       [center]Tony opens his mouth, about to say something, Steve just
       waiting to hear what other idiotic things he has to say before
       the intercom comes on again, Maria warning them about AIM.
       Damnit. Really? AIM, right now?
       Tony stands up as if he's about to go somewhere, talking about
       being a drunken idiot, before actually telling him to get his
       team because he's coming. Stark really is out of his damn mind.
       The man's drunk and can barely even say a full sentence without
       almost slurring every word. He's not focused, and he's
       definitely not fit for battle. He can't lead in this state,
       it'll put too many people in danger (not to mention, himself).
       "No," Steve says, voice low, staring at Stark, ready to pin him
       against the wall if he makes another move towards the door. "I
       will assemble my team, Stark, but you're staying here until you
       sober up," he warns, going towards the door. "You're not fit for
       battle, and until you are, I'm in charge," he tells him, turning
       on Tony's intercom to call his team to the Quinjet.[/center]

       [size=10pt]Tony scowls at Steve as he refuses to let Tony go, as
       if he has the power to stop Tony. He tells Tony that he's not
       fit for battle and that, for the time being, he's in charge. He
       reaches for the intercom, but Tony's there in a second, pinning
       his wrist down, and leans in close, fire burning in his eyes.
       "You don't get to make the call of who's in charge, Commander.
       This is me giving a damn, and doing something about it. I
       thought that was what you wanted?
       "I'm getting the suit. I will meet you in Manhattan. You can't
       do a thing about it." He takes a step back and lets go of
       Steve's wrist, something of a challenge in his eyes, daring
       Steve to stop him. He won't lie and say that he's not doing this
       to piss Steve off, won't say that it's not because Steve is
       pulling the you-told-me-to card and he can do the exact same
       thing, but he cares about the team, and about the world -- it's
       just that nobody seems to believe that.[/center]

       [center]Steve is shocked when Tony suddenly comes over and pins
       his wrist to the wall, preventing him from calling his team, his
       face close, anger in his eyes. He knows it would be so easy to
       just throw Tony back against the opposite wall, or to just
       release himself from his grasp, but he wants to hear what Stark
       has to say, because he might think he's threatening, but Steve
       doesn't find a man who wreaks of alcohol threatening at all,
       just plain pathetic (and sad).
       Stark says that he's not in charge, that this is him giving a
       damn, and Steve suppresses a dark laugh, because if this is
       Stark giving a damn, they're more doomed than he had originally
       thought. Then Stark says he's going to go get his suit and meet
       him in Manhattan and there's nothing he can do about. The hell
       he can't. And Tony then lets go of his wrist, taking a step
       back.
       "You're a damn fool, Stark. You going out like this is only
       going to get you killed," he warns him before realizing that
       what he had just said actually makes it sound like he cares.
       "You know what, Stark? Forget it. Get yourself killed because
       you're an idiot, I don't care," Steve growls, pressing the
       intercom and calling his team to the Quinjet. "Meet you there in
       five," he says shortly before leaving the room, actually
       thinking that he wouldn't mind if Stark got hurt.[/center]

       [size=10pt]Tony looks like he's a little confused, caught
       between surprise and anger as Steve makes it seems like he
       actually cares, and then, promptly, doesn't. He ends up deciding
       it doesn't matter, anyways, because Steve only acts like he
       cares half the time because it's his job, because that's just
       what he does -- but when it comes down to, when he sees who he's
       actually sticking his neck out for, well, that's when things
       changed.
       Steve stalks out of the room, and Tony nearly clumps against the
       wall, the conversation's exhausted him so much. But he can't
       exactly not show up -- god knows how condescending Steve will be
       if he doesn't. So Tony straightens up, calls the suit, and hopes
       that he doesn't pass out while he's fighting. He may not quite
       be a drunk yet, or an idiot, but he is kind of an idiot when
       he's drunk.[/center]

