also, it comes with the territory, but definitely a degree of prescribed rules and rituals. they're an obedience thing for sure, but steve also finds it rlly nice to know exactly what's required of him, and running through familiar routines helps him settle and stop thinking. and u know steve & tony absolutely had a great time establishing and perfecting it all, too
YESSSS!!! Steve needs the sex equivalent of military boot camp

A Game
Summary: Tony suggests a game that you, the unfortunate intern, get dragged right into the center of: who can make a woman cum the fastest?
Pairings: all dark!: Steve x Reader, Bucky x Reader, Thor x Reader, Sam Wilson x Reader, Tony x Reader, implied natasha x reader
Warnings: DUB-CON/NON-CON (oral: f-receiving, fingering, tiny smidge of analplay) VOYEURISM/EXHIBITIONISM, BLACKMAILING, OVERSTIMULATION. The characters in this story are NOT good people. After reading the warnings, your media consumption is your own responsibility!
Tumblr media
As Stark’s party mellowed down and all the guests left, you, the unfortunate intern, were called over to the small group of five Avengers seated in a section of couches.
“Y/n, come!” Thor’s voice boomed.
“Y/n, come!” Sam mimicked, deepening his voice to make fun of Thor’s.
You approached them as the men snickered at Sam’s joke. 
“What can I do for you?” you ask, a fake smile plastered on your face.
Stark cleared his throat and raised a brow at you; a silent command. 
“What can I do for you, sir?” 
“A round of drinks please, and add this to Sir Barnes, Sir Rogers, and I’s drinks.” Thor handed you the flask of his Asgardian liquor and you accepted it, hiding the slight nervous tremble of your hands.
“Of course, sir.”
“Someone’s been learning their manners,” Steve taunted, and it took all your restraint to not snarl at him.
“Easy there, Rogers,” Stark interjected, noticing how your fingers clenched Thor’s flask tighter. “Pretty sure Barnes fucked the brat outta her couple days ago when he came back from that shitshow of mission in Bosnia. Got a lot of pent up rage there, Buck?”
“Mission just put me in a bad mood,” Bucky shrugged. “Either way, I don’t think I fucked all the brat outta her. Got anything left for me, doll?”
“I have nothing for you, you self-righteous, ignorant prick,” you spat venomously.
“There she is. I always love a challenge.” Bucky smirked at how your knuckles were turning white around the flask. “Now didn’t Thor ask you to go fetch us some drinks?”
You huffed, opting to bite your tongue rather than lashing out, and spun on your heel toward the minibar.
Three-months ago, you would never have imagined your internship interview at S.H.I.E.L.D to bring you here. Your interview had been conducted by Captain America himself, and just as things began to look promising, it was interrupted by a sharp knock from Tony Stark. Tony had brought Steve into the hall, leaving the door to the conference room open, and you could only sneak glances through the window of the room, hearing Steve whisper about how it was “a question of morality” while they both kept looking back at you.
You got the position, and the next day, Tony sat you down and gave you an offer.
The Avengers needed to be ‘taken care of’, as he put it, and you being a ‘stress-reliever’ would boost morale around the team. Most of the them never had time for the outside world (apparently saving the world was a big commitment?) and were rarely ever able to make lasting relationships. You could accept the position, be compensated monthy, and get to live in the compound, or you could decline, and walk away with your mouth sealed by the confidentiality contract you signed before the interview.  Something about S.H.I.E.L.D. work being linked to a lot of top secret information, meaning you weren’t allowed to speak any details of the job to outside parties unless you wanted to get sued for every penny you were worth.
You had been on the cusp of taking the second option before Tony mentioned your sister’s job as S.H.I.E.L.D. as an agent. She was half the reason you’d interviewed for an internship. A couple words from Tony about her possibly falling into a fatal accident on a mission, and you took the position offer in a heartbeat.
You almost overfilled the glass while getting lost in your train of thought. Setting down the bottle of expensive whiskey, you placed the last glass next to the others on the silver tray, and picked it up, gracefully yet begrudgingly making your way back to the small gathering.
“Y/n, finally. We were just talking about who here can make a woman cum the fastest.”
The complete utter bluntness of Tony’s words caught you entirely off guard, and you tripped over your own feet, stumbling in your high heels to keep the tray of drinks from falling before Sam reached an arm out to catch the tray and another arm to hold your hip and steady you.
You ripped yourself from Sam’s touch without acknowledging or thanking him, to disturbed by Tony’s previous words to do so. You began passing out the glasses of dark liquid. “And you’re telling me this why?” Your voice was flat in hopes of showing Tony you were completely disinterested in any plans he might have.
“Why, we need your aid, Lady Y/n,” Thor answered a little too cheerfully for your taste.
“I won’t be partaking in your little immature competition of toxic masculinity.” You crossed your arms and continued. “It makes it seem that women are nothing but prizes. Games to be played by boys as they fight over the highscore. Toys.”
“Aren’t they?” Steve cocked his head, eyes glimmering with amusement while a smirk painted his face. The rest of the men chuckled at his reply.
“I think HR would be shocked to hear that Captain America is being a sexist dick to a woman in the workplace,” you bit back, but your threat was weak and they all knew it.
“I think HR would be to busy writing a condolence letter to your sisters family if, let’s say, on her mission with Sam tomorrow in Russia, a stray bullet hit her,” Steve replied. A quick reminder at the stakes. 
Sam clicked his tongue and shook his head in mock sympathy. “Those darn Russians and their careless aim.”  
He abruptly pushed himself off the couch and clapped his hands together. “I wanna go first,” he declared.
“Just remember, you can’t use your dick,” Tony added. “Some of us don’t have super soldier serum enhanced fuckwands.”
“Please never, ever say fuckwand again,” Bucky said, scrunching up his nose. “Besides, the hydra serum didn’t do anything down there.” He waggled his eyebrows while elbowing his enhanced counterpart. “Don’t think I could say the same for this punk here though.”
Steve muttered a ‘shut up’ while the group snickered.
All while they compared sizes like a bunch of teenagers, Sam manhandled you onto the coffee table in the center of the couches. You let out a grunt as you were shoved onto your front, stomach pressed into the tabletop while your pelvis was slammed into the edge.
Sam kneeled behind you and brought up two fingers to your mouth.
“Get ‘em nice and wet for me, baby.”
The men around you went quiet, entranced as you reluctantly took Sam’s fingers into your mouth, sucking on them and swirling your tongue around them.
When Sam finally pulled them out, he looked back at Tony.
“You ready?” Sam asked.
Sam hiked the flowy skirt of your dress up your legs causing you to squirm and pathetically thrash; a desperate attempt at putting an abrupt stop to this stupid game.
“You’re on the clock.”
At Tony’s words, Sam immediately stopped your desperate attempt at worming away from him by catching you by the back of your neck and slamming you back down hard on the coffee table. Much to your disdain, the rough treatment made you wet, and that was the last thing you wanted them to see.
But when Sam pulled your lacy panties down, you could tell it was the first thing he noticed.
“Fuck babygirl, I didn’t need you lubing up my fingers, you’re already drenched,” he noted.
You let out a soft moan as Sam worked two calloused fingers into your pussy. Although they’re thick and long, they were nowhere near the size of his dick and you silently thanked whatever was out there that he wasn’t splitting you in half with it at the moment. Sam released the grip on your neck, moving to settle the hand on your ass before giving it a light squeeze and a slap that elicited another moan from you. While Sam slowly began moving his fingers- twisting, curling, and pumping them- he leaned over you, caging your body under his broad chest, to speak dirty words into your ear.
“Baby, you’re so wet right now, I think you like having them watch you.” Your cheeks burned in shame while he picked up the pace. “You want them to see how well-behaved you are for me? Want them to see how you come on my hand like a good little slut?” he cooed.
Slow pumps now turned to quick thrusts from his skilled fingers and Sam groaned as you fluttered around him.
“That’s it. You’re taking me perfectly.”
Twisting his wrist so his thumb could also strum your clit, Sam was moving so fast you’d easily mistake him for a superhuman.
“Yes, Sam, please,” you cried out, eyes rolling into the back of your head.
“Uh-uh, babygirl. Wrong word,” he scolded, although his pace never slowed as his fingers brutally fucked into you.
“Daddy!” you screamed. “I’m cumming!”
You chanted those words, cunt clamping down on his merciless fingers. He gave you no reprieve, mercilessly thrusting into you, until you squirted, your release coating his hand and dripping down his forearm. Only when you were almost crying, did he finally remove his hand from your abused cunt.
“Now that-,” Sam stated, grinning while he stood. “-is how you make a girl come.”
“Yeah, sure, whatever Birdbrain.” You don’t have any strength to look at Tony as he speaks. “Give her a couple minutes before whoever’s next.”
