[TONYS POV]
Things started to go to hell. I was going towards my suit and put it on.
"JARVIS, were going on a little ride buddy."
...
"JARVIS?"
...
"JARVIS you there?"
What the hell. Why isn't JARVIS answering?

Coulson is dead. Fury said Loki stabbed him in the heart with the scepter. This is going to kill Grace.
We gathered in the briefing room and Fury was giving a speech.
"Yes, we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number though, because I was playing something even riskier. There was an idea, Stark knows this, called THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea, in heroes.
I got up and walked away. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Was he married?" I look behind me and Steve
"No. There was uh...cellist, I think.
"I'm sorry. He seemed like a good man."
"He was an idiot." I said out of anger.
"Why? For believing?"
"For taking Loki alone."
"He was doing his job."
"He was out of his league. He should have waited. He should have..."
"Sometimes there isn't a way out, Tony."
I walked away but he followed me.
"Is this the first time you've lost a soldier." He asked and I turned around.
"WE ARE NOT SOLDIERS! I am not marching to fight Fury's fight!"
"Neither am I! He's got the same blood on his hands as Loki does. Right now we've got to put that aside and get this done. Now Loki needs a power source, if we can put together a list...."
"He made it personal."
"That's not the point."
"That is the point. That's Loki's point. He hit us all right where we live. Why?"
"To tear us apart." Steve said.
"He had to to conquer his greed, but he knows he has to take us out to win, right? That's what he wants. He wants to beat us and he wants to be seen doing it. He wants an audience.
"Right, I caught his act at Stuttengard."
"Yeah that's just a preview, this is opening night. Loki's a full-tilt diva. He wants flowers, he wants parades, he wants a monument built in the skies with his name plastered..." I stopped and realized, "Son of a bitch!"
Grace... Oh no.
"What?" Steve said as I frantically tried calling Grace.
No answer.
I tried calling Happy.
No answer.
"What? What's wrong?!"
"Oh God."
"Stark what's wrong?!"
"He's going to the tower." I said looking at him with a concerned face.
"Yeah so?"
"No you don't understand my daughter is there and she's not picking up."
"You have a daughter?"
"That's not the point! I need to get to her no one is answering at the house and my servers and systems are down they must have gotten inside. I need to go." I said rushing away to get my suit!
"Stark!" Steve yelled.
I turned around.
"I'm coming with you." He put his hand on my shoulder. "We're going to get your kid back."
