A/n: He was sent to kill him, to destroy him for good, and make sure there was nothing left of him. The world could care less, but to others, he was worth protecting… But was he to be alright?

Metallic Heart 13

Fallen

Many people believed Tony Stark not to have a heart. Slowly, he himself began to believe it when he found himself pushing away the other Avengers...just as his father did to him. But is there one man out there that can change his mind? FrosIron.

"Agh, Stark come on, time to get up." Loki murmured as he sat up. He looked at the male that was sleeping next to him soundly. He didn't want to wake him really, but he knew that at some point in the day they had to get up and face the others. As he knew, his brother was about the only one to actually accept this. Tony had been chewed out for an hour or so the night before by the others in the team, Rogers included in that. Apparently the Banner person had 'hulk'd out' as Tony had put it and that had stopped the meeting. The rest had gone to keep Hulk from destroying a city and he had just come to bed.

"I dun wanna..." Tony said in a childish manner and pouted some, looking up at Loki. Loki sighed before he kissed him and murmured to him what would happen if he didn't get up. Tony sighed. "It was worth a try." He mumbled and got up, but then turned and snatched another kiss from Loki before heading off to the shower. As payback, Loki used some magic to make the other stop moving. He smirked and walked over to Tony, now frozen. "Loki...what did you do?"

"Well...we don't have to leave for a while yet..." A light shined in Loki's eyes as he trailed his cold fingers down Tony's chest slowly. "And, you seem to want to play Stark." Loki had a mischievous glint in his eyes. He smiled and kissed the others neck slowly, purring some. "I used a spell on you as well, it won't let you move...but...I suppose..." He picked the other up and carried him into the shower. Tony not able to move huffed in annoyance. "I'll wash you up..." He purred. Tony had a feeling, that he would be sore or the rest of the day. Great way to start the day.

"Avengers! Get ready!" Rogers yelled over the roar of a loud machine. Tony knew who it was; it was an enemy that had almost killed him before. He knew all of his weaknesses and that was not a good thing for him at all. Maybe the worst part was the fact that he was wearing a suit much like Iron Man but it was made from pure adamantium. Tony took a deep breath and let the face mask of his suit fall in place, and he got ready to attack.

Maybe it was that Tony was the prime target, or the fact that he was listening to the battle plan for one, but whatever the reason he was grabbed by the metal hand that was in the process of crushing his lungs. He coughed and cursed as the power in his suit was also being drained. This was just one bad thing after another. The person noticed the other Avengers were about to attack, and made a quick escape, taking to the sky as he continued to crush the metal man. Tony couldn't breathe, and that was second worse to his arc reactor slowly dying out.

It happened to fast for the rest of the Avengers to notice what had happened until Tony was gone. They all got ready to fight, but now the plan of Thor striking the man with lightening was out since Tony was in his hand. They had to do something though, before he was crushed. The matter still remained why Tony was the prime target and where that person had gotten the armor. That was for later, once they caught the person and made sure Tony was alright. If worse came to worse about it…they would have to go for their emergency backup plan…

"Heh, this was easier than I thought it would be Stark. You claim to be strong, but once you are caught in a web, you're weaker than anyone else." The person laughed. Tony could barely make out the words by now, eyes glazed over and body limp. He was at about seven percent power at the moment and couldn't breathe. "Seems like I will be getting paid extra for dropping you into an ocean to drown you Iron Man!" He laughed loudly then looked right at Tony. "That's right, people want you gone Stark, dead, and to never live again and I was paid to be the one to crush you into nothing…you ruined my life, and I tried to do the same…but you still got away with being alright…well now you won't…" He dropped him then, and watched while licking his lips as the Iron Man fell into the icy cold waters below.

Tony fell limp, falling into the water headfirst. His eyes closed, he wanted to scream, but no sounds dare come from his mouth. The power was down to two percent power, and the backup power wasn't working. He swore he was going into cardiac arrest as he started to hit a deep depth in the water. He had to wonder something as well, would anyone know where to find him…or was this the end for Iron Man and Tony Stark?

Rogers as well as the rest of the Avengers had a sense of dread as they found the person they had been after. Tony was nowhere to be seen, and the person was laughing. Upon standing over the ocean the person watched them. He finally spoke after a long moment that they all had been in silence. "You Avengers are slow; the battle plan was weak as well." He laughed and looked over his shoulder for a moment. "You just lost one member as well; I'm telling you now you will never find him. Good luck now, while I go get paid!" He laughed then smirked as he lifted the mask. "Oh, and he's probably dead by now anyways, it would be nothing but a waist to find him."

"Wait!" Rogers snapped and growled, Thor ready to slam his hammer into the other. "You were paid to kill him?" He hissed and the man laughed but nodded.

"Yes, now good day Avengers." He took off without another word.

"Natasha, Clint, and I shall go after him. Thor, I want you to get your brother who can probably find him. Hurry! We don't have much time!"