Whatever the conversation was between them (you couldn’t hear it over the buzzing in your brain), it was much too short to your liking. The few minutes Tony gave you only felt like a few seconds before Bucky was getting up.
“Guess I’ll take a crack at it,” he announced, rolling his head from side to side.
“No one says “take a crack at it” anymore, old man.”
“Keep talking when your in last place, Sam,” Bucky quipped, however, his tone was still light.
You felt a metal hand on your hip before you were rolled over onto your back, now facing Bucky while your eyes pleaded with him.
“Please dont,” you croaked.
Bucky just scoffed, kneeling down between your legs and wrapping both arms around your thighs as he pulled you closer.
“Tony?” His hot breath fanned your pussy as he spoke and you inhaled sharply at the feeling.
“Whenever you’re ready,” Stark said.
Bucky wasted no time the moment the words left Tony’s mouth. He started by licking up from your hole to clit over and over, the lazy stripes already driving you wild. Letting go of one of your thighs to bring his flesh hand to your pussy, he pulled the hood of your clit back, pausing his licking to blow on your engorged bud.
“Such a pretty pussy, doll,” he murmured before turning his head around and speaking louder. “You guys seeing this?” 
He moved his head out of the way to showcase your glistening folds. A couple groans from the men on the couches had you trying to close your legs, but Bucky’s grip was like steel (especially considering his hand was metal).
“Wasting time Buck,” Steve commented and Bucky just rolled his eyes.
“I’m pretty sure I can still beat Sam and have time left over,” he scoffed.
Bucky directed his attention back to your folds, this time, diving in right away. He still had the hood of your clit pulled back as he encased the bud with his lips causing you to writhe at the intense sensation. And yet, you were held down with practically no effort as he methodically played with you. Each time he groaned against you, you let out an embarrassingly loud moan, and by the time he started sucking on your clit, you were wrecked. Your hand found home in his brown locks of hair while he quickly moved his tongue back and forward on your sensitive nub that was trapped in the vacuum of his mouth. The coil inside you wound tighter and tighter, and suddenly, while Bucky began shaking his head from side to side, it snapped. Your clit pulsed rapidly while encased in his hot mouth, and you screamed, legs locking around his head while your hand held his head in place. He worked you while you rode out your orgasm on his face until you could barely move.
Bucky got up from his knees, grinning down at you, so weak, you couldn’t muster it in you to glare back.
“Now I think I really fucked the brat out of you,” he said. “What was that?” He cupped his ear. “Did I hear a thank you sir?”
“Thank you, sir,” you whimpered weakly.
You were so fucked out, all the next events were but a blur.
Thor had feasted between your thighs the same as Bucky but was more sloppy, although, your body seemed to love ‘sloppy’. His tongue was constantly lashing and worming around your clit, the wet muscle accompanied by lewd slurping sounds, and in record time, Thor’s suckling and licking had you tensing and building up so much that your orgasm felt like a waterfall crashing over your body.
Steve was just as methodical and precise as Bucky, also pumping his fingers slowly in and out of your pussy. He was sweetly slow, dragging out your pleasure to the point where you were begging him to come. His warm tongue dragged across your sensitive cunt, while another hand reached up to grab a breast and pinch a nipple. You felt like your body was on fire. It wasn’t until Steve had inserted a thumb into your ass that he finally allowed your body sweet sweet release.
Your head span as finally collapsing on Tony’s floor, listening to the muffled voices above you.
You didn’t even register Stark’s words as he announced Thor had won and Steve had come in last. You barely even heard Steve’s defense that he was just enjoying himself too much in the moment.
Although ten-minutes later you had a somewhat sense of clarity, after hearing their conversation, you wished you were just unconscious. Even better, dead.
“I’m tellin’ you man, I made her squirt. She definitely came the hardest with me.” Sam’s voice rang.
“Dude- she was literally grinding against my face and holding me in a headlock with her legs,” Bucky argued.
“I literally made the brat beg to cum,” Steve inserted.
“I’d say that by bringing her to release the fastest, it was most intense with me,” Thor declared, victoriously.
You were on the brink of tears as they talked about you. Until another voice cut into the room. A female voice.
“What do you boys think you’re doing?”
It was Natasha. Your head jolted up as you felt a glimmer of hope surge through you.
That glimmer of hope was quickly extinguished at her next words.
“Not inviting me to the boy’s party?” she scolded. “You think a girl might beat you by a landslide?”
Nat squatted down next to you, running a soft hand on your cheek.
“Well you’re right. I’ll beat Thor’s record and cut it in half.”
She began unbuttoning her pants.
“And I’ll do it while riding her face.”

“Wow,” Steve sighed.
Bucky had told him everything; not detailed but what he should know. 
“Is it love?”
“I don’t fucking know, man. And it’s pissing me off,” Bucky sighed dramatically, making Steve chuckle.
“That’s crazy, man. Weird to think about; like you and her…” Steve gestured his hands together then cringed.
“Can you not?” Bucky laughed.
“I don’t know what to tell her. I don’t want to fight anymore but she doesn’t know that and I can’t just say, ‘Hey, when we slept together I realized I don’t fight you anymore because I think like you?’ She’ll kill me!”
“Who’ll kill you,” Nat said, returning with Tony, Clint, and Sam from the Hydra base.
“Nobody,” Bucky mumbled. 
“Ok,” Nat continued walking to the medbay where you, Banner, and Cho were while Sam stayed with the boys.
“How is she doing?” Tony asked.
“Not good,” Banner said, biting his nails.
“What?” Nat gasped.
“She was in an extreme critical condition and no one was here to give her blood. Cho doesn’t share blood type, I’m radioactive, you guys were gone, and Steve and Buck have the serum,” Banner said. 
Tony and Nat looked at each like they had something to say.
“What?” Banner asked.
“You’ll never guess what we recovered at the base,” Tony said, opening a slot in his suit.
He pulled out a tube similar to the shape of a pen that contained familiar blue liquid inside. Banner’s head shot up again looking back and forth between Nat and Tony. 
“Will it work?”
“This could save her life,” Bruce whispered.
ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ ᴍᴏɴᴛʜs ʟᴀᴛᴇʀ
You grabbed our basket of laundry and walked back to your room. You turned the TV on and folded your clothes. You were still recovering from the last mission you went on with Bucky; you haven’t  really spoken to him since. You two haven’t even fought since the day you came back. 
Banner and Cho had injected the infamous super soldier serum Hydra refined. Apparently the entire charade of a fundraiser was to present a new type of serum to a shitty ‘board of directors’ a part of Hydra. 
And now you were the only human being on earth to have it in your system.
Tony and Bruce were constantly running tests and safety precautions on you for the past three months and you were feeling fine. Better than before; maybe a little taller. 
The effects heightened senses similar to Peter’s radioactivity, enhanced strength like the boys, and intelligence; by that you were able to retain more information and perceive complex data.
This was on top of what powers you already possessed. So now you were basically Tony, Peter, Wanda, and Steve wrapped up in a beautifully dainty bow. 
Natasha has been re-training you alongside Steve, and you were slowly becoming stronger than them surprisingly. Wanda was still way more powerful than you though.
You finished a session with them and they advised you to rest but with the serum you practically didn’t need recovery time; maybe just a hot shower. 
So here you are folding your clothes filling the time.
A light soft knock on your door disrupted you. You walked and opened the door finding none other than Bucky; truthfully the last person you expect.
“Can I come in?” he asked you.
“Uh sure. I’m folding laundry,” you said, stepping to the side to let him in.
“That’s alright.”
“What’s up?” you continued folding your clothes after turning the TV off.
“How are you doing?”
“Alright. Kinda feel better than before,” you smiled softly.
“That’s great.”
There was silence that coated you two. You were getting slightly annoyed as to what was going on with him. He’s been weird since the night you two hate fucked. And you weren’t having his shit anymore.
“What’s wrong with you?” you asked bluntly.
“What do you mean?” 
“Why have you been acting this way? Why aren’t we fighting?”
“I thought you didn’t like fighting.”
“I don’t which is why I’ve always hated you and vice versa,” you started to raise your voice in frustration.
“Maybe I don’t want to hate you anymore.”
“Why? Buck, we don’t fucking like each other! Sometimes people don’t get along and that’s us!”
“Fuck, Y/n. You’re so fucking stubborn. Don’t you realize how exhausting it is. We’re always yelling and fighting and throwing shit at each other. It doesn’t have to be like that anymore. These past three months we haven’t fought-”
“We haven’t talked in three months!” you yelled. He grabbed the back of your neck and pulled you flushed against him.
“Godammit, woman.” 
“Fuck you,” you said.
Bucky kissed you and you tried to push him away only making him grab you wrists and push against the wall. You furrowed your brows kissing him back however. He was so addicting and you hated it. The kiss slowly turned soft and sensual; your tongues swirling around each other. 
