A/n: Sorry for the wait, real life was being difficult, hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 6: Oblivion.

There was Carol Danvers and Tony for the first time in months smiled.

There was Captain Marvel and for a moment it meant hope.

Carol read the Accords and agreed that they need some kind of control, she didn't agree in what those Accords propose as a form of control; she was disgusted at the RAFT, but she was willing to compromise.

She also read the new Avengers Initiative, Carol took her time but finally mailed Tony to schedule a date and talk about his proposal together.

"It's not perfect" that was the first thing that Carol said to Tony after introductions and small talk, "But it could be, if you want this to have a go, you will need more supporters"

"I don't think they're willing to talk"

"Nah, they're a just nervous…leave it to me, I'll talk with some of them to read it and give a shot"

Tony didn't like the idea of more people getting his hand in that document before it was presented to the UN, but he asked Carol's opinion and now he was getting a help he sincerely didn't expect and Tony wouldn't be a fool to reject it.

"It will be worthy Mr. Stark"

"Tony, Ms. Danvers, and I hope so"

"Then it's Carol, Tony" She smiled at hind and offered her hand for a handshake.

He was grateful for her cooperation and willingness to read his proposal before deciding.

It was a beginning.

Sometimes he wondered what he did wrong for Steve's reluctance to talk.

There were heroes that didn't want anything to do with the Government, but they accepted to read their proposal. They were willing to compromise in order to satisfy some of his demands.

Some of them wanted to remain anonymous, something Tony was sure General Ross would not approve. But at the end, the Secretary of Defense was not a member of the UN, Tony would sure as hell revoke any position of power from this man on their Initiative.

The RAFT wasn't even in the first draft that they had signed.

"Sometimes my teammates don't tell me things"

Steve Rogers was such a hypocrite.

Sometimes Tony woke up feeling cold and shivering, his body remembering the hours in Siberia until Vision came for him, the suit powerless and making everything colder…the shield in front of him and the sounds of a quinjet going up and going far from there.

"I don't trust a guy without a dark side"

He would have better never trust Steve after all.

One of their first talks with Rhodey was about his parents' death…about why Vision had to go to Siberia for him.

"I understand why he did that, not wait Tony let me finish" His friend admonished when he saw his intention to interrupt, "I understand that he didn't want to hurt you, I do know where he is coming from and Steve didn't do it with malice; but he also didn't do it only for you wellbeing the way I'd have done it…he though about the repercussions of you knowing that it was his friend who murdered them or at least he suspected, he wanted to protect Barnes and that it was something I respect because he was protecting his friend." Rhodey squeezed his shoulder a gave him a sad smile, "What I didn't forgive is that in the way to protect his friend he also hurt another friend, Steve hurt my best friend…and Tony if I've known about your parents, I'd have told you; because I have known you for years and you trusted me to tell you things even if you don't like them, but Cap? He didn't really know you…maybe because he didn't have the intend to do it or simply didn't have the time, he chose wrong and ended causing you pain and for that I can forgive him"

"But you don't have…"

"I don't have to hold a grudge? Maybe but you are my best friend not him and Tony I will always be on your side, you ride with me, remember"

He hugged him like when he founded him in Afghanistan and Tony felt safe like that time, because Rhodey was on his side and if someone know about doing the things right it was his best friend.

"Thank you Honeybear"

"You're welcome Mr. Stank"

He called for a debriefing after hearing Sam's information about To-Stark. Steve couldn't understand Stark's insistence in those Accords, in giving another people, people with hidden agendas, the control; the power that they hold was dangerous and in the wrong hand it could be devastating.

They were still the safest option, they knew about their weakness and how to calm each other in case of emergency. As a team they could go to missions where they were needed without waiting a committee giving them the order and with that losing the lifes they were supposed to protect.

"Stark likes to play being God and deciding what it's the best for everyone, without hearing our opinions with him backstabbing his teammates without care" Clint said bitterly, "Didn't really surprise me that he is still promoting those damn Accords"

"They're different, a new Avengers Initiative or so he is saying" Sam specified with a serious expression, "We need to get a copy of that Initiative even if we won't sign it, only to know what kind of deal they are offering to the UN and whichever accepted the document"

"Whatever he is proposing it didn't change the fact that the control is in hands of the UN, a new name and more specifications don't make it different from its predecessor" Steve declared with a sour face, "They still wanted us as their attack dogs"

Wanda was silent watching her teammates discuss the contents of this new proposal, all them sporting the same range of emotions from bitterness to anger, talking in circles about the same things. It was a little tiring, after months of hearing them complain and they being stranded here it was exhausting. She changed of jail from the Avengers Complex, the RAFT and now Wakanda; Wanda wondered if Cap saw it as that.

Someone put Stark interview in the TV of the conference room and begun to whisper trying to dissect Stark's corporal gives.

"You know, Hank (the guy that invented my suit) told me to never trust a Stark" Scott begun in apropos of nothing, "But I know Stark's work, y'know, in my sting as thief I had never encounter better security than his, only with the suit I was able to pass some of the more difficult defenses of the A-Complex, so if he was really involved in the RAFT thing, why Steve was able to free us"

'Maybe because he didn't have an idea about that prison' Wanda guessed, or 'maybe because he let them as a penance or something', but the last didn't went well with what she saw the last time. Stark was disconcerted seeing they there, she wasn't able to use her powers but she could read his corporal behavior; Wanda knew better Stark after the month working together.

There were a lot of thing they didn't know.

"We will have to wait for Natasha or his Highness for more information then" Wanda said.

Scott nodded next to her.

There were a lot of things that he couldn't tolerate; one of them was not being in control and in that moment it what was happening.

Stark and his dumb proposal was making his work harder, giving hopes to those all unruly vigilantes. That man didn't know what he was playing with, all that power and without control? Bad idea; just like the Hulk or now Captain America.

Those vigilantes needed someone who knew what to do, they couldn't go unsupervised, they were weapons and as that they need to be registered, studied and put in an optimal function considering its abilities.

They lived to serve them, those who had to rely in their powers…so those who had the experience need to be in control; not some loose canon like Tony Stark. The UN needed to put in charge someone with experience like him, General Ross, he who had the temple to follow the Accords as it said, without all that sentimentality that the law mustn't have.

He needed to take care of Tony Stark and he would do it, for the good of the World, of course.
