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: No longer believing that there is any hope that Steve is still alive, Tony arrives back in New York to confront more legal complexities -- and Pepper.
Some extra reassurance:
Repeat: no major character death. Also, you have been promised Steve/Tony and we are not quite there yet.Read
