You know, in case Barnes gets

stuck to a magnet or something."

"How did this happen?"

"I became distracted," Vision answered regretfully. He watched Rhodes inside the CT-scanner, feeling confused about what he had done. But most of all, he was worried.

"I didn't think that was possible," Tony said. Vision turned to look at him and then cast his gaze onto the floor in guilt.

"Neither did I," he said quietly.

Tony stayed there for a moment as if he had something else he wanted to say, but he pursed his lips and walked away, leaving Vision to watch Rhodey alone.

"The doctors say he shattered L4 through S1," the billionaire told Natasha, "Extreme laceration in the spinal cord. Probably looking at some form of paralysis."

They were standing on a balcony, looking at the row of trees across from the hospital. A beat of silence passed as the words hung in the air between them like a blaring reminder of their consequences.

"Adie's with him," Tony finally said and Natasha looked at him, "You didn't stop her." T'Challa had told him that the teenager had followed Steve onto the Quinjet. He immediately tried to locate her suit, but she had thrown her tracker away at the airport. Tony couldn't understand it. What had made her change her mind? He didn't understand why she didn't just talk to him. What could have possibly made her run off like that and how in the world was he going to find her?

"Steve's not gonna stop," Natasha said, "If you don't either, Rhodey's gonna be the best case scenario."

"You let them go, Nat," Tony said, turning to face her.

"We played this wrong," she argued. Tony chuckled, shaking his head.

"'We'? Boy, it must be hard to shake the whole double agent thing, huh? It sticks in the DNA," he mocked. Natasha felt her face heating with anger as she looked at the billionaire incredulously.

"Are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?" she breathed.

"T'Challa told Ross what you did, so...they're coming for you," Tony said, studying her expression. Natasha didn't look away.

"I'm not the one who needs to watch their back," she said, turning around and walking away. Tony watched her go and then sighed, hanging his head. He turned towards the row of trees again, wondering if he could stay here until his problems solved themselves.

The watch on his wrist lit up, projecting an image of a man who had been very clearly murdered. Apparently not, he thought and then sighed.

"What am I looking at, Friday?" he said.
