Daddy Issues ~ Sebastian Stan {Completed}

51.

Sebastian's POV

I was sitting in my living room, trying to finish the book I was reading when I got a call from Paul Bettany.

"Been a while, Vision," I smiled as I picked up the call.

"There's a signal disturbance at the warehouse, but I can't see anything in a 15-mile radius," He said in his monotone voice ignoring my greeting. 

"You sure it's not RDJ messing with the security devices again? I swear to god that man has too much time on his hands," I sigh, slumping into the couch.

"No, Downey is currently at his house," 

"Do you have any leads on Lizzy?" I asked, getting up to get ready.

"No, I 've literally been looking for months, but she's still MIA," He sighed.

"We'll find her soon, I promise," I told him as I got into my car to drive down to the warehouse. 

As I reached the warehouse, everything looked pretty standard, just a few cars parked to the side, and the usual buzz of people around the block, nothing out of the ordinary. But I still felt bad as I made my way to the double doors. Looking around, I typed in the pin code, waiting for the door to click open when I heard the sound of thick rubber screeching against the coal ground. I looked up, seeing an inverted truck rushing towards the building. Then finally, just as the truck made contact with the building, the smell of gasoline hit me. I quickly jumped to the side, the grass breaking my fall as I tumbled down. 

Before I could get up, there were two men dressed in all black rushing towards me and picking me up. I swiftly pulled my arm, pulling the man with it, twisted the other one, and used the man down as support as I broke away from the two. I kicked the other one in the head for good measure before running towards the truck that was now lodged into the side of the building. 

Just as I was about to reach the truck, one of the men working inside rushed to the truck, pulling the door open before I could stop him. 

"No!" I tried to reach for him, but it was already too late. As soon as the dumbass opened the door, he flew away from the impact of the blast. I felt the heat for just a second before I too was flying backward, till my back hit something hard, knocking the air out of me. 

"Fuck," I sighed, trying to catch my breath as I got on my knees and got up. 

"Stan!" I heard Bettany's voice. I looked up, seeing nothing but dark debris around me. Coughing, I got up and limped toward the building. 

"Stan! Are you ok?" Bettany came to me, holding my side to aid me as we walked inside the building. 

"What the hell was that?" I sighed, trying to check for any other men that were in the truck.

"Truck's clear, but there are some disturbances coming through in a ten-mile radius. I can't get the exact picture because of the interruption." Simu said as he continued to type away on the computer. 

"What does that mean?" I looked at him. 

"Fight. Gurr." He mocked throwing his hands in fists. 

"Great!" I rolled my eyes, "Did you call Downey-"

"They are already on their way here," Simu said, continuing to type on the computer. "Here," He threw an earpiece at me.

"So, you're just going to sit there typing or can you actually fight?" I asked as I got up and loosened my wrist and neck, hearing the sound of multiple engines going off. 

"Who the fuck are these idiots?" I sighed, getting ready to walk out. 

"Don't know, man," Simu walked next to me, twirling his staff as he eyed the number of people getting out of the cars. He ran ahead of me, spinning the staff as he cleared the first layer of people. "And... Yeah, I do fight." He said as he finished the last man, holding his staff behind him as he looked down. 

"Did he just do the pose?" Bettany laughed. "He just did the pose to the inventor of the pose! Wow!" He tsked before going off to the side to fight the three men running towards him. 

"Cute," I chuckled, catching the arm that flung towards me before punching right in the ribs, knocking him out. 

It felt like hours, but the rush of men attacking us didn't stop, even with backup, Downey and Mark, we still couldn't hold them off. 

"How many more, Downey?" I sighed, recklessly flinging my arm at whatever was coming my way. 

"Hold them off just a few minutes more, I'm trying to get to the bottom of who is doing this," He yelled as he continued to work. 

"Who sent you?" I asked the woman beneath me, holding her in a chokehold while her body was caged under me. She just spat to the side, hissing at me. "Bitch," I cursed, striking her face until her nose cracked under my fist. 

"Downey! You better give us a raise after this!" I yelled at him as I held the three men back. 

"If you make it out alive that is," I heard him whisper. 

"What!?" I turned around, loosening my grip around the man who took the opportunity to kick me in the knee, bringing me down. 

"Can't you see, we're busy talking right now?" I sighed as Simu knocked one of them out. "It's kinda a life and death situation, dude," I kicked the one to my left as Simu took care of the other one. 

"Don't expect thanks for that," I brushed my shoulder as Simu looked at me. 

"Wasn't going to, anyway," He rolled his eyes before disappearing again. 

I continued to fight the men off me when I felt the back of a gun hit the back of my head. Everything around me started to spin, the colors started to blend and the voices became distant. I tried to shake it off, turning around while holding my head. 

"Almina! Please! Just listen to me!" Ryan? 

I shook my head once more, getting a clearer picture. 

Almina standing in front of me, almost as if she was defending me. Her hands shook as she held the gun at- 

Ryan! 

I could hear Almina's whimpers as Ryan continued to beg for her to lower the gun. But how did Almina get here? Why is Ryan here? And why is Almina holding a gun to her? 

"I'm so sorry!" Almina cried as she pulled the trigger. 

That was the last thing I heard. The sound of the bullet leaving the gun. The sound of the gun falling to the floor. The sound of a gasp from Ryan. The sound of Almina's loud cries. 

"Mina," I tried to reach for her as she crumpled to her knees. 

"Mina..."
