Made some changes to this chapter! New update soon I promise!

Tony Stark did not like being summoned especially when he was trying to search for his son. But General Ross insisted he come see him in his office at the pentagon.

Another thing that rubbed him the wrong way was when Ross was late so he had to wait in his office for a while. Tony was tempted to hack through Ross' computer but he needed to focus on Jon. When the door finally opened Tony made let out an exaggerated sigh so Ross knew how irritated he was.

Ross offered him a small smile that didn't reach his eyes "Sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Stark." He said as he shook his hand. Tony smiled back "No problem it's not like I have anywhere else to be!" with a sarcastic tone.

He saw Ross' eyebrow twitch in annoyance and mentally gave himself a cheer. That's right you waste my time I'll waste yours. He smoothed his suit down and took a seat. "So General what did you want to see me about?" he asked.

Ross looked at him with an indistinguishable expression before opening his drawer and pulling out a think booklet and placed in front of Tony with an air or triumph.

Tony stifled a glare and pulled the document towards him 'Sokovia Accords' It said. Tony picked it up and flicked through it silently.

"What the hell is this?" he asked with a raised eyebrow as he continued to flip through.

Looking very smug Ross leant forward "That is the new guidelines the Avengers will have to abide by." He said. Tony looked at him with his are you stupid? Face.

"No offense Sir but do you seriously think they'll accept this? It's practically forcing us to obey a group of idiots!" he said running his hand through his hair.

Ross stared back "Those idiots need to protect civilians" he muttered as he got up and got some files "Do you know the total death toll of all the civilians because of your little Avenger battles?" Ross asked.

Tony looked down at his feet, no he didn't it made it harder to move on. Ross obviously understood his silence. "The government has been taking a lot of heat for your team's mistakes. Have any of you been at the brunt of hate?" Ross questioned.

Tony closed his eyes for a second Yes he remembered the mother that came to his MIT convention and told him about her dead son.

"Do you know what it's like to lose a son?" she whispered with tears in her eyes.

He wanted to say "yes I lost mine 17 years ago." He didn't he just took it and watched her walk away with stifling her sobs into her hand.

Snapping himself out of his thoughts he looked back at Ross "So if we do agree… what's the protocol?" he asked.

Ross smiled "Well you'd all have to wait for orders from the United Nations and if they deem it a national emergency they'll send you in." he explained. Tony nodded his head it made sense but he still wasn't sure.

"Stark if in the future you settle down? Don't you want your children to feel safe? Your wife safe?" Ross said as he squeezed Tony's shoulder tightly.

Tony thought of Pepper even though they were on a break he still loved her and cared for her. Also Jon when Tony found him he wanted to keep him safe and happy. Have a long life and not be plagued by the worry of an alien invasion or rogue mutants. He always wanted to keep his loved ones safe.

Tony looked at Ross "Where do I sign up general?" he asked, Ross smirked and offered him a pen.

It didn't go down well with the team, practically half and half. Rhodey had always been a military man and he knew that going rogue wasn't the way forward. Vision was logical and saw the long term benefits and Natasha was still trying to wipe the red of her ledger.

So that was his team and Cap was against him (figures). As soon as this 'Civil War' started Tony knew he had made mistakes. Like putting Wanda on house arrest but he wanted to keep her safe away from Ross who would kill for the Hulk and Tony was worried if he discovered the extent of Wanda's power.

Essentially Steve becoming public enemy no.1 after helping Bucky escape the compound was something Tony could have done without. Then he recruited Peter Parker A.K.A Spiderman (boy) and he found he was missing Jon even more especially since Peter was the same age. He was awkward and Geeky but he was a good kid, Tony wanted Jon to be like that but maybe less geeky and some muscle would be good.

Basically all this fighting was stopping Tony from searching for his son and after the airport battle and Rhodey's decent quite literally; Vision gave him even more sad news.

"I'm afraid I cannot trace the stone" Vison said with genuine sadness as Tony looked at him "What?" he asked.

