The Priviate Life of the Avengers

Chapter Fourteen- Steve

Steve's P.O.V.

We swerved into the garage at the Tower and Tony got out and slammed his door taking off his tie as he walked in I sighed, “Who wants to calm him down today?” I asked looking at them. “We’ll let you have that honor.” Carol said getting out of the car with Pepper. I sat there for a second thinking of the best way to handle this with no luck so I got out of the car and walked inside. I saw Tony sitting at the bar with a drink next to him half empty. “What’s up Stark?” I asked him he didn’t turn around and just said, “None of your concern Steven.” His voice was different but I tried to ignore that. “Out of all the nicknames you’ve ever given me you’re going with Steven?” it was really meant as a joke but I heard him sigh angrily. “What do you want because your starting to piss me off.” He said angrily still in that weird voice. “I just wanted to see if you’re okay you seemed pretty pissed back there.” I told him he turned around so he was facing me and stood up looking me in the eyes but his eyes were gold not their normal brown when he realized I had noticed he smiled wickedly. “What have you done to Tony?” I asked it not trying to use put any emotion in my voice. “I have expanded his mind I would think.” He said starting to walk toward me. When he started changing he now I’ve seen some pretty weird things but whatever was changing Tony was getting pretty high on the list because he was changing gold. “Expanded or taken over?” I asked the anger seeping in my voice he laughed evilly. “Aren’t they the same thing?” he said adding an evil grin I was about to respond when his fist collided with my nose. The impact threw me back a few feet and I landed on the ground really hard it knocked the wind out of me for a few seconds and I felt a white hot pain in my nose assuring my fear he had broken my nose. I got up on all fours when I felt a kick collide with my ribs and I landed again on my back I felt pressure on my already sore ribs and looked up to see a golden tony on top of me he smiled evilly and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt pulling my head up closer to his, “I’m going to kill you now but before I do I wanted to tell you something.” He said that evil grin spreading wider across his face. “Then get on with it.” I said trying not to sound like I was in pain I felt a bit of blood come out of my mouth. “Loki could have stopped this all of this.” He said his sickening smile growing he threw my head back on the ground and it hit with a loud thud I thought I heard the sound of cracking bone and I started to see spots I felt his hands on my neck and he began to squeeze. I started gasping for air then something caused him to be thrown across the room I looked up trying to get air back in my lungs I saw Carol standing in the doorway her hands still glowing a bit. “You alright Cap?” she asked not taking her eyes off of Tony I tried to say something but I think I just sounded like a dying walrus so I nodded and tried to sit up and it hurt like hell my whole body was on fire I finally stood up stumbling a bit I looked over to see Carol fighting “Tony” but she was clearly losing I tried to run over but I almost ran into the couch and I had to stop for a second to catch my breath again I looked over just as Tony threw a punch at Carol and it hit her in the face throwing her  across the room. I felt myself getting angry I mean I always get angry whenever anyone hurts my friends but this time I felt different I felt like I had to protect her. So I ran over and punched Tony as hard as I could right across the face it looked like it hurt him a bit but I think it hurt me more he grabbed me by my neck again and raised me off the ground. "You just don’t know when to give up do you?” he said putting a bit more pressure in my neck and throwing me out the window. I only remember the feeling and sound of breaking glass and the feeling of falling I think I blacked out before I hit the ground.
