There was still more squealing and crunching as the damage in their wake multiplied, and at some point the cry of a police siren had joined the chorus, layering all of this noise into a cacophony of chaos in which Tony's unaffectedly even voice was incongruous. "If that's an accusation or invitation, I don't appreciate it," he said in the inhuman voice of the Iron Man. It was only with another deep breath that he opened his eyes and tried to push through all of information flooding his HUD, confused by it at first before it occurred to him that he was wearing his helmet, and look over at Cassie where his hand was still on her shoulder. As instinctively as he had retreated into the suit, he let it scan her, making sure nothing was obviously amiss before he let her flail around any more and give herself some kind of spinal injury. When all seemed to be structurally sound between them, he turned to survey the damage to the car, which turned out to be extensive enough to let his door come off with a rough shove. It clattered to the ground, and Tony raised a lip in disgust and bewilderment before he stumbled out of the half-car and started toward the one that had struck them.
Gripping the window where the glass had crumbled, Iron Man reached in to gently touch the driver slumped over his steering wheel when he heard Steve's voice and pulled out to look around wildly. "Cap?" he called back. He jogged a few steps towards the source of the voice then jumped into the air for a good vantage point to scan the disaster for his friend. He barely reached five feet when he was struck down again. It was like a heart attack-- an electric pain shooting down his arm and bringing him immediately to his knees, only he had to drop out of the air and cracked asphalt when he landed, one hand out to brace himself and the other wrenched back violently, held in the air by a crackling restraint. Above him, a man dressed head to toe in tight black and balancing on an indistinct hovering board, gave a tug at the lightening whip he wielded to force Iron Man up to face him.