       [center]Steve doesn't mention Tony's condition to anyone else
       once they board the Quinjet, although he thinks he should, just
       so they could... keep an eye on him, maybe. He's not really sure
       why he feels like he should tell them, really, because if Tony
       wants to be an idiot and try to fight AIM while drunk, then so
       be it, let him get hurt and let that be a lesson to him.
       They arrive in lower Manhattan to find AIM members everywhere,
       dressed in there yellow suits, firing their weapons every which
       way and just wreaking havoc.
       "I don't understand, what's their motive?" Sam asks, staring
       down at the destruction AIM is causing.
       "I don't know, but it's AIM. Whatever they're up to, it's no
       good," Steve tells him, T'Challa lowering the Quinjet to the
       ground and opening it's bridge so they can get out. Sam
       immediately follows after Steve, going back to the days where he
       was basically his sidekick, following him into battle. Right
       away, AIM is everywhere, ganging up on them and firing their
       weapons, and Sam was right to ask what their motives were
       because, as of now, it doesn't look like they really have one at
       all except to kill.  [/center]

       [size=10pt]Though he can feel the wind, and doesn't get very
       chilly, flying through the air has somewhat of a sobering effect
       on Tony. It's easier to fly in a straight line, however, when
       JARVIS is the one automatically correcting you if you drift too
       far one way or another. Either way, they get to the site without
       incident. There aren't many civilians in the area, but it's a
       mess that would be easier not to clean up. Tony flies ahead of
       the rest of the team, firing his repulsors and smoothly dodging
       what's thrown at him. He's not fighting like he's drunk -- he
       feels kind of warm and fuzzy, but his reaction time is barely
       delayed and is mostly compensates for by the warning already on
       his screen.
       Ten minutes in, when a few goons are closing in on Rogers, Tony
       lands right next to him and kicks an opponent, sending him
       sprawling backwards. "So, I'm going to get myself killed? Are
       you counting on that, Commander?" he mocks, firing another
       blast.
       "That doesn't look good," Clint remarks, as something that looks
       very much like a bomb casing is blasted into the sky. It rockets
       straight upwards, and Tony's already flying.
       "I've got it," he says, glancing at the HUD. It does appear to
       be some kind of explosive, but Tony guesses that the shock wave
       will probably do the real damage if they're shooting it this
       high up. A little closer, and he can fry the controls... a
       little higher...
       The shell explodes, suddenly, without any warning, and a noise
       like a cranked-up bass resonates from the impact, knocking Tony
       back. His ears ringing, it takes him a second to realize that
       the wave hasn't just knocked him back -- it's rendered the suit
       entirely inert. "JARVIS?" The wind is whistling past him, the
       HUD is blank, and he's falling, rapidly. "Wake up, J, come on.
       JARVIS. JARVIS." The ground is coming increasingly closer,
       getting bigger and bigger, wide and flat and hard. The second
       before Tony hits, he realize he might actually be about to
       die.[/center]

       [center]Steve fights back to back with Sam almost the whole time
       until Sam tells him he's going to a different area, spreading
       his wings and going his own way. A few more goons come over, and
       Steve takes them down with no problem before more take their
       place. It's just busy work to Steve, but it's still a serious
       situation, and Steve's trying to keep an eye on the team as he
       fights, making sure all of them are okay. The only one he can't
       see though, is Stark, which... does set him off a little.
       Suddenly, Stark's next to him, kicking away an AIM goon and
       firing some repulsor blasts. Steve doesn't even have time to
       sign or roll his eyes as Stark mocks him, asking if Steve's
       counting on him to get killed. Right now, Steve's main concern
       is stopping AIM, not crossing his fingers for Stark's demise. He
       has his team to worry about, and AIM to worry about, and Tony is
       neither one of those things.
       Clint's voice comes over the comm, saying something doesn't look
       good, and Steve collides his shield with the head of a goon
       before looking at Clint to see what he's talking about. Clint's
       looking up, and Steve's eyes dart up to see something that
       resembles a bomb. He places his finger over the comm, about to
       tell the team to stay clear of it, but Stark's already saying
       that he's got it, flying up towards it.
       "Stark!" Steve yells after him, the sound of a blast coming
       towards him. He dodges it, throwing his shield and looking back
       up at Stark just in time to see the bomb explode, knocking Tony
       back. Steve stares as Tony starts plummeting down, and he
       wonders why Stark's not flying, but soon realizes that Iron
       Man's eyes and repulsors aren't glowing... and neither is the
       outside reactor.
       "Sh*t," he curses, and tries to use the comm to tell Falcon to
       stop Tony's fall, but the comms aren't working, and Tony
       crashes. Steve curses again, everything almost a blur as he
       rushes over to Stark's side, ripping off his faceplate. Tony's
       eyes are closed and he's not responding. Quickly, Steve starts
       ripping the suit apart, his own heart beating so loud he could
       almost hear it. The chest plate is the first thing Steve rips
       off, and he freezes when he sees that the arc reactor isn't
       glowing.
       "I need backup over here!" Steve shouts, hands on Tony's chest.
       He doesn't know what to do... he has never dealt with anything
       like this before. "Where's Maria?" he yells, eyes searching for
       the woman. He puts his hear over Tony's heart, and still hears
       it beating, but it's slowing, and Steve's starting to panic.
       They need a back up reactor. They need something. All their tech
       has been shutdown, and Stark... Stark can't die.[/center]