He pulled away and found you had your eyes still closed. He went in for another kiss but you turned your head away; him not knowing that you didn’t want to give in again. You could hear and feel his heartbeat beating incredibly fast; as was yours.
“Can we start over?” he whispered against your ear, his forehead resting against your head. 
You didn’t respond so he got off you and walked out of your room closing the door behind him. You wished then you would’ve said something. You breathe out not realizing you were holding your breath. 
You went to finish folding your laundry but another knock echoed in the loud silence. And you knew exactly who it was.
You opened the door meeting your eyes with his. 
“Hi, I’m Bucky,” he smiled.
“What are you doing?” you tried not to smile.
“I heard you were moving in today and thought it would be neighborly to drop by and say hi.”
“I’m not playing this charade with you,” you cracked a smile as he stepped closer to you.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he whispered before grabbing your face and kissing you devotedly. 
You laughed in the kiss and Bucky kicked the door closed with his foot. You wrapped your arms around his neck basking in the kiss. He pushed your basket of clothes to the floor, neither of you really caring too much if it landed alright. 
You’ll make him redo it if not.
His hands brushed against your hot skin under your shirt after he laid you gently on your back. Not long after he whined, a way of begging you to take your shirt off. He tugged at it and you sat up finally letting him take it off. 
His hands cupped your breasts while trailing kisses down your jaw and neck. He moved down your body and down the bed, standing up to strip himself of clothes. He did the same to you after he was bare. He settled between you and just watched your face. 
“You’re so beautiful,” he tucked a strand of hair behind  your ear.
“God, our fights killed me every fucking day. You’re so sexy when you’re mad,” he joked.
“Shut up,” you laughed turning your head away.
“Are you sure about this?” he asked seriously and gently.
“Yeah, I don’t want to fight anymore either,” you cupped his face. 
“Ok,” he kissed you. He gently flipped you onto your stomach.
“Bedside?” he asked referring to condoms.
You nodded biting your lip, bringing your knees under your hips pushing your ass up for him. 
Bucky wrapped his dick and pumped it a few times, rubbing your back softly with his other hand. He looked at your glistening pussy smiling knowing how wet you’d gotten because of him. He lined himself with your entrance and pushed himself in. 
He stopped when he felt your body ever so slightly tensed up. You breathed heavily but urged him to continue. He moved in and out of you moaning. His hands rubbed up and down your back and your body trembled under him. 
He leaned down and pressed kisses on your back slowing down a bit. You wiggled your hips wanting more and Bucky moved his hand up the front of your body. He pulled you up so you were pressed against his chest kissing your shoulder. 
He moved widely fast in and out of you chasing his high. You were shaking against him, feeling your oragsm approaching insanely quick. You threw your head back onto Bucky’s shoulder. One of his hands played with your breast while the other reached down and rubbed your clit. 
When he did, your body jerked and you moaned louder making Bucky smile. He moved faster and seconds later you both tumbled over the edge. Bucky moaned your name and bit you shoulder trying to suffice his moan. You didn’t give a shit though.
Your eyes rolled back and your hand wrapped around to grab Bucky’s face while the other around his hip, pulling and scratching him pleasurably. You moan, not you practically scream at how intense your oragsm hit you. 
He fell forward softly trying not to crush you  and kissed along your shoulder blades. You panted heavily under him, desperate to catch your breath. You laughed a bit after making him laugh too.
“That was … holy shit, wow,” you gasped.
“Good,” he smiled at you.
“What on earth do we say to others?” you rolled under him so you laid on your back.
“Eh, let ‘em figure it out,” he buried his face in your neck making you laugh. 
You two went another round or two... or seven, until you guys finally rested and slept for the night. Suspiciously no one came looking for either of you.
The next morning you woke up in Bucky’s arms feeling strikingly sore. You never got sore. But considering you and Bucky are both enhanced and went on for hours last night, it doesn’t actually surprise you too much that that’s what it took to get you sore for the first since you've been enhanced with the serum.
You rolled over seeing Bucky still asleep. You were so confused. 
Bucky stirred before opening his eyes meeting yours and smiled pulling you close again. He closed his eyes again and traced little patterns in your skin. 
“What going on in that pretty head of yours, baby girl,” he asked.
“We hate each other,” you whispered.
“We don’t have to,” He opened his eyes again.
“This is a very slippery slope we’re approaching.”
“I know, but I want it. Do you?”
“Yeah,” tears formed in your eyes.
“What if this doesn’t work out though? We’ll hate each other even more,” you said, your voice breaking.
“I don’t know, I don’t think I could ever hate you again. I don’t think I ever really did. Disliked, yeah. But not hate.”
“I’m sorry i treated you like dog shit,” you sniffled making Bucky laughed.
“I’m sorry too.”
“Bucky?”
“Y/n?”
“I hate you,” a tear fell slowly down your cheek. 
“I hate you too," he chuckled, kissing your temple before closing his eyes again.

Captain America: Civil War - My Thoughts
I know this is like 5 years late but for this, I’d like to resurrect a barely dead discourse that succeeded in not just dividing the Avengers but also dividing the fandom. Before we start, content warning for spoilers and let’s dive into this mess.
So, basically, the entire conflict of civil war stemmed from General Thaddeus Ross (who is a hypocritical dick, btw) coming to lecture the Avengers on being destructive despite conducting destructive experiments (ahem, the Abomination and the Hulk) but I digress. Then, Ross presents the Sokovian Accords which is really lengthy and we see Steve reading like a few chapters(?). Now, let us note that the Accords were presented to the Avengers after a mission-gone-wrong killed about 11 people in Lagos (lay-gos, not lah-gos that pronunciation gave me headaches as a Nigerian).
So, the Sokovian Accords were written by 117 countries and vetted by the UN asking for the Avengers to be under oversight (which SHIELD would have done if HYDRA hadn’t infiltrated it in the first place but it is what it is). Somehow, Steve made it about “our right to choose” (how?! Cause I’m not understanding) and decided to not sign*.
*he later got back to sign, then backed out when he learnt that Tony had placed Wanda under house arrest (even though it was for her protection. I do believe Tony should have fully informed Wanda about keeping her in the Avengers’ Tower)
My issues with the plot of Civil War are:
1. The Sokovian Accords were not read out loud or placed on some kind of PowerPoint slide for the audience to understand why Team Cap is against the Accords. No, the fandom wiki is not a source because that one is from Agents of SHIELD and not a lot of MCU fans are familiar with that show (yours sincerely included). Assuming the contents were read out loud or discussed by the Avengers, I’d have understood why Team Cap refused to sign the accords but since none of that was given, I’d remain Team Iron Man for this one.
2. The Sokovian Accords is not the American Constitution. Then again, the MCU fandom tends to be American-centric and most Americans seem to have this belief that the world revolves around them (and it manifests itself in Civil War discourse).
3. Contrary to popular opinion, the Sokovian Accords were about 117 (mostly third-world) countries asserting their sovereignty and boundaries, not taking away rights from the Avengers. If we go by what the MCU wiki claims about the accords, yes, some parts are absurd (like asking for blood samples and using trackers, why are those necessary?). However, when 117 countries state that they want you to respect their boundaries, I think it is best to comply. Unfortunately, respecting boundaries is one thing the USA has a problem complying with and guess who happens to represent America?
4. The Accords affected only their hero lives, not their lives as a civilian. I doubt the UN would limit the Avengers’ movements as civilians
5. Let us not forget how Steve and Clint protect Wanda from accountability and responsibility. Wanda in the MCU is like y/n in many fanfics where everyone (except for the “big bad villain” who in this case is Tony and 117 countries) seems to love her and want to protect her from facing the consequences of her actions. Anyone *ahem Tony* who has a bit of problem with her is suddenly the enemy. Not to mention how Wanda seems to have a knack for causing destruction in African countries (Johannesburg, Lagos, Wakanda)
6. And fandom behaviour from the Team Cap stans
7. Also, why is Civil War not an Avengers part 3? It’s better than making it a Captain America trilogy and then trying to frame Steve as being right.
8. I do believe that the accords were sped up which left little time for the Avengers to discuss and compromise on certain issues. If they were given more time to discuss, compromise and negotiate, I think the movie would have ended better than it had.
9. In addition, I also agree with Team Cap stans on how the UN arbitrarily deciding to shoot Bucky on sight is a human right violation.
10. “The safest hands are our own” why does this sound like a white saviour talk point from Steve? The accords is about 117 countries wanting you to respect their boundaries and the best you can come up with to refute that is saying something a white saviour would say?
11. “Even if the whole world is telling you to move...” just shut the fuck up, this is no way comparable to 117 countries trying to assert their sovereignty.
