Clint raced across the room grabbing Natasha's wrist and pulling her into his chest. "It's not your fault, Tasha, it wasn't your fault." Tears spilled out onto his shirt, and she pulled away wiping her eyes. Suddenly applause broke out on the other side of the room and they all turned to see a very smug Loki leering at them from the corner of the room. "You smug, evil bastard!"Steve growled his arms quivering as Thor reached out to restrain him. Thor looked at his brother with anger and an actual hint of hatred in his eyes. "Loki, this is cruel, why do this?" Loki looked shocked and then smiled. "No "Brother", Thor? Just Loki?" Thor snarled at him. "My brother is DEAD, Loki. You killed him."

Loki just rolled his eyes, but Natasha could have sworn she saw him flinch ever so slightly. "Well since Pepper," He smirked again saying Peppers name with distain and contempt. "Has taken the liberty of explaining the next few memories, and Mr. Stark is causing some slight problems, I think we will skip ahead to some recent things before we go back to Afghanistan shall we? Enjoy." Then he disappeared and the screen flickered to life again.

It was back on the Helicarrier and Steve everything was getting out of hand.

"Big man in a suit of armor, take that away what are you?" Steve glared and Tony could see the look of disappointment in his eyes, looking for something that wasn't there. He was looking for Howard and Tony knew it. He wanted to speak the truth. He wanted to agree. He wasn't anything, with or without the armor. He knew that, he really didn't need his childhood hero telling him so, though it did stab him through the heart.

"Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist." He says even though he knows he doesn't mean it. He knew Natasha, Steve, everyone was right. He wasn't needed. Banner was smart enough to take care of their needs, and if they ever did need help, he wasn't going to say no, on or off the team."

"I know men with none of that worth ten of you." He had to resist snorting at that. Well duh Cap, everyone is worth ten of me, even Loki to Thor. Loki's a fuckin whiny bastard, but he isn't evil like Tony. Of course you know men worth more Cap, everyone is worth more than a monster. His heart hurt and he was a little distracted trying to hold it together when he hears it.

"…You don't know what it means to lay down on the wire and let the other guy crawl over you!"

Well, Ouch. That stung. Like he hadn't been trying to? God he had tried to save the world from himself so many damn times. Everyone stopped him for some damn reason. If Cap cares about the greater good so much, why wasn't he eliminating the greatest threat to everyone, the REAL monster on the team, because Bruce Banner was no monster. He cared and tried to help people. Bruce didn't deserve to be hunted, He did.

"I think I'd just cut the wire." He said sarcastically, trying very hard not to just walk away, because then it would be pretty obvious everything wasn't fine, it would be obvious his Ex hero's words killed him.

"Humf, Always a way out isn't there?" He mentally cringed. No Cap, there isn't. Not when your whole life means nothing but murder and deceit. He knows he doesn't deserve a way out. He really didn't need one though, because that wire dear old Cap just talked about? It was already wrapped around his neck.

The screen faded away and Tony's voice speaking his thoughts disappeared. Everyone turned to Steve to see his face totally white. "I think, I think I'm gonna be sick…" He said and his legs gave out under him, sending him crashing to the ground. "Steve!"Bruce ,Natasha and Clint yelled running to his side. Pepper, Rhodey, Fury, and Thor just stood watching in shock of what they had just seen and heard. Natasha held Steve's head up and Clint slapped him gently getting him back to focus. Tears rolled down Steve's face and he held Natasha's hand as Clint helped him sit up. "Oh god…I didn't know…I'm so sorry…."He muttered and Natasha looked over at him warily. They needed out. Soon, or everyone in this room was going to walk out a madman. "Steve, hey man, it's okay, everything will be alright .Tony's gonna be fine. We will take care of him now. We will show him he's not a monster, that he's not evil. He's hardly ever had anyone to care about him before, but now he has a family. Us." Clint spoke so surely it made Natasha crack a smile and steadied Steve's breathing. "It's starting again." Rhodey's broken voice rang and the group turned to face it, wondering just how much more they can take.

Sorry if the quotes weren't quite word for word there guys, I haven't watched the movie in a while and I didn't want to go searching for the exact wording. Love you all, tell me what you think please!
