Guide: When Tony was conceived, Maria was possessed by an angel and Howard by a demon. I don't know which ones or why, because I didn't get to that point yet.

in the gutter where we found it (MARVEL/SPN)

The Avengers—Bruce, Thor, Steve, Clint, and Natasha that was—were returning from a long term mission in Afghanistan. They had been trying to stop a group of terrorists and it even worked!

Well, sort of. The terrorists did still kill people, but less than a tenth of what they had previously planned, so that was something.

Tony had not been included in the mission for several reasons. He was too high profile, he was too busy with Stark Industries, he still had PTSD, and he had been injured to name a few.

Anyways, the point was that Tony had not been on the mission and he did not seem to be in the Tower either, which was kind of worrying, honestly.

They searched the entire Tower up and down—twice!—until they worked out how to reactivate JARVIS who confirmed that Tony was not in the Tower and directed their attention to the missed phone calls.

Hey, er, are any of you back from you-know-where yet? No? That sucks, because this is the only number I can remember and I kind of need help. You see, I've gotten myself, er, kidnapped and now I'm trapped and I sort of need a human to free me and, er, I'm not. Surprise! It's a long story that I promise I will tell you once you find me. I swear on whatever is left of my soul. I will still be here, no matter how long it takes. It's all going to make sense. Hope to see you soon! Tony.

Tony, where are you! You were supposed to attend a meeting in Tokyo two days ago and the gala in Milan is starting any second! Jarvis says that the system in the Tower has been removed with your authority. If you are hiding in your workshop again this will have serious consequences!

Hey, I don't suppose any of you are back yet? Because I am kind of getting bored. I'm just lucky that they have yet to... I am not going to finish that sentence; we all know what that would lead to. By the way, the room I am being kept in had a total of 1,234 bricks. Funny number, huh? I wish I had something to entertain myself. This phone is prehistoric. Please call me as soon as you return. Hugs and kisses, Tony.

Hello? My name is Peter Parker, an intern, and I was told to call here for an interview? I guess whoever is in charge of this phone is busy. I will call back in a couple of days.

Boss? Where are you? You told me you were really excited for this event, so I doubt you would let allow JARVIS to let you forget.

Hey, Tony here. I'm guessing you're still in the country that must not be named? So, I am kind of starting to get hungry. I haven't eaten in a month. Don't worry though! J can confirm that I don't really need that much food due to the fact that I'm not human. I mentioned that last time, didn't I? Or was it the one before that? It does not really matter either way, I guess. Just to remind you, I'm trapped, bored, and hungry. Still, it could be worse. Why did I just say that!

Tones, where are you? You were supposed to meet me five hours ago! No one has heard from you in two weeks, we're starting to worry.

Mr. Tony, this is Harvey Keener. My mother she's—she's in hospital. You said that if we ever need help I can call this number. I don't know who else I could call.

This is Peter Parker again. My superior says that normally such things get processed much faster, but it's alright, I can wait.

I brought this onto myself, really, but I am kind of, sort of being tortured, I guess? Again, don't worry my unique nature—really, I would know if there was someone else like me, believe me—it is not working the way they expect it to. One side of me cancels a second out to a certain point, the same is true in reverse and the third is pretty hard to destroy...I need to stop saying things like this. Would be nice if you could hurry up with those blasted terrorists, my situation is kind of getting worse by day. I'll stop now before I say any more things like that. Bye.

Mr. Tony, my sister and I really need your help. The doctors say Mum's got cancer. They give her a month to live. Penny has yet to stop crying.

6 days ago

Tony, this is Pepper. Where are you? Why aren't you replying to any attempts to contact you? I am starting to worry.

5 days ago

Boss, why can't anyone reach the private levels of the tower? Is something wrong?

4 days ago

Tones, I swear if I have not heard from you until the end of the week, I am flying over there myself and I will destroy your entire car collection and return Dummy's blender and coffee machine privileges.

2 days ago

This is Peter Parker again. My superior says that the last time something like this was delayed this long was during—oh, sorry, I probably should not talk about that. I will continue to eagerly await your call.

You can start to worry now, guys. Beaten, hungry, exhausted and even less human than before. At least I'm less bored, I guess? Downside: I might be developing a new and worrying addiction. Plus side: I think I might have made two news friends. They don't talk much, but one of them grins occasionally and I am the only person the other one has not attempted to kill by glaring yet, so I think there might be a chance. They look oddly familiar, though...

Mr. Tony, are you there? This is Harely and I really need the help of the best mechanic on the planet.

12 hours ago

Tony, that's it! I am flying over there! Expect me tomorrow, I just need to handle this final meeting.

7 hours ago

Tones, this is not funny and I will skin you alive if you think it is! I am coming over.

5 hours ago

Boss, I am seriously worried. I will be coming over as soon as possible.

Guys, are you back yet? Because I figured out where I knew these guys from and I wish I had not. It's Sam Winchester and the Winter Soldier. The latter turned out to have an earlier identity that is going to break Cap's heart. But this leads me to the conclusion that whoever has taken me has more defenses than just those immediately around me, because otherwise someone would have found us already. It would be nice if you could work out where we are soon, I'm sure some has to have made some headw-is that Loki? Sorry, gotta hang up, they're back.

Further Plans: Wouldn't that be awesome?

Requirements: ...do the idea justice...?

Please tell me what you think!