12. Look if I have to choose between surrendering a few rights as a hero and just dismissing that of civilians as potential damage, I’d go with the former because the people whom I’m suppose to protect come first. For me to dismiss their deaths as “we can’t save em all” is just not it.
13. “She’s just a kid”, a few years later and I still hate that term. One, it’s infantilizing an adult white woman (something white men have historically done and we all know how that went) . Two, while Tony was obviously wrong for not informing Wanda about her house arrest, he was right to keep her in the Tower when they were people who would harm her with every chance they could find. **
** after watching WandaVision, some people might find every reason to want to harm her.
14. Let us also discuss the motivation of those in Team Iron Man vs Team Cap
Team Iron Man
Tony: feels guilty for the events of Age of Ultron, believes that he’s stepped out of line and the Avengers need oversight.
Natasha: believes that the Avengers should listen to the public and the UN after all, if they had one hand on the wheel, they can still steer.
Vision: believes that the Avengers as a whole bring challenge which brings conflict and then catastrophe.
Rhodey: a soldier; believes in following orders especially when it is from the UN and 117 countries.
T’Challa: dude is just there to kill Bucky. I’m sure if Bucky was on team Ironman, my guy would have joined team cap, lmao 😂.
Spider-Man: not really there for a reason except to bring in Steve to Ross. I do agree that Tony shouldn’t have dragged him to the fight without Peter making an informed decision.
Team Cap
Steve: didn’t want to sign because it takes away his “right to choose”. Idk what that means or how it is relevant to the Sokovian Accords but okay. However, I understand his mistrust considering a few movies ago, we found out HYDRA had infiltrated SHIELD and as much as I believe governments are corrupt and the UN is shit, you cannot just enter a country anyhow without warning ahead of time.
Bucky: was his motivation given? I mean, I believe he joined Steve’s side to stop Zeno from unleashing the other winter soldiers. Not that that’s a bad reason, it isn’t.
Sam: again, I don’t think the movie gave us a reason for him being against the Accords. Did he also believe it was taking away his “right to choose”?
Wanda: undecided as of moment of discussion. Joined team cap because Tony placed her on house arrest. While I agree that Tony should have informed her that he was putting her under house arrest and stated the reasons why, I believe it was for good reasons especially when some people might decide to carry out witch hunts (you get it, witch hunts? 😅)
Clint: only joined because Wanda was placed under house arrest. We aren’t given any reason why he would oppose the Accords.
Scott: fan boy of Captain America, need I say more?
15. Also, to Team Cap stans blaming Tony Stark for Team Cap being imprisoned, grow the fuck up. The people in Team Cap are all adults who made their own decisions yet Tony is to blame for them breaking the law (because they did break the law), wtf.
16. “Are you capable of letting go of your ego for one damn second?” Like Steve’s ego didn’t play a part in all this too, lmao.
17. Okay, the final battle was intense and while I believe Bucky was also a victim, I can understand why Tony lashed out at him. The one to blame here is Steve because even if he had no clue Bucky was responsible for the Starks’ death, he still lied to Tony by not telling him who was responsible. It is more appalling to learn that Steve, in an attempt to “protect Tony and Bucky”, was actually covering for HYDRA!
Also, the way Steve stood emotionless while Tony watched a footage of his parents being killed. Yet, he could shield Wanda from watching the news because of how it affected her, okay.
“I can do this all day”, fuck you, Steve
18. Clint exploding at Tony is so fucking hilarious. Tony is right, Clint has a family yet he decided to fight in a war that didn’t concern him. Also, his comments about breaking backs is so tone deaf after Rhodey just broke his back!
19. If Sam was Captain America, I think Civil War wouldn’t have happened at all, from the dialogue in the Raft.
20. Overall, this movie is a fucking mess and I hate it for dividing both the Avengers and MCU fans.
Before I close with this, I want to add that I am not anti-Steve but Civil War really made me hate him. I get, Steve is supposed to be a Boy Scout and shit like that, but he’s a Gary Stu in the MCU, let’s be honest about it. Civil War should have been an Avengers movie, rather than a part of the Captain America trilogy. The Avengers should have been given more time than three days to discuss the Accords and make necessary amendments; after all that went down in Lagos, Wanda should have been made to sit out missions and maybe we could have had someone like Doctor Strange help in training her; Crossbones would have made a great villain but it is what it is; Peter’s introduction to the MCU could have been as him actually interning for the Stark Industries and forming a kind of acquaintance with Tony Stark before Tony finds out that he’s Spider-Man; Steve should have told Tony about HYDRA‘s hands in his parents’ deaths. Anyway, I’ll go read Civil War fix-it fanfics and fanfics where the Avengers are more like family. Fuck Civil War and I’m outta here.
Edit: okay this was a thought I had when I was trying to sleep but it was too good to ignore. Rhodey has a point about Steve arrogance (if that’s the correct term) in saying “the safest hands are our own” and here’s why:
Like he stated “this is not the World Security Council...neither is this SHIELD nor HYDRA” (paraphrased). This is the UN as well as 117 countries. Look, I am as anti-government as one can go and I don’t believe that the UN are reliable (plus, if we really want to go by the AoS version of the Accords, the Accords are flawed and they need amendments), however, given the US records on disrespecting boundaries in many third world countries, I can understand why 117 countries are wary about a bunch of superpowered Americans entering their country.
To us, the Avengers are saving the world. To these 117 countries and the people who have families who were killed in the crossfire (Zemo is a good example), the Avengers are a bunch of nuisances who leave destruction wherever they tread.
I am still neutral on the whole Accords as I don’t know exactly what it entails but for Steve to go “we are surrendering our rights to choose” (again, how is the Accords threatening the Avengers’ right to choose?) when asked to be under oversight is tone deaf.

Tumblr media
August 2024
“Again!” Jamie giggled, splashing his way over to Steve who laughed and waited for Jamie to reach him.
“Ok ,one…two…three…” hooking his hands under Jamie’s armpits he gently launched him into the air and the 4 year old laughed hysterically before he hit the water with a splash in the deeper end of the pool before emerging, from the surface.
“You’re gonna give me a heart attack…” Katie sighed from where she was sat on the steps to the pool, submerged to her shoulders. Rori was suspended in the little inflatable baby support, her legs kicking out behind her as Katie gently pushed her away then pulled her back, the baby smiling and thrashing with her arms.
“He’s fine ain’t you son?” Steve asked as Jamie doggie paddled over to him, grinning.
“It’s like flying Momma!”
“Hmmm.” she said, as Jamie jumped on his dad’s back and he pulled at Steve’s neck. Steve, playing along threw himself backwards taking them both under the surface before he stood up, shaking his head like a dog as Jamie’s laugh hit his ears.
“You’re getting strong pal.” he said, turning his head over his shoulder so he could look at Jamie. Jamie grinned.
“How’s my little water baby doing?” Steve asked as he carried Jamie on his back to where his wife and daughter were, Jamie scrabbling out of the pool and heading to the lounger for a drink.
“She’s fine.” Katie smiled, as Steve turned his attention to Aurora, a huge grin on his face as she looked at him and beamed, waving her legs and arms as fast as she could.
“Look at you princess!” he said as Katie pulled her back towards them. He dropped down so his shoulders were under the water and Rori was at eye level. “Think she’s enjoying it.”
Katie smiled as the two of them watched the baby for a moment before Katie looked up at Jamie who was sat now with Lucky between his legs, gently talking to the dog. “Do you know what time it is?”
Steve glanced at his watch “Almost 4.”
“I should really think about starting dinner.”
“Leave it….” he said, turning to her, pressing his lips to hers. “Come on, when was the last time we got an afternoon like this?”
She smiled, “Feels like a while that’s for sure…”
“So…we can chuck a frozen pizza in for Jamie and we can get a take-out…” he said, moving so he was behind her, his arms curling around her waist, pulling her back so she was perched on his bent legs, his chin resting on her shoulder “Eat by the pool…” he placed a kiss to the crook of her neck, “And then later when he’s in bed and she’s settled we can hit the hot-tub…” another kiss “maybe a bottle of wine…”
“You feeling amorous Soldier?” Katie grinned, tipping her head round to face him.
“Always when you’re concerned…” he winked, his lips again meeting hers, only this time the kiss slightly deeper until they broke apart after a loud splash, followed by a smaller splash drew their attention.
Jamie had launched himself back into the pool, followed by Lucky who had clearly decided he too needed to get in the action.
They stayed in the water for another 15 minutes or so until Rori started to get a bit grouchy, and Katie took her out, wrapping them both in a towel and sitting in the quiet for a while to feed her. Steve and Jamie followed her out a little while later, both drying themselves off before Steve took Jamie inside to get him a juice box and throw his pizza in the oven. Jamie then insisted he wouldn’t make it until his pizza was done as he as starving, so Steve got him quick snack of breadsticks and hummus and sent him back out onto the garden where he made his way over to the side of the pool, flopping down on the lounger next to his Momma.
