"What do you mean you're going to retire?!" Carol exclaimed, placing both hands on the table, looking at Steve without believing what she had just heard. The other Captain sighed.—Carol, please understand. I'm a single parent now, even though Tony and I have joint custody. The kid needS me, okay?Carol sighed, crossing her arms.—I understand your decision... I suppose I would do the same if I found myself in your situation..."Look, I don't plan on retiring completely." Steve smiled at her to calm her down. "If you guys really need me during a mission, then I'll go help you, but for now, I'll hang up my shield..." Carol said again. to sigh. Steve approached her with a smile. "And the reason I decided to tell you this before the others is because I wanted to ask you if you would agree to be the new leader."Carol gasped, looking at Steve in shock.—Wait, really? "Me?" He laughed. "You don't like the idea of ​​us not having a captain in charge, do you?" They both laughed."You were serious, Carol. I couldn't think of anyone better than you to lead. APART FROM TONY ,You're already like the leader when I'm not there. What are you saying?Carol smiled excitedly."Captain, it's an honor." She and Steve saluted, and then laughed.

                         TONY'S PENTHOUSE ON MANHATTAN

"Tony?" Rhodey asked as he entered Stark's penthouse. "Are you here?" You didn't go to the meeting this morning. 

And Steve and PETER are supposed to be here in half an hour...Rhodey went to the small living room of Tony's penthouse, and his blood ran cold when he saw Tony collapsed on the floor, his face on the coffee table.—TONY!—He shouted as he ran towards his friend and carefully picked him up. Tony's eyes were half open and his condition was terrible. Rhodes's heart began to beat in panic.—No, no, no...— he took one of Tony's wrists and calmed down just a little when she felt a pulse, but it was somewhat weak. He got an idea of ​​what he had been through when he noticed the drugs on the table. "What have you done, Tony...?"The ambulance took Tony away just as Steve arrived at the tower along with PETER. He watched the image in horror, of Tony being carried on a stretcher to the ambulance and then taken to the nearest hospital, and swallowed, trying to control his breathing. 

He parked and turned to the back seats.—PETER STAY, please."POPS, what's wrong?" PETER asked with a trembling voice.—Did something happen with dad ?—Peter seemed on the verge of tears."Uh...hey, Pete!" ESTEVE exclaimed as he pulled HIS PHONE out of his jacket pocket. "How about you MY PHONE FOR A WHILE?"Steve exhaled as the child began to be distracted by THE PHONE and got out of the car, heading towards the PENTHOUSE, where his classmates were entering to avoid the paparazzi and reporters who had arrived."Captain Rogers!" One of the reporters exclaimed, trying to bring a microphone closer to Steve's face. "Can you answer some questions?"Steve growled and quickly entered the BUILDING THAT TONY ALSO OWNED, his friends saw him worried, Natasha was sobbing, which was obvious despite how quickly she wiped away her tears."What happened?" Steve asked with rapid breathing."I... I found him..." Rhodes exhaled. "One of the paramedics told me that it seems like he overdosed..."Steve blinked several times, exhaled, and ran a hand through his hair. His fear for years was coming true. Since Steve hadn't been there that time, Tony had gone too far.

A thousand thoughts began to run through his head, the tightness in his chest caused by worry becoming suffocating. The voices of her friends became distant and her hands began to shake."Steve?" Thor put a hand on his shoulder."Did you bring the kid with you?" Bruce asked. "Come on, let's take them upstairs...""Pepper?" Calm down, please...—Rhodey said speaking into the phone, and Steve looked up surprised when he heard that name.—Tony... has just been taken in an ambulance. I don't know what will happen to him... Pep, please relax, breathe...Steve tried to calm down and headed towards the entrance of the Tower so he could go get the child accompanied by Carol and Nat, when they heard a loud gasp from Rhodes."What's wrong?" Clint asked, looking at War Machine, who looked very pale and had horror on his face.—Pepper, stay calm! "I'm going there!" He exclaimed and ran towards the entrance to leave the Tower, but not before looking at his companions and saying: "It's Pepper... she says her water just broke."
