"Rise and shine sleeping beauty." A voice said as something cold hit his body and that was enough to wake him up and he coughed heavily as he accidently inhaled some of the water. His body shook from the freezing cold water as he opened his eyes to see that his hands were chained down and as well as his feet so he couldn't move. The water was enough to jolt the man awake and he rubbed his eyes to try and get the water out of them. As he managed to get the water out he realized something wasn't right. He was no longer in Stark Industries as he looked up seeing a familiar red mutant in front of him as he recognized very well. It was Exodus though he looked battered and beaten from a fight that he had given him a few hours ago Tony looked worse than he did as cuts and sores littered his body from an attack from the omega mutant. "What, where am I?" Tony asked weakly it was clear he still hadn't recovered from the attack that had happened.
"In the Genoshan jail where most of those unwanted mutants or trouble makers are placed. But we reserved a special place for you Mr. Stark." Exodus said with a hateful grin. "I can't wait to see what Magneto thinks of our newest prisoner on his hands. He could kill you. But with that brilliant mind of yours I bet he'd spare your life for other tasks he has in mind. With your mind you can build almost anything out of thin air." Exodus said. As Tony listened he thought back to the young and old members of the Avengers of how he let them escape as he fell behind to try and finish the job. But no it ended in his sacrifice to end the entire team. If Magneto was going to kill him he...no he didn't want to think of it. he had barely yet to talk to Yuki about their future plans together. to be married, to be in love forever and maybe have kids. Well that last one was a big maybe anyways.
"Well tell Magneto I'm not interested. I don't create weapons any-ow that hurts stop!" He called out as Exodus started to pull on his arms with his telekinetic abilities as he pulled them hard as if they were being stretched out of place. A gross and disgusting way of torture but it seemed to be fitting as he heard Tony beg. "S-stop! If Magneto wants to see me then tell him to come forward, and stop acting like a coward." Tony said as Exodus dropped him to the ground as his chains rattled. Tony regretted those words now he was probably going to get killed right on the spot. His heart pounded in his chest, fear was now in his mind. He had felt fear but nothing like this, this was true fear.
"Such a pity that a mind like yours belongs to a human. I'll go retrieve him." Exodus said as he began to leave Tony as he shook from the pain and had his back towards the cell doors as he stared at the brick wall. To be honest he didn't want to look at Magneto right now in his weakened state. he had no armor, nothing to protect him from the Master of Magnetism. He was a dead man and he knew it. "Jarvis....Yuki...the Avengers. All those that need me out there...and I can't do a thing as Tony Stark..." Minutes ticked by as he awaited for the team leader to show up or perhaps others that had things in mind for him like more forms of torture. He didn't know what to expect from the villain as he felt his modified heart pound in his chest. He was scared. And he admitted it.

It wasn't that Erik was being a coward it was just the old mutant had found himself quite occupied as of late. Despite the fact that he was close to relinquishing his leadership he wasn't quite there yet, still having some strength left in him yet and he knew Kicker had a little ways to go. His change in command was delayed at this current time since he was beginning to question his previous decision of allowing the young Kicker to even consider the position. Unfortunately, he also had to consider the fact that this young man still had the skill and he wanted Exodus to be the right hand man still knowing he could serve as a guide for his protege.
Right now though, Erik was dressed in casual clothes and was currently within his study he had created for himself to take care of paperwork, ranging from reports to the status on the island. But as he was looking through a report from Magneta the man paused as he sensed someone approaching and simply focused on the metals doors which opened for Exodus. He figured he knew why his most loyal follower was coming there, having heard news of Tony Stark's capture. Despite how Erik seemed out of touch on the island he wasn't stupid or a fool, he usually caught on quickly with some things and others he usually discovered that were meant to be a secret. So without even looking at the red skinned man Erik spoke, "I know why you are here Exodus, you don't have to tell me." He stated as he finished reading the report before setting the paper aside on a rather thick stack already before he stood.
