Avengers headquarters
It had been a couple days and no one at the headquarters could settle or rest. "This should be working." Bucky was shouting, "the tracker I put on her should pick up her signal."
"Well obviously genius, she's underground somewhere. Somewhere it won't pick up transmission." Tony practically snapped at him. He hadn't slept since Felicity had been taken. It was clear that he was blaming himself.
"Come on Tony" Natasha intervened, it had been like this since she went. They hadn't heard anything. Nothing changed within stark industries, nothing got hacked, zilch. It was unnerving.
"Guys, I think you want to watch this." Sam suddenly said, turning the volume up on the tv. Everyone was now looking at the tv. It was Felicity.
"FRIDAY, trace the signal." Tony said, sitting down on a chair.
"Right away sir"
She looked terrible, her eyes were dark like she hadn't slept. She had make up on and it was clear it was covering marks and bruises. She was sitting on a chair holding something and she soon started speaking, "today is a new day. So listen carefully...this is how it's going to be. I, Felicity stark, have been in talks with Osborn industries and believe that since the attack by Thanos and the previous attacks beforehand, Tony Stark is out. The Avengers are no more." Bucky watched as Felicity paused, it was clear she was not happy with what she was saying. He could hear someone mumbling something to her which made her continue the speech. "Norman Osborn is leading a new peacekeeping task and as far as I am concerned, this is good news for you all."
"Bucky, are you able to get hold of her tracker location yet?" Pepper asked, as they all looked at the screens.
Bucky shook his head, "I'm not getting anything."
Everyone appeared to be in shock, he quickly put his attention back onto the screen. Felicity was now talking without the cards "Tony, people will get hurt if you do not comply. There is no MAY about it. Our kids, bambinos, UNDEROOS, however you want to say it, they are in danger."
"Is it me or is she emphasizing the words may and underoo?" Steve said, stepping towards the screen.
Bucky watched as Tony got out his phone and started calling someone, he groaned in frustration as it went to answer phone. "FRIDAY send out the iron legion to get peter and may and bring them here.
"Right away sir," FRIDAY responded.
"Tonight, I am going to access the iron legion and they will be working alongside peacekeeping task force."
After that comment, the broadcast stopped and went black.
"I know how to find her," Tony said
Felicity
Felicity had no idea where she was. She had been forced to give that speech, she had been beaten and tortured for the last day. The previous day she was locked in a cell, solitary confinement for twenty four hours. The next day she was beaten every two hours. She was exhausted.
"You will make a great asset to this task force," norman Osborn told her, "we could get you into one of those suits, the iron patriot." He paused for a moment, resting his hands on her shoulder, "with hydra so happy to please and help me, they would be eager to get their hands on you. I've seen your family has had its own hands on experience with one of their weapons."
Felicity grimaced at his touch, she hated herself. She had declared to the world that she had turned her back on her brother, there was no way Stark industries would be able to survive this. She hoped that Tony and everyone had seen the broadcast and understood that peter and may were in danger. He was after them all.
"And what if I refuse to help in any way?" Felicity asked, trying to move herself out of Norman's grasp.
With that comment he chuckled, he turned her around and pinned her against the wall. "Then you will receive the same fate as the others, but first I'm starting with Peter Parker, little spidey. But now you need to rest, otherwise how else am I going to get those suits."
Felicity was about to try and free from his grasp, but the moment she moved he head butted her, causing her head to go backwards into the wall. Making everything go black.
Avengers headquarters
Everyone was waiting for something to happen, a sign that Felicity was trying to access the system. That afternoon they had all come up with a plan. Tony had successfully managed to get to May and Peter before anything bad happened, but only just. He had sent extra bods in case there was a fight and as predicted a few seconds later after arriving, hydra agents flooded the flat.
"So, you really think this will work?" Tony asked Hank, arms crossed and his hand resting on his chin.
"It has to work, it's not like we have any other option." Hank responded, as he watched Hope and Scott shrink down to ant size and getting into one of the iron legion suits.
Tony looked around the room, it was now just him and Hank. Everyone else was waiting in the twin jet, pepper was upstairs trying to deal with the chaos of stark industries. It was crashing and burning.
He started thinking back to his vision all those years ago, maybe it wasn't Thanos that would cause him to watch his friends die around him after all