Vision took things quite literally so he repeated his statement but Tony waved him off he looked through the window at Rhodey who was having his back scanned. More bad news "Can you try again?" he asked looking at Vision with his best puppy eyes.

Vision shook his head "I tried I cannot project the stones power over universes or realities that aren't in our solar system." He explained.

"So maybe we need to build something that projects the stones power further?" Tony questioned looking at Vision. Who tilted his head "Possibly perhaps we should look into it?" He said.

Tony nodded "After all this has sorted itself out when there are less distractions" he said eyeing Vision who lowered his head.

Tony peered over his shoulder and saw Natasha and felt anger rush through him, she let Steve escape now it was even more of a problem. She nodded her head as an indication to step outside, he found her on the balcony.

"So… how'd it go today. I'm sure nothing got past you?" he said sarcastically.

She looked at him angrily "Can you let go of your ego? For one second?" she hissed with a glare.

He glared back at her "Sorry but in case you haven't noticed it's my only setting" he said before saying more seriously "They are coming for you."

She looked at him with impassive eyes "I'm not the one that needs to watch their back." As she swung round he watched her walk away red hair swinging.

He let out a deep breath and ran his hand through his hair, he was getting too old for this constant threat of danger. Constantly looking over his shoulder and now he was stuck in a cycle of destruction.

Beep.

He pulled his phone out, it was Ross and honestly he couldn't deal with it. He was tempted to hang up but he took the call. He then saw all of his closest friends behind bars it made him want to slap himself he'd made the wrong decision even if he did do it for good reasons.

Now he stood outside the lost Hydra compound and took a deep breath, he was here as a friend to help Steve and Bucky. He pried the door open again and walked as quietly as he could which was hard as he clunked in his titanium suit.

"Friday give me a scan of the building and all heat sources" he said as he cast his head around.

The scan popped up it was almost like a bunker with multiple layers, lots of rusted metal and old wood. "Three heat sources detected sir, I believe one of them is Zemo." Friday replied.

"Ok Friday anything else?" he asked as he looked at the three coloured specs, Cap was moving in slowly.

"Yes Sir five more sources but they are rapidly cooling" she said. He nodded his head as he moved to the thick metal doors and pulled them apart slowly. He was faced with Steve and the Winter Soldier, the latter holding a Kalashnikov. Warm Welcome.

He slid his face plate up and eyed cap warily "Interested in a truce?" he said with his hands raised. Cap smiled slightly, the trust they had was seriously being questioned by the both of them. To Tony's surprise he nodded but Barnes was less optimistic and continued to point the gun at him.

"Hey buddy there's a truce going on here drop the gun." He said gesturing to him and cap.

Bucky's eyes narrowed slightly before he lowered the gun. Soon they were on their way through the maze of stone all of them on guard but Tony got the impression Barnes was more worried about him as anytime he made a sudden movement Barnes cocked his gun slightly.

They entered the room and at the opposite end they found the bastard Zemo locked in a bunker that Tony couldn't blast through because apparently it could withstand nuclear blasts.

"Why are you doing this?" Steve asked as he saw Zemo smiling smugly "Isn't it obvious" he asked.

He then leant forward and clicked couple of buttons "Mr Stark this is for you." He said gesturing to the video recorder that read 16th April 1991. No no. He saw it his parents murdered by Barnes. He smashed his father's skull in and choked his mother to death as she called for Howard.

He moved towards Barnes without even registered it and soon cap was pulling him back. He was about to tell cap to piss off but then Zemo interrupted "Also I do not believe you have seen this either" he said and changed the tape.

Tony already was holding in tears but they soon fell when he saw the next video. It was in a lab lots of scalpels and frightening instruments. Only a doctor was present but soon two guards carried in a kicking infant.

Jon.

He was screaming all the way to the examining table it cut through Tony like a thousands of knives. He felt a sob escape his throat but he took a deep breath and forced himself to watch. Jon was screaming loudly.

"Daddy!" over and over again.

