This wasn't supposed to become as bad as it did.

He came to the raft to negotiate about the accords, to let them know that this whole thing is a power play, the power of people that they currently didn't have. They had to understand that what they did wad politically an act of war. And no authority will support them when it's their position at stake. That they just needed to wait till something happened and the accords will be changed, they could be redacted! No law is permanent if the masses are in danger. It is for the people, by the people. He came in and saw wanda in a straight jacket, shivering and scared and confused. He wanted to help so bad. Whatever bad blood they had, he was still human enough to feel bad for someone so young in such a..... Remorseful situation.

Ross's words "you're lucky you're not in one of these cells" made his skin prickle. The airport fight had put too much pressure on him, it had drained him physically and emotionally. He was an inch away from going to his knees if another aggressive statement was thrown at him.

"The futurist gentlemen, the futurist!" clint yells clapping his hands "He sees all, he sees what's best for you whether you like it or not". He walks towards clint and says "give me a break barton, i had no idea they will put you here". Clint replies "but you knew they will put us somewhere Tony", "yeah but not some floating floaty for super psychopath or some...", "Criminals Tony, the word you're looking for is Criminals, that didn't used to be me or sam or wanda or cap" and adds then "But here we are". It was so  saddening for him. He felt like he could cry on spot. Subs generally don't not go under for so long as he has. He almost felt ill. "it is because you broke the law, i didn't make you". He replies at steve.

Scott intervenes "Hank was right you should have never trusted a stark", "who are you?" Tony asks. (boi got roasted. Ok sorry).

Clint remarks "you better watch your back with this guy, chances are he's gonna break it" the loud thump against the glass makes his heart beat faster. And he thinks, 'i did break Rhodey'.

Sam asks "How's Rhodes", thank god at least one 'teammate' remembers him. "they are shifting him to Columbia medicals tomorrow so fingers crossed..... What do you need they feed you yet?". Sam replies "you're the good cop now?", "I'm just a guy that needs to know where steve went"......

And we know how on terms of going as a friend he was given the information. He enters the bunker, he knows Steve will listen now that he had proof that his bucky was innocent. It hurt a little to think that his friends were ok till he took all the media fire and when he took the blames from mourning mothers but couldn't for once see things logically or at least talk things out. Politics was a play of his handa but now his hands had started to bleed. He needed help to heal, for someone to bear the weight for just a little while.

And then the damn universe made a joke of his life. The footage, the tears, the voice of his mother, the pleas of his father, the hatred he felt for him that he had taken away his mother from him. The broken promises that they will be back. That they will come back to him, for him all crashed upon him in that second.

He looks at the Steve his father ignored him for, his literal son for. They must have been close for him to keep a bigger space in Howard's heart than his son. He asks the image of perfection
"did you know?"
"i didn't know it was him"
A taint of liar.
"don't bullshit me Rogers did you know"
... "yes"....
The shattering of betrayal.

There isn't much fight left in him, he was tired. His left hand was broken. His emotions were too much but he still punched because adrenaline is a bitch. It can save you or it can get you killed.

He walks towards Bucky and Steve growls from behind "Stand down Stark it wasn't him! " his body reacted before he could and he stopped for a second. He realised what he was doing and charged again. And strikes happened from both sides till they reached the upper chambers.
