After Peter fell asleep in Tony's study, he saw the genius working on Alien technology. It was so foreign looking from the faintly eerie blue light, it was radiating to the twisted gears and vibrating funnels. He faked being asleep until he realized that Tony working on something so foreign was incredibly dangerous and had the potential to backfire aggressively at any given moment. Panic was settling in quickly as he laid there.
"Good Morning or should I say good evening, Peter?" Tony scoffed at Peter's drowsy appearance.

While slightly panicked, Peter looked quickly at the clock behind him which was positioned at 7:45. "Gah, Mr. Stark I'm late for dinner a-at home." Peter mumbled through the panic although it died down fast and was replaced with embarrassment.

"You're okay kid, I already let your Aunt May know that you dropped by and fell asleep." Tony chuckled at his embarrassment.

"I should be going home anyway though. Thanks Mr. Stark for having me!" Peter was wracked with admiration and anxiety. He left through the door on his left and carefully shut the door behind him.

"JARVIS? What tech was Mr. Stark working on?" Peter questioned, fearing the answer.

"Foreign Biological Matter from the Kree, which is from protocol T.A.H.I.T.I." JARVIS answered in a glitching voice, finally able to reveal what is happening after being ordered not to from Tony. Peter's face lost color in distress from the secret, he didn't entirely know how bad it was but he knew it was not right or okay in the slightest.

If he had walked out of the situation right there and then, he would have felt at least slightly responsible if anything happened to Tony in some freak accident. "JARVIS! Please tell someone or anyone what Tony is secretly doing!" Peter whispered quickly, fearing he was being overheard by Tony.

After JARVIS was sure Tony was asleep with Pepper,  JARVIS started impersonating Tony and sent fabricated emails and letters to the Avengers who were close to Tony. He hoped they would try to reason with his creator about tampering with the Alien Tech. The A. I. was also worried doubly for his creator's wellbeing after Tony's free-fell out of the hole in the sky that had linked the aliens to Earth and as he was making weapons out of alien tech.

Clint strutted up to Steve and Bucky who were sitting in Stark Tower lobby. "Steve, why would Tony want us here? Especially when we're here last month for the same reason."

Steve scratched the back of his head, being just as confused and suspicious of Tony's motives as Clint was. "Not sure. Tony wouldn't call us all here for no reason though." (If he's not drunk again.) The blond thought to himself, having dealt with false alarms Drunk Tony had set off so he could see them again.

Clint shrugged as Bruce, Thor and Natasha entered the room. He didn't really know why Tony could possibly want them gathered. Again.

Bucky tensed to a formal sitting position when Natasha entered the room while facing his dreaded painful flashbacks of the past with his time in the KGB and the beginning of his training with HYDRA.

"Steve..." Bucky wheezed trying to shake his delusions. Steve snapped his head to Bucky who was trembling slightly as he remembered.

Steve gently took Bucky's flesh hand. "Focus on me... it's not real, Buck." He urged while squeezing his hand and stroking his forearm, slowly bringing Bucky back to reality.

"I'm S-Sorry, Steve" Bucky quaked, looking away shamefully and slowly stopped trembling.
"It's alright. We're just going to talk with Tony. We can do anything you want later." Steve stated worriedly. He hated to see Bucky suffer his flashbacks delusions.

"JARVIS, where exactly is Tony?!" Bruce demanded, getting irritable fast after waiting for two hours.

"Mr. Banner, I suggest you calm yourself first, doctor... Tony is in his workshop, would you go downstairs please? Along with Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers, Sergeant Barnes, Agent Barton, and Prince Odinson." JARVIS was committed but wary of the havoc he could have possibly unleashed. His priorities were Tony's health and this could be a huge hazard to the genius' health.

"Nobody wants him."

Tony was working tirelessly, up to his eyes in grease and oil in his workshop.

"They just turn their heads."

The music was pounding out of the speakers that were dangling above Tony, playing from a playlist that was currently blaring Iron Man by Black Sabbath. Tony was arranging and designing new weapons for his Iron man Mark-Seven suit.

"Nobody helps him."

"Sir...you have visitors." JARVIS stated while everyone was in the elevator, moving towards his workshop.

"Turn off the music, JARVIS." Tony ordered, mildly annoyed at being disturbed from his creativity flow.

"Now he has-."

"Who's here, JARVIS?" Tony spoke softly, wondering who could possibly be at Stark Tower so early in the morning aside from Pepper of course.

"Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers, Sergeant Barnes, Agent Barton and Prince Odinson are coming to your workshop, Sir." JARVIS was putting it politely

'Fuck!' The billionaire thought quickly. Tony was panicking as he rushing to hide the alien tech by putting it all away in multiple plastic containers, cramming them out of sight. 

Clint, Bruce, Steve, Bucky, Thor and Natasha enter his workshop almost unnoticed. Tony's workshop was filled with blue light by too much Kree chemicals shining and sparkling off each other.

"By Odin's beard. What have you done?!" Thor recognized the Kree chemicals contaminating metal plates immediately.

"Tony? What is that?" Steve knew something was very wrong for Thor to speak like that. Thor was usually calm and collected unless it had to do with his brother Loki.

Thor turned to Steve. "Captain Rogers, this is not of earth but of the planet called Hala. Home to the Kree!" Thor was enraged by Tony being anywhere near the Kree, the Kree were to be destroyed not tested.

"What exactly is the Kree? Thor?" Bruce, Steve, Bucky and Natasha were largely confused by Thor's accusations.

Tony looked away in disgust, knowing fully well that what he did was wrong and potentially dangerous. Especially considering what was coming from even touching the foreign objects.

"The Kree are an advanced technology based species from the planet Hala...The Kree came a few generations ago to create weaponized abilities within humans for their armies! I believe your people called them 'Inhumans'." Thor was shaking his head, disappointed by Tony's actions for even coming into contact with the Kree technology in the first place.

The ground started to shake harshly, every tremor occurring with greater force while breaking the walls, floor, windows. Anything and everything was quickly crumbling around them.

"We need to Leave...NOW!" Bucky was determined to get at least Steve out in his frenzied panic. Bucky pulled Steve by the arm, toward the exit but the ceiling was almost collapsing. Steve pulled Bucky backwards before the ceiling collapsed in front of where the door had been. There was a moment as the Kree technology started to glow brighter and brighter. Both the containers and the matter inside combusted seconds after and a white beam of light shot straight through the roof of Stark Tower, radiating powerful blue waves off of the tech and throughout the rest of the building...
