Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I kind of quickly wrote this and once I was at the end of it, I was too lazy to revise it xD
Oh, and I might be making more chapters for this story today, just giving you heads up on that.

"Wait, what?" Ezio was freaking out.

"You heard me!" Tony shouted as he turned a left. The robots were right on his ass. One aimed and locked onto his, firing. Tony widened his eyes and went to shoot out flares, but wasn't quick enough. He got hit and let go of Ezio.

Ezio fell and quickly glanced around, for he only had a few more seconds until he hit the ground. Finding a street light, he grabbed onto it just in time and swung on it. He jumped off and flung himself forward, landing perfectly on his feet. He smiled, feeling quite proud of himself. All until half of the robots locked onto him and flew towards him. Turning around, he frowned and ran off.

Meanwhile, Tony was having a mini panic attack. "JARVIS. JARVIS, what the hell happened to Ezio?"

"Recalculating…" JARVIS spoke.

Tony waited impatiently as JARVIS calculated where Ezio might have been.

"Ezio not found."

"What, are you saying he's dead?"

"Not entirely. I'm just unable to find him, sir."

"Agh, crap!" Tony had no choice and kept going. Rhodey was right behind him. He made sure he dodged every one of his attacks. Luckily, he could still talk to Rhodey. As he approached a metal sculpture of the world that was in a fountain, he shouted, "Dodge your socks and grab your crocs, Rhodey. We're in for a wet one."

"Wait, what? Tony—" Rhodey began, but was immediately directed into the sculpture behind Tony. As he went in, so did all of the others. As nervous as he was, he had no choice and luckily, he didn't die. As for the others…they were doomed to defeat.

Ezio cut through the crowds of swarming people like a cheetah running after his prey. He gently pushed passed them and for a split second, his eyes wondered off to a gap in the crowd. There, was a little kid with an Iron Man mask. He looked up at one of the suits that had gone insane. Ezio stopped dead in his tracks and ran towards the kid. Taking out his War Hammer, Ezio jumped up and smashed it into the robots head. He pulled out the weapon and stuck it back in its holder. He glanced at the kid and smiled, "Stay safe, bambino." He patted the kid's head and ran off into the night.

He was confused as to where the hell he was going, but Ezio had no choice but to run. Dodging blasts from the robots, he managed to find the perfect building to climb. Ejecting out both of his hidden blades, he ran up and stuck them into the wall, climbing upwards. He went as fast as he could until he reached the top of the building. Turning around, he could see the robots fly in.

They landed right in from of him, and they were huge. One raised its hand and aimed, shooting.

Ezio used both of his blades and crossed them together, managing to block the beams with them. He smiled, finding a new way to protect himself as he redirected it back to the robot. It blasted its head off, making it drop to its knees and fall onto its face.

Ezio looked back to the other robot and pulled out his sword. He flicked his head. "Come, bastardo. Let's see what you are made of." Grinning, Ezio ran up and forced himself up towards the robots head. Once he got close enough, he went to slash at it, only to be grabbed by it.

The vicious machine pounded him into the ground and threw him.

Ezio flew through the air and hit the ground of the roof. He tumbled and skid across it, coming closer and closer to the edge. He tumbled off and quickly grabbed the edge of it.

The robot made its way over and went to blast at Ezio. It charged and fired, getting knocked down by Tony. The beam hit a nearby hot dog stand.

Ezio widened his eyes in joy and hurriedly pulled himself up. He turned to Tony and ran along the roof top, jumping from one to another. He almost fell and trip at times, but he managed to save himself. He ran along as Tony flew next to him. Suddenly, Tony flew faster as Rhodey then caught up next to Ezio. Ezio thought for a moment and hesitantly ran closer to the edge. Once he made up his mind, he jumped onto Rhodey's back.

He almost slid off, but he hauled himself back up. Rhodey tried to shake him off, but Ezio rode him like his own horse. He grinned and turned his body to the side, stretching his arm out. He aimed his hidden gun at some of the robots and shot at them. It took about two or three shots until he got one down. He wasted half of his bullets on one and the other half on another. There were only three more left.

