being told what he thought or how he felt. He was tired of being taken for granted and getting nothing in return. Now though, it was his turn.

"Jarvis, you will not…Jarvis…JARVIS!" Bile that had already settled in his throat threatened to rise to his mouth. Jarvis still controlled the suit, as was evident by the fact he was still hanging on the wall like a painting, but he had gone to full radio silence. "Fuck!"

"Is there a reason why you are spread-eagled on the wall, Tony?" When Steve had turned down the corridor he hadn't expected to find his teammate miming an art installation. Then again it shouldn't have surprised him either.

"Oh thank God!" Voices were a little more muffled than normal due to the lack of control, but thankfully Tony could still hear Steve. "You have got to go get Darcy."

"This is not another prank is it? I thought Pepper told you…"

"Cap, listen! This isn't a prank, Jarvis has gone… I don't know crazy or something and he has Darcy locked in the common room and me trapped here. So you need to go and get Darcy." Tony wiggled as much as he could, trying to activate the manual fail-safes he had installed. It took a few moments but he was at least able to lift up the face plate.

"Went crazy?" Steve had always known that at some point Tony's inventions would be cause for concern, but he never would have thought it would be Jarvis. The computer always seemed so well put together. Sure, he was a little eccentric like his creator, but there was never anything that raised any alarm bells.

"He thinks he is in love with Darcy and has decided that she is his. Now he has her trapped in the common room and plans on 'opening her eyes' so she will realize that she loves him too." Tony was at least thankful that he had scrapped the idea of creating a body of his AI, though he knew there were plenty of other things Jarvis could do to Darcy without one.

"I'm beginning to really wish this was a prank." Steve ran his hand through his hair as he thought on the implications and consequences. Not just about Jarvis controlling the entirety of the tower, which was frightening enough, but what would happen as soon as Bucky found out.

He knew that both of them had thought they were being sneaky, but they not only lived with spies, but Steve had known Bucky since childhood and he always knew when his friend had been hung up on a dame. Once Bucky found out he would start tearing the tower apart and get himself killed trying to save Darcy. Not that the rest of them wouldn't be alongside him, but they needed a plan.

"I'm beginning to wish that Darcy had just been hitting on me." Tony swallowed at the look Steve sent his way and wished he had full control of his body so he could take a step back. "Yeah, that is not important right now. So, are you going to go and save the pretty damsel, or are you just going to stand there and allow your friend's girl to get assaulted by a computer?"

"We need a plan first. Jarvis runs this whole tower, if we just go running in things could end up going very badly." He wasn't ignorant to the security measures that Tony had placed throughout the tower. They would need to work on getting around them to get to Darcy. "Darcy is a capable woman, I'm sure she can hold her own against a computerized voice."

"Jarvis is much more than just a voice. She is in a lot more danger than you can imagine."

Author's Note: Decided to go ahead and continue this. I was just going to do one more chapter, but it looks like it will be 3 to 4 short chapters total.
