It was Dec 20th and Tony was a nervous mess. He was in his room, pacing in his tux. The wedding was gonna be on the top of the tower. A small, private wedding with the avengers and few other family friends. This was it. He was finally getting married. He was terrified. Will be be a good husband? She was getting ready with a small team of make up and hair people. He wondered if she was just as nervous. He suddenly felt like he was about to have an anxiety attack. He needed air. He quickly made his way downstairs and outside, breathing in the cold December air. Calming his nerves. He suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, getting it out, looking, he smiled seeing it was Kim. Her message. "I just wanted to say I love you so much. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I feel blessed for you to have chosen me to settle down with. I love you and I'll see you soon." He was so lost in the message he had no idea of the people behind him, quickly putting a bag over his head. He struggled but a strong fist collided with his head. All he could think was oh god..not today... before everything went black.
Kim was getting scared. He hadn't replied to her text and he was running late for his own wedding. She tried not to cry, keeping calm but right now he was going on a half hour late. "You don't think he got cold feet do you?" Pepper went to her. "Of corse not. He loves you. I've never seen him so happy." Kim swallowed down her tears, speaking. '"ARVIS, where is he?" Before he could answer her phone rang. She picked it up quickly, without looking at the caller ID. "Tony!" "Ahh there is the lovely wife. Nope, he is a little tied up." She thought she felt her face pale. "Who is this?"
Tony was in the middle of a very old and abandoned warehouse. His hands held above his head by a rusty chain. His feet not even able to feel the ground. A few pained breaths escaped him. His shoulders were killing him. He knew one was dislocated and his eye was swelling from the punch he received. The man, who looked well into his 50's with few younger goons on the side, was speaking on the phone with Kim. Tony watched in horror, swallowing thickly. "Just hang up Kim!" Suddenly there was a shock to his side. He cried out in pain as the cattle prod made contact with his back. The older man chuckled into the phone. "I am an...old friend of Howards. But since he is dead, I will get my payment out of his worthless son. Don't worry, I will return him. I am unsure what condition." He hung up, throwing the phone to the side, walking to Tony. "Me and your father used to do business" Tony glared best he could thru his black eye, ignoring the pain of his shoulders. "Join the fucking club." The old man smiled before walking over to the side and grabbing a bat. "Smart mouth on you. That will get you in trouble." The man glared before bringing the bat to his ribs and stomach in one hard wing. Tony cried out from the surprise (mostly) but he swore he felt a rib break. This man wasn't holding anything back.
The man huffed before using the bat to force Tony to look at him. Tony swallowed, feeling the smooth, cold metal under his chin. "I did business with him and YOU as well but you were so drunk I doubt you remember me. But since I have yet to receive any reimbursement for the weapons you chose to stop making, I waited. I waited for the perfect time to capture you, what a perfect day then your wedding day." He chuckled lowly, bringing the bat up again, about to swing. With a growl, the man swung, making a sickening crunch as another rib broke. Tony hissed in pain, praying to whatever God there was he lived thru this. He closed his eyes and thought of his family.
Kim was a worried mess. Crying into Peppers shoulder. Pepper had her arms wrapped around her, being careful of the veil. She looked beautiful. Jason/Clint saw this from afar. He would get the news out of Gage once he was done calming Quinn down. She had saw this while she was eating. Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder. He turned, seeing his brother, dressed up to the nines. He took him to the side where Kim wouldn't see them talk, taking his mask off. "Whats going on?" Gage frowned. "Tony got taken. Someone has him, something about wanting payment from his dad. God knows if he's even alive right now." Clint sighed,cursing at himself. "I'll go. You stay here, watch over them." " You can't go alone." He sighed. "I don't want to risk anyone knowing I'm here. I'm going. Watch over them in-case someone tries something here." Gage groaned, defeated. "Fine. But you better come back alive." Clint smirked weakly. "Of cose" He went into the elevator, going down the armory. It was fairly small but had all there weapons. He grabbed his bows and arrows and winter coat for this. Damn New York winter "JARVIS, start tracking Tony, put it into the Hummer." "Yes sir" He made his way out to the garage. He had a billionaire to save.
Tony was semi conscious as the man beat him. Apparently he doesn't want money any more, just revenge and beating the billionaire to death seemed a good revenge suddenly there was an electric shock going thru him, jerking him awake, making his shoulder flame up with pain. He cried out. "Ahh!.." The man chuckled lowly, not caring of the blood that was on his bat,a small pool below tony from his injuries. "Sorry, we can't have you sleeping. What fun would that be?" The man was about to bring another blow to his side when suddenly there was a small whoosh by Tony's ear and an arrow sticking out of the mans head, right between the eyes. The man fell over, dead. Tony couldn't help the relived laugh at the realization. "Oh hahaha Yes! Thanks Bird brain!" There was a few more wooshes and the rest of the goonies were done and dead on the floor with arrows sticking out of there heads.