He thought quickly and snatched his crossbow from his back and shot a few at them. They were out like a light. It was only them three. They flew through a parking garage and then towards a glass dome. Ezio stored his crossbow back behind him, and then turned back around. He was trying to figure out a way to get Rhodey to stop attacking Tony. He then released his hidden blade and stuck it into the neck of Rhodey's armor. Damaging it and cutting out wires, Rhodey began to lose control and crash into the dome.

They both fell to the ground. Ezio forced himself off as they both fell and fortunately, Tony caught him in mid-air. He looked up to Tony and smiled. "Grazie, Amico!"

"No problem. Mind telling me what happened to Rhodey?" Tony landed and let go of Ezio.

Walking over to Rhodey, Ezio knelt down and pointed to his neck. "I cut a few wires in hope that it would make him lose control."

"Hmm, smart move. I'm surprised you thought of such a thing." Tony smirked, crossing his arms. He knew that Ezio couldn't harm him in the armor, so he knew he could say almost anything and Ezio couldn't do a thing.

Ezio glared. "You might be in that armor, but don't think I can't get to you still," He stood up and sighed. "Now what?"

Tony glanced at Rhodey as Rhodey's mask slid open. He knelt down next to him and gently shook him. "Rhodey…Rhodester, wake up!"

Rhodey laid there unconscious and then started to groan. To Tony, that was a good sign. He slowly started to open his eyes.

"C'mon, buddy. We don't have much time left. They're gonna be here any second." Tony glanced around one more time.

Rhodey sat up and sighed, getting up to his feet. "Thank God I have control over the armor again," He looked to Tony. "What's the plan?"

Tony thought to himself. "Hmm, maybe you could get the upper part of this place. I'll stay down here."

"What? Tony, this is the death zone. Ya know what the death zone is, Tony? This is where you go to die, hence the name: Death Zone!" Rhodey ranted on.

Before Tony could argue back, suits of armor hit the ground with a loud thump. They surrounded them and soon, Tony, Rhodey, and Ezio went back-to-back.

The machines started firing and flying over to them to break them up. Rhodey started firing from his guns and rockets. Tony blasted his repulsors while Ezio jumped onto machines and started piercing them with his hidden place.

Once everything started to be too much for them, Tony shouted, "GET DOWN!"

Ezio looked over and jumped off, rolling onto the ground as he then laid down. Rhodey crouched down as Tony stretched out both of his arms and shot out a red laser beam from each arm. He spun around and once the beam ran out, he stopped. All of the robots were dead, and luckily, Ezio and Rhodey weren't.

Rhodey stood along with Ezio. "You should do that more often." Rhodey huffed.

"Sorry, I can only use it once." Tony nodded and ejected the used beams from his arms.

Before they could even take a break, they could see a huge suit of armor. It was Ivan. He landed, shaking the ground so hard that Ezio lost balance and fell. Rhodey and Tony managed to stay up due to their heavy suits of armor.

Embarrassed from falling on his ass, Ezio quickly got to his feet. He looked up, seeing Ivan remove his face mask. He didn't say a word. Without thinking, Ezio grabbed his crossbow and shot an arrow at Ivan's head. He smirked and closed his mask quickly as the arrow bounced off of it. He then took out his whips and slashed at them. He mostly went for Ezio and even hit him. A line from the whip went across his left shoulder to his right hip.

Ezio grunted in pain and dropped to his knees.

Tony widened his eyes as Rhodey fired at Ivan with missiles and rockets. He fired with his turret, but Ivan ripped it off with his whip. Tony shouted to Ezio, "Ezio! Are you alright?" He never got a reply. Without warning, Ivan's whip locked around his neck and it pulled him in and it did with Rhodey as well. They both tried shooting at him, but it was no use.

Ezio managed to rise to his feet. He clutched most of his wound with his left arm and looked up to Rhodey and Tony getting strangled by Ivan. He frowned and panicked, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Ivan's face mask lifted, revealing his face. Ezio slowly smiled and ran up, releasing his hidden blade and going for Ivan's face. It was like everything was in slow-motion. He could even feel his heart race. Using all of the strength he had, Ezio stabbed Ivan in the face and quickly pulled the blade out.

Jumping off, he watched as Ivan fell to his knees and dropped onto his face. Rhodey and Tony were let go, and soon they headed to Ezio.

"That was…amazing." Rhodey nodded, smiling behind his face plate.

