Falling, Peter Parker

Saved

Bucky pushes them both from the walkway, Steve jumps into them to deflect their fall. Bucky lands on a platform while Tony and Steve land on the concrete floor besides opening in the wall where snow drifts in from outside, "This isn't gonna change what happened."

"I don't care" Tony says, "He killed my mom."

They trade punches and Tony ends up pinning Steve down. Bucky picks up Steve's shield and leaps down to help. As the two super soldiers fist fight with Tony the shield changes hands between them until Tony manages to zap Steve who is thrown back into the wall.

Bucky struggles to hold Tony at bay as he unleashes an energy beam, then he forces Tony against the opposite wall and grips the glowing core in the chest of the Iron Man Suit.

A blast of energy knocks Bucky down, metal arm completely blown away. Tony zaps him again. Steve rushes him with his shield up and Tony fires right at it.

Zemo is outside, listening to a phone message, "You should've seen his little face. Just try, okay? I'm going to bed. I love you."

T'Challa sneaks up behind him, "I almost killed the wrong man."

"Hardly an innocent one" Zemo smirks.

"This is all you wanted?" T'Challa questions, "To see them rip each other apart."

Zemo deleted the voice message, "My father lived outside the city. I thought we would be safe there. My son was excited. He could see the Iron Man from the car window. I told my wife, Don't worry. They are fighting in the city. We're miles from harm. When the dust cleared and the screaming stopped. It took me two days until I found their bodies. My father still holding my wife and son in his arms. And the Avengers? They went home. I knew I couldn't kill them. More powerful men than me have tried. But, if I could get them to kill each other I'm sorry about your father. He seemed a good man. With a dutiful son."

"Vengeance has consumed you" T'Challa states, "It's consuming them" He blinks ruefully and retracts the claws in his gloves, "I am done letting it consume me. Justice will come soon enough."

Zeno smiles thinly while holding a gun, "Tell that to the dead" He tries to shoot himself but T'Challa grabs him just as he fires.

"The living are not done with you yet" T'Challa says.

Tony and Steve are still fighting in the silo, "You can't beat him hand to hand" Friday says.

"Analyse his fight pattern" Tony demands.

"Scanning!" Iron Man's HUD flashes red as Steve lands blow after blow, "Countermeasures ready."

Tony grabs Steve's shield, "Let's kick his ass" He flings the shield away then zaps Steve backwards, head over heels. Steve rises and Tony blocks his punches then zaps him to his knees, right in front of Bucky who's lying on his back.

"He's my friend" Steve states.

"So was I" Tony punches Steve then throws him back towards the gaps in the wall, "Stay down. Final warning."

Steve struggles to his feet, his face bloody and his gate weary. He raises his fists and stares Tony down, "I can do this all day."

Tony raises his left palm ready to fire. Bucky grabs his leg and Tony spins, kicking him in the face. Steve grabs Tony and lifts him over his head, then throws him down, punches him and bashes his mask off with his shield before striking down hard on the suit's core. Tony looks horrified and glowers fearfully at Steve who pants for breath. Both have blood spattered across their faces.
