Clint's POV

I was walking back to Tony's lab when I noticed that the lights were flickering and the door was open, I ran over and looked in. I saw that most of the lights were either swinging, or were broken, a few of the tables were flipped over, some of the computer screens were shattered and Tony's suit was in pieces scattered along the ground. "TONY?! STEVE!?" I yelled as I slowly walked further into the lab. "GUYS?!" I got no response from either of them. Frustrated I ran over to one of the computers that wasn't smashed to see if I could find anything. "Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y? What happened to Tony and Steve?" "Captain Rogers attacked Mr. Stark. He knocked him out and left the building with him." The computer replied.

"SHIT!" I thought to myself before running to Bruce's old lab. "F.R.I.D.A.Y tell me you can track them?" I jumped onto one of the office chairs. "I am sorry Sir, I am afraid I can't. Something is stopping me from searching." I threw my hands up in frustration before looking at a map of New York, "Must be Hydra, they did this to Steve so they must have ordered him to do something. Did Steve say anything that might be a concern to ya?" I asked, spinning around in the chair. "He did mention a ringing, he was apparently the only one who heard it since Mr. Stark didn't react to it at all."

Before I could do anything else the rest of the team walked in, well what was left of us anyway. "Clint what is going on? Tony's lab is destroyed and I can't find him or Steve anywhere!" Rhodey said. Nat whipped her head to face him before whipping her head to look at me. "Clint, what happened?" She sounded angry. "Ok I'll start from the beginning..." I explained everything to them up to the point where I left to get a few things. "For the love of-" Nat ran her fingers through her hair, "So Steve went all crazy and you think that he took Tony?" I nodded before looking around, "Look it sounds crazy but it does make sense! We just have to find them both before Tony dies or we lose Steve forever or hell even both!" I looked around the room at everyone. Nat, Sam and Rhodey all nodded while Vision and Wanda shook their heads no.

I sighed, "Now what is up with you two?" Vision looked over at Wanda before speaking. "I think it is better if we both stay here just in case they both return and they need help. Besides, if Hydra gets a hold of either one of us, you guys would be in danger." Thinking about it, they were right. "Ok so you two stay here while Rhodey, Sam, Nat and I go get Tony and Steve. If you guys see or hear anything contact us immediately, understood?" Both nodding they walked out of the room while the rest of us got out gear and headed towards the quinjet.

"Do you think we can even find them?" Sam asked. "We found Steve once, I think we can do it again." Nat said as she sat in the pilots seat. I took my seat next to her and buckled up, "Ya you did but you guys had Tony to look for you guys as well, he started the search while you two just expanded. So as far as I know, we are kind of in the dark on this one." Rhodey said as he leaned over my seat to chat. I grunted before flicking a few levers and pushing a few buttons, "I guess you are right but we can also go to someone who can help us." Nat looked over at me, "T'Challa, he and Steve are sort of friends so he could help us." Sam laughed. Nat and I both looked at him before turning back to the window. "Ya right. Like the king of Wakanda would help us find him, he is helping us with Bucky, so I think he has had enough of our request." I rolled my eyes as we took off. "Well we might as well try!" I said as we took off towards Wakanda.

*Time Skip*

We landed the quinjet in front of the palace. T'Challa, Shuri, and the Dora Milaje were all walking towards us as we walked off. "Avengers, what brings you to Wakanda?" T'Challa asked. Nat walked in front of me to face him, "We need your help if you are willing to listen." Okoye gave her a dirty look, "Wakanda doesn't help outsiders." T'Challa raised his hand to silence her before looking at Nat, "What is your problem Natasha?" He asked. "Steve and Tony have gone missing and F.R.I.D.A.Y can't find them so we were hoping you could help us, your majesty." I could tell Okoye didn't like us since we made her king look bad but surprisingly she didn't say anything. "Come with me. We can discuss this in the castle." We followed him into his sister's lab where Shuri immediately ran over to her computers.

T'Challa motioned for us to sit down while we explained everything that happened. "Start from the top, what happened to Rogers and why he would go after Stark." It took about three minutes for us to explain everything that had happened. He looked over at his sister who was walking over to us. "Where was the last place they were both located?" She asked while looking at her tablet. "Well the last place they were both at was the tower. Someone was wrong with Steve so Tony was trying to figure it out but Hydra did something to Steve which caused him to go crazy." She was typing something into her tablet while T'Challa was talking to Nat and Sam since they knew the most about what happened to him.

Okoye walked over and stood next to me while everyone else was talking. "You ok Clint?" She asked. I shook my head and then looked down at the floor. "No, I am not ok. My friends are missing, and one has been tortured which is not good. I feel like this is my fault since I took my sweet arse time getting the things that Stark needed. If I was there sooner we wouldn't be here and Steve and Tony wouldn't be missing!" I half yelled at my own feet. She placed her hand on my back, "Don't worry Barton, we will find them." I scoffed. "Let's hope we can because I don't want to lose my friends." She started to rub my back while also whispering to T'Challa about what we are going to do.

When Okoye left me alone I saw T'Challa walking over to the door. "Hey T'Challa, where are you going?" I asked. He grabbed the door handle and turned around to face me, "I am going to go get something. Don't worry I'll be back in a few." With that he opened the door and left. I walked over to where Shuri was and looked over her shoulder for a quick second to see what she was doing. "Barton, do you need anything?" She asked looking over her shoulder. I took a step back and lowered my head, "No, I was just seeing what was going on. I was just about to go back to my seat." She stopped playing around with her computer and turned to face me. "It will be ok Barton, we will find them." She rubbed my arm before turning her attention back to her computer. "Why is no one saying anything anymore? Where did T'Challa even go? God why is no one telling us anything!" I yelled in my head before sitting back down on the chair and dozing off for a bit.
