I Am Iron-Man

Chapter 49

Natasha Romanov's POV

Of course Stark would be the one who would reveal the name of Wanda's location and the address of the location; his ego would cause to brag about those kinds of things to people. Thankfully, Steve happened to be at the right place and time to hear him brag about it. Now, I'm one step closer to getting my best friend back.

Steve told me that once we helped Wanda break out of the prison that Stark put her into, he'll ask her to help him be reinstated as the leader of the Avengers and keep Stark under control. Once we succeeded in that, maybe Wanda could help me bring my best friend back to me.

Knowing Clint for as long as I did, he would've joined Captain America's side, the right side, during the media-named "Avengers: Civil War" if it wasn't for Stark corrupting him in someway. Clint would never disobey a call for battle from Captain America and he would never refused my offer to come to Wakanda if it wasn't for Stark.

As a matter of fact, Stark always had an influence over Clint since Clint was the first person to argue against my evaluation report on Stark. I didn't understand why he would defend him, but then he told me that they were brothers and that Tony didn't appreciate this report on him and asked me to remove it from Tony's SHIELD file. I stand by that report and still do, so I didn't bother to change anything about it.

Even though I feel bad for dumping all of the SHIELD information onto the internet, it was the right thing to do in the end. HYDRA had to be stopped and it was the best thing that we could do. Clint, of all people, should've understood that.

After the Ultron incident happened, Clint seemed to understand the influence that Stark had on him and broke free from that when he accepted Wanda onto the team, despite Stark's objections, and realized how accurate my report was, but once again, Stark managed to work his way back to Clint and took him away from me.

Once Wanda helps keep Stark under control, then I can finally help my best friend break free from the corruption that Stark put him under.

First, we just need a plan to find a way into the prison that Wanda has been put in and escape without anyone noticing. It would be hard to do with just Steve and me, but it's not impossible.

"Natasha, now that we know where Wanda is being held captive, what should we do now?", Steve asked.

"Well, we don't much about this place, so we don't know how guarded it is. Maybe it's best if we follow a person who goes to that place regularly. It could give us a better idea on the security of the place"

"That could work, but as far as we know, there's no-one who travels to that prison"

"Well, you managed to find out where Wanda was being held captive from Tony when he was just having a conversation, maybe you could find someone else having another conversation about the prison"

"Ok, we could try that"

Tony Stark's POV

"Ok. Ethan and Josh, are you sure that you two want to do this?"

"Of course, after all of the crap that Rogers puts us all through on a daily basis, the least that I can do is make him realize that the world doesn't revolve around him", Ethan stated.

"Besides, I'm tired of coming home everyday and hear Ethan complaining about the Rogues getting on his nerves", Josh stated.

"Well, it's true and you know it!"

"I know, but that doesn't mean that I hear about it every single day of my life!"

"Guys, can we please focus on the main issue here?"

"Right, sorry!"

"Thank you. Anyways, Rogers and Romanov should be walking near the training rooms any minute now, so I want you two to be in one of them and have a conversation about the school, but make it sound like it's a prison"

"I can do that"

"I can definitely do that"

"And Josh, when you mention that you'll visit the "prison" this afternoon, I'm 100% certain that they'll follow you, but pretend that you don't notice them and continue to let them follow you"

"Got it"

"Of course they'll follow you. They can't accept that they might be wrong for once, so they want to manipulate and brainwash people and force them to bow to their demands"

"Ethan, calm down. Please, don't start this right now"

"I'm not wrong though"

"Guys... the plan?", I said, trying to gain back control of the situation.

"Right, let's do this, Ethan"

"Yeah, the sooner the better"

"Yes, the sooner I can get a break from Ethan's constant complaining the better"

"Alright, then. Friday, what's the update?"

"Rogers and Romanov are walking towards the training rooms right now"

"Ok, you should go into one of the training rooms right now"

"Ok, come on, Ethan"

"Finally! It's showtime!". I rolled my eyes at Ethan, Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring Ethan into this plan, but I already involved Jessica into the first phase and I think that they would've been suspicious if I had involved her a second time. Oh well, it's kind of too late to change anything about it now.

Never-mind, I'm sure that it'll be fine. Ethan may hate the Rogues with a burning passion, but that doesn't mean that he'll go on a random murder rage on them unless he's provoked. Besides, Josh will keep his little brother in check and tell him to keep going along with the plan, so it'll be fine.
