"It's the little band of rogues! Got bored of Wakandan sun already?"

Sam swore silently in his mind. He should have known this would happen. The best option would be to stand down and surrender. This was Starks turf and fighting would only make the consequences worst.

Steve would want to fight. He was always saying he could do this all day. But they couldn't.

Not only would they most likely lose, but they were also probably outnumbered. Sam couldn't see anyone else at the moment but he knew that Stark was a clever man.

He would have called backup the moment his baby girl shutdown. Not to mention that FRIDAY was very advanced and had warned Stark since the man was already here.

AND on top of that. Stark was powerful. Always evolving and advancing. Last time he had probably gone easy on them. But this time he was protective, hurt and betrayed.

This time it was time for Sam to really think. To choose.

Sam slowly turns around to face the billionaire. The man was hovering over them his other hand-stretched out. His signature pose. The suit he wore was older than the last mark. Maybe a number or two. Tony hadn't really had the time to make a new one with all the hassle, but he was feeling more confident with his new powers and the fact Wanda was out of this game.

Sam was about to say something. Maybe try to peace the man when Scott opens his mouth.

"Listen man... I don't want trouble. I mean- I don't want more trouble. I really just want to see my daughter. This was all a mistake" he stood there his hands up. A universal sign of surrender.

Tony stares at him for a moment.

"Look at that the little man has brains after all" he pauses listening "Also Hope sais you are an idiot"

Scott just sighs but nods.

"Scott what are you doing?" Rogers stage whispers.

"Sorry Cap but I have to think about my daughter. Clint got redemption. Maybe I will too?" The last part was directed at Tony.

Tony nods. "It will be negotiated with the rest of the council. And you did destroy a plane so you have to pay for that. But since you so nicely surrendered willingly I'm confident I can negotiate you a house arrest like for Clint"

Scotts sighs in relief. Wanda and Steve were giving him betrayed looks. While Sam looked conflicted. Natasha had yet to return but she was there. Somewhere.

"Tony we need to talk" Steve tries his posture relaxed but ready to go at any moment.

"Well, I have nothing to say to you. Surrender now and this won't get ugly. See I've had a really bad month and I don't appreciate you all daring to come here and hurting FRIDAY" his voice was cold and turned into a growl in the end.

Sam knew it was a bad idea to touch the AI.

"It's just a robot Stark get over it, one less of your murder bots the better" Wanda sniped.

Abort! Abort! Screamed in Sams' mind. That was probably one of the worst moves that could have been made.

"I agree with Scott. This was a mistake. I surrender too" Sam quickly injects. He didn't want to be here when Stark blows up. And this all was a mistake. He didn't agree with the accords but everything that has happened. Rhodey... Everything. Just a big mistake.

"SAM!" Rogers shouts surprised. Now it really was just him, Wanda with no powers and Natasha. He had to do something. He couldn't let Tony do this.

Tony himself was fuming. He retracted his helmet and only managed to nod at Sam. His eyes didn't leave Wanda. How dare she?

Then Vision was there. Next to Tony with Handcuffs. Sam and Scott went willingly to him but Steve and Wanda stood their ground.

"Tony you can't do this!" He shouted suddenly angry. Tony couldn't do this! They were in the right! The government couldn't be trusted! And Tony was just being their attack dog.

Suddenly widow bites flew in. Hitting Tony straight to his neck and the weak point behind his shoulder blate. His suit stuttered and he fell limp as he fell to the ground and seized.

Steve froze for a moment. He didn't want to hurt Tony again. He just wanted him to see.

Then Wanda was there pulling him. This was their chance to run. Clearly Tony wasn't ready to listen.

Tony cried out in pain.

His mind felt scrambled and his heart stuttered at the electric shock he was given. It took him a moment to absorb that electricity. Damn that hurt.

Vision was there kneeling before him. Worried. Tony took off the suit. The electricity coursing through it was ganging up with the one on his neck. His eyes flashed between red and blue as they tried to stabilize him.

"I'm okay kid... Ugh ow"

"They have apprehended " Vision stated what he heard through his own com since Tony's was now fried.

Tony sees Steve and Wanda running away. His eyes turn red.

"Oh no you don't"

He sets his hand on the ground. Fire spread from his hands snaking on the ground and circling the land. Trapping the two.

Rogers looks spooked. How did Tony do that? Another dangerous experiment he didn't tell them about?

Wanda felt rage. How can Stark have powers like these when hers are taken. It wasn't fair!

Tony's eyes blaze. He knew the others had joined them. Their expressions are full of wonder.

He saw fear and awe in Wilsons and Lang's eyes. He was intimidating with red eyes standing tall and fire all around.

The fire slowly started to move in forcing Steve and Wanda to move back.

"Tony what have you done to yourself?" A voice asks behind Tony. Natasha was dragged closer by Fury. Her expression was blank but her eyes conveyed the surprise. Fury didn't look phased at all. He always knew Tony was powerful with or without his powers.

"Oh this? This is a little fix up I had to resort to after my friendly encounter with Rogers and Barnes after they left me to die"

Steve flinched at that.

"You used Extremis?! Tony that's so dangerous. To yourself and to others what were you thinking?"

"It's modified extremis. It's under control and my own mutated powers balance it" Tony assures her. He felt sad how easily she think about him like that. They use to be closer than that

"What happened Nat? We used to be close and suddenly all I have is an ego problem and need to watch my own back with you"

"I- I don't know"

Vision moved to closer to Steve and Wanda since Sam and Scott were clearly not going anywhere.

Steve was not giving up. Stubborn as ever. He couldn't get caught. Bucky still needed him. What would happen to him if he wasn't there when he wakes up?

When Vision moves to take him he prepares to fight. He didn't have a shield anymore so he had to use fists. He didn't get even one punch when a jolt of electricity hits him. Sending him down. Tony didn't look impressed at all.

"Wasn't hurting one of my kids enough for you?" he growled. He was angry. The betrayal still stung and protective anger courses through him.

The Rogues were finally taken but the fire still roared like the anger in Tony. The powers were emotionally connected after all.

"Tony?" Phil asks behind him. He was worried. This was taking a lot of energy out of the genius. And even with the extra juice, Tony got from the bites he shouldn't be burning himself out yet.

"Tony it's over you can stop now"

"I don't think I can right now" Tony admits.

"Yeah you can. Breath Tony. Listen to my voice" Phil spoke gently. Moving closer until he could wrap his hands around Tony.

"It's okay. It's over"

Tony did as instructed. Phils embrace helped to ground him. Slowly the fire drew back. The ground didn't look affected at all.

Oh the times when things still made sense...

They looked at each other. Tony's eyes turned from bright red back to those beautiful brown eyes. And Phil couldn't resist. It was now or never. He leaned in...

And they kissed.

It was everything Phil could have wanted. Slow and amazing. Tony kissed right back.

Their moment was broken by Clint whistling.

"About time"

Notes: Thoughts?

We are nearing the end.

I don't know how I feel. I wanted to get this to end soon but not too rushed.

Phil and Tony kissed finally. Clint doesn't know when to shut up xD

U have thrown the Neutrality out of the window and into a ditch.

I don't hate anyone except maybe Wanda. I will just never like her. But the rest just made a lot of bad decisions.
