Introduction
For many people it was lucky that Tony kept an eye on SHIELD when Natasha did the data dump. Tony immediately steps into action to save the compromised Agents. He spends hours picking up the pieces of what Steve, Natasha and Fury did. What will Tony say when he sees them next? After all he is so angry at them for putting peoples lives on the line…
Warning: Swearing
Two Shot
Watchful, Angry, Panic
Part: One
Tony had been taking his new armour for a spin it was lonely at the Tower at the moment. Bruce was in India. Clint on a mission. Thor in Asgard. And Steve and Natasha on a top secret mission. That he thought had something to do with Fury supposedly dying. Which he didn't believe for a second. As the bastard was too stubborn and a pain in the ass to die. And he didn't believe Steve would have anything to do with it.
He wanted them to call him in he wanted them to trust him. So he had JARVIS keeping an eye on them.
"Sir we have a massive serge of activity for SHIELD. It would appear that they are downloading some content onto the internet", JARVIS says
Tony frowns and asks for the details and his eyes widen at what he sees ALL SHIELD files where being uploading to the world wide web. And those files where on current missions, hiding Agents, safehouses, personal records, the lot!
"What the fucking hell!" Tony yells angrily, "What the hell are you doing Romanoff?"
Tony could spot her hacking anywhere. He made it a point to know.
"Sir we have a video from Captain Rogers", JARVIS says
"Play it JARVIS", Tony says
Soon his vision lights up and plays in front of his eyes.
"Attention all SHIELD Agents, this is Steve Rogers. You're heard a lot about me over the last few names. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time to tell the truth. SHIELD is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The STRIKE and insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. Absolute Control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today. HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always had been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not"
"Mother fucker. He basically has handed and signed some good people their death warrants!" Tony snarls
"Sir what do you require?" JARVIS asks
"Start scrubbing the information off the web all Agents undercover, hiding, alias's, safe houses and families ID. Send out the Iron Legions immediately to all locations. Patch me through to channels for an alert to Agents", Tony orders
"Ready sir", JARVIS says
"Agents of SHIELD this is Iron Man. You all need to get the heck of dodge! For some mother fuckers have compromised your positions. Don't go to any safe houses known to SHIELD and on their files! They have all be leaked. Go to the ports or if you close to Stark locations safe houses I am sending. Or hell go to the local embassy. And I will find a way to extract you as soon as possible. I am sending out the Iron Legions to as many of your locations at possible. Send an SOS if its urgent. Keep your weapons handy folks and fingers on the trigger. Good luck and contact me through this channel so I can hopefully get you home. Good luck Agents, men and women. You are all good Men and Women who don't deserve this. Or what fate has planned for you. I will do my best to bring as many of you home to your families as possible. And if you are unforturte to get hurt...or killed I will still bring you home. And make sure your families are looked after. This I promise you. Iron Man out", Tony says cutting the footage
"It has been sent on a secure frequency sir", JARVIS says
"J start wiping those records and put them on my secure private serve", Tony says
"Yes sir", JARVIS says
Tony starts activating the Iron Legion from the Malibu House and Stark Tower. As he flies fast.
"Oh fricking fantastic! The Potomac River. 7 minutes out. And it is one step away from going down. What the fuck is Rogers, Widow and the Bastard Eye Patch doing! JARVIS keep going with the Data Dump snd I will active STARDUST to help you. I am activating LEGEND for the Legions. I am activating too JACOSTA for the suit I am going to help. The carrier goes down and people will get killed", Tony says activating JACOSTA, LEGEND and STARDUST.
"Yes sir", JARVIS says, "Sir we have reports of disturbances"
"Work fast JARVIS and STARDUST get those fucking files of the net", Tony snarls
Tony runs through the list of families in danger and sees the name Barton.
"Shit! Iron Legion Two divert to location…", Tony rattles of the address, "Protection detail. Wait for extraction by Happy Hogan"
Tony orders JACOSTA to call Happy.
"Sir you need me?" Happy asks
"We have a emergency. Hap I need you to extraction a family. Locate them to the Tower. It is the Barton Family. SHIELD has leaked their location. Your closest. I need your help here", Tony says
"How bad boss?" Happy asks
"Bad Hap. The worse kind. Get over there put your lead foot down. The location is…", Tony rattles of the address and hangs up
Tony wants to see if Rhodey was in the area.
"JACOSTA is Rhodey in War Machine? And in the area?" Tony asks
"He is sir. His signal is being picked up", JACOSTA replies
"Connect the coms", Tony orders
"Connecting now", JACOSTA says
"Tones what is wrong?" Rhodey says
"Oh nothing much except for the fucking SHIELD to do a data dump and throw all there Undercover, Hiding and Family Agents data leaked as well as safe houses and a whole lot more", Tony growls
Tony heard Rhodey swear.