Deciding that a snack was actually a pretty good idea really, Steve grabbed a few things from the fridge, namely olives, more breadsticks, dips, cheeses and was about to carry it down to the pool area when the security system sounded to tell him that Emmy had come home.
“It’s ok…you’re ok…” his ears picked up Brooke’s voice from the hall and instantly he frowned as he heard Emmy’s deep breathing too. He strode into the hallway just in time to see Emmy slide down to the floor, her back pressed to the door as she tugged her knees to her chest.
“Emmy?” Steve asked, quickly dropping down in front of her. “Hey…look at me…”
She looked up and he gently reached out, his hand smoothing back her hair “Use your numbers ok, like we used too, remember?”
She gripped his hand tight and her eyes screwed shut as she desperately tried to regulate her breathing and Steve, not once taking his eyes off his daughter issued Brooke with an instruction to go and get Katie. Less than 2 minutes later she was also on her knees next to Emmy having left Brooke to watch the younger two and it was a minute or so later before the 16 year old began to breathe normally, her eyes slowly blinking as they returned to their usual size instead of being blown wide open.
“You ok?” Katie asked gently, looking at Emmy. She nodded.
“Sorry…”
“Don’t…” Steve looked at her as she fell into his arms, pressing her face against his bare chest as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her head “Don’t every apologise for that, we told you.” The amount of panic attacks their daughter had had when she first came to live with them meant they’d been fairly used to them, but she hadn’t had one in a VERY long time, not since the events of the Final battle with Thanos had hit her and she’d broken down about losing her Uncle Tony, Auntie Nat and then how close she had to losing her parents. Emmy was a strong, independent teenager who for the most part simply got on with things, letting a lot of stuff that would bother other people wash right over her head. But clearly something had triggered her today.
“You need a drink sweetheart?” Katie asked and Emmy nodded.
“Ok. Think you can stand?” Steve asked.
“You’re not carrying me.” Emmy looked at Steve and he raised an eyebrow.
“You used to love me doing that.” Steve quipped and she rolled her eyes.
“Yeah at the Parties at the Kids home.” she grumbled “I’m not 7 anymore.”
“Never too old for your Pa to carry you.” Steve teased, standing up and offering him her hand. She took it and he pulled her to her feet, and despite her protestations at her age she kept her fingers tightly wound around his as they headed to the kitchen.
“Emmy!” Jamie shot off his seat and threw himself at his older sister. She smiled and bent to give him a hug.
“Hey Jay…” she smiled, “You been swimming?”
“Daddy was throwing me.” he grinned. “I bet he could do it for you too.”
“Sure he could” Emmy smiled as she shakily took a seat, glancing at Rori who was in Brooke’s arms, her little hands tangling in the girl’s long, red hair.
“Jamie, why don’t you go in the den for a moment, watch some TV.” Katie looked at him, adjusting the crochet slip she had thrown on over her bathing suit “Momma and Daddy need to talk to Emmy for a second.”
“But I don’t wanna.” he frowned.
“Hey, why don’t you show me your legos?” Brooke said quickly. Steve could see the cogs in his son’s head whirring as he considered this for a second before he nodded.
“Ok.”
“Thanks Brooke.” Katie said to her as she handed Rori back over.
“No problem Mrs R.” she said, allowing Jamie to tug her by the hand out of the room.
Once they were gone Katie adjusted Rori in her arms so that her head was tucked against her shoulder, mouth resting on her collar bone and Steve took a seat next to Emmy after pouring her a glass of water.
“Wanna tell us what happened Em?” he asked gently.
“We’d just been in The Hub.” she said, “You know the Computer shop because Brooke needed a new charger for her tablet.” Emmy swallowed and took a sip of her drink “We were walking down towards the bus stop so we could head home and we’d just passed that bar on the corner, you know the Irish Pub place?”
“Mc Mahons, yeah we know it…” Steve nodded
“And then he came out.”
“Who?” Katie asked, her eyes not leaving her daughter.
“Him…my old foster father. The one that used to hit me.”
Steve took a deep breath and breathed out through his nose “Did he hurt you?”
“No, not really…he erm, he didn’t recognise me at first and I kept walking but Brook had stopped and when she shouted my name he realised it was me and he grabbed my arm and…”
“Ok…ok…” Katie said gently, as Steve gently laid a hand on their daughter’s shoulder.
“Did he do anything else?” he asked. Emmy shook her head.
“He just started shouting stuff, saying he knew that I’d landed on my feet and that I was nothing but a worthless brat and that he would come and pay you a visit one day, tell you all about what I used to do and how bad I was and then you’d throw me out and…”
“Em, he’s an ass hole.” Katie said gently “You were never a bad kid. You’d been treated appallingly, what that man did do you…” she shook her head “It was cruel and abusive and…”
Steve’s hand fell to Katie’s knee under the table as she looked away, blinking back the tears.
“Emmy, me and your mom love you.” Steve looked at her, “We love all you kids more than anything, and nothing this dick says or does will change the way we feel. You know that right?” “I know, I just didn’t like seeing him that’s all.” she said gently “I just had all these flashbacks to the basement he locked me in and the belt…”
She swallowed and looked down. Steve looked at Katie, the jaw in his nerve twitching with anger as he took a deep breath and ran his hand up Emmy’s back.
“Well I hope he makes good on his promise and does pay us a visit.” he said his eyes flashing “I’d be very happy to exchange a few words with him, maybe a few fists too.”
Emmy smiled softly as Katie shook her head.
“Pretty sure your Uncle Buck would have a something to say too. And between you and me, his Murder Strut is frightening.” “Murder Strut?” Emmy looked up, the corners of her mouth twitching. Katie nodded.
“Trust me, I saw it a few times. Scared the shit out of me.”
“Woah, you saying I’m not scary?” Steve scoffed, folding his arms.
“Bucky’s a Rottweiler, you’re more of an angry retriever.” Katie shrugged and at that point Emmy laughed, which was exactly what her parents had been hoping to achieve. Steve flashed a wink at his wife before he turned back to Emmy.
“You know he won’t ever hurt you again, not now you’re with us.”
“I know. I love you guys.” she smiled and Steve dropped a kiss to her cheek. She looked up, wiped her eyes and then glanced at her mom. “Can Brooke stay tonight?”
“Course she can, I’ll call Jen”
“It’s ok she can message…”
“I’ll call her.” Katie said firmly, “Brooke was there today so Jen has a right to know what happened. Don’t worry, she won’t be mad at you.” “Kay…” Emmy nodded “What’s for dinner?”
“Your dad threw a pizza in for Jamie, we’re gonna get take out and hang by the pool.” Katie said.
“Anything you fancy?” Steve asked.
“Can we try the Greek place?”
“Sure.” Steve nodded “Hey, do they do Shwarma?”
“Gyros.” Katie said, “Same thing almost.”
“I’m in.” Steve said.
“I’m gonna go watch TV for a bit, that ok?”
“Course.” Katie smiled.
Emmy stood up and moved behind her dad, hugging him from behind, her arms round his shoulders. He tilted his head so she could kiss his cheek before she moved to do the same to her mom, giving Rori a peck.
“Love you both.” she smiled at them, before she left the room.
As soon as she was gone Steve stood up, his calm demeanour ebbing away as Katie looked up at him, shaking her head.
“I wanna kill him Steve.”
“You and me both doll.” he paced.
“Think we should call the police?” Katie asked, gently rocking Rori to and fro as she had started to grumble.
Steve contemplated what she had said before he paused, folded his arms and looked at the door, then back to Katie “I got a better idea.”
“What?”
“Do you trust me?” he asked.
“You know I do”
“Then leave it with me.” he said simply
“Steve…” she stated, instantly understanding what he was implying “You can’t.” “Why not?”
“Well, for starters we have no idea where he lives.”
Steve snorted “Sweetheart, you’re forgetting who we know.”
“Oh, no…you can’t drag Sam into this.” Katie shook her head “Ross is being an asshole with him as it is without you giving him ammo by getting Sammy into trouble.”
“I’m not” Steve smiled, raising his eyebrow “I’m gonna drag Bucky into it instead.“
****** Bucky sat at the bar, baseball cap tugged down over his eyes. He’d been reliably informed his target drank in this run-down back dive every Wednesday and Thursday evening. He liked the happy hour, apparently.
Aint gonna be happy for much longer, buddy.
Despite the fact that he was trying to live a normal life now (ok, maybe helping Sam out every now and then) when Steve had asked him to help him with this particular mission he’d immediately said yes. Not simply because Steve was his best friend, but because it involved Emmy. As far as Buck was concerned, the Rogers kids might as well be his own in that respect because he’d give his life to protect any of them.
