Hello readers! Thank you so much for continuing to read this, it means a lot. I realized that I have almost 100 likes a couple days ago (🤯) so I starting writing a page every night and finally I finished the nest chapter! Sorry that I am so slow at updating, but it really motivates me when people comment on the story. Now I will stop blabbering and let you get onto the chapter! 

Tony's POV

Tony lunged at the man flipping down his visor as he did so. He grabbed the man's shoulders and shoved him into the ground. Ignoring the man hiss of pain as his right shoulder hit the ground. Paramedics around him let out gasps of surprise but none would raise a hand against Iron Man.

"What were you doing in the building?" Iron Man said his voice coming out deep and robotic through the suits speakers.

"You'll never know, and I'll never tell." The man coughed out between gritted teeth.

"Tell me and maybe you will get to spent the rest of your life behind bars"

"It's time for me to rejoin my family, it's time for you to be behind bars," And before Tony knew what was happening, the hydra agent let out a blood curdling scream and started begging loudly.

"Please don't do this, I am innocent, please!" the man sobbed and Tony was frozen with confusion, what was happening? Then it hit him like a blow to the head. This man was trying to frame him.

"Stop it" Tony growled, giving the man a shake. But it was too late, the hydra agent reached up and pressed the hydra emblem on his suit. Tony heard a dull click and the man screamed again then started crying with more vigor. The Hydra agent started to shake, convulsing in painful spasms. His mouth started to foam producing a viscous goop. Paramedics rushed to the man and shoved Tony out of the way, caring no more about what Tony would think of them. One put their hands on the agent's chest and started ammerisering CPR, but it was useless, Tony knew this type of poison. It was lethal, fast acting, and very deadly.

"Jarvis, is there any cure for cyanide?" Tony barked into his helmet.

"Yes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride is one of the known cures for cyanide."

"Is there any way to get that around here?"

"Unfortunately not, Sir."

Tony swore, then looked up as he heard a commotion behind him. In the parking lot of the recently burning building was a group of reporters. They had cameras ready pointing toward where Tony stood. Tony silently cursed himself. Of course reporters would have come to see Iron Man save a burning building, instead they witness Iron Man killing an innocent man. The reporters shuffled and muttered amongst themselves. Finally one braver than the rest strode forwards and shoved a recorder in his face.

"Is it true that you just killed that man?"

"What, no-" Tony tried to say but was cut off by a barrage of reporters shoving mics in his face and peppering him with a series of questions.

"Was the man a criminal?"

"Why did you kill him?"

"How did you kill him?

" Is it true that you were trained as an assassin when you went missing for three months."

Tony knew there was no point in answering their questions, it would only lead to chaos and a couple of very long interviews. Neither of which Tony had the patience to go through right now. Tony pondered the thought of just blasting his way through the reporters but decided against it.

Hard to explain to Pepper why a couple of reporters ended up in the hospital with burn marks. Tony thought as he tried fruitlessly to push his way through the mass.

Tony sighed, when you can't go through it, go above it.

Firing up his repulsors, Tony demanded Jarvis to pull up the news. In his heads up display showed a brunette news anchor speaking in a serious voice.

"Reports show that the superhero Iron Man killed an innocent man earlier today. After being pulled out of a burning building 47 year old Jeremy Vincent was brutally questioned and in the end murdered. Leaving us with the question can this so-called hero Iron Man be trusted."

The reporter faded off the screen and was replaced with an ad for McDonald's Big Mac.

Tony sighed and asked Jarvis to turn off the news.

It was going to be a long night. 

What would happen if the Minions had followed Tony before  he stopped making weapons?