"What do you need?" Rhodey asks
"Get to the Potomac. Three hellicarriers is battling to stay in the area. I am on route. Go now and we will arrive at the same time", Tony orders
"On my way. Meet you there in 5", Rhodey says
"Will do. I need to make another call now. I will connect the coms again when we meet", Tony says
"Fine Tony be careful", Rhodey says
"I will", Tony says hanging up, "JACOSTA connect me to the Barton residence"
"Connecting now sir", JACOSTA says
"Hello?" a woman asks
"Ma'am I am Iron Man aka Tony Stark. I work with your husband if I am correct. You are in danger. Along with anyone else in the house. Is Clint aka Hawkeye there?" Tony asks
"He is. I will call him. Are we really in danger?" the woman asks
"Yes ma'am", Tony says
"I will get him", the woman says
Tony heard her calling for Clint.
"Who is it?" Clint yells a distance from the phone
"It is Iron Man", the woman says
Tony heard the sound of a chatter of something being dropped and he heard the rustling of the phone.
"Stark how the hell did you get this number?" Clint growls
"Don't fucking growl at me Barton! We have a big fricking problem. Widow did a data dump with Rogers and Fury. ALL of SHIELD's classified files have been dumped safe houses, undercover agents, everything! Your not safe", Tony says as he stays on course to the Potomac 4 minutes out
Tony hears Clint swearing and calling for Laura to get the kids.
'Oh shit', Tony thinks there is kids involved
"Yeh that is what I think to", Tony says
"We need to get out of here", Clint says
"Hawkeye I have an Iron Legion going to your location. As well as my bodyguard Happy Hogan. The Legion will stand guard to Happy gets there and extracts you to the tower", Tony says
"How long Tony?" Clint asks
Tony was surprised at Clint using his first name.
"The Legion will be there in 3 minutes. Happy is an hour away. JARVIS is scrubbing all locations off the web but for some it won't be soon enough. I am currently on my way to the shit storm at the Potomac River", Tony says
"What are they doing there?" Clint asks
"Hellicarrier Triskelion is in engine failure. Over the river. I need to save as many civilizations as possible. And locate that effing idiot Rodgers and absolutely reckless Widow. And the bastard eye patch", Tony growls
"Sir the Iron Legions are taking fire. We have casualties", LEGEND says
Tony swore.
"Do we have causalities yet?" Clint asks rushing
Tony could hear him rushing around his house.
"Yes LEGEND another AI of mine just gave me a report. My Iron Legions are taking fire. And there are several casualties", Tony reports
"Is there anything we can do?" Clint asks
"I have already sent out a message to all undercover Agents and hiding Agents to get to safety, not going to SHIELD known safehouses, and to go to the ports or Stark Industries or the my Safe Houses I gave them or the US Embassy. Told them to have their guns at the ready", Tony says
"What can I do to help?" Clint asks
"Stay with your family Barton! Call Bruce and tell him to get the hell back. We need a Avengers meeting", Tony says
"Got his number?" Clint asks
Tony gives him it.
"I will do it", Clint says, "Your Iron Legion just landed! Thanks Tony. I owe you one"
"If you need more assistance contact me on this channel. Stay safe Barton and your family. So you can kill Rogers and Widow with me", Tony orders
"Oh I want to do that very much. Natasha knew!" Clint growls
"Oh hell. You can have her then more of a betrayal to you. I will take Rodgers", Tony says
"Deal. Stay safe Tony", Clint says
"Will do my best", Tony says hanging up
"Sir Inam scrubbing the data as I can", JARVIS says
"And I am coping it as fast as I can too and putting it on your personal server", STARDUST informs him
"Boss the Hellicarrier Triskelion is struggling", JACOSTA
Tony swore again and put a burst of speed into his suit. Tony finally sees the Triskelion. And there was smoke coming from it. He saw gun fire. He swooped down to the ground.
"JACOSTA put the speakers on", Tony orders
"Speakers online", JACOSTA says
"EVERYONE CLEAR THE AREA. I REPEAT CLEAR THE AREA AS IT IS ABOUT TO GET MESSY. CLEAR THE PERIMETER!", Tony orders
He sees the people scrambling out of the way.