And then there was Brooke. Bucky had been dating Brooke’s mom, Jennifer now for a few weeks after they’d hit it off at Steve’s birthday party. It was great, slow moving but that’s what he wanted, and when he’d heard that her daughter had been caught up in all this business as well, it was another reason for him to slip back into his old assassin mode.
Only this time his instructions were clear. Apprehend alive.
At first when Steve had told him this he had been about to tease him, wind him up, surely after all these years the Captain had finally found that trigger to flip him over to the dark side, but then he had seen something stir in his best pal’s eyes. He’d told him then about an incident in a HYDRA base, where he had killed on of Katie’s captors and Bucky knew, it was there alright, and he had a feeling he was going to see it whenever they caught this punk.
He ordered another drink, his eyes re-reading the paper he’d brought with him for the 15th time. To most people stake-out work like this would get them bored, antsy, but not Bucky. He’d waited much longer before and he knew that if you got like that you lost concentration which made things 100 times harder in the long run. His eyes scanned back to the entrance to the bar, flicking back round the pub, and he observed the people to make sure he hadn’t missed the man sneaking in, even though he knew that was basically impossible. Satisfied he hadn’t, he took the drink off the bar tender, paid him (another rule of spy work- never set up tabs, you run without paying and your face is recognised all over the damned scene). He took a sip of his beer before he heard the door open and he looked round, fighting the smirk on his face as finally his target walked in and straight to the bar to Bucky’s right.
The man ordered his drink, a straight black label whiskey and when it was served he paid with a bunch of crumpled ones and picked the glass up, heading to a table.
Bucky had to hand it to the guy, in the half an hour he spent in the bar he knocked back a good 5 helpings of scotch before he stood up, and rather unsteadily made his way to the door. Giving him enough time to get out of the door, Bucky then rose and followed him. He tailed him into another bar, then another, before after the 3rd the man headed home.
Bucky watched him unlock the door to the rundown apartment block, before he staggered inside. Quick as a flash Bucky shot over the road, sticking his foot in the door to stop it from shutting. Slipping inside he pressed himself up against the dark wall, just to the side of the post boxes, as the man turned around. After a second or so Bucky heard him heading up the stairs. He walked to the bottom of the steps, and keeping his footsteps light he headed after him and emerged onto the second landing, peering round the wall to watch as the man stopped outside a door, pulling out his keys.
Bucky waited until the door was closed before he headed back down to the ground floor, pulling out his phone.
“I got him.”
***** Steve climbed out of his car, looking up at the ramshackle building before he crossed the road. Bucky was waiting for him and opened the door to the apartment block from the inside.
“What you come dressed as?” Bucky arched an eyebrow, scanning Steve up and down. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans, a dark navy t-shirt and black boots, with a cap pulled down over his face.
“You.” Steve said simply, and Bucky snorted.
“He’s on the Second floor.” he said simply “Number 202. Still think you should just let me shoot him.”
“No.” Steve said “We’re not killing him…”
Bucky rolled his eyes “Why?”
“Because I want him as scared as he made Emmy.” Steve said simply. “He can spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.”
Bucky shrugged, “Your call…”
Steve headed to the stairs and started to climb them, stopping as he heard his foot crunch on something.
“Nice place…” he mumbled as he looked down to see he had stood on a cockroach.
“Don’t be a snob Stevie…”  Bucky looked at him, and Steve rolled his eyes.
“Even my place in the 40s wasn’t this grim.” he turned to look at his friend before he continued up the flight of steps.
“It wasn’t the ritz either.” Bucky shrugged as they emerged onto the landing. They stopped outside the door and Steve took a breath before he looked at Bucky.
“Looks like we need a key….” he quipped. Bucky gave a smirk, before he drew his left hand back and punched straight through the door, grabbing the handle and turning it to undo the lock from the inside. He threw it open and strode inside, Steve casting a look around before he followed and pulled the door shut behind them. Hearing the noise the man flew out of the kitchen, a knife in his hand, stopping dead when he saw Bucky.
“Who the fuck are you?” he demanded.
Bucky simply raised his eyebrows.
“Look, if Mario sent you…I told him, he’ll get his money…”
“I don’t know any Mario…” Bucky shook his head, “Well, not unless you count the one that rides on the karts in that game my nephew enjoys kicking my ass at. Now put the knife down Jack before someone gets hurt.”
“How do you know my name?” Jack asked, his eyes not once leaving Bucky, missing the Captain who was stood in the darkness of the room behind him. “What the fuck do you want?”
“I don’t want anything…” Bucky said, shrugging, “But he does…”
At that point Steve stepped forwards, drawing up besides his friend, getting a good look at the man in front of him. He was quite tall, but lanky, with a pointed noise and sharp features, reminding Steve of an overgrown rat.  Which fitted him perfectly, out and out vermin. Jack frowned and squinted slightly as he looked straight at Steve, suddenly paling even further. Whilst Steve looked a lot different from the once blue-eyed All American hero the world recognised him to be, there was no mistaking who he was, especially to the man in question. Steve stood stock still, his hands falling to the buckle which was round the waist of his black jeans, his chest flexing under his navy t-shirt as he glared at the man.
“Woah…look…I don’t want any trouble…” Jack began to press.
“You should have thought about that before you touched and threatened my daughter.” Steve’s voice was icy.
Jack’s hand clenched around the knife and Bucky rolled his eyes, before he whipped off the glove on his left hand, holding it up, the metal glinting in the dim light of the lamp that stood in the corner of the grubby apartment.
“This can do far more damage than that blade can.” he said simply, looking at his hand before he turned to Jack “Go ahead, I’ll even give you one free swing. But it better be fast.”
Steve expected the man to drop the knife, but instead he lunged forwards. Bucky sighed, and almost lazily dodged to the right before he knocked the knife out of the man’s hand with a single swipe and gripped him around the neck with his hand, slamming him hard into the wall.
“That was really fucking stupid.” he said, tightening his fingers around the man’s windpipe, lifting him off the floor. The man grabbed at Bucky’s arm, desperately trying to prise his fingers from around his neck.
“Buck…” Steve said, and Bucky let go, Jack slumping to the floor. Steve reached down, grabbed his shirt and hauled him to his feet slamming him against the wall.
“Now…” Steve said, his hands tightening. “I don’t like bullies. And that’s what you are. I know exactly what you did to Emmy, all the times you beat her, hurt her, whipped her with a belt until her back split and bled. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t rip you in half right now.”
“Captain America…nah…you wouldn’t…” Jack stuttered, shaking his head “You’re a good guy…”
“Well, here’s the thing.” Bucky said, picking up the knife that Jack had dropped, leaning on the wall, lazily twirling the blade in his hand. “He’s not Captain America anymore. Just some guy whose daughter you threatened.”
“Which makes me a hundred times more dangerous…” Steve said.
“And I, well, I just don’t give a shit.” Bucky shrugged “Killed a lot of people one way or another…what’s one more piece of shit like you gonna mean?”
Jack looked at Steve, shaking his head “No, you wouldn’t…”
“I snapped the neck of the man who raped my wife.” Steve said, his gaze not once leaving the man’s in front of him “Trust me, you have no idea what I would do to keep my family safe.”
He paused for a second, letting it sink in as Jack swallowed.
“But I’m a fair man.” Steve said, letting go of Jack who dropped a few inches before he pulled himself back up full height. Steve smoothed down the man’s dirty t-shirt before he smiled at him. “So I’m gonna give you a chance to play ball. You got 48 hours to leave New York.” “By that we mean the state.” Bucky clarified.
“And if I ever get a sniff that you’re back in town…” Steve continued.
“And trust us, we’ll know…” Bucky mused, still looking at the knife before he grinned at Jack “We got friends in high places, eyes and ears everywhere…” “….then you’ll lose more than your teeth.” Steve concluded, matter of factly.
“My teeth? What do-“
CRACK.
Steve cut him off with a sharp jab straight into his mouth and Jack dropped to the floor howling in pain as the blood poured from between his fingers which clamped over the lower part of his face.
“Got the message?” Steve asked, standing over him as Jack rolled around, screaming. He mumbled something, his head nodding furiously.
“Can I shoot him now?” Bucky asked.
“No.” Steve shook his head.
“Just once in the knee?”
“No.” Steve snorted “Come on…let’s get out of here, the amount of noise he’s making someone’s bound to hear. He turned to go, and then heard another loud scream. Spinning around he saw that Jack’s hand was now pinned to the floor by the knife Bucky had been holding.
“What?” Bucky asked, shrugging as Steve shot him a look “You said I couldn’t shoot him, didn’t say anything about stabbing him.”
