"There are five of us and one of you," Steve told him. "What makes you think we'd surrender just because you have a red flashing button?"
Oh, Steve. In modern warfare, buttons are the most dangerous things there are.
The power core set in the center of Iron Man's chest plate dimmed noticeably, and he put one hand to his chest. "Oh, come on."
I had to laugh here. *grins* I could just hear the tone of Tony's voice on that line. Talk about unfortunately timing!
"Kill me. Condemn all of us to death. It doesn't matter. Whatever you do, I've still won. While you spent sixty years in a block of ice, I survived Germany's defeat, seized Vespugia for my own, and made sure that my Furher's dream, that my dream, lives on. I've ruled this country for forty years, raised it from the dust, molded it in my image, and made it great. Kill us all now, and I will leave behind a country, a son, a grand legacy, while you," he spat, "are still going to die at twenty five."
The saddest part is, this is only the factual truth. I mean, besides the dyring at twenty-five. But as much as I like that Steve was frozen so that he could meet Tony, he lost so much time, and pretty much every aspect of his life.
"Wait, you won?" Nick grinned, sticking the cigar back in his mouth. "Why didn't ya say so? That, I can work with."
*snickers* Ah, Nick. We love you, too.
Nick shrugged. "Trust me, the only parts the administration is going to hear are the magic words 'terrorist act' and 'weapons of mass destruction.'"
That was the third time someone had used that phrase. It wasn't one Steve was familiar with, though the meaning was obvious - from the way everyone kept repeating, it must have some significance he wasn't picking up on. A political slogan, maybe, or something from a propaganda film or famous speech?
Ahh, this makes me sad for the state of government and politics today...
Throughout Tony's collapse, I just kept meeping over and over again, because we know what's happening, but they didn't, and it seemed to take so long to figure out! I mean, it's all made sense, but...meep!
Steve felt his heart turn over in his chest. He had known the truth for the past week, but now, looking at Tony's colorless face and hearing the way he was gasping for air, he wished that he had been wrong.
Meeeeep! *own heart clenching* Also, this is an oddly shippy moment. :-D
It's like a transistor, a computer chip, a car battery, and a set of Tesla coils had an orgy.