The man that was strapping him into the table turned around and the camera caught his face clearly. James Barnes stared back, his face expressionless as he walked away but he soon returned and tied a gag around his son's mouth.

Jon continued to scream until the doctor injected something into him and he stopped struggling. "Tony who is that." Steve said touching his arm gently, he snatched it away he didn't owe Rogers anything or Barnes.

He glared at Steve viciously "Did you know?" he asked quietly as he kept his eye locked on Barnes who stared at his feet quietly.

"About your parents…yes but who was that?" he admitted watching Tony very slowly.

He looked back and hit cap hard around the face and made his move towards Barnes. He was seeing red. He killed his parents and hurt his son and now he was going to pay for it, sure his son was still alive but what happened to him in that lab?

Tony didn't want to know and soon he had Barnes where he wanted him but Barnes was strong and got him up against the wall and tried to pull his reactor out. Tony struggle against him and fired his repulsor at his metal arm. He then brought his fist down hard into the side of Barnes' head it slowed him down but it didn't stop him.

He was about to fire the repulsor again but he didn't he stared at Barnes is this what you want? A little voice inside his head asked. Tony didn't know but every time his resolve shook he thought of his son screaming for him and he wasn't there. Because of Barnes and Hydra so he gritted his teeth and raised his repulsor at Barnes but as he was lining up the shot Cap came out of nowhere and pulled him back and rammed him into the wall.

They fought a minute until Steve had wrestled him and his disabled suit into the floor. But he didn't kill him like he thought they stared at each other until cap got up and moved to Bucky propping him up and he started to pick up his shield.

"It doesn't belong to you…my father made it." He gasped out as he struggled to sit up.

Steve looked from him to the shield and then finally at Bucky who was unconscious. With a resounding shake he dropped the shield and walked away not looking back. Tony took a deep breath and finally allowed himself to sob.

I'm sorry Tony.

Those were last words of Steve's letter. He looked at it and crumpled it up and flung it over his shoulder. He wasn't ready to let go quite yet.

Sighing he looked up at the ceiling. "What do I do J?" he asked pulling out a picture of an infant Jon from his wallet. He smiled and ran his fingers over the photo.

"I miss you" he whispered sadly before tucking the Photo away and taking a deep breath.

It was lonely with just him, Vision and Rhodey it was scary. Tony wondered if it would always end up just the three of them like usual. With a sigh he moved around down the stairs to the lounge where Rhodes and Vision were.

"So…" he let the statement hang as he looked between them. Vision was missing Wanda and Rhodes was still adjusting to his new legs.

Back to his purpose finding his son. "Vision you found anything on J?" he asked.

Vision looked up slowly and shook his head before asking "Have you thought of a way to communicate with him?"

Tony shook his head he could try to talk to the stone in Visions head but he'd save him the embarrassment. He moved slowly to try and give his bruised limbs a rest, his age catching up with him.

He slumped next to Rhodey and closed his eyes he was about to doze off until a slap around the head woke him up.

"Hey!" he said rubbing his head as he looked to Rhodey who was scanning the file with vivid attention.

"Tony." He said as a grin spread across his face "Can you get a hold of Dr Selvig?" he asked.

Tony felt himself frown of course he could "Why?" he asked slowly. Feeling like he was missing something important.

Rhode gave him an impatient look "How did Loki get to the base in New Mexico?" he asked before Tony answered he asked another question "How did the aliens invade New York?" he said again smiling widely as Tony started to put the pieces together.

A portal. They got through a portal that led them to earth. Hydra had possession of the stones for a short time that's how they sent Jon to another world.

"A portal" he whispered as he jumped out and pulled out his phone. "I'll get Selvig" he said as he made his way to the door.

"Good I'll try and find Banner" Rhodey said as he made his way to the door also.

Tony stopped him "How" he said casting a look to his legs.

Rhodes rolled his eyes "Don't question me go go!" he said flapping his hands around.

Tony went and made arrangements to get Selvig over here ASAP.