***** The two friends sat at a bar, not far from Steve’s house, each with a beer in hand.
“So, run that by me again…” Bucky said.
“I told Katie I was meeting you for a drink.” Steve shrugged, nodding at the bottle “Technically now I’m not lying.”
“You’re a punk.” Bucky snorted.
“She’ll know full well where I’ve been.” Steve shrugged “She ain’t stupid…”
“Good luck to you pal.” Bucky said, taking a drink “She’s scary when she’s angry.”
Steve snorted “Nah, she won’t be mad…she knew full well I was planning on giving him a warning so…”
“Then why not just tell her?” “Because she’d worry.” Steve said simply.
“Think he’ll heed it?” Bucky asked after a little pause and Steve pondered the question for a moment before he nodded.
“Like I said he’s a bully.” he took a swig of his beer before he looked at Bucky “You know as well as I do that the minute someone bigger stands up to them they back off.”
“Gotta hand it to you pal…” Bucky said, sitting back “You come a long way since you were defending yourself with a trash can lid behind the movie theatre down town…”
“So everyone says.” Steve shrugged “Still don’t feel any different.”
“Remember when Howard’s flying car was the strangest thing we had ever seen?” Bucky sighed “I almost miss those days.” “Would you go back?” Steve asked, “Given the chance?”
Bucky took a deep breath and wrinkled his nose “Nah, I’m too different…too much has happened you know. I don’t think I’d settle. Plus this would probably attract a little more attention than it does now.” he said, flexing his left hand.
Steve smiled “I know what you mean. If you’d asked me when I first came round…I’d have jumped at the chance but after Katie…” he took another drink before he let out a soft huff. “I crossed oceans of time to find her.”
Bucky raised an eyebrow. “Dracula…romantic.” he said and Steve let out a laugh.
“Speaking of romantic…” Steve looked at his friend “How’s it going with Jen?”
“Ok.”
“Just ok?”
“I’m taking it slow.” Bucky shrugged “We’ve been on a few dates and…yeah I like her Steve and she likes me so…”
“Well if you ever want any advice on modern day dating…”
“The day I ask you for dating advice is the day I quit.” Bucky snorted
“I did ok.” Steve grinned “Well, more than ok actually. I lucked out.”
“No, you got what you deserved.” Bucky shook his head “A woman that loves you for who you are, not what you are.” Steve felt his cheeks flush a little as he shrugged “Not quite sure what I did to deserve her but…”
“You’re a good man.” Bucky said “You always were and always have been. A pain in my ass like, but…” he drained his beer and shook his head “Anyway, enough sentimental crap. You want another?”
Steve contemplated that before he shrugged “Sure, why not?”
One more turned into 5 more, and it was a good 2 hours later and approaching midnight when the men left. It wasn’t the first time they’d been out for drinks since being re-united, but to Steve it was the first time that it felt like the old days. They’d talked about so many memories, he’d laughed until he had cried as they both recalled some of their antics, and he felt completely at peace when he walked into the hallway of his house.
Removing his cap he ran a hand through his hair before he hung it on the coat rack on the wall. Then he dropped his keys into that infernal golden pineapple bowl that Katie had bought him all those years ago and headed into the lounge where Katie was sat in her pyjamas, Rori clutched to her breast as she fed.
“Hey…” he smiled, crossing the floor and dropping a kiss to her lips before he turned his attention to his daughter, his finger gently running along her hardworking cheek.
“You have a good time?” she asked, giving a little yawn.
“Yeah.” Steve nodded. “It was nice. When did she wake up?”
“About half an hour ago.” Katie shrugged “With a bit of luck she’ll go down again soon and sleep for a couple of hours.”
“I’ll do the next feed.” Steve said “You can get some rest.”
“Ok.” Katie agreed, yawning again and as she did so Rori mimicked her, her eyes which were now carrying a slight greenish hue fluttering. Steve gestured for Katie to hand her over, and she did so as Steve held her up over her shoulder, hands that had hours ago been so violent were now ever so gentle, rubbing his daughter’s back to wind her as Katie adjusted her top.  They sat there in silence for a little while before Katie finally spoke.
“So how badly did you hurt him?”
“What?”
“Jack?” She turned her head to Steve who looked at her “I know full well what you were up to.”
“I knew you would.” Steve huffed a laugh “And not too badly. Knocked a few of his teeth out…oh, and Bucky nailed his hand to the floor with a knife. He won’t be bothering Emmy again, or any of us for that matter.”
Katie looked at him for a moment before Rori gave a light burp and Steve gently turned his face, pressing his lips to the baby’s head.
“Here…” Katie said, and Steve handed her over “I’ll go put her down.”
She gathered the baby in her arms before she dropped a kiss to Steve’s mouth “Don’t be too long…”
He arched an eyebrow. “Yeah?”
“Well, you know what you getting all dark and protective does to me…” she grinned, looking down at Rori “That’s what made her in the first place.”
Steve’s eyes darkened at the memory of that particular day in the HYDRA base which he was recalling for the second time in the space of a few hours, albeit for very different reasons. “How could I forget?”
Standing up she walked to the door, Steve watching her go, before she shot him a coy look over her shoulder his pants became a lot tighter than they should have been. He gave a soft groan, before his head fell back against the cushion of the sofa. After a moment or two he stood up and turned off the lights, before heading up the stairs after his wife.
He stood in the doorway, watching as she placed Rori in the crib at the end of the bed before he strode over to her, his hands falling to her waist as he spun her round, his lips crashing to hers. She took the kiss eagerly, her tongue sliding against his as he backed her towards the bed, her hands fumbling with his belt as they went. Neither were wasting any time, and after a quick wrestle with their clothing they both collapsed onto the bed, Steve caging his wife underneath him with his arms and legs.
Their eyes locked for a second before he pressed his lips to hers and kissed her again, slow and hard, both his hands cupping her face, thumbs gently skating her cheeks as she let out a soft groan and he felt his cock twitch. His lips not once leaving hers his right hand gently slid down to her thigh, and his fingers gently gave her hip a squeeze causing her to sigh into his mouth again. Using his hand he hooked her leg round his waist, and ground his erection against her spot causing her to moan as she pulled away from the kiss, her head laying further back against the pillow, her eyes fluttering shut as his mouth dropped, swirling softly around her pebbled nipples, carefully lavishing affection on them in turn, and in moments she was quivering to his touch, her breathing ragged.
“Look at me…” he said, voice low, almost a growl and her eyes sprang open obediently, those sparkling emeralds glinting in the dim light as he held her gaze as he pushed into her, her breath catching in her throat. He stilled for a moment, enjoying her warmth as it gripped him before he moved his hips back, thrusting into her again. His pace was hard, deep and he continually dragged in and out of her, dropping his head to kiss and lick and suck all along her collar bone, knowing full well he would leave marks there for the morning but neither of them cared as their moans grew louder as his thrusts grew more desperate.
"Fuck.” he groaned, both hands now on her hips as he continued his movements and Katie’s hands moved to brace herself against the headboard, her body moving with every slam he made into her. One hand moved to the back of her head and he used it to make her look up, her eyes locking onto his as he felt her body start to quiver.
“I love you…” he said, his pace not slowing in the slightest.
“Love you too Soldier…” her words stuttered as he thrust up hard, stilling slightly, grinding up against her, as she writhed underneath him, a desperate, filthy noise escaping her mouth as her back arched and her hands flew to his back, nails scratching at his skin. God he loved the feel of her doing that, the stinging pain mixed with the pleasure was a heady mix and he took in a sharp breath, dropping his mouth to capture hers as she moaned again, this moan broken as she bucked upwards and clutched at him desperately.
“Stevie…” she moaned and her walls tightened on him as she came, her entire body trembling underneath him and he pulled back so he could watch her, lips swollen from his desperate kisses, cheeks flushed, eyelids fluttering against her cheeks. He continued his pace, her eyes opening moments late to lock onto his as the spring that had been coiled so tightly suddenly released and he spilled himself insider her with a low, rough grunt of her name and he tipped forwards, his hips slowing to a stop as he buried his face in her neck.
The pair of them lay still, the only sounds in the bedroom now were the deep, ragged drawings of breath. Katie gently ran her hands through his hair, as she always did, Steve’s body on top of hers rising and falling through the movements of her deep breathing.  Eventually he raised his head gently and pressed their foreheads together, his nose sliding up and down hers. She smiled at him, and pressed her lips to his in a soft kiss before he rolled over onto his back, and she snuggled into him, her head on his chest. He reached for her left hand which was laying flat against his abs and raised it to his mouth, pressing a kiss to her knuckles, just underneath where her wedding band sat.
“I love you, I love you all so much.” he said gently. She raised her head to look at him, smiling as she kissed him softly.