"JOCOSTA talk to me what have we got?" Tony asks soring back up
"Gun man on deck. One man flying around the air on wings. Captain on deck. War Machine is approaching", JACOSTA reports
"Hallelujah something going right today. Connect the com to the War Machine", Tony orders
"Connecting comms Boss", JACOSTA says
"What do you need Tones?" Rhodey asks
"Clear the perimeter below. Make sure everyone is evacuated. I will handle up top", Tony says
"You sure you don't want me up here?" Rhodey asks
"I can handle it. If I can stand against an Alien invasion then this will be a piece of cake", Tony replies
"I will do down below", Rhodey says
Tony swings up top and fires his repulses at the shooting HYDRA/SHIELD Agents.
The true SHIELD Agents see Tony in the Air covering them and nearly let out a cheer. They double there efforts as Iron Man sores through the sky giving them cover and sometimes taking the hit to save a life. Or quickly evacutating them.
"HYDRA Agents on the ground boss", JACOSTA informs them
"Mother fucker. Rhodey did you hear that?" Tony asks
"I copy. I am on it", Rhodey says
Tony says the man flying on wings get on clipped. Tony swore.
"Full power JACOSTA", Tony says
His weapons immediately power up stronger. Tony dives as the man was falling towards the roof of the building below. Tony catches his hand tightly with skillful ease and swings him so he lands on his feet. He sees the man looking at him shocked.
"Captain, Cap come in", he hears the man say, "Are you ok?"
Tony doesn't hear the reply.
"I'm grounded my suit is down. Sorry Cap. But your not going to believe who is he…", the man starts but he stopped as Iron Man opened his Face Plate.
"What the hell is going on here!?" Tony demands his face was like a thunder cloud
"HYRDA. They are going to use the missiles on the carrier to hit the targets below. Cap has to stop it so Agent Hill can take out that Carrier", he says pointing at the one hellicarrier up higher
"Bloody fantastic. Go help War Machine stop HYRDA here on the ground. And stay the hell out of trouble", Tony says as his faceplate slams down as he flies back up
He loops up around the carrier and takes out anyone in his path.
"JACOSTA locate Agent Hills Coms", Tony orders
"Located boss she is communicating with Captain Rogers", JACOSTA says
"Sir the data dump is finishing. I am erasing as fast as I can. But the Iron Legions are under heavy fire. There are casualties and SOS's are coming in fast. Many Past and Present Agents are in trouble and some are dying", JARVIS solemnly
"Call all Stark Security Allies and get them to the Agents sending SOS's. Tell my usual guys overseas I will pay they double for this and to get them to the US safely. If they don't want that hell tell them triple I don't care how much just get it done and tell Pepper what is going on. And have the emergency relief fund activated", Tony growls
"Will be doing so sir", JARVIS replies
"I swear I might be killing Cap when I get him. JACOSTA comms to Hill. Make sure I am not heard yet", Tony orders
Suddenly Hills voice as well as Caps where over his speakers.
"One Minute", Hill says
Tony hears the gun shot through the com. And swears.
"Thirty Seconds Cap", Hill says
More gunshots where heard.
"Stand by", Steve says gasping
Gun shots again.
"Charlie…", Steve starts
Tony hears another gunshot and Steve gasp in pain. Tony swears knowing Cap had been hit.
"JACOSTA emergency vitals from Cap. Locate his chip", Tony says worried and angry
"Gunshot wound to the leg, Gunshot graze wound to the arm, gunshot wound to the abdomen. Broken ribs, Internal Bleeding", JACOSTA reports everything
Tony swears. He needed to finish up on top and get to Steve. He may be angry at him at the moment but he wouldn't let him get killed. Lucky for Steve he was a paranoid bastard so he had all his team members chipped. They didn't even know it. It was small and painless to implant. It would track vitals, report injuries, and track location. In case of kidnapping which happened to him a lot that is why he made the chips. Rhodey wanted some way to find him. After the Mandarin.
"Area is about clear Tones", Rhodey says
"Boss the weapons on the carrier are moving", JACOSTA says
"Rhodey get out of there now", Tony orders
"Doing it", Rhodey says
"Boss weapons locking. Including on the White House, Stark Industies and Stark Tower", JACOSTA says
"Damn. Find me a soft spot", Tony orders when
"Charlie lock", Steve pants
Tony saw the weapons that were going to be fired stand down.
"Ok Cap, get out of there", Hill says
"Fire now", Steve gasps
"But Steve…", Hill says
"Do it!" Steve gasps
"Bloody hell are you suicidal", Tony snarls wanted to swear at him as he weaves around
"Do it now!" Steve gasps
Tony sees the missiles hit the carrier he was pushed off cause. As two explode and starts going down on to the Potomac. His armour taking damage.
"Hill! Where's Steve? You got a location on Rogers?"
Tony hears Romanoff say. He sees the chopper barely escaping getting hit as the third carrier breaks apart.
