'Your wish has been granted. -The Genie.'
Being kidnapped is bad, sure, but if you get to watch trailers of your lives then is it really that bad? I mean, kind of, but I don't think that's all there is to it.
Peter, Steve, and Tony Stark find them...
It was clear there was a security problem. Well, sort of. How clear is this situation anyways? Steve didn't know, but he can guess really freakin' clear. The "trailer" was undoubtedly actual shots of Tony's life, and even if they weren't they still held sensitive information that no one but Tony should know. It was creepy and concerning and Steve didn't know what to make of it, and neither did the others.
"Well," Peter nervously laughed, breaking the silence. "Guessing Mr. Stark is getting a movie now?" Steve personally thought the joke was made a little too soon, but he appreciated the attempt to lighten the mood.
Tony scoffed, "Yeah, and I wasn't even asked to be on the production team. Now they'll never capture my stunning charm right."
"Tony, this is serious," Steve stood up. "This stalker could use all this information against you, and not to mention the fact that they somehow wiped out all our memories of last night as well. Whoever brought us here is dangerous."
Tony rolled his eyes, thinking something that wouldn't be appropriate to say in front of the kid. Of course, Steve was right, he always was, but what was he supposed to do about that? Summon his Iron Man suit to bust them out? No, he can't. The "Genie" guy or whatever took his phone while he was out and he had no intention of telling Steve and getting lectured about "vigilance" and "responsibility."
The room fell back into silence, inviting tension back in again. None of them were sure if the atmosphere was either awkward or fearful, but either way, it'll be hard to break the silence again.
"So, is that really how the whole...superhero thing started?" Peter said because he wasn't one to give up when things were hard. He glanced at Tony, and a mixed expression was on the man's face.
"Yes. That's how it happened." For a moment, Tony's gaze was distant. "So, are we being released now?"
Another DVD dropped from nowhere, onto Tony's head.
"ACK!" He spluttered as Peter asked if he was okay. The DVD clattered onto the floor, narrowly missing Peter's foot. Steve bent down to pick it up. He paused at the cover.
Steve sighed, "Look like this guy has more information than we thought."