Tony patted Ezio's shoulder. "Nice job, man," Remembering Ezio's wound, he frowned. "Shit. We've gotta get you to the hospital."

Ezio started to couch out blood and almost fell, until Rhodey caught him. Before they could fly off, all of the machines around them started to blink red.

"What's going on?" Rhodey asked, still holding Ezio so he wouldn't fall.

"Looks like Ivan rigged them. Come on!" Tony blasted off as Rhodey quickly followed after him. Tony suddenly realized that Pepper was in danger. She was near all of the suits and right now, they were probably seconds from exploding. He flew faster and sliced through the air like a jet. He turned corners and dodged poles. Soon, he finally made it, seeing Pepper standing outside of the Expo. He watched her look down to one of the suits next to her as he came closer. It began to blink red and before she walked closer, he slowed down, picked her up, and then regained speed. He flew as far away from the suit as possible as she watched the explosion behind them.

Tony dropped down on one of the buildings and took his helmet off. It was bugging him anyway. He looked back to Pepper. "You okay?"

"Am I okay? I refuse to talk to you and then all of a sudden, you come in and save me from an exploding suit? I am not okay!" Pepper began to rant on about things that really didn't make much sense. It only made sense to her. "You could have died out there!"

Tony looked at her with a confused look. "I think I did okay!" Tony nodded.

"That's it…that's it; I literally cannot take the stress. I'm resigning."

"W-what?" Tony asked, surprised. He couldn't believe she had just said that. He was just about to get on his knees and beg for her not to resign.

"I resign." She repeated.

"Pepper, we can make this work. I'll give you more breaks, a raise, I don't care. Whatever you want—"

"Come on, Pepper. He's beggin'."

They both turned to see Rhodey, sitting on a piece of debris. He smirked.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Tony asked.

"Long enough," Rhodey stood up and walked over. "Once you flew off, I went and took Ezio to the hospital. I came back here to tell you guys."

"Wait, Ezio's in the hospital? We have to go make sure he's okay!" Pepper nodded.

"Agreed." Tony smiled and grabbed his helmet and then he grabbed Pepper, flying off as Rhodey had followed right behind them.

Once they made it to the Hospital, Pepper didn't hesitate to walk right in. She walked over to the receptionist, asking, "Where's Ezio?"

The receptionist slowly looked up to her. She looked more like a librarian with a scrubs outfit than someone who looked like they worked at the hospital. She then looked back to Rhodey and Tony, who had walked in, nearly stomping due to their heavy suits. The woman sighed, "You mean, Ezio Auditore?"

Pepper nodded rapidly. "Yes, yes him."

"Down the hall to your left, fourth door to your right."

Pepper, Rhodey, and Tony quickly made their way to Ezio's room. Once they found it, Pepper ran in. She looked to see Ezio lying in the bed. He was alright and his wound had been sowed up. Slowly turning his head to them, he faintly smiled. He looked half asleep and calm. Very, very calm. "Ciao…amicos." He whispered loudly.

Pepper smiled, keeping back her tears as she headed over. "Hey…how ya doin'?"

"I-I'm doing bene. Very, very bene."

Tony walked over as well and smirked. "I see nothin' can take you down, huh? Well…you sure have balls."

Ezio looked over to Tony and coughed. "You know…I have been…meaning to tell you…something." He took pauses between each word so he could cough.

"Yeah? What is it?" Tony crossed his arms, waiting for the question.

"I know we….have our moments that we…fight, but…I want you to know…that I…have your back. You will always…be in my Brotherhood…in my mind." Ezio promptly nodded.

Tony slowly smirked. "Thanks you, Ezio. I mean it. I know I say some stuff that might offend you, but it's just—"

"It's just his way of saying he loves you. In a non-perverted way." Pepper smiled and chuckled.

"Uhh, yeah. Kinda like that.," Tony perked a brow. "Anyways, we should let you rest." Tony nodded and headed out. Rhodey waved good-bye and Pepper soon followed.

Ezio let his head rest against his pillow as he closed his eyes.

Pepper quickly slipped in and made her way over to Ezio. She planted her lips onto his as he opened his eyes. She back off of him and smiled. "Have a nice rest, Ezio." She walked out again and shut the door behind her.
