The accords had actually worked and the world was excepting everything that had happened. Stark had successfully made the accords safe, Ross was thrown in prison and Stark had succeed in securing pardons for the rogue Avengers including Barnes who he had also offered the BARF technology to, which resulted in Rodgers saying

"It's the least you could do after you tried to kill him" which made Tony's blood boil but he ignored it. Unfortunately the rogues hated Stark so they ignored the fact Tony had done all of that for them and carried on blaming him for everything; such as

"Its your fault I left my family" (it was your choice)

"It's your fault I was put in the raft" (you killed people and didn't listen to me when I tried to help you by keeping you in the compound)

"It's your fault the Avengers were torn apart" (I was trying to help).

So all the Avengers signed the accords. Scott, however, went home to his daughter. So the Avengers consisted of Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Clint, Sam, Wanda, Rhodes and Tony. Vision didn't want to harm others after the airport bacause he blamed himself for Rhodes' incident (while Tony blamed himself), instead he stayed at the compound and rekindled his relationship with Wanda.

After the so called 'civil' war Bruce and Thor came back from their space adventure and sided with the rogues, agreeing that Tony was at fault. Bruce agreed because he had a rough history with Ross and Thor thought if ALL the Avengers were against Tony then he had to be wrong. Everything had been going smoothly, the Avengers basically ignoring Tony outside of fights and Tony staying in his workshop, hiding from the glares and sneers of his so called 'team'. Until an incident snapped the small thread of tolerance they had for Tony.

It had been a routine fight, the UN had asked them to take care of more Doom bots that Doctor Doom had unleashed upon Manhattan, they had all geared up had headed there. So there really should be no reason for the taught silence that was suffocating the debrief room, except their was. Tony had disobeyed orders, causing members of his team to get hurt. Rogers was levelling him with the famous 'Captain America is disappointed by you' expression, and Fury had been rotating between glaring at him and ignoring him, even Coulson (who was alive. Surprise, surprise) was sitting in silence. His cold gaze and emotionless face were putting Tony on edge more then anything the others could throw at him, he was used too their hatred and disappointed stares, but with Coulson it really told him how much he had fucked up.

In his defence he wasn't really in a good postion to even be fighting, not that they would listen and let not fight. The week before he had lost all his friends. Both Pepper and Happy resigned saying it was too stressful and that Tony had changed and wasn't the man they once knew (he had to agree with them). Then a day later he got a phone call from Colonel Rhodes (not Rhodey. He didn't deserve to call him that) saying that after everything they had been through together this was too much and Rhodes couldn't take it any more. The longer the conversation went, on the more Tonys heart shattered. A decade old friendship finally broke when Rhodes said, "This is your fault. All of it. It's your fault I will never walk again" and he hung up leaving Tony sobbing to himself as he looked at the blue prints for Rhodes' leg braces. All that Tony had left was Friday. It was almost to much to handle so he did what he did best. He ignored his own feelings and built stuff.

Realising he had zoned out, Tony only caught the last part of Fury's debrief, "Lastly there was a total of $100k of damage thanks to one idiot" Fury glared at Tony, "Captain is there anything you would like to add?" Steve nodded and stood up facing his team,

"Because of the recklessness of one of our members Bucky and Wanda are out of commission for three weeks and Clint and Nat' are benched for a week this is the third time that Ironman has ignored direct orders Last week we gave him a warning and this is the last straw. Ironman is off the team until further notice" there were a few nods in the room, agreeing with Rodgers. Tony just smiled sadly.

"Is something funny, Stark?" Demanded Fury with a hard voice, Tony looked around the room and was met with stony eyes and glares. Silence filled the room. "We were never a team" Tony said before he stood up and left the room.
