Avengers/Tron crossover plot bunny up for adoption

Hi, hi, how y'all doing? Me, I'm a little sick, but whatever. Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, Marvel and Disney merged, and as a result, when Tron: Legacy was released in theaters, someone was commissioned to draw legit, Tron!costumed covers for several comics, including Captain America.

Don't believe me? Check it out.


AWESOME, yes? They also did Spidey and Ghost Rider. But anyways! I saw this pic, and had a massive plot bunny burst to life in my brain. Unfortunately, because I am sick, the idea immediately dwindled into fragmented images, which I offer to anyone interested as an adoptable plot bunny.

CAP is a anti-viral program written by Howard Stark in the early days of computers by the government, but was hacked or something and supposedly derezzed and decommissioned. Decades later, Howard's son Tony finds a backup copy of the CAP program on an old floppy disk or something, and upgrades/fixes his coding to be more modern. Tony names the upgraded program STV, or something.

There's a few story gaps, but...uh...insert Tron-ified Avengers Villian Name here...Red Skull! The evil virus program RD-SKL, which was what derezzed the original CAP program, is infiltrating the Stark Industry computers in the next step to take over the world's interweb. Tony uploads his STV program to combat the menace, but somehow gets digitized himself and sent to the Grid. There he meets Steve, who knows Tony as Ironman, which is his username. Together, they defeat the evil RD-SKL program, with Steve's awesome Disk-Slinging fighting abilities and Tony's User-powers of Ultimate System Hacking.

And because I am all for it, Tony starts falling in love with Steve, and perhaps vice-versa, and there is maybe new definitions to be had for the idea of Cybersex, yes?

And maybe we take it further into concepts from Tron: Legacy; Tony has to leave the Grid, but comes back often to visit Steve, and eventually comes up with a way to digitize Steve into the real world like they did with Quorra in Legacy.

And if you want extra squee, check out the other Tron!hero covers that diablo2003 did and add them in as support characters. Spider-Man could totally be a RAM-character type, and Ghost Rider could be Rinzler-esk.
I now get on my hands and knees and BEG someone to write this little plot bunny of mine, because it would be SO COOL. I only wish there would be an actual Tron crossover.

And if anyone knows if similar prompts to this one have already been written, please rec them!

Thank you; I shall go lay down now and sleep my illness off. (And if this is out of line, I'll delete it.)

I think I once requested a generic Avengers/Tron mash up fic on a kink meme but it was never filled. Those covers alone convinced me that a fusion fic could be epic! I mean come on, Tony would love the Grid. And imagine Cap on a light cycle!

Someday, my years long writers block will cave and I'll be able to have a field day with awesome prompts like this.

Seriously though, I can't believe I've never seen this done yet. There's so much potential in it.

I'm at 6, which is terrifying honestly. I love writing and I miss it so, but I can't get anything but 1~2 lines to come out anymore. I've got a friend attempting to help me through it a bit, though who knows how it'll go.

But yes, I get so many thoughts/ideas and I weep because I can't ever get them to paper.

I don't think I could write this, but WANT. NOW.


Pretty please someone?

I am also waiting impatiently for this epic fic!

Here is more pretty art I found for it too. I found them on some image board somewhere, so I don't know the artists, but...

My icon just gave me an idea: Tron!Venom !!! He would be such an awesome virus or something...

Forgive my Venom fangirling, sometimes it's hard to separate Marvel into its subfandoms in my head.
