Chapter 41

"Hey Rhodey." Tony said as Rhodey arrived, take a seat." Tony said as he began pouring a drink for both of them.

"Tony, are you alright?" Rhodey asked as he sat down.

"No," Tony said bluntly. "I am not alright Rhodey. I feel like an idiot, I feel stupid and I have a giant headache because of it and these stupid accords."

"Tony, you were one of the ones who was originally pushing for the accords." Rhodey reminded him.

"That is why I feel like an idiot," Tony said as he pushed a glass into Rhodey's hand. "I bet Pepper would have been able to stop me from being one."

"Years of failure suggests otherwise." Rhodey commented as he and Tony took a sip, although Tony's as much longer than Rhodey's. "Alright, so tell me then, you were all for the accords and now you are all against it. What happened?"

"I talked with Harry, he talked me out of it."

"But why would he do that? I know he doesn't like the accords but..."

"Rhodey, we both agree that Harry is a good man, right?"

"Well, yeah but..."

"I trust him, he helped me when I was stuck in a cave. He helped me when Stane was trying to kill me, he took a nuke up into an alien portal to save the city so I didn't have to do it, he fought in New York with me and then there was that shit show with Ultron. He didn't shout at me, he didn't constantly remind me about what I did, he just got to work and helped fix the problem. In my experience Harry has always had a good reason for everything he has done, don't you agree?"

"Well yeah but that doesn't always mean he is right." Rhodey countered. "I know you want to side with him on the accords but..."

"Barnes killed my parents." Tony interrupted suddenly, causing Rhodey to stop and gap at him.

"B...you mean Bucky Barnes? As in the Bucky Barnes on the Avengers?!" Rhodey said with disbelief.

"Right after Harry discovered Hydra and freed Barnes Harry spent some time helping Barnes regain all of his memories with whatever wizard mind magic he knows," Tony sighed as he ran a hand through his hair before pausing to take a drink. "so they went through all the shit that Hydra made Bucky do. One of the things he did was kill my parents. Harry could have kept it secret, if he didn't tell me then I never would have known. But he was honest with me, he told me."

"What did you do?" Rhodey could not help but ask.

"What did I do?" Tony snorted as he shook his head. "I remember what I wanted to do, I remember wanting to get Barnes and rip his metal arm off before beating him to death with it."

"Why didn't you?" Rhodey asked.

"Take a guess," Tony replied. "it was Harry. He told me that he had taken Barnes somewhere where only he could find him, I remember it pissed me off so much, I was one wrong word away from throwing a punch at him. He then made me a deal, he would tell me where Barnes was if I went out flying with him."

"Wait what?"

"You heard," Tony replied. "I figured fine, if that is what it takes then I will do it. So I put my suit on, he trusted me enough to not blast him. He grabbed me and teleported me out into dessert then me and him started flying together, he then goaded me into a game of chase and when I kept getting close he would increase his speed or do some crazy trick or teleport further ahead. I lost count of how long we flew, he kept getting me angrier and angrier so I flew faster and faster.
