A/N: This is the fourth chapter of seven, it may have seemed like I forgot about it but I didn't, without further ado chapter 4:
Civil War
Chapter 4: Broken
"You know I don't like this any more than you but..." Tony Stark was talking to his new superior officer Director Maria Hill.
"I'm not asking you to fall in love with me. Hell I'm not even asking you to like me," Maria interrupted Iron Man, "But you have to respect me, and respect the fact that I have power over you now."
"Actually that's not true," Tony said with a satisfied smile, "As of 5 hours ago, I'm the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and you are my deputy director. Well I just need confirmation which should be coming in in about 30 minutes. But not a whole lot is going to change, well the only thing that is going to change is the name on the door of the office."
"Director Stark," Agent Quartermain came running in, "This message came in for you. It says that only you can read it. We scanned for any kind of disruption and found none. So here it is."
The message clearly read: Come to the warehouse on fifth and Yancy. Come alone.
"Sir?" A junior agent asked.
"Hold all of calls and reschedule the meetings for the next three hours," Tony said, his face emotionless, "I'm going to be out."
"Yes, sir."
"Steve," Tony stark stood in the warehouse that the Avengers had used for keeping prisoners before transport, "Nice to see you again."
"Tony," Captain America was sitting on a crate full of materials for Hawkeye's arrows, "Let's drop the pretenses, I think you know why I called this meeting."
"I accept your surrender," Tony spoke confidently.
"You really are that pigheaded, aren't you," Steve sneered, "You don't understand what this is going to do, do you?"
"This is what will get the people of the world to trust us!" Tony yelled, "If we sign up, they will!"
"No they won't!" Steve implored, "They don't even trust the government as it is! They're just scared and they think that us working for the government will work better! But it won't, if we sign up, what's to stop us from the government having a SUPER-POWERED ARMY!"
"There has to be a way to hold us accountable for the things we do wrong," Tony argued.
"Yes, but this is not it," Steve said, "And what are you going to do to the ones who don't want to sign up? Are you going to incarcerate them? People like Daredevil and Iron Fist?"
"We will give them the option," Tony said, "I have been wrong about a lot of things, but I know in my heart, that this is right."
"No it's not," Steve said trying to make him understand, "You've started a war, a war that will only end in death. See you on the other side Tony, unless you come to your senses."
