(A/N) This one is kinda short so sorry about that. But to the person who recommended I watch Avengers Assemble on Netflix thank you it's amazing I've been watching it all day.
"Alright J." Tony called up to his A.I.. "Let's do a test run."
"I would not advise it Sir. There is still a multitude of tests that have to be made before you take a test run." Jarvis tried talking sense into the mechanic who was already heading over to the assembly station.
"Remind me to update you so you aren't such a party killer." Tony stepped on the foot holds and waited for the A.I. to assemble the suit. "Come on Jarv don't be a pouter." The mechanical arms came from the system and applied the parts to Mark VIII, not very kindly Tony might add.
When the face plate came on and the screen lit up Tony felt a strange reassurance that always came with being safely concealed in his suit. "See J? Nothing to worry about."
"Might I remind you that we haven't taken off yet Sir?" Jarvis chimed in and Tony made a note to take back on Jarvis' sass meter when he got back. "Sir the Avengers have been notified of your plans and are on their way."
"Who the hell told them?" Tony shouted.
" requested any information about you that seemed detrimental to your health." The british voice explained as the towers guests entered the workshop to see Tony in his suit.
"Here we go." Tony sighed as his mask slid up revealing his face to four very angry people. "I'm guessing your not mad because we ran out of milk right?"
"The hell did you think you were doing?" Steve asked his arms crossed angrily. "You can't go flying around after get shot."
"Oh come on I was barely shot." Tony rolled his eyes trying to lighten the mood.
"This isn't a joke Stark." Clint said. "Someone is trying to kill you. Going out in a red and yellow metal suit is just giving a target."
"Assuming they can get something that can break through the armour." He was starting to get agravated at his 'team.' They were more suffocating him then helping. "Thor couldn't do it. Those things couldn't do it, the Hul," he caught himself, "the other guy, could barely break through it. Someone who takes advantage of single mothers won't have anything that can break through this." He gestured to all of him. "Aren't you supposed to be finding a missing kid right now? Why don't you do something actually useful instead of pesting me when I'm fine."
The mask lowered quickly and flew out of the workshop through an open window leaving the other four standing in a mess of flying papers.
Tony flew high over Manhattan looking over the city that looked more than a little worse for wear. Rubble covered the streets that city workers along with other clean up crews tried to handle. He thought for a moment about heading down to help clean the city that he destroyed in the first place but he kept flying. It was his fault for all of this destruction the last thing that the city needed to be reminded of was him. So Tony kept flying trying his hardest not to look down.
"Sir," Jarvis said with concern in his electronic voice. "The Mark VIII is not ready for these heights. I would advise for you to lower altitude Sir."
He hadn't even realized how high he had been going until he looked down and the city was hidden by the layer of clouds he had flown over. Trying to angle himself downward he soon realized he couldn't. It felt as though his limbs were locked into place.
"Jarvis deplete energy from thrusters." Tony ordered alarmed the the error messages that glowed red on his screen. "J what is a error message doing on my screen for my suit?"
"The thrusters and joints of Mark VIII have been locked Sir from what appears to be an outside source. I can not stop them."
"Someone hacked my suit?" Impossible he designed the security on all of his tech himself. "Is communication still up?"
"Yes Sir thrusters and joint rotation are the only parts of the suit affected. May I ask what you are planning Sir?" Jarvis said with a voice polite as ever.
"Tell Barton to ready the quinjet. I've got a really bad idea." He waited a few seconds before he was informed of the rest of the Avengers being on there way. "Well tell them to hurry up it's getting a little hard to breathe."
Tony quickly thanked S.H.I.E.L.D. for the time they spent making their jets as fast as possible. Because between the short distance Tony got before his suit went haywire and the speed of the jet the team was there in about a minute.
"Tony, what's going on?" Steve's voice came in over the helmets sound system.
"Just shut up and open the maintenance door and aim it at me." The ship did it quickly and many more ignored questions ran through his helmet. "Jarvis open to suit, don't give me the safety speech, just open the suit."
The safety on the suit was overrode and as the metal fell of his chest he fell through the sky."
