Nobodies POV

Later.

Steve and Stark are chopping wood outside Barton's house. Vanya was seated not that far, watching them.

"Thor didn't say where he was going for answers?" Tony ask

"Sometimes my teammates don't tell me things. I was kind of hoping Thor would be the exception." Steve says

Vanya silently ohhhs. "He went there." Vanya teases

Tony sends her a look, shaking his head.

"Yeah, give him time. We don't know what the Maximoff kid showed him." Tony says "Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Pulled us apart like cotton candy." Steve says

"Seems like you walked away all right." Tony says "Is that a problem?" Steve ask "I don't trust a guy without a dark side. Call me old fashioned." Tony says

"Well let's just say you haven't seen it yet." Steve says "You know Ultron is trying to tear us apart, right?" Tony ask "Well I guess you'd know. Whether you tell us is a bit of a question." Steve says

"Banner and I were doing research." Tony says "That would affect the team." Steve says

"That would end the team. Isn't that the mission? Isn't that the why we fight, so we can end the fight, so we get to go home?" Tony ask

Steve grabs a log and he pulls it apart, grunting.

Vanya lifts an eyebrow. "Am I the only one who was turned on by that." Vanya asks

Steve ignores her while Tony snorts. Leave it to Vanya to lighten the mood.

"Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time." Steve says

Laura interrupts them.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Stark, uh, Clint said you wouldn't mind, but, our tractor, it doesn't seem to want to start at all. I thought maybe you might..." Laura says

"Yeah, I'll give her a kick." Tony says

To Steve as he turns to leave; referring to his pile of chopped wood.

"Don't take from my pile." Tony says

Steve turns to Vanya. "You have a problem Vanya." Steve says amused.

Vanya shrugs. "I see something hot, I'm not going to be subtle about." Vanya teases

Steve chuckles, shaking his head.

....

Stark enters the barn and walks over to the tractor.

"Hello, Deere. Tell me everything. What ails you?" Tony ask

Suddenly Fury shows up from the other end of the barn. "Do me a favor. Try not to bring it to life." Fury says

"Ah, Mrs. Barton, you little minx. I get it, Maria Hill called you, right? Was she ever not working for you?" Tony ask "Artificial intelligence. You never even hesitated." Fury says

"Look, it's been a really long day, like, Eugene O'Neill long, so how's about we skip to the part where you're useful?" Tony ask

"Look me in the eye and tell me you're going to shut him down." Fury says "You're not the director of me." Tony says

"I'm not the director of anybody. I'm just an old man, who cares very much about you." Fury says "And I'm the man who killed the Avengers. I saw it. I didn't tell the team, how could I? I saw them all dead, Nick. I felt it. The whole world, too. It's because of me. I wasn't ready. I didn't do all I could." Tony says

"The Maximoff girl, she's working you, Stark. Playing on your fear." Fury says

"I wasn't tricked, I was shown. It wasn't a nightmare, it was my legacy. The end of the path I started us on." Tony says

"You've come up with some pretty impressive inventions, Tony. War isn't one of them." Fury says

"I watched my friends die. You'd think that'd be as bad as it gets, right? Nope. Wasn't the worst part." Tony says

"The worst part is that you didn't." Fury says.
