"you're with me right?" Tony said looking at me. I looked up, being snapped out of my trance. I looked around the room to see everyone's eyes on me. "i'm not sure" i said quietly. "you've literally commented on it multiple times Y/N! all the destruction and how many lives it's ruined" Tony said, trying to get me on his side. "i agree with you Tony-" i started and i saw Steve shake his head in disappointment "but i also think that the consequences of not saving the planet would be a whole lot worse, if we had stood idly by while New York was invaded, the whole city would've been destroyed and thousands killed. These...creatures don't have a care for the landmarks we've built or the skyscrapers, they are more than happy just to fly into it and cause the whole city to collapse" i said, feeling myself getting frustrated about this situation. Steve shot me a small smile which i returned. I wish this was black and white but unfortunately it wasn't. "what is it with my uncanny ability to choose indecisive team mates" Tony said, giving me a hard glare. I sighed as i looked at him, facing my head back down towards the desk. I zoned out as the arguing began again, i was trying my best to stay out of is along with Wanda. Both of us not contributing much to the conversation, having an internal battle. "you're making yourselves into criminals!" Tony finally lost it, shouting which caused a silence across the room. He very rarely lost his cool. He looked around the room, meeting my stare. "i'm done" i said standing up and walking towards the door. "Y/N wait" Tony called to me and i shook my head. "every single one of us know the outcome of this, so why don't we stop preventing the inevitable. It's not like you both have a straight sailing friendship is it? as if you can even call it a friendship. Captain America versus Iron Man, let's give the public and the government exactly what they want!" i exclaim, glaring at both of them before slamming the glass door behind me, causing it to chip and crack.

[A Few Days Later]

"previously on the vampire diaries..." my TV echoed around my living room. Funnily enough i had really enjoyed my time away from the tower over the past few days. I'd done what i wanted, when i wanted. Not to mention the amounts of Netflix i've watched and pizza and ice cream i've consumed. As i was getting into the episode, there was a knock on my door. That must be my pizza! I got up, pausing my TV and making my way towards the door. I opened the door to find Tony standing on my doorstep, holding my pizza in a box. "hear me out" he started and my smile dropped. I grabbed the box of pizza and went to slam the door but he stepped forward, stopping me. "come on, you wouldn't be this hostile to America's golden boy" Tony said. I looked up at him and sighed before letting him in. "i've come to make a case...and recruit you" he said and i chuckled "didn't realise you'd want someone so indecisive as myself on your team" i snapped back and he chuckled. "i'm sorry for what i said, but i need you on my side Y/N" he said, taking a slice of pizza from my box. "you are one of the most influential people in this thing we've got going on, we've been a team for almost 7 years, don't bail on me now" Tony said and i smiled softly. "remember the first time we met? You were only 18, i'd crashed with one of my first suit prototypes that had malfunctioned. You found me, helping me get out with that super freaky thing you can do with your mind. If it wasn't for you, i might have died in there" He said, walking towards me slowly. "we've been a team since day one" he said, placing his hands on my shoulders. Tony and I had such a close bond, he was practically family. "i would never bail on you" i said softly. He smiled down at me before hugging me. I hugged him back, happy i'd made peace with him, but my stomach filled with dread that i'd betrayed Steve. "god you must've hit rock bottom over these past days with that shit on tv" Tony said and i gasped. "how dare you!" i said and we both laughed. "what's the plan then?" i asked and he sighed before beginning to explain.