Raising his hands his armor, which was close by on a rack, flew at the Master of Magnetism before molding around his body and catching his helmet that fell into his hands. "Come then, can't keep our guest waiting. Horus! You are to come as well!" Magneto called out, the young draconic mutant coming into sight with having been assigned to guard Magneto as he worked. Though the old mutant was suspicious of this young man he nodded and motioned Horus to follow him and Exodus, heading down to the cells in which Stark was being held.
It didn't take but some minutes later they arrived, Erik laying his gray-blue eyes upon the sorry looking man. "Well, well Mr.Stark, the last time I saw you was at the side of my dear friend's deathbed. It amazes me that you look so pitiful since that time and much as I would love to finish your pathetic human life, I have use for your intellect."He said to him.

"It seems the tables have been turned." Tony said but it was clear there was no humor in his voice like there might have been if it was with his fellow Avengers. It was clear on who had arrived in the area, he heard Magneto's voice and recognized it since last time. But he was not alone, Tony looked back over his shoulder seeing two others there. This time Exodus had returned but there was one other person that he had not recognized that was there. Pietro may have mentioned Horus to him once or twice but he never put the face towards the name.
Though he wasn't at all surprised when Magneto said that he was going to kill him. Heck it'd make things a lot easier for the both of them. But when Magneto said that he had plans for the genius he felt dread enter his mind and he was sure Exodus could feel it. "I'm not making weapons for you. I've seen them been there, done that. My weapons once destroyed nations that I didn't even know about." Tony said as he looked back at Magneto when he said he had plans for him. Whatever they were they were not going to be anything good. He had heard stories from Pietro and Wanda how their father was and his iron fist for ruling things. He tried to move his legs into a better position as he stood to see the others but he only fell in the process as the chains clanked and clattered hard underneath him. It hurt his legs hard as he let out a muffled groan of pain as it was clear that he could not so easily.
He wondered though, would the Avengers figure out that he was missing? They had too. They knew Tony so well that it was unlike him to ignore the Avengers or his duties. And for him to just disappear was something he wouldn't normally do unless he was taken by his own free will. Maybe the plan for now would just to be to stall in order to let the Avengers figure things out. Right now he wished he was Ironman, but he had told everyone else that he was not going to be him anymore. Exodus glared at the human when he heard the disappointing news, "You will do what Magneto commands you to do without a say. Maybe we have to break that into you Stark. You might as well get used to it. The Avengers aren't coming for you." Exodus said as his eyes glowed a deep red as he began to harm the human again with his telekinetic abilities as he slammed Tony into the wall which was clear it hurt him.
"No the Avengers...they won't forget about me...they're my team mates...my friends...my fiancé..." The last word he felt like his heart skipped a beat as he thought about Yuki, anyone with sensitive hearing probably could tell that something like that had happened to his heart. He knew they'd get him. Just some how. Some way. He just had to have some faith. It felt like eternity before Exodus dropped Tony to the floor after seeing that the human had enough suffering. He took some heavy breaths as he dared not to look up at the two. his flashbacks went back to when he fought Exodus for the first time in awhile. He, he knew he couldn't beat him in this human state nor as Ironman. His Ironman suits were back in Stark Industries and there was no way they could reach here in time without making some sort of disturbance. He could imagine it just now as the Avengers would try and find him Cap and the others were probably going to yell at him for being this way. But what other option did he have? He was helpless.

"Oh, I wouldn't have you really making weapons Stark, there are other uses that your brain can be put towards. We seem to be lacking some technological expertise around this island and you seem a find candidate to fill that role for the time being, which you will cooperate if you wish to see your precious Avengers again." Erik said, not protesting to the fact Exodus took care of the torturing himself. Quite frankly the red skinned mutant had the authority to do so unless Magneto told him otherwise and at this moment it seemed needed. If Stark didn't want to cooperate with them then he'd somehow break the man's spirit and force him to submit like the insect he was, no matter how brilliant he may be.
