Chapter 19 Captain America
I know you all want Speed Demons but I have to do some things before that can get updated. Sorry.

I didn't watch the video on the screen. I already knew what it was. Blasted Zemo. He knew it would make Tony turn against Bucky. Watching Bucky kill his parents in cold blood was not the kind of thing that would make them best friends. Especially noting the fact that Tony's eyes were getting a more and more angry look in them.
Skye looked in our direction and frowned slightly. She looked a little nervous, so I guessed she could see a little bit of Tony's face from her angle. That, or she was just nervous because we knew that Zemo was likely around here somewhere and she was expecting something to explode.
Tony looked away from the screen and met my gaze. "Did you know?" he asked quietly.
I didn't respond at first, instead glancing over to Bucky and Skye, who were coming our way cautiously.
"Rogers, did you know?" Tony glared at me.
I looked back at him and nodded slightly. "Yes."
Tony grit his teeth and his helmet folded over his head. He pointed a hand at Bucky and fired. Bucky dove out of the way and Skye darted to one side. She stood on one leg, balancing the tablet on her other leg while typing furiously.
The door far above our heads started to grind open as I threw my shield at Tony. Skye glanced over at Bucky, Tony, and I and quickly darted into a side room. Bucky and I put ourselves between Tony and the room Skye had disappeared into.
Tony pushed us back. Despite his being outnumbered, he was doing a pretty good job of beating the crap out of us. He forced us back through the door.
Tony turned all of his attention to me, knocking my shield out of the way and throwing me back into a wall. Pain ran up and down my spine and my right arm when I landed on it. Bucky shouted and dug the fingers of his metal arm into the suit around Tony's main power. The lights on Tony's palms and helmet flickered.
I thought Bucky had done it for a second, but the section of the suit he was trying to pull out launched a beam of energy. Bucky's metal arm exploded into scraps of metal and he was blasted back. He landed next to me. I rolled onto my side and started to push myself up. Bucky didn't move.
I heard a slow and very deliberate double click of a pump action shotgun being cocked. I looked over and saw Skye holding a black shotgun to her shoulder. She had perfect form and she pointed the gun at Tony's power core. I had no idea where she'd gotten the gun or why she wasn't using the pistol I knew was in her pocket, but I wasn't going to complain since she was helping.
Skye winced every time she took a breath in, but she didn't move otherwise. "Leave us be," Skye growled.
Tony stared at her, I couldn't tell what his expression was with his helmet up, but I could take a guess. I guessed he was probably trying to figure out if he should take her seriously or not.
"Buck didn't blow up the UN building in Vienna," Skye's voice was calm and tight with pain, likely from her broken ribs. "You can take me in for questioning... later."
Tony's helmet folded back and Skye lowered the shotgun a little bit. She had an intense look in her eyes like she was trying to calculate something really fast and she lowered the shotgun a little bit more.
"Where did you get that?" Tony asked incredulously.
"Not important. Will you leave us alone or not?" Skye grit her teeth and hissed.
Tony's expression hardened. "No."
"Fine then. You asked for it." Skye pulled the trigger.
The bang echoed through the small room and I didn't doubt it echoed in the larger room as well. Tony didn't move. It took me a second to realize that was because the power cell was completely ripped apart. With the last of its power, the suit opened up in the back to allow Tony to get out.
Skye dropped the shotgun and doubled over with her arms wrapped around her chest. I forced myself to my feet and started toward her. She looked up and waved me off. "Get Buck. We should leave."
I bent down and pulled Bucky up. I put his arm around my shoulders and started dragging him after Skye, who was already leaving. Tony glared at us as we left but made no move to follow.
Skye led the way back the way we had come. She was leaning against the wall as she walked, the metal that made her jacket making a quiet scraping sound. Bucky had recovered enough that he was walking, but he still leaned most of his weight on me.
We made it all the way to the exit before Skye slid down the wall to sit on the floor. She groaned. Bucky pulled away from me with a worried look on his face and walked unsteadily over to her.
"Skye, are you okay?" Bucky asked. He knelt down and lost his balance as he went to lean on his left arm for support, causing him to fall against the wall next to Skye. I sat down on the floor in front of Skye.
Skye gave both Bucky and I a pained smile. "I suppose now wouldn't be a good time to say I didn't take pain medicine before we left the quinjet?"
I wasn't surprised. There was no way she could have made that shot back in the little room if she'd taken pain killers.
Bucky grinned and started to laugh. Skye looked at him in confusion, then chuckled a little herself. "What on earth is so funny Buck?" she asked.
Bucky shook his head. "Nothing. I'm just really happy none of us are dead."
Skye leaned on Bucky's shoulder. "Me too. I'm also glad neither of you stopped me from taking that crazy shot back there."
"I think we can all agree on that," I said with a smile.
We sat there in silence for a while before Skye pointed out that we should hurry up and leave before Tony fixed his suit.
