A/N: Canon Compliant until the end of The Avengers. Not and never will be IM3, 'Thor:the Dark World', 'Captain America: the Winter Soldier' or 'Agents of SHIELD' compliant. English spelling. Work in Progress
Summary:

After the Battle of Manhattan, with their enemies defeated, the Avengers have scattered. Only Tony Stark remains in New York, playing his own part in dealing with the consequences.

Steve Rogers has been searching for an America that no longer exists. His return to the East Coast will also have unexpected consequences.

But formidable forces are moving to use or destroy members of the Avengers, and Tony's plans for his technology have panicked industry, government and other, more secretive, players...

In this chapter: Tony and Steve have chosen to assist T'Challa in regaining his kingdom and defeating their joint enemies.

But they are about to find out just how dangerous a place Wakanda can be, particularly when armour and shield have been left behind in New York.

Some extra reassurance because some people may find the ending of this chapter upsetting:
Repeat: there is no major character death. Also, remember you have been promised Steve/Tony and we are not quite there yet.

Chat Time!

It is time for the official chat of the week! Today is the last day of RBB posting(excluding those that got extensions) and the Big Bang signups are still open. Wednesday there was a lot of great discussion, but today try to check if anyone in the chat minds spoilers before you start talking about it.

With Winter Soldier and Original Sin, both 616 and MCU fandoms are full of angst and woe these days. This is good as well as bad for everyone's feels. I know I've been reading my MA trades and other happy fics I've got bookmarked to cope with all the sad stuff. How are the rest of you cooping? Are you reveling in the angst and despair or are you clutching your happy moments and waiting out the sad times for the happy ending like me?

Regardless if you are interested in stuff I've mentioned or if you have other things relevant to Cap-Ironman Comm's interests to talk about come hang out and chat with us! Lurkers are welcome as well. :P

Next weeks chat will be on Sunday. Also, remember that you can log into the irc channel at any point during the week. Normally, there will be other people around.

The #cap-im IRC channel is on DALnet. If you’re using a regular irc client the server is irc.dal.net and the channel is #cap-im. There is three different options below of web clients. If one doesn't work try a different one.

Got to https://kiwiirc.com/client. Type in the nickname you wish to use. The channel name is #cap-im. There will be a little blue link that opens up the server and network info. Click on that and enter irc.dal.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Here is an example of what it looked like when I filled it out.


Teyke found yet another web client option if the two above aren't working. Go to http://www.wsirc.com/ and fill out the box to the right like Teyke's example below.


Last chat there were a few people who were able to get the http://www.dal.net/ web client working, so I've added it back here. Under Chat Now fill in your nickname and #cap-im.

(Due to extenuating circumstances, there is no master post for art on this story, just a link to the draft from the story notes. I didn't feel comfortable leaving a thumbnail of the artist's unfinished draft here until such time in the future that they may be able to complete it.)