Though it seemed through the torture the old mutant had noticed Horus flinch at seeing the sick way Exodus treated him, making him wonder slightly. "Does this torture bother you young Horus?" He asked curiously as Horus forcibly shook his head, "Not at all my lord, just taking time to get use to." He said, trying hard to not want to punch these two himself. The draconic mutant could now see why Pietro and his twin left the Brotherhood, his short time there proved they were rather ruthless and brutal, and truly everything seemed to be correct about Magneto as he had heard. If the man was making a change the only thing he changed was being subtle in his plans and being far more cautious for a time, but not anymore. Though Horus could also see through the auras around the three men that Magneto wasn't quite believing his story and well Exodus hadn't trusted him like the others since he got there. So obviously, his acting might not be the best. He was just lucky enough the immortal mutant hadn't read his thoughts yet upon Magneto's orders.
Still skeptical Erik looked back at Tony, his blue-gray eyes glaring towards the man for a long moment. "Last chance now Stark before we begin breaking that spirit of your's, will you aid us or no?"He asked him.

"At least they don't torture those that they see weak." Tony said as he grunted as he felt exodus starting to use his powers again, the pain was everywhere and he couldn't do a thing to stop it. He had to submit, there was no other choice. He had one good glance at the red skinned mutant as his eyes lit up bright yellow to show that his powers were working. "One last chance." Exodus said with a threatening voice. This time though he took a different route as he went for Tony's heart which was already in trouble with the metal in it as he felt it like he was having difficulties breathing, it beated rapidly in his chest. "F-Fine you win." Tony said as he held his chest from where he felt the pain. However he looked back at Horus, though nothing came from his mouth this time as he looked back at the mutant, but when Magneto brought up his name it seemed to ring a bell in his memory.
He thought about it for a second on where he tried to remember the name from. It had been from Pietro! He knew the speedster had been friends with Horus before, but had he picked a side? That wasn't up to Tony to chastise the young man for picking his own path. he only looked back at Horus with somber eyes, "I'll do what you want. Repair things, invent things that is only unique to Genosha to make it look state of the art and ready for the future. I've already been broken by the Brotherhood when you destroyed Ironman." Tony said as he looked back at the three wondering what Magneto had in mind from him. He knew he'd be working a lot and probably with little food or water in order to keep him going. It was the life of the prisoner that he had suffered through ever since his capture.
"Shall I open the door for him sir? He submitted to you." Exodus asked Magneto as he only needed a wave of his hand to open the door to let out the captured genius. It was clear the old man was a shade of his former self. But he couldn't help but let a smirk come to his face when Tony said that Ironman was dead. It couldn't be more true for the both of them, otherwise they might be putting up a real fight with him.

It took more torture before at last the man came to his senses and submitted to them without further argument. At least he had some sense otherwise Tony would have been facing even more pain, this time personally form Magneto himself who wasn't above causing some harm to that arch reactor that kept his heart going. "No, leave him in his cell for now. He will need some time to allow his body to recover and to gain some strength after the little skirmish you two had earlier. So, tomorrow you will begin bright and early Mr.Stark and monitored closely so we don't have a mishap that involved your methods of becoming the famous Ironman." Magneto stated before he motioned Exodus to follow him but he had to be sure Tony was watched.
Turning to the young mutant he spoke in a firm tone, "Horus, you'll serve as a guard for Stark and making sure he's not recovering enough. If anything goes wrong I want to hear about it right away, understood?" He asked as Horus gave him a quick nod. This would serve as a good way to test the boy, seeing if he truly was going to be one of them. As he began walking away with Exodus Magneto spoke telepathically to the red skinned mutant, 'Exodus, I want you to keep an eye on our supposed new recruit. Something has been off about him since the day he got here but I want you to be in the shadows and make sure your not in his sight. Remember, he perceives the world in colored auras and I don't need him knowing he's being watched. Right now your the only one I can trust to uphold this task.' He said to him telepathically so Horus could not hear them.

Horus gritted his teeth at seeing how Tony was being treated, hating to see a familiar sight that he once knew. Sinister had often tortured his experiments and cronies, he himself had been subjected to grueling torture and training before Sinister had found him suitable to be used. It was the reason he turned against the lunatic in the first place so this sight sickened him quite a bit. But he couldn't protest to it or had a say in the matter, even if he was part of the Brotherhood as the two in front of him were the head honchos of the entire team and island. He wouldn't last long against them and Exodus likely could break his mind telepathically since he wasn't trained to withstand psychic attacks, something Sinister hadn't gotten around to teaching him before he ran away.
