Title: When the Lights Go On Again 16/20
Authors: seanchai and elspethdixon
Rated: PG-13
Pairings: Steve/Tony, Hank/Jan, Carol/Wanda
Warnings: This chapter contains references to torture.
Disclaimer: The characters and situations depicted herein belong to Stan Lee and Marvel comics. No profit is being made off of this derivative work. We're paid in love, people.
Summary: Aliens have invaded earth, and the Avengers are scattered. While Steve leads the resistance, Tony once again finds himself playing captive scientist. In the midst of a violent alien regime, separated by seemingly insurmountable boundaries, Steve and Tony have nothing to keep themselves going but each other.
A/N #1:The point in volume three that we're branching off from was originally published around '98-'99, but since Marvel time runs at a slower speed than real world time, early volume three is probably four or so years ago in canon time. Hence 2004 and troops in Iraq.
A/N #2: I'm sorry to say, but for the duration of April, we're going to have to revert to posting every other week, so that we can work on our Big Bang fic. Since we hate to do that, if anyone wants to drabble-prompt me, I'll try to write you someting short.

Also, this fic owes a great deal to tavella, who helped us to shape this into something that didn't have gaping plot holes.

Canon question: Tony's armor-in-a-briefcase

[m-steelgrave.livejournal.com]

This question came to mind while in the process of catching up on half a century of canon (yikes): back when Tony was still carting his Iron Man armor in a briefcase, was there ever a time in which danger threatened, but he couldn't reach the case and his armor in time? Because really, Marvel seems to have gone to a lot of trouble to explain HOW the suit fit into the case, but I have yet to come across an instance in which Tony just simply couldn't get to it.
