"I'm the most intelligent, capable person on the planet. I'm not playing God - all this time... I've been playing human."
Or a What If Universe, where Toni Stark died in Siberia and someone darker came out of the icy clutches of Death.
A.N. From the title you can probably guess that this chapter will be about Superior, Thor, Loki and Dr Strange.
https://www.tumblr.com/tony-stark-deserves-better/tagged/tony%20stark basically describes everything I want to say about Age of Ultron and Thor choking Tony and nobody doing anything about it.
That's the link but if you can't go on the website, this is what it says:
I've been thinking about the Avengers again...
And how Steve refers to them as a family. I can't help but wonder how Steve came to that conclusion, we never see them becoming that close. Yes, they are having a party and hanging out in Age of Ultron, but later they don't even care enough to stop Thor from choking Tony.
If they were a family, they wouldn't have let that happen.
They would've stopped to ask for the truth if they were a family.
If they were a family, they would realized that with Jarvis' death, he lost one of his best friends.
Instead, the Avengers wait around and watch as Thor, a god, chokes Tony their non-superhuman teammate with known health issues. As if that weren't enough, they don't even trust Tony more than a known criminal.
When Tony accidentally makes a "murder-bot" he's seen as a villain and not given a chance to explain, yet the Avengers will willingly trust the Maximoffs despite knowing they've worked with Ultron.
To add insult to injury, Wanda fucked with Tony's head- she's the reason he made Ultron, yet they let her join the team. There's no doubt in my mind that made Tony feel uncomfortable IN HIS OWN HOME, the one that HE provided for THEM.
Then civil war comes around and all these people, this "family" leave not because of the accords. No matter what Steve said, he was going to sign. The accords aren't why he left, Tony lost his team because Steve missed his friend and got mad that someone he CONTINUOUSLY calls a CHILD got house arrest.
They were never a family, they never could have been. There was never trust between Tony and his team, whether because of his past or preconceived ideas I don't know. All I know is that Tony gave them everything, shelter, gadgets, costumes, food, and they took advantage of him. They left him hanging because they had never taken responsibility for their actions and refused to be held accountable.
I am glad that they weren't a family though, because that means when they come crawling back Tony can say no. Tony can finally separate himself from the toxicity of the Avengers and live his life.
He can go and make his own family, he doesn't need Steve to "give him the Avengers".
I also based this chapter on this fanart I found.