He stood to attention though when Magneto ordered him to watch over Tony, surprised that he didn't entrust this to someone else. Unless it was a test? It had to be, otherwise Exodus would have been given the job or someone who had been on the team far longer then he had. So the young man merely gave a nod and waited as the two went out of sight before he went to the cell door, turning his nails into his claws and using his index claw to pick at the lock until he heard the click and opened the door quietly as he could. "Tony Stark, I'd say it's an honor to meet you but think that can wait until later." He said quietly, just in case someone might be close and he moved over to the chains, seeing they were going to take a bit to break. "Look I know this looks bad, but I'm with the Brotherhood since I'm serving as a mole for the teams. We need the intel and I'm the only other one not affiliated with the Avengers or X-men." He explained to him quietly as he tested the chains carefully.
Though he looked at the man in the eyes and removed his glasses to show genuine concern and determination, "I'm a good friend of Pietro's, well actually to be honest he's my half brother, and he's aware of what I'm doing, the risk this involves. You could say I owe that much to the X-men mostly." He said, but figured it was time he stopped hiding the fact of who he was around the others since he had come to trust them and he knew Pietro would understand.

As the two mutants left leaving Horus behind Exodus felt Magneto’s thoughts like it was nothing and understood, 'Very well, if you want me to watch from the shadows, I will do just that. Something seems odd about that young Horus. If Alhora wasn’t busy on the main lands, they probably could have used her to help watch Horus as well, since she is such a good spy. Also I am aware of his abilities. he won't get past me that easily. An older mentor taught me how to show deception and hide my emotions towards others.' Exodus said even though there was a bit of spite towards his old mentor. It had been apocalypse who had granted him such power. As he looked back to where Horus was as he tried to reach their thoughts. He felt Tony’s and they were all over the place as he seemed to be speaking towards Horus. There was pain and exhaustion in the genius that was clear but nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary as they seemed to be speaking about Quicksilver, he knew Pietro was Magneto’s son but didn’t seem to think of it as a problem. ‘I’ll come for him in the morning when it’s time for him to work. He better be ready for it.’ Exodus said as he began to take a turn to go see some other prisoners that had arrived. Obviously Tony was more important at the time. He was an Avenger and they had to reduce the threat. He gave one last wary look before dismissing his thoughts from Tony to give the man a break. He’d be going through many more problems tomorrow when the day began. ‘Humans.’ Exodus thought as he rolled his eyes. ‘They are such weaklings.’ And with that he departed, but there would be no surprise that he was checking their thoughts of the other humans and prisoners of the area. If a rebellion was going to be planned, Exodus was going to be the first one to notice.
Tony felt relieved when he heard Exodus and Magneto leave, his heart was still pounding in his chest from the rush of adrenaline he received earlier. It was hard not to ignore it but he had to do his best. Like Magneto said he had to conserve his energy for the next day ahead. However he was surprised as he heard Horus unlock the door and came on in side as he saw the young man. Horus began to explain what was going on, “I thought that name sounded familiar. Pietro did mention you to me once. But I didn’t know that you two were brothers.” Tony said. But it was clear that the speedster had kept his word about keeping the part about their relationship in the dark. “Maybe a full introduction is deserved when the time is right. Not right now of course.” Tony said as he watched Horus a bit surprised that he managed to open the door with ease. Tony knew he’d take some time in order for him to get out. The chains held back his body to where he could barely get to the front part of the cage. He was being held down like he was an animal.