"ROGERS! STEVE!" Tony shouts getting the coms to connect
Tony doesn't get a reply as the carrier crash down to the ground and into the water.
"Tones! You alright?" Rhodey yells
"I will be when I find Steve he went down with the Carriers", Tony says
"He can't have survived that!" Rhodey says
"He is a Super Solider! And if he didn't survive I will bring him back kill him again. Then bring his body home", Tony snarls
Tony flashes across the sky searching for Steve.
"JACOSTA vitals!" Tony shouts
"Fading boss. Massive damage", JACOSTA reports
"Damn it Rogers!" Tony growls
As he searches.
"JOCOSTA location chip to my position", Tony says desperately
"On screen now boss. There is a small heat signature and another walking away", JACOSTA says
"Concentrate on the one not moving. Log second for later", Tony orders
Tony sees his position to the location of Steve it was a bit down river and across it. He flashes across the bank of the river where the chip said he would be.
"Boss heart rate lowing", JACOSTA says
Tony finally spots Steve laying on the bank wet and looks like none responsive. He sees a figure walking away. Tony pays it no mind he rushes to Steve and lifts his Iron Man faceplate.
"Steve! Rogers wake up", Tony says shaking him
"Heart beat has stopped boss", JACOSTA says
Tony begins chest compressions.
"You are not dying on me Rogers! You owe me and your going to have a talk about stupid stunts like you did for me at the Battle of Manhattan and after the Mandarin. With the money I am going to spend to clean this up. Not that I care about the money", Tony growls
He continues to push his chest.
"JACOSTA pulse?" Tony asks 7 minutes
"It is there boss weak. He needs immediate medical attention", JACOSTA says
"You don't say", Tony mutters
Tony checks the wounds and knew he had to stop the bleeding. He commands his suit to come off and he steps out in his sweats and immediately rips his jacket off and holds it too his stomach. His hands get covered in blood from the stomach wound but he doesn't care. He rips of some of his lower shirt and makes a tourniquet the same with his belt.
"JACOSTA patch me through to Fury or Romanoff or hell even Hill or the Duck I rescued", Tony orders, "This time with sound"
"Patching you through now Boss", JACOSTA replies
"Has anyone got a 20 on Steve?" Natasha asks
"Well Romanoff I have him", Tony says
"Stark!?" three voices ask
"Who were you expecting shooting at the hired HYDRA guns and saying the Winged idiot from plunging to his death? The Easter Bunny? Maybe fucking Father Christmas?" Tony says sarcastically
"Where are you Stark? And what condition is Rogers?" Fury orders
"You don't order me around you bastard after this fucking mess! But since I just had to do chest compressions on Rogers and just got a weak pulse I feeling generous. JACOSTA send them our location and War Machine", Tony orders
There was silence for a minute.
"Rhodey is here? What are Steve's injuries?" Natasha asks
"Well Romanoff. Rhodey is here. We were in the area. I have my people saving your people. Rogers is hanging on by a thread because I am holding pressure to his abdomen. He was a GSW to his leg and abdomen, graze to his arm, broken ribs, he looks like he had the shit kicked and punched out of him AND he nearly drowned. Does that give you a picture?" Tony says angrily
"We are coming Stark. Stay in position. You have some explaining to do", Fury says
"Like I can move!? And I am not the one who needs to effing explain about fucking damning so many of your Agents. Those families won't get their family members back. Bring medics. JACOSTA disconnect", Tony orders before they could reply
Tony presses harder to the abdomen.
"Come on Cap. I have a bone to pick with you. So you don't have permission to die. AGAIN", Tony growls holding pressure
Tony sees the War Machine Armour land on the ground and Rhodey puts his faceplate up and rushes over.
"How is he?" Rhodey asks, "He looks bad"
"He is. The fucking idiot is getting a piece of my mind when I finish cleaning this mess up", Tony growls
"Your going to clean this mess up?" Rhodey asks as he gets out of his armour and helps Tony with the bleeding to the leg
"Who else is going to do it? SHIELD has fallen. Fury probably is going to hide. Natasha better not get in my way for the data dump", Tony says
"You still have that to deal with Tony", Rhodey says
"Well more fucking work for me", Tony growls
They both check Steve for more injuries and try to stop the bleeding finally they see the helicopter land.
"About effing time", Tony growls
On the Helicopter…After Com Call
"He is pissed. I don't think I heard Stark that angry before", Natasha says
"I want to know how he got here", Fury says
"Lets just get to Cap", Sam says worried
"We have the signal", Natasha says showing the screen, "Down river and across"
Fury pilot the Helicopter to the location. Soon they see three figures on the bank. They see the familiar red and gold armour of Stark's. And the bronze coloured armour of War Machine. Fury lands the helicopter and they see both Stark and Rhodey leaning over Cap. With their hands presses to different areas.
