I Am Iron Man

Chapter 5

"So. Whoever is behind this is taking out the team." I said.

"I suppose, but why?" said Fury.

"I have an idea." I'll call you when I get something.

I ran out of the HQ and put on my suit. It fits conveniently in my pocket. I zoomed back to my tower.

"JARVIS, where are the files from the Avengers Initiative?" I said.

"In the file cabinet downstairs sir."

I ran down there and found Steve Rodgers' folder. I flipped through it and found his apartment address.

"JARVIS. Lets go." I said and flew to his apartment.

I took off my suit and knocked on his door and there was a long pause. Finally, Steve opened the door.

"Hello Tony." he said

"Steve. Can we talk?" I said.

"Of course. Come on in."

"Do you know anything about your super soldier serum. Like any turn ups lately?" I asked.

"Want some coffee or anything?" Steve said.

"No," I said getting annoyed. "but have you heard anything?"

"I'm afraid I haven't. Have you?" he said a bit cautiously.

"Actually, I have. I went to the lab the other day and I saw Banner there. Any ideas why?" I said

"hm. maybe trying to find a cure?" he said.

"I don't think so." I paused then continued, "Well, I'll let you go."

I started towards the door when Steve collapsed on the floor.

"Steve?" I said.

No answer.

"Jarvis. Lets get him back to my lab. And call Fury back."

Back at my lab, I hooked him up.

"Nick Fury is here, sir." Jarvis told me

"Send him in." I replied

"Already here. So what's wrong with Cap?" He said.

"I'm not sure yet. I took a sample of blood and the results are coming through now."

I looked at the computer as the results appeared.

"Sir, someone is-" Jarvis started.

"Jarvis?" I asked.

"I am being overrun." Jarvis said then faded to static.

"What's going on here?" Nick said.

"Tony!" a deep voice said coming out of no where. "You know, I really hate curious people. So, I'm gonna have to take those lab results from you! Sorry for the inconvenience, but I doubt the two of you will remember our little talk."

"Stark, turn him off!" Nick said.

"Ha ha. You're funny Fury." the voice said. "Rogers! Lets get you out of here."

Steve then woke up and got out of the chair.

"Steve! Stop!" I said.

"Sorry, Tony. I can't-" Steve started.

"Shut up, soldier! Now attack them!" the voice said again.

I saw despair in his eyes just for a second; then he lunged at us with a syringe in his unwilling fist.