He knew Quicksilver was a talkative one but it was clear he knew when to keep quiet as well. Then an idea came to him as he listened to what Horus had to say. “Horus can you send a message to Pietro about my capture? I want you obviously to do it when it’s the most convenient time for you.” Tony said as he let out a tired sigh near him. But it was clear the older man was listening to what he said. “I did study the chains while I was waiting for the three of you to come. It’s a very strong metal and will take a lot to break. It’s clear that Magneto and the others are using the resources on Genosha very well. Horus I suggest we lay low for awhile, if anything Magneto will be highly suspicious, and as far as I am aware Exodus is a telepathic. He’s going to know right away if we’re up to anything.” Tony said as he paused to take a break for a bit. His body ached from the pain and the torture that Exodus had done to him moments ago. And not to mention he was still hurting from the attack earlier. It was going to take more than a day in order to rest and recover, but it looked like he was going to have to recover fast.
Tony looked back at Horus as he finished his explanation of what was going on. However he flinched as he heard his stomach growl as it gnawed at his insides. Normally it wouldn’t have been much of a problem while he was at Stark Industries, sometimes he even forgot to eat on occasions, and Jarvis had reminded him time and time again in order to eat. Here he needed to keep his strength up since he wouldn’t know what to expect, “Normally I would have ignored something like that at my building but it’s clear I can’t. I don’t remember the last time I had actual food since I was brought here. Maybe yesterday morning before the fight began? I just feel bad that I’m asking you so many favors, but do you mind getting me a bit of food at some point as well?” Tony asked. It was clear that there was a lot of patience going to be involved in this escape. He had to wait for the Avengers to come up with a plan and as well as Horus for sending a message. But heck he had all the time he needed in the world now to think about things in the past. “As long as you don’t mind, I know it’s a big risk for these things that I’ve asked for you to do.” Tony said knowing it was risky. It was risky for the both of them.

"Well, me and Pietro mutually decided it was better left unsaid to anyone we both knew since it would be rather risky. Besides, if Magneto knew who I really was there would be a likely chance I'd have been forced to join like Pietro and Wanda were, and I'm not really looking forward to being subjected to someone's tortures again." Horus told him, knowing he had asked Pietro to keep it quiet as he would as well. Horus had been fearful of letting anyone know of the fact that Magneto might discover this and things might get messy. So, for now he was willing to break that silence of who he as related to so Tony knew for sure he was on their side and not an enemy. And the matter now was ever the more risky as anyone could be watching and Horus would be found out in no time at all.
After testing the chains a bit Horus gave a frustrated growl and nodded, "Yea, even I would have a hard time breaking these with my claws alone. I'll have to think of something else or wait for help to arrive somehow." He told him as he looked at Tony who gave a request he was planning to fulfill already. "Don't worry, I was planning to contact Pietro the moment I could finish my guard duty for Magneto. But this is the opportunity I need now. So, I'll be right back." He promised him as he stood and left the cell, closing it behind him and hearing the click that it locked before Horus flew off quickly to the kitchens close to the cells where the food was usually prepared and landed inside the room where he began making a meal for Tony, adding a little extra so he could help the poor man get his strength back. It was the least he could do and he had heard Magneto needed Tony fit and ready by tomorrow. "Alright that's done."He murmured before he took out a special communicator with an X branded on the back.
Knowing he could contact anyone of the X-men and his brother from it Horus pressed a few buttons before picking Pietro's and deciding to sent a quick text. The text was an encrypted one though so anyone else that might try and get it wouldn't have much luck but the message was quick and to the point, telling his brother things were fine on his end and that he had discovered Tony in the cells there in Genosha. But as he was finishing Horus failed to see the black form of Analisa on the ceiling behind him, her tail snapping forward and wrapping around his neck. By immediate reaction Horus began to struggle, causing the two to collapse to the ground and Analisa hissing as she tightened her tail, Horus trying to yank her off but only getting distracted by the neyaphem slashing out with her fists and feet forcing him to have to block the blows until finally after a few minutes of a struggle Horus couldn't fight back and blacked out from the lack of oxygen and Analisa picked up his phone, seeing the message that was sent among others.