       [size=10pt]Maria had watched Stark fall, fast, and hit the
       ground hard. She running as soon as she hears her name being
       called -- the comms aren't working, but she can hear Steve's
       bellow even from where she is. When they're close enough, she
       drops to her knees beside Steve, examining. Stark lays,
       unconscious, half his armor ripped off (courtesy of Rogers,
       she's sure), with a curiously unlit expanse of chest. The shape
       of the reactor can be seen clearly through Stark's shirt, but
       it's not glowing, which means it's not on.
       "What are we supposed to do about that?" Maria says. The
       Commander seems... upset. A bit odd, since he possibly hates
       Stark more than she does. "Jump start it?" assuming there's
       anything electronic within the vicinity still working. She taps
       against her earpiece, but receives no kind of feedback.
       "There's a flare on the Quinjet," Clint pipes in, as he runs
       over. He looks suddenly unsure, glancing at the unconscious form
       of Stark with something like fear. "I can go get that?"[/center]

       [center]Steve doesn't know why he's so desperate, clutching onto
       Tony like he's the one dying. Maria, thankfully, comes over when
       he calls, dropping to her knees beside him and observing the
       damage. She asks what they're suppose to do about that, meaning
       the arc reactor, and Steve feels so useless, staring at her,
       waiting to see if she has an answer to her own question. They
       need an idea and fast.
       Maria suggests a jump start, and hope returns to Steve's eyes,
       looking back down at Tony and ripping open his undersuit to
       expose his chest, the arc reactor dead inside of it. He hears
       Clint says there's a flare in the Quinjet, and says he can go
       get it, but it's more of a question. Tony doesn't have enough
       time for questions.
       "Yes, go get it," he orders, waving Clint away. "Just do
       something," he goes on before looking at Tony's face, all
       peaceful and relaxed. "I can't just let him die," Steve finds
       himself saying, not even caring anymore. This wasn't what he
       wanted. He never really wanted anything like this to happen.
       Steve would never really wish death upon Stark, no matter how
       much he thinks he despises him.[/center]

       [size=10pt]Tony thinks he hears a distress flare going off. He
       doesn't understand why. Are they in distress?
       He opens his eyes, body convulsing, before he turns over and
       expels anything still left in his stomach. It burns terribly
       coming up, likely as a result of the alcohol, and Tony feels
       like his throat is on fire. His head, though, is the worst of
       it, and possibly what made him throw up in the first place. When
       he's done, he collapses onto his back, shaking. His chest aches,
       and he feels almost unbearably cold. It's only then that he
       realizes that there are people staring at him, and he's got half
       his suit ripped off of him. He looks down at himself.
       His under-suit is ripped open. The reactor's light is gone.
       "What did you do to me?" Tony demands, his hand flying up. He
       clicks the reactor out of place, and twists it back in. Nothing.
       He looks up at Steve with something like fury and, mostly
       undoubtedly, fear. "What the hell did you do to me?!"[/center]
