Who: Tony Stark and you!
What: Nightmare
When: Now
Where: Tony Stark's mind
Rating: R

It's a cave. Walls of rough, solid rock. The only exit is covered by a thick iron door and locked. It seems to have been converted into a workshop of some sort, with dismantled missiles, large amounts of scrap iron, and several workbenches and tools all scattered about.

Tony Stark is there, too. He hasn't shaved in a while, looks like he's been beaten pretty badly, and has a car battery, of all things, connected to his chest. He looks pretty miserable, all things considered.

The reason becomes clear, too, because at least in his dream, the mercenary terrorists known as the Ten Rings are keeping armed members inside with him. Try concentrating on building anything when there are men armed with fully automatic, Stark-branded weaponry watching your every move. And most of them don't even speak English.

These guys are tough and, while they need Tony, they have no qualms about killing any other prisoners, even just to make a point. Watch yourself.

Steve is confused as to how he got here, but that is a running theme by now. He might have taken it all in and tried to work from there if not for spotting Tony and the guards right off the bat. Looks like he is here to stage another daring rescue. While he would like to be confident about that the shape of Stark and being sans his shield or any other weaponry makes a daring rescue unlikely. A smart one, on the other hand, is a possibility.

He calmly tries to walk over to Tony and hopes against all hope no one tries to shoot him. Duck and find cover may not work so well in a cave versus a plant. "Mr. Stark."

Tony had to blink a few times to make sure he was seeing right. This was... this part wasn't right. He wasn't supposed to be there. Captain America was not kidnapped by mercenary terrorists and held in a cave with him.

The nightmare made him remember things differently, made him think he was back in the cave with the Ten Rings again, but just seeing Steve there was jarring him out of it. Making him realize the dream.

"What are you doing here? You're... definitely not supposed to be here."

Steve stops just short of Tony. He's not being attacked yet so he will take this as a very promising first step. Steve nods in agreement and tries not to look too much at the car battery. He gets the feeling that will lead to a very unpleasant explanation.

"If I had to guess, I'm here to get you away from them." Steve tilts his head in the direction of the terrorists. He isn't going to pretend he actually understands how he got here and how this happened to Tony without anyone knowing. "You up for it?"
