What If Tony Stark Was The Villain

Part 6 - Just The Beginning

"Final warning, Sam. Go" Tony says.

"I'm saying the same, get out of here" Sam takes a step closer.

"Sam, leave" Bucky says, too.

"I'm not leaving you with him" he replies through his teeth.

"You don't have to get hurt because of me" Bucky tries to convince him.

"I told you, I'm not leaving!" Sam insists.

"That's enough" Tony jumps in the conversation, tired of the two of them, and blasts Sam away with his repulsors.

"Ouch" Sam groans, feeling some pain from the sudden hit against the wall behind him.

All that intensity left him dizzy and needing some time to recover. Bucky yells and runs towards Tony, attacking him with his metal fist. Tony gives him some time to get started with his own anger and allows him to hit his suit a few times.

"You can do better than that" Tony teases him.

"Don't make me hurt you, Tony, I really don't want to" Bucky says aggressively as he hits the suit again and again.

"You've hurt me already" Tony replies seriously and grabs Bucky's metal fist in the air.

They stare at each other for a couple of seconds, with Bucky trying to overpower Iron Man's fist and break free.

"Nice arm, can't wait to destroy it just like the last one" Tony tilts his head and uses more strength to roll Bucky's arm and make him fall on the floor.

Bucky stares up in terror as Tony gets ready to attack. Even through the helmet, he can tell Tony's staring down in full anger.

"I'll give you the privilege you never gave my parents. Any last words?" Tony asks.

"Don't do this, Tony" Bucky tries to get up but he gets hit by a slight blast from Tony.

"Poor choice of last words" Tony mocks him.

"It's because they weren't his last words, a*shole" Sam joins the fight and starts shooting at Iron Man, managing to distract him from attacking Bucky.

"You just signed your death wish, pal" Tony angrily turns to Sam and flies towards him.

He quickly reaches Sam and punches him with all his strength. Sam hits against a wall again, leaving his body's mark behind. Then he regains his strength and uses his own wings to push Iron Man back, flying quickly and destroying another wall in the apartment.

"Your little wings have nothing against me" Tony says and easily stops both of their bodies using his suit for resistance.

"At least I stopped you from hurting him" Sam struggles to say but manages to nod underneath them where Bucky is.

Bucky grabs Iron Man by his leg and brings him on the floor again. Then they both attack him and the first scratches and damages are visible on the outside of the suit. But Tony has had enough of that. He waits for the perfect moment and when Sam is right on top of his suit, he uses his chest unibeam and blasts him with it aggressively.

"SAM!" Bucky yells.

The power Tony used was enough not only to hurt Sam, but to also open a hole on the side wall and actually drop Sam on the roof next to them. Bucky gets off Tony's suit and quickly jumps on the roof, wanting to check on Sam, but the news aren't good. Sam is bleeding through his mouth and has a big injury in his abdomen from the blast.

"No, Sam" Bucky sobs over his body.

Sam tries to say something but he can't bring himself to do so. He coughs and chokes on his blood as he slowly drifts away in Bucky's arms.

"Devastating, isn't it? Losing someone you love in your arms" Tony appears behind him, flying very slowly.

"He was innocent!" Bucky shouts and runs into Iron Man with determination.

"So was Pepper" Tony replies and flies quicker.

They both form their hands into fists and punch one another in a very strong and impressive fight. They're both in a lot of emotional pain at the moment and not one of them even considers holding back.

"My mum was innocent, too. Remember her?" Tony asks and punches him in the face.

"You know I do, and I'm sorry" Bucky spits some blood on the floor.

"Your apology means nothing to me" Tony groans and punches him again.

When he tries one more time, Bucky grabs his hand in his and fights back. He pushes him backwards and hits him with all his power over and over. Tony tries to get up but Bucky is holding him down strongly. They both exhale deeply and groan loudly as they try to get free from one another.

"I didn't want this to end like that" Bucky says.

"Good. Because it won't" Tony uses his repulsors and shoots at him.

Bucky's body falls behind and he hurts his head on the ground. He groans but forgets about his pain and gets up. Tony lifts his arm and turns on his lasers. Bucky runs away from him but Tony only needs one move to aim and chop his metal arm off.

"It surely was improved. Much harder to cut than the last one" Tony says proudly and flies all the way to Bucky's body, that's now lying on the floor.

"I'm going to ask you one more time. Any last words?" Tony asks and lifts Bucky up from his collar.

"No" Bucky shakes his head and uses his only arm to fight back.

Tony loads up his repulsors and sees the fear in Bucky's eyes. Just when Bucky closes his eyes and accepts his fate, Tony stops and catches him off guard.

"You don't deserve this" he says and opens his helmet.

Bucky breathes in and out, still trying to read the situation. Is he safe? And if yes, why the sudden change of mind?

"You don't deserve a quick death" Tony continues.

"You'll meet the same fate with my mother" he adds again and his right arm armor disappears.

"Please" Bucky begs when Tony lifts him in the air by his neck.

Tony doesn't feel the sympathy, though. He feels like he's meant to do this, this is the thing he wants to do most right now. So he wraps his hand tighter and tighter. No matter how much Bucky tries to fight back, he doesn't succeed.

Tony's eyes are darker than ever, he really enjoys watching the life leave Bucky's eyes. Slowly his attempts to fight back get less and less powerful. Eventually, some seconds later, Bucky's arm gives up and lifelessly hangs down.

That's when Tony knows he has what he wanted for months now. He finally took revenge. But it was only one of the people he needs to take down. This was just the beginning.