He chuckled lowly, feeling his nose bleeding and lip split, it hut to laugh but it felt so damn good when he saw Clint come around him, looking him over. "I hope your not making this a habit." Tony chuckled before wincing. "Not exactly." Clint shook his head, putting his bow over his shoulders and back, going to let Tony down with the crank to the side. "I'll gonna let you down." He pulled on the crank, letting it lower slowly. Once it was to the point where Tony was kneeling, he went over, starting to take the chain off Tony's hands. Tony winced. "Ahh careful...I'm pretty sure my right shoulder is dislocated." Clint nodded, being careful as he lowered Tony's arms. Just as he said, his right one was out of it's socket,looking off and painful. Clint sighed, taking a hold of the shoulder, putting it into position. "Ok. This is gonna hurt. A lot." Tony nodded. "I know. Just do it." Clint held Tony steady as he quickly pushed the shoulder back into place. Tony cried out. "Ahh shit!...damn!.." Clint smirked weakly, moving back. "Said it would hurt." "I know..just help me up...get me to my damn wedding." Clint nodded, helping him up. He felt Tony's ribs thru his shirt. "You have at least three broken ribs, maybe we should go to the-" "Nope. Wedding. I know I have a very worried wife to see."
Once to the large hummer, Clint got the medical kit, opening it up as Tony sat in the passenger seat. "Lets at least clean you up. I don't think it'll look good for pictures to have a bloody nose." Tony rolled his eyes. "Nope. It wouldn't. Wouldn't be the first." Clint started to clean the blood off him, inspecting for anything else out of place. He just felt this awful need to hold him close, protect him, make sure he was alive and safe. Tony saw the look in Clint's eyes "Hey, I'm fine..stop worrying." Clint gave him a look, throwing some bloodied cloth to the ground. "Stop making this a habit" Tony let a small laugh out. "Lets just get home." Clint nodded, once Tony's face was cleaned up best he could he got in the drivers seat, starting it up, driving to Stark tower.
During there ride there Tony called gage. Letting them know he was banged up but overall fine and wanted Kim to be ready to walk down the aisle when he got there. Clint parked in the garage, going around, helping tony out. "You really should go to a hospital." "You really should shut up about it." Clint gave him a glare but continued to help him up to the top of the tower. Clint made sure to put his mask back on before they got there. There, Kim was waiting, she saw Tony with Jason/Clint, walking over as fast as she could at 8 months pregnant. She sniffled. "Tony...Thank God..." She wrapped her arms around him, he winced, trying to hug her back. She pulled back. "Oh I'm so sorry..." Tony smiled. "No, don't be. Just a bad shoulder. How about we go get married." She smiled, tears still falling. " You look like a mess." He smiled, starting to lead her to the makeshift aisle of flowers and a red carpet where the priest waited. Thank God the priest waited. "Don't you think it'll be a good wedding picture?" She cried/laughed, so relived he was alright, kissing his cheek as he started to lead the way up the aisle.
He s aw Katie was just as relived to see he was ok, wiping tears away, Steve behind her, holding her close. He nodded to Rhody in greeting. Pepper waved with a proud, relived smile. Once he got to the priest, the priest smiled. "At least you didn't get cold feet." Some people chuckled, Tony included. "Oh never preacher man." The priest smiled, starting.
It finally got to the best part. "Tony, Do you Take Kim to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? For richer or poorer? For better or worse? In sickness and in health? For as long as you both shall live?" Tony smiled softly, holding both of Kims hand, placing her wedding ring on her finger. "I do." The priest smiled. "Kim, do you take Tony to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? For richer or poorer? For better or worse? In sickness and in health? For as long as you both shall live?" Kim smiled, tears going down her face, placing the ring on his finger. "I do." The priest closed his bible. "Then by the power vested in me and the state of New York, you may kiss the bride." Tony smiled, holding both sides of Kims face as he kissed her, gently. Kim smiled into it. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She felt him wince, she bit her lip, moving them. He smiled, kissing her head. "Its ok.." She nodded before turning, both of them facing there family and friends. "I am proud to introduce Mr. And ." Tony held Her hand with a proud smile, leading her down the aisl to there table
They sat for a while, Kim looking over Tony worriedly. He smiled. "I'm fine.." "You look like a mess." Tony smiled softly, holding her hands. "But think of the wedding pictures. It'll look like I've gone thru hell to be with you. And I would. I would go thru any kind of hell just to be with you." She smiled. "You always know what to say." He chuckled before wincing. Suddenly a familiar song came on. He smiled, standing, holding his hand out. "May I have this first dance with my wife?" She smiled, taking his hand, letting him help her up, leading her to the dance floor. Once out there, he held her close, feeling her baby belly against him. He smiled softly. "This was the first song we ever danced to.." She smiled,kissing him softly.
Jason/Clint watched them from a distance, arms crossed. He tried to ignore the ache he felt watching them. She should be he's. He saw a few other couples starting to dance. Along with Gage and Quinn. He was holding her as they danced. It was a adorable and the atmosphere was so lovey dovey, he had to go to the gym. Ignoring the tears in his eyes, he quickly made his way to the elevator going to the gym.
They did the few traditions. Kiim threw the bouquet, Katie caught it. Tony took off the garder belt and had to fight the urge not to just start kissing up her legs and ravage her. It was the best day of his life, even with the kidnapping. When he stood, Kim noticed he was a bit wobbly. "Honey...maybe you should sit down." Tony nodded. He could feel the weakness creeping up. She sat with him with a worried frown. "What exactly happened?" He sighed. "They beta on me mostly. Dislocated shoulder and few broken ribs. Nothing too serious." He saw the worried look on her face, reaching out to hold both her hands. "I'm fine angel. I'll be fine. Lets just focus on the wedding and the baby whom were gonna meet sometime soon." She smiled, holding both his hands to her belly. "I can't wait." He smiled, feeling a kick then another. "Me neither."
