One minute later...

Tony's place looked like a disaster zone. Shards of glass, pieces of broken cabinets, and the remains of what had once been a collection of expensive wine bottles littered the floor.

All the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sent to apprehend Roger were now sprawled across the ground.

Clearly, it was Roger who had put them down.

Of course, given Tony was watching, Roger had held back, sparing their lives. But as for a few cases of severe fractures... well, that was hard to say.

"I said I didn't mind some mess, but that didn't mean turning my vintage wine collection into a puddle on the floor," Tony remarked, eyeing the wreckage. "Do you even know how much all that costs?"

Roger lifted his foot off one of the downed agents and replied, "No, and I don't want to know, since I'm not paying for it."

"Oh?"

"Make them pay, or, better yet, their boss. After all, you let them in."

Roger threw the responsibility back at Tony without hesitation.

With the level of control Tony had over the tower, there was no way he didn't know these agents were coming for Roger. Through his AI, J.A.R.V.I.S., he probably saw them coming long before they arrived, yet he did nothing to stop them.

Maybe Tony didn't feel like getting involved, or maybe he just wanted to see how Roger would handle them. Either way, he had let them in, knowing they couldn't really cause trouble in Stark Tower.

In fact, given their nerve to storm the place even with Tony present, they were lucky he hadn't thrown them all out himself.

Tony smirked at Roger, not pressing him to pay for the damage, and said, "Fine, let's drop it. But it seems Fury's in deeper trouble than we thought if his agents are desperate enough to come here."

As he spoke, Tony nudged one of the unconscious agents with his foot.

Roger looked up at the sky.

Far above, beyond the visible range of the human eye, three helicarriers were rising toward the clouds. Now he could see Cap and Falcon trying to infiltrate, but things weren't going well.

Onboard the helicarriers were only Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, while Natasha and Clint were nowhere to be found, likely searching for the missing Fury or dealing with other issues.

Once those helicarriers were airborne and the Insight Initiative launched, they'd unleash deadly firepower on hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

"This can't happen," Roger muttered under his breath.

Without further word, he took off at full speed toward the rising helicarriers.

Tony, left mid-sentence, could only watch as Roger shot off. Looking down at the defeated S.H.I.E.L.D. agents strewn across the floor, he let out a long sigh and said, "J.A.R.V.I.S., clean this up. And... prep my suit. Looks like I've got a party to attend."

...

Steve Rogers was in trouble.

A few days ago, he'd been ensnared by a young woman's ability to manipulate his mind, leaving him haunted by lingering visions.

Before he'd even had a chance to clear his head, he got the news that Fury had been attacked and was missing.

Within a day, he, Natasha, and Clint were all declared enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.
