I have yet to see this prompted, but if it has been forgive me.

I’ve noticed a lot of stories along these lines: Tony gets captured/attacked/what-have-you and in the process gets his arc reactor forcibly removed

and those prompts are all well and fun

but I want to see something a bit different (and I will be posting this prompt as soon as I get to an open round)

What I want to see is this: Instead of Tony being captured, one/all of the Avengers are. And they’re ransomed. The ransom doesn’t say what they want, only that Tony needs to come alone and without the suit.

Once he gets there he sees his teammate(s) in deathtraps and the (wo)man/men holding them give Tony a choice: The arc reactor for his friends.

He’s not being held or restrained, he’s allowed to refuse, he’s allowed the leave. The door’s right there, no one’s stopping him. But if he leaves the Avengers die.

If he agrees and hands over the arc reactor his friends live and are free to go.

Basically what I want to see is this: Tony willingly taking the arc reactor out ( ... )

I think my favorite part of this prompt is just how in character it is for Tony. I mean in that he's less about the ~greater good~ and so much more about individual people - I mean in a spiderman MJ or bus scenario, I don't think he'd think for a second before picking Pepper, just as he'd pick Pepper over himself every time.

So while he'd always refuse to give up the reactor if it was "just" his life at stake, because the design could be used for very bad things, if it was it (and his life) or the team's? Just ugh. This is just so Tony.

Hopefully someone writes it!

I love so much your prompt, I love how it could picture Tony's character here. <3 I really hope some author is going to pick it up. I would do it myself, if I was able to write and proficient in English. :/

The call comes unexpectedly.

He’s pulling at his hair, barking orders at JARVIS, surviving on nothing but coffee and cold scraps of take-out and energy drinks because his team is fucking missing and SHIELD is working on finding them but they’re so goddamn slow.

The call is untraceable and he accepts it because at this point, he’s ready for anything.

“Mr. Stark.”

“If you’ve even fucking thought about hurting them-”

“You’ve got quite a mouth on you, Stark. Your team is listening in, if that’s a deterrent, though I imagine its not.”

“What do you want?”

It’s that growled question when it all clicks in maddening clarity. Those four words that stir that thing inside his chest, a gripping (love?) realization that whatever the man asks of him, he will do. It’s frightening if he’s honest with himself, that a group of people should have such power over him ( ... )

Further instructions turn out to be a group of thugs in a black Tahoe, who don’t manhandle him or even speak, just stand there until he gets in. The bulges he can see through their jackets makes it clear that they’re carrying, but they make no attempt to try to shoot him or restrain him or otherwise harm him ( ... )

The place is a collection of commercial buildings. He can make out the signs for a cleaning company, a palm reader and a cell phone retailer.
There’s a labyrinth of empty offices and hallways and stairs before they finally arrive in the basement.
A spacious room with a row of cells along the back wall and he clenches his fists because his team are being held like criminals.

“You fucking idiot,” Clint surges forward against the bars, he’s holding his hand close to him chest and that makes something rush in Tony's chest, something animalistic and dark and murderous.

“Tony, God, you weren’t supposed to come.” It’s Steve now, heavy manacles that glint around his wrists, puncture wounds along his neck, stance weary and tired ( ... )

He takes a few steps, finds that the breath is heavy in his throat.
It was worth it. He knows in his heart that he did the right thing.
Someone is calling him, saying his name, Tony,

“Tony!”

His mind refocuses, eyes settle on Steve, the ragged sound of his voice.

“Can you open the doors?” Clint asks, eyes raking the room for anything useful because they need to get out goddamn it, Tony, Tony’s fucking dying right in front of their eyes and Clint can’t just stand there, can’t just watch, no more. No more red on his ledger, not the blood of a friend, a teammate, a brotherTony moves toward Clint’s cell. He wants to try, but fatigue settles in the deep hollow in his chest ( ... )