"Well, well seems it's my lucky day."She said with a fanged grin, before hauling the unconscious draconic mutant back to the cells while bringing the food as well, returning to TOny's cell and sliding the tray to him. "How unfortunate your little friend here wasn't so sneaky Stark, and seems your only way to help is pretty dead."She said as she dropped the man unceremoniously on the floor in front of the cell. "Hey Exodus! You may want to come see this, seems out little dragon wasn't so loyal."Analisa called, knowing he was there still checking on the other prisoners.

It looked like he’d have to wait for his next meal for some time; in fact he wasn’t even sure if he’d get one at this rate. His heart pounded in his chest. As Tony looked up he heard another person’s voice come in, except this one wasn’t Horus. It sounded like it was feminine instead. He knew there were a lot of female members on the brotherhood but he had not seen this person before. As she came in she had Horus by the throat as she dropped him to the ground near his cell making him wince from the sound of the thud, if he didn’t have his own suit that would have likely been a broken bone or two. He had broken many bones in his superhero career trying to do what he did best. But right now any small wound or infection would probably result in his death. Then that nauseating feel came as Exodus came back remembering how much he had been tortured earlier he felt his arms being held against him as the red skinned man had control on him. This way there’d be no escape for Tony. He had no hope but Horus had contacted Pietro right? Maybe there was…However he was cut off as Tony was held by his throat in a similar manner as he was coughing and struggling to keep his breath. “That’s not going to work today. Jarvis or the others can’t hear you Stark.” Exodus said as he sent Tony flying back into the wall as the man cried in pain, this time though he stayed down as the pain came over his body, he felt it shake from so much pain. He hadn’t felt something like this in a long time. This one had hurt ten times harder than the last one, it was clear that Exodus was getting tired of this constant watching over Stark. He was cunning yes, but what could a mere human do towards them? He was getting sick and tired of this bug.
“Analisa I see you have found someone unloyal to our own group. I knew we couldn’t trust him and it seems that Magneto was right about him. We’ll have to bring Magneto over to see what we can do for him.” Exodus said as he saw the blacked out Horus. He looked back seeing that Tony had barely stood up from the hit earlier as they had two people to deal with, now that are in trouble. “Analisa, why don’t you teach Mr. Stark a thing or two, on trying to escape? You know we don’t tolerate a thing like that around here. Just make sure he’s still living. Magneto wants him alive.” He asked as he picked up the piece of machinery that Horus was using. With his telekinetic powers he started to slowly take it apart however something caught him off guard.
“I’m so sick and tired of you guys.” Tony said as he stood up on one knee to see the others. “Pietro had once said that Magneto was going to change. But what did change actually mean? Harm humans? Harm people of your own race so he can only achieve his own goals? And what do you think is going to be the outcome? You’ve seen what Magneto has done in the past. He’s going to only end up destroying everything and including himself. It always happens with villains.” Tony said as Exodus merely scoffed. “I love your petty speech Stark but it’s not going to work here.” He said but Tony didn’t let him continue his speech as he felt his willpower starting to return. He was known for his will power even in the worst of chances he wasn’t going to live he still managed to survive. Heck he should have been dead by now but he was so lucky. He had to do it.
For the Avengers. The other heroes that were out there…for Horus…for….Yuki they were all that mattered to him now. “You also forgot one thing. If the world is in danger by the likes of you, there will be one team that will avenge it. I may have forgotten the meaning behind the Avengers when they formed the first time, but I remember it now. Horus just sent them a message and once they figure out that I’m not where I’m supposed to be. Expect them to come knocking.”
“Not if we can stop them first.” Exodus said as he tossed the machine to the ground as it sparked from the landing. “Don’t you think so Analisa?” Exodus asked.

How Analisa wished she could just end Tony's life right there and then as she went to open the cell. She had grown to despise humans as much as the rest of the Brotherhood, it was the reason she was even with them today or even considered their offer in the first place. But it was annoying at the fact that Magneto had ordered Tony really not killed, only roughed up. Exodus enforcing this made her tail twitch in annoyance at this fact that yet again she was prevented from doing what she loved. Causing chaos and harm to those inferior to her was like a sport to this young neyaphem and it made her irritated that sometimes she couldn't cause as much destruction as she pleased. Maybe back in the Brimstone Dimension things would have been different.
