Tales from the Avengers
Chapter 2: Captain Iron Man
"Tony, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." Captain America said with just a touch of unease. He was standing on the roof of Stark Tower™ fully adorned in the Mark VI Iron Man Armor™. Tony was behind and to Cap's right, Hawkeye to the left and Black Widow and Pepper watched from a distance. Thor and Hulk were off on separate missions. "If I'm not mistaken, you asked me if you could do this, and I graciously obliged." Well that was somewhat true. Cap did ask Tony if he could try the suit, but the billionaire was initially less willing to grant Steve the privilege.
"I think he'll do just fine." Hawkeye teased. "Hawkeye!" said Widow curtly. "What? You know I'm teasing." Hawkeye countered. "Steve could hurt himself and others by doing this." Widow replied in a dead serious tone. This wiped the smirk off the sharpshooters face. "Yeah Tony, are you sure this is safe?" Pepper questioned. "Seriously, I'm on the Cap's side now." Hawkeye added.
"Okay, can everyone please stop? You are not helping." Cap insisted. "Relax," Tony said "nothing bad will happen. If Cap thinks he can't maintain control, all he has to do is tell JARVIS and he'll fly back here." He explained. Cap took one look at everyone on the roof and turned back toward the edge of the building.
"So, just say the word and JARVIS takes over?" Cap checked. "You have my word as a fellow Avenger." Tony assured. Cap was glad that the mask on the suit was closed because he grimaced in the helmet.
Cap took one last deep breath… jumped off the building… and fell straight down. Tony activated his headset. "Cap, ya there?" he asked. "Steve, come in!" Tony yelled, sounding genuinely concerned. No response. Everyone had a mixture of shock, horror, and seriousness in their expressions.
"Why does everyone look so glum?"Cap teased. Everyone on Tony's roof looked up and saw Captain… er… Iron Man, flying loose circles around Tony's building. Everyone looked relieved, especially Tony. Well everyone except Widow, who looked about ready to kill Steve if he was on the ground.
"This is fun! Is this how you feel every time you fly?" Cap asked in excitement. "Yeah." Tony answered, a wide grin spreading across his face. "Amazing isn't it?" Hawkeye just stood there, head craned up and mouth slightly agape. "I'll… be… damned." he said in astonishment.
"Tony, you think we should tell him to come down?" Pepper asked. Tony looked up at Captain Iron Man and back at his girlfriend. "Nah, let's let the Captain have his fun." Everyone agreed and went inside to have shawarma.
One Hour Later…
"Okay, I think that's enough." Steve decided. But, there was a problem. "Uh JARVIS, how do I land?" No response. "JARVIS?" Steve asked. "Tony?" Still no response. "Anyone?"
THE END
A/N:This isn't a disclaimer but I'd like to keep doing this. Captain America + Iron Man FTW! Seriously I thought this would be hilarious idea. Not quite as funny as the previous one but close. I wrote this chapter alone but my sister proof read it so big thanks once again.
