(A/N) Sorry it's so late when this is being published I went to see a movie then I realised I hadn't actually started this chapter yet. Luckily it went by fairly quickly. Also I'm going to do the same as last week and take the weekend off, so I'll see you on Monday with a new chapter.

If the outside of the mansion was impressive the inside was spectacular. Glossy tiles laid out on the floor reflected the many lights of the chandelier above it giving them a look like stars trapped on the ground. Pieces of art hung on the wall that all looked old and very expensive and somehow clashed with the room and fit well in with it. Overall the appearance was enough to give someone a headache.

"Remind me to apologize to Tony." Clint muttered as they entered.

"Why?" Bruce asked him.

"I told him he had the largest ego in the world. Apparently I was wrong." The team nodded in agreement. Though Tony thought very highly of himself he never went to this level to show it off. "Look at this place it's like a Bond villain's summer home."

"I don't think of myself as a villain." Hammer announced walking into the room. "I like to think of myself as an opportunist. Besides I wasn't even the one to make the giant robots that tried to kill everyone."

"You hired the man that did." Steve pointed out. "That makes you a criminal in my book."

Hammer seemed to admire Steve and watched him carefully. "Look at you the best weapon of them all. America's greatest weapon back from the ice." He went over to Steve and put a elbow on his shoulder like they were best friends. "Tell me when you woke up from being frozen in ice for a couple of decades how badly did you need to go to the bathroom?"

Steve swatted Hammers arm away. "Enough of this. You're coming with us, and you are going to tell us everything we need to know starting with where to find Daniel Turning." He grabbed Hammer by the arm and went to the door which slammed shut in his face. The sound of multiple locks being activated as well as metal bars sliding over the windows made the house more like a bunker.

"Come on Grandpa don't be a spoil sport. Besides I don't even know where the kid is at. He is in the hands of a involved third party." The Avengers tried to ask him more but he just kept talking. " Hey, remember that movie I was watching? Well it's getting to the best part and I know you are going to love it." Steve's grip tightened around Justins arm making him yelp in pain. "Hey now Uncle Sam. Remember who has all the cards right now."

Steve let him go roughly knowing that Hammer was not going to do anything he didn't want to do. He hated himself for thinking it but Tony wasn't nearly as annoying as he had thought.

"Alright so I got the popcorn." Hammer announced leading them into the room he came out of. "I'm a weapons guy so I know how it makes you feel better you can keep your weapon pointed at me. I don't normally allow that but for you guys I'll make an exception."

"Yeah well I wasn't asking." Hawkeye said keeping his arrow ready.

They were led into a dark room with a large screen. The video being projected was low quality most likely from a phone but it was clear what it was. A wormhole that loomed over Stark Tower was the object that filled the screen as Chitauri fell from the sky. The aliens were all dying which meant that the Avengers knew what would come next.

"This is my favorite part." Hammer said enthusiastically. Taking a seat in one of the lounge chairs casually like he had no idea that two master assassins were currently aiming at him with intent to kill.

On the screen a small object fell from the wormhole and was zoomed on just enough so it was clear who was falling. It was the moment after Tony had given his life to save Manhattan from a nuclear attack. Now he was freefalling unable to stop himself. The team stood in stunned silence as the Hulk came from nowhere and caught him. Hammer paused the video.

"It's amazing what you can find on the internet these days." He caught a glimpse of the disapproving glares from the Avengers. "Okay so you aren't fans of the classics. I can see that, and I totally agree. I am a man of the future after all. Let's try something new."

The screen changed to what appeared to be security footage. It was clearly the broken remains of Tony's living room they had all been there long enough to know it offhand, which was easy because of the two Loki shaped craters in the middle of the floor. But nothing prepared them for seeing Tony lying unconscious. The lower half of his body was hidden from the body but they could see enough. He was paler than they had ever seen him and a small pool of blood laid around his head from a wound he most likely got when he passed out. A satellite phone lay just beyond his grasp.

"Tony!" Bruce called as if his friend would hear him.

Natasha wasted no time. She went in front of Hammer punched him once in the face to startle him before grabbing him by the collar, pulling him up, and slamming him into a wall. "What did you do?"

"Robots the size of yeast covering the bullet." He explained with a smile that looked even more crazed since blood was dripping from his bruised, if not broken, nose. "I know it's hard to believe but I can prove it." Holding up a small remote he pressed a button once.

On the screen Tony cried out in becoming conscious again but the pain had him falling back under quickly. A skillfully shot arrow took the controller from Hammers hand and planted it into the wall. Sparks flew out of it like fireworks.

Hammer shook the pain of having the controller ripped from him out of his hand. "Nice shot!" He congratulated Hawkeye proudly. "I mean it was redundant since I have other controllers, but still good try."

Natasha pulled him away from the wall and pushed him against it roughly. "What do you want?"

Justin coughed in pain. "For you never to do that again. Remember Red I can still kill that arrogant son of a bitch even without my controller. With that in mind I suggest you let go of me."

The Black Widow stared at him coldly before letting go while whispering something in Russian that made Clint look slightly terrified.

"Good." Hammer dusted off his suit proudly knowing he had them right where he wanted them. "Now I've set what I call the 'In-Laws' to give your favorite billionaire a shock every five minutes. So you can either spend the time trying to catch me or go and save him from unimaginable waves of agony. Looking a little green there ."

"Why are you doing this?" Bruce asked anger rich in his voice.

Hammer just rolled his eyes. "For a guy who turns into a giant green dude whenever he gets slightly annoyed you sure are boring. You know what for the stereotypical question I'm sorting the time to three minutes now. How long until his heart goes out do you think?"

The team didn't answer instead they just left knowing full well they would break down any door standing in their way. They didn't have time to play a game with a bored billionaire while they had a dying one across the country. Hammer watched as they left from his front door; waving at the quinjet as it took off.
