Stark and the Captain made their way back to the meeting room after having gotten the engine started again. Steve was anxious to get back to Harry and see if he was okay, he knew his son would have tried to help with the intruders. After learning all he had about the boy it was certain that Harry would not have stood by while others got hurt. The pair entered to find Coulson and Fury.
"Where's Harry?" Steve asked.
The two spies exchanged a glance, their expression sombre.
An uneasy feeling settled in Steve's stomach, something was wrong.
"I'm sorry Rogers, he's dead," Fury told him.
"No," Steve whispered, it felt like all the breath had been ripped from him.
"I'm sorry Captain, Harry died protecting me from Loki, I'd be dead without him," Coulson said.
His son was dead. Steve didn't want to believe it, he'd only just found Harry and now he was gone. It hurt, it hurt so much. He took a ragged breath as his grief threatened to overwhelm him. Bucky, Lilly and now Harry, all his loved ones taken from him. All gone. A burning rage filled him, hatred for Loki churning his insides. Steve clenched his fists and left the room, he would stop Loki and get justice for his son. Tony went after him, leaving the two agents in the room.
"Steve!" Tony called.
When Steve didn't stop he rushed to his side.
"Cap, I know your angry, harry was a good kid, but you can't just rush off without even knowing where Loki is," Tony said, making Steve stop walking and turn to face him.
"I need to stop Loki, I have to for Harry," Steve made clear. "This is personal
"We will and I never thought I'd be saying this but we need a plan here and back up," Tony told him. "Loki's been two steps ahead of us the entire time, exploiting our weaknesses and hitting us where he knows it'll have the most impact."
"Where would he go?" Steve asked.
Stark considered this. "Loki's been showboating about his power, boating of how easily he can defeat us. He'd go somewhere he could be seen doing it…" A look of comprehension crossed his face. "That's what he wants. He wants to beat us, he wants to be seen doing it. He wants an audience."
"Right. I caught his act at Stuttgart." Steve nodded.
"Yeah, that was just previews. This is - this is opening night. And Loki, he's a full-tilt diva, right? He wants flowers, he wants parades. He wants a monument built to the skies with his name plastered... Sonofabitch!" Tony exclaimed.
Steve's eyes widened in understanding.
"I'll get my suit," Tony told him, rushing off towards where his iron man armour was kept.
The captain went the opposite direction, searching for Natasha. They would stop Loki and he would face justice for what he'd done.