"Get the emergency first aid kit and a stretcher", Fury says
They all jump out of the helicopter and grab stuff to help. They see Stark turn to they his eyes where flashing with rage, anger and something else they couldn't tell.
"Well hurry the hell up. Unless you want him to fucking die again", Tony snaps his patience wearing thin from stress and worry
Natasha comes over with the kit and gasps at Steve's face and wounds.
"Don't just stare Romanoff. Get a pressure bandage. My jacket is good and all. But he needs it", Tony snaps
"Of course", Natasha says and hurryingly opens the kit
Sam comes over with Fury with the stretcher.
"He looks bad", Sam says
"His heart wasn't beating when I got here", Tony says, "JACOSTA vitals speaker!"
"Still low boss. But he has lost a lot of blood", JACOSTA replies for everyone to hear
"See now tend to him", Tony snaps
Natasha immediately starts with helping Tony with the pressure bandages and making a proper tourniquet instead of a ripped fabric and belt. Natasha saw Tony had given his jacket and ripped his top at the bottom to save Steve's life. That surprised her considering his rage.
Natasha and Sam quickly tend to his wounds.
"We need to get him on the stretcher", Natasha says
Tony sighs, "Fine I will help with doing this and getting him on the helicopter"
Tony and Rhodey life Steve carefully onto the stretcher. Tony and Rhodey get into their armour and put up the stretcher and gently carry him to the helicopter. They easier but him on.
"Off you go. He needs a hospital right away", Tony says stepping back
"Come with us Stark", Natasha says
"We need a debrief", Fury says
Tony snorts angrily, "Do you honestly fucking think I will come with you now? I have jobs to do. Like cleaning up your fucking mess"
"What do you mean?" Sam asks
"When three helicarriers just crash landed over there that people might, no will, be injured over there. I have all the SOS calls to deal with, check in with the Iron Legions, check the scrubbing of information, get in contact with my security allies, check at the Tower, check my safehouses, get in touch and check the embassy's, I might have a Hulk to contain, oh and another important one is to see if the Barton's are safe! Including a VERY pissed of Hawkeye"
Natasha's eyes widen.
"How do you know about them?" Natasha asks
"It was on the data you realised Widow. Lucky I saw it. Now I have a mess to clean up and you need to get Rogers and flying duck over there to hospital", Tony says
"Name's Sam Wilson. I go by Falcon", Sam says
"I don't care", Tony snaps, "I have a lot to do"
"Stark…", Natasha says
"Save it Romanoff. When Rogers wakes tell him when he gets out he is due for a Avenger meeting. Both of you get to my bloody tower so Barton and I can kick your asses? That's if I am not too busy still cleaning up your mess", Tony growls
"Stark you can't tell anyone I am alive", Fury says
"Yeah well you just compromised and got some of your Agents killed. I not inclined to listen seeing as I am funding the effort to get everyone home dead or alive. Hopefully alive. Which I know is immpossible because JARVIS has told me some have died. NOW. STAY. OUT. OF. MY. WAY. Too fucking Rogers leaves the hospital and you are all back at my Tower. Maybe I will gave calmed down by then", Tony says slamming his faceplate down and taking off
"He is pissed", Sam says
"Can you blame him? He is cleaning up your messes. I am going to help the clean up. Get Rogers out of here", Rhodey says sliding his faceplate down and taking off after Tony
"Come on you, Wilson and Rogers can talk to him later", Fury says starting the helicopter
"I guess your right. But Clint is going to kill me. I didn't know his data was on SHIELDS files you said they wouldn't be", Natasha says to Fury
"Talk about it later. Keep Rogers with us"
With Tony…
Tony tries not to think about the blood on his fingers, Steve's blood, and the emotions running through his mind at the moment. He has to get to work.
"JACOSTA locate Cap's shield. Rhodey can you do a pick up?" Tony asks
"Of course", Rhodey says
"Location made boss", JACOSTA says
Cap was lucky he had all equipment he fixed with a tracer on it.
"Send it too Rhodey", Tony says
"He will be alright Tones. And you are doing your best", Rhodey says as they fly
"Yeh sometimes things aren't good enough", Tony says
"Boss Miss Potts is on the line", JARVIS says, "Your private security are also on the line. A couple of US embassy's are on the line. Followed by Agent Barton who had Mr Hogan get him safely with his family"
"Patch Barton through first. He needs to know what is going on. Pepper is already going to kill me she can wait", Tony says
"Patching you through"
