After noon | Closed to Cisco

After the hell of a rollercoaster that this morning has been, Tony takes another quick trip to the Commissary for something to eat and to reload on caffeine before taking a walk. Considering his department is still under construction, right now he has some free time, so he figures that he should check on Vision. He hasn't seen the guy since after his arrival and, considering how shaken up Vision had been that day, and then what happened yesterday, Tony just wants to see him. He wants to make sure that he's okay. He feels like shit for not going to check on him sooner, but just because he hasn't visited him sooner, it doesn't mean that he hasn't been worried about him.

Maybe that's what makes it worse when he finally sees Vision, but he isn't alone. He's being take away by a squad of Grey Ops, and Tony rushes over to stop them despite knowing damn well that he could get taken away for treason. He doesn't care. He doesn't know why they want him, and when he finally reaches them they tell him that they can't disclose any information, but Tony still tries to get them to let him go. He hasn't done anything, Tony tries to tell them, but all it earns him is a forceful shove that knocks him on his ass, and then they're gone.

No, his mind screams. Maybe he even yells it out as he scrambles to his feet, but it's too late. They're gone, Vision is gone, and Tony feels like his heart is pounding painfully against the arc reactor. He fully expects someone to grab him, take him along with Vision, and for a moment he's even ready to welcome it - hell, he wants them to try and grab him so that he can start swinging back - but nothing. Nothing happens, they're gone, and no one comes for him.

It's their mistake, Tony thinks. It feels like his blood is swirling loudly and viciously in his ears as his heart feels like it's going to burst out of his chest, but he doesn't even think for half a second that this feels...off. He has been angry ever since waking up at the hospital, but right now that anger feels just right. Because that desire to destroy the Computer is back with a vengeance, and he stalks his way down to Specials HQ with that specific goal in mind. It's all he can obsess over think about, making his walk feel like a blur, but suddenly he's there, and Cisco is in there as well, and Tony brightens because yes. They were going to take down this hellhole, right? It's perfect.

"Hey," he greets a little breathless. "You busy?"
