STEVE'S POV

It was hurtful to walk out like this.
But I had to protect him, I had to protect myself.

When I was changing my clothes earlier I received an anonymous call.

Flashback on

"Hi, Steve"

A strange voice echoed through the phone.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter, I know your little secret"

"I don't know who you are and I'm not comfortable with your jokes, good bye"

"How would America feel if they knew that CAPTAIN fucking AMERICA, their hero, it's iron man's lover, I don't know if everyone would accept it well"

"Who do you think they would believe? Me or you? I don't even know who you are and you're talking nonsense"

Steve was starting to feel really uncomfortable and stressed with this conversation.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I clamped your best friend's phone, she's a beauty, I must say, don't know how you prefer this guy over her. Anyway, I have control of her, of you and if you care about your life and your lover's life you would do what I say"

"And what do you want? Please don't hurt them"

"I'll send you the coordinates"

He hung up and right after Steve received a message.

Come alone to this address. Don't say anything to anyone, or I'll destroy your and your beloved ones'. Don't come in your uniform.

FLASHBACK OFF

Steve didn't know who was it,but he didn't want to risk. He went all the way to the address with a hole on his chest, he didn't want to leave Stark like that.

"I'll talk to you later, I'm sorry" - Steve sent to Tony.

He took a deep breath and got into the old shed.

------x------

Stark was still drinking and fixing his armor in the workshop, he just looked at his phone when he saw Steve's message, but even if he wanted to, he didn't reply.

Everyone was trying to talk to him to see how he was , but right now there was just one person he wanted to talk to.

After an hour he Received another message from Steve.

Please, I'm at your door tell JARVIS to let me in. I wanna talk to you.

Tony took a deep breath.

"JARVIS, open the door to Mr Rogers, please. Tell him I'm in my workshop"

"Yes,sir"

He didn't like to let anyone in his workshop, but it was Rogers.

Tony came back to fixing the armor, while waited for Steve.

He felt strong arms hug him from behind. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back on his shoulder, when he opened his eyes to look at Steve.

It was not Steve.

Before Tony could think or do anything the strange man behind him and put something on Stark's head that made him stop moving.

Tony knew what was it, it happened before.

The strange man sat Tony on the couch, Tony couldn't move.

"My name is Kevin. Kevin Stand. I think you knew my father, I think you know this"

He showed Tony the small device that Tony made himself when Stark's industries still made those weapons, and this young man's father had used it on Tony once. He was Obadiah Stane's son.

"You'll die, miserable, like my father did when you killed him, he was the best for your company. The world would be better with those weapons, you made the wrong choice, but good for you I'm here to clean up your mess, and give it back to the world."

He ripped the Arch Reactor off Tony's chest.

"  Oh yeah, I smashed all your cameras so it could be more interesting, and JARVIS is taking a nap now. You are probably wondering how I learned to do all of this, turns out I learned a lot of things from you, Stark. My father was not so smart and didn't use all of the resources he had in the right way, but I can."

He smashed the phones too.

"Before I leave just let me take a picture of you like this, miserable. The powerful Mr Stark not so powerful. Don't worry, I'll make sure your lover will find you to watch you die."

Then he left Tony agonizing.
