"But if the police found who ACTUALLY killed those people, then why was that Hydra agent there?"
"I don't know"
"I know" Tony interjects after half an hour in silence thinking "they killed Arthur. Then his family possibly figured it out, or threatened to go to the police so they killed them off. The dirty piece of shits killed them too. And I bet you they killed Arthur because he was our friend, they wanted something from us. They covered it up and when his brother and wife become a threat they kill them, leaving them here to look like they were victim of this shooting"
"But when the forensics do the tests they'll surely-" Bucky says
"They won't because Hydra have them wrapped around their fingers"
"How do you know?" You ask
"Tony's right. Hydra have insides everywhere. A month ago they were rumoured to have caught an agent but she killed herself before she was detained" Steve awkwardly ends, remembering your last conversation hours earlier.
You're all interrupted by the sound of the news on TV
BREAKING NEWS:
Founder of Stark Industries, Billionaire Tony Stark, is said to have lost all shares of his company after "careless managing".
The channel shows a small clip of nights earlier when the paparazzi man came to the door which was shut on him.
"I heard he fired his therapist and refused to take his meds. That man can't run a multi-billion dollar business" says one twitter user named Donald Trump.
Others are in support of their hero, sending their well wishes toward him. "Dear Tony Stark, I know you're probably never going to see this but stand strong and fight whatever coming for you. Don't let them define you, You are Iron Man. I pray for your recovery from all your problems soon" Says user Bruce Wayne.
"JARVIS find that kid and how much his college tuition costs" Tony says.
"The real question everyone now has is:
Can Ironman win this battle?
Whilst everyone tried looking for the remote, Tony's eyes remained fixated on the screen. Usually when the media would start their feuds with Tony, Pepper would be there to fix everything and look out for Tony. Of course the team would help, but no one understood Tony quite like Pepper.
After defeating Ultron, Pepper had been so close to Tony so not to let him out of her sights again and you noticed Rhodey getting jealous of Tony's attention being full set on her. So naturally the team made fun of him.
After a while of being unable to find the remote, Nat sees it and grabs it out of Tony's hand as he held it all along.
Before waiting to hear her lecture, he stands up and walks out of the room without a word.
