As soon as Tony and Bucky had lost you, Tony ordered the others to lock down the venue, don't let anyone leave.

They had no idea yet that it was too late.

Once the doors were shut and no one could leave, all the concert go-ers were ushered back into the main hall.

Tony then had Friday do a full sweep of the building.

No one was around as everyone that was still there had already gathered together.

The avengers converged backstage to discuss what to do next.

"So what actually happened?" Steve asked.

"Yeah I thought you guys were with her" Sam said.

"We were-" Tony started.

"She passed out" Bucky interrupted. "Just as the lights went out, she fell to the floor. When they came back on, she wasn't there."

"I'm assuming you didn't see who did it?" Nat assumed.

The guys shook their heads.

"Do you know why she passed out?" Clint wondered.

"I don't know" Bucky admitted. "She was really stressed so maybe-"

"No" Tony objected. "She doesn't just pass out from stress. Trust me, I know her. Something must have happened."

They all stood in silence as they thought about it.

"The water" Bucky suddenly remembered. "She said it tasted off."

"It was just a water bottle from the shop, no one touched it except you, her, and the cashier guy."

"Well then maybe he had something to do with it" Steve suggested.

There was another pause.

"Okay, here's what we're gonna do" Tony took control. "We're gonna get security camera footage of the shop from before the show until after. I want someone to find out who was working the shop. I need people to go investigate the light situation, what happened to them. Someone look at security footage from around the building to see if that reveals anything. Everyone else, crowd control, see if anyone knows anything. Let me know if you find anything."

Everyone nodded and split up to do different jobs.

Bucky and Tony paired up to get the footage of the shop. They watched it, intently searching for suspicious activity.

Luckily, they found something.

They were watching around the time when Bucky was buying the bottle.

The cashier went to hand him one, but then Bucky turned to talk to Tony. When neither of them were looking, he switched out the bottle for one underneath the counter.

"Son of a bitch" Tony muttered. He put on a pair of glasses that had his AI installed. "Friday, facial recognition of the guy behind the counter."

"Jeff Miller. Born 1966. Criminal record. Two years in prison for embezzlement. Current residence is *address*."

"C'mon let's go" Tony said to Bucky, and they went to find the others.