For now though she merely opened the door and stepped inside, preparing to cause some harm to Tony then what he was already facing. His speech though made her slightly amused but she had to admit he had great will to be lasting this long, it was one thing she could admire. Not that she would ever let that last long though. "Pretty little speeches get no one anywhere Stark, it just gets you killed. Shame though we can't put you out of your misery, I'd just love to be able to show you my...torturing methods. Being thrown against a wall is hardly the least of your problems then."She told him. A kind of twisted grin came to her face then, "If fact if I had it my way I'd make sure you suffered a rather slow, agonizing death that could get quite messy. Which is putting it quite lightly." She told him, certainly revealing a rather sadistic aspect to Analisa that might have even disturbed the likes of others if they didn't to resort to what she did. Alas this was a wistful dream to the young woman as she couldn't go that far of torturing the man.
A smirk came to her face as she nodded, "I have to agree. There are quite a few strong number of us and I think the Avengers will hardly stand a chance against the Brotherhood. But I certainly hope those X-men join them, I look forward to payback from that skirmish during Xavier's death announcement." She said, showing a great bitterness of the X-men and Avengers for what they did to her. But she turned as she heard Horus cough and try to start standing. "Y-your wrong. The teams will be here and they will prevail, one way...or another."Horus said hoarsely as he struggled to stand but collapsed once more as he was still disoriented from being strangled earlier by her tail. But that was when an idea came to her and she left the cell with a wicked smirk, "I got a better idea Exodus. We inform Magneto and get ready for the teams if they really are coming. In the mean time I will stay down here and give our little mole a lesson in trying to spy upon us. Sure Tony would enjoy hearing the screams of his little friend here." She told him but also seeing this as an opportunity for her to take out her frustrations at not being able to take care of Tony Stark. Yet it could also serve to remind both men what could happen with ther escape attempts and the consequences of spying as Horus had been doing for the last week or so.

"I know... sometimes I wished I was dead." Tony said in a low tone knowing it was true. He had fallen victim to a depression on more than one day in his younger years as he fell to alcoholism which would have not been tolerated with the Avengers. He did his best to clear things up but it was over time everything seemed to change. Once Tony corrected his footing he sat back down where his back was against one of the walls as his body shook from the pain that wracked his body. He could only wonder how much more he could endure from this constant torture, it would have been different if he had his ironman suit. But he gave up on that. He looked back at Analisa as she came into his cell as he flinched when she opened the door. He could see the sickness and the hatred in her eyes, something that Ironman would have never feared as he tried to avoid her gaze but it was clear it was not going to happen.
He knew the speech probably wasn't going to work as he felt his heart in his chest pound rhythmically. As he waited for Analisa's torture to begin none came as she decided to change her mind and take it out on Horus. "I thought I was the one you wanted? Leave him alone." Tony said ready to take more of a beating if one more attempt that'd probably make him come so close to death. Heck he had been to hell and back so many times and suffered so much he was surprised he wasn't dead right now. Exodus narrowed his eyes as he listened to what the three had to say, "The brotherhood have been waiting for these days a long time Stark. While your pity Avengers have had the carefree life they have not been getting ready for what they need in order to survive. Mark my word there will be many casualties if your friends decide to come. After all you could not defeat the phoenix force now could you?" Exodus said as he began to leave when Tony dropped his head in shame.
"No we couldn't." He said and the sound of guilt was in his voice. No one could defeat the phoenix force, it was an entity that was not from this realm. But that was the answer that Exodus was looking for as he smirked at the pitiful sight of him. He knew that bringing back memories that Tony did not care for the human would feel helpless. He only would wonder what it'd be like if Tony was a mutant. For now though it seemed fate was pointing a finger in their direction, the brotherhood's direction. "Take care of both of them if you must." Exodus said giving Analisa one last order as he began to head towards finding Magneto to figure out what to do with Horus. Tony meanwhile seemed to have lost his hope again. Where the young Avengers ready? Were the X-Men ready to do a mission that meant death was on the line.
