A/N Sorry for the delay and the short chapter, my oldest daughter has been in hospital.
Tony was beyond furious, how dare they treat him like this, putting him in a cage he was not an animal or a criminal! He was a Hero he had saved them all from the Doom Bots and this is how they repaid him. Yowling loudly he threw himself at the small door on the side of the cage but it did not move there was no way he was going to stay in that cage, to many bad memories of being held as a prisoner in Afghanistan were surfacing and added to that he was still mentally recovering from the swimming pool incident.
It was all too much in such a short space of time, panic over took him and he could think of nothing but escaping, he continued to throw himself against the door heedless of the pain in his side and paw, there would be no stopping until he was free. Just as he was beginning to think it was hopeless the latch on the cage door finally gave way, Tony nudged the door open and jumped out he still did not feel safe he needed to hide away, he could not risk them locking him in that horrid cage again he was so upset to think Phil and the other Avengers could do that to him. He needed to get to his workshop it was where he felt safest.
Tony knew that he would not be able to get to his workshop the usual ways but a little bird had recently let slip of an alternative way to move around the tower. Making his way to the top of the bookshelf he managed work his way under the loosened air vent and up into the ceiling. In no time at all he was dropping down onto the ratty sofa in his workshop. He had really missed being here with his just Jarvis and his bots, he needed to find a way to communicate with everyone especially since Thor was still out looking for Loki and no one knew how long it would take to find him.
I'm a genius I should be able to solve any problem even with a cat sized brain he thought.
Finally all the mission reports were finished, now all he had to do was hand them off to Fury and he could get back to the tower to take care of Tony. He was more upset than angry with Tony he could understand that he had wanted to help but Tony needed to be made to realise how much more dangerous it was for him now and how easily he could have been hurt worse than he was or even killed. Dropping off the reports Phil headed down to the garage just as he got behind the wheel his phone rang, looking at it he saw that the caller was Steve Rogers, with a sense of foreboding he answered the call.
"Phil I'm really sorry but Tony has disappeared, we shut him in the cat crate but when we came back from lunch he was gone, we do not know how he managed to get it open. I think he may have also pulled some of his stitches as there was some blood on the door".
Phil took a deep breath and wondered what Fury would do to him if he were to taser an American Icon.