“I know, I love you. We all do.”
She was asleep before him, Steve lay awake for a little while longer contemplating everything that had gone down that evening. He’d crossed that line again, the darkness that had awoken all those years ago had bubbled inside of him and he wasn’t going to lie, it had been satisfying, and despite what he had said to Bucky, he would have happily killed the snivelling bastard with his bare hands and not even blinked twice about doing so. But something had stopped him short this time, and he knew now what it was.
His kids.
Back then they hadn’t been in the picture, and he wanted to be able to look them in the eye and tell them right from wrong without feeling like a hypocrite. Steve Rogers was a good man, a loyal husband, doting father, and he wanted to be worthy of the love that surrounded him on a daily basis.
He looked down at his sleeping wife before he shifted slightly, dropping a kiss to her head before he closed his eyes and fell into a trouble free sleep.

Tumblr media
Chapter 16: Reminiscing
“I think we should all watch porn in the home theater.”
Our whole group had stopped at a cafe on the way home from dropping the kids off and had brunch together.  Something we’d never actually done as a complete group before and was even rare for any of us in general.  It was nice.  Some of the guys ordered mimosas and Bruce ordered four of everything on the breakfast menu.  It felt like the first actual date all of us had been on as a group.
On the way home, we talked about the things we could do with our first kid-free time since the honeymoon.  Of course, most of them seemed to revolve around sex, though there had been a couple of votes for a big group nap and watching all those TV shows we couldn’t watch with the kids there because of their content.  So while Tony’s suggestion wasn’t completely out of left-field, every single one of us was shocked.
“No one wants to watch porn, Tony,” Steve deadpanned.
“Now, now,” Clint said.  “Let’s not table the idea completely.”
“Yeah, Steve,” Natasha teased.  “Speak for yourself.”
“What is… porn?”  Thor asked.
Clint and Tony stared at the god with their mouths open.  “How many years have you been visiting earth and you don’t have porn?”
“I’m more curious that porn doesn’t exist on Asgard,” Bruce said.  “I would have thought that was a universal constant.”
Thor looked at everyone, waiting for someone to explain.  “Nope, that settles it, we’re watching porn in the theater.”
“I don’t want to watch porn in the theater,” Steve sighed.
“Can someone please explain to me what this word means?”  Thor said.
“Porn is basically just material featuring people having sex,” Sam explained.  “In this case, he wants to watch videos of people having sex in the theater room.”
“Oh, erotica,” Thor said in understanding.  “I have not heard that term before.”
“Wait, Steve, before you say no completely, think about this,” he said.  “FRIDAY can flip the floor so that there are no chairs.  Just a great big bed that will fit all of us.”
“It’s not the seating arrangement that I take issue with, Tony,” Steve argued.  “I don’t want to watch porn.”
“Hey, Steve,” Clint said, coming over to him and running his palm over Steve’s arm.  “What if it wasn’t just random strangers?  What if we watch the videos that we made for the others.  Remember when everyone was on the mission and El and I kept fucking all over the place?”
I hummed.  “Those were the days.  Remember when we could just fuck all over the place?”
“We could never do that, Elise,” Steve scolded.  “You and Clint just didn’t care. And now you do.”
“That’s our plan for tomorrow, huh, El?”  Clint teased.
I giggled and nodded my head.  “Aye, me hearty.”
Clint cracked up laughing while Natasha gave him a confused look.
“So how about it, Steve?”  Sam said, coming up behind Steve and running his hand up the super-soldier’s stomach.  “Wanna watch those videos you made for us?  They were very hot.”
Steve seemed to think it over and a smile crept over his face.  “I’m in.”
Everyone else agreed too.  Apart from Thor, everyone had seen at least two out of three of the videos Clint and I had made with the help of Steve and Bruce, and they all seemed eager to see them again.
We filed into the home theater and as we entered the room the chairs all sunk into the floor and a large bed emerged from the ceiling, completely made up.  We climbed into bed and the first of the movies we’d made started up.  It was the one of Bruce and me on the recliner.  My legs were spread and my face was a mask of ecstasy as his fingers moved inside me.  Bruce’s face was set in deep concentration, but his eyes had that green tinge they used to get when Hulk was watching.
“Banner, you were being much more brazen than you usually were,” Thor said, clapping Bruce on the shoulder.
Bruce blushed and ran his hand through his hair.  “Clint and Elise had spent the whole day getting me and everyone else worked up.”
“I wish I had been there, it sounds like it was most enjoyable,” Thor said.
“It was really just a way for me to deal with the stress of what was going on.  The mission was dangerous and I felt pretty helpless,” I explained.  “So Clint was trying to distract me and Bruce because he was on the verge of Hulking out.”
“And I am awesome at sex,” Clint said.
“Is that so, little bird,” Thor said and pulled Clint into a hungry kiss.  Clint has a sudden look of surprise on his face before closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around Thor’s neck.
“God, look how young I look,” I said.
“Young and about to come,” Tony teased, walking his fingers up the inside of my leg.
“You do look close, El,” Sam teased.
“And young,” Bucky said.  “Jesus Tasha, why were you pursuing a fetus?”
“I like ‘em young,” Natasha joked, as the younger me cursed and came hard around Bruce’s fingers.
“God that was so sexy,” Steve said.  “When I opened that video on the way down to you, it made me so hard.”
“Looks like it has now too, Cap,” Sam said, massaging Steve’s crotch.
In the film, Bruce has offered his soaked fingers to me and I was sucking them clean.
“I liked your hair like that,” Wanda said.
I giggled.  “Are you saying you don’t like it now?”
“No, I do like it,” Wanda said, breaking down into giggles too.
“Maybe she just means in that sex messed way,” Bruce suggested.
The video switched to one of Clint on all fours and Steve easing a plug out of his ass.
“No,” Wanda giggled.  “That’s not it.  It’s just shorter now.”
“Oh yeah, remember when you cut it all off?  Why’d you cut it again?”  Tony asked.
“Because Riley would grab handfuls of it and nearly yank it out of my scalp,” I said.  “I kinda miss it short.  I liked how it barely took anything to look after it.  I’m thinking about getting a mohawk.”
“Oh, like Carol?”  Natasha asked.  “That would be hot as hell. Do that.”
“Are we really talking about El’s haircut while there’s a video of Steve fingering Clint’s ass playing?”  Tony asked.
“Mm, I think you’re right,” Natasha said.  “I think we might all need to be getting rid of our clothes.”
“Now we’re talking,” Tony said, quickly stripping off his clothes.
The rest of us followed suit, Bruce shifting down, so his clothes just fell away due to their size.  By the time we were all naked, the video was showing Clint on his back and Steve was easing his cock into Clint’s ass.
Bruce crawled over to me and pulled me into his lap.  I curled against his chest and kissed his neck.  Around us the others were doing similar things, kissing as they watched the video.  Bucky had started to slowly finger Wanda and Sam was eating Natasha out as she jerked Steve’s cock.  “You know,” Bruce whispered to me.  “Things have changed so much for me since Asgard.  I feel complete and confident and totally happy.  I’ve never had that before.  But I remember this day, and you and Clint taking care of me when I was so stressed out.  When we got word that everyone was coming home.  I felt so relieved and accepted.  That was the closest I’ve ever felt to how I do right now.  And that was because of you.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Mm-hmm,” Bruce said, slipping a hand between my legs and massaging my cunt.  “You did a lot for me.  What can I do for you?”
“You know what I want right now?”  I whispered.
“I’m guessing it’s something really dirty,” Bruce chuckled.
“I want four dicks in me,” I whispered against his ear.
Bruce circled his fingers over my clit and looked around at the others.  In the video, Steve had started to jerk Clint off as he fucked him and I knew Clint wasn’t far off from blowing his load.
“Thor, Clint, Tony?  Care to join us?” Bruce asked.  “Our girl here wants to be stuffed tight.”
“Is that gonna be safe for the baby?”  Tony asked as he moved over.
“Uh-huh,” I moaned softly as Bruce pushed a finger inside me.  “I’m not even showing yet, none of you will even get close to it.  It’s all protected in its little house.”
Tony chuckled.  “Darling, I am a genius, you didn’t need to dumb it down.”
He grabbed a tube of lube from a compartment at the head of the bed and we moved to the edge of the mattress.  Bruce lay down with his legs over the end of the bed and Clint began to lube up Bruce’s cock.  I straddled Bruce’s waist and Clint guided him inside of me.
“I guess I’m gonna be the one doing the acrobatic stuff,” Clint said, as he lubed up his cock.
“Well, you are the acrobat,” Tony teased.
I started to bounce on Bruce’s cock as I watched the screen.  Steve was pounding into Clint’s ass and jerking him off and Clint arched his back and came all over himself.
Thor stepped up between Bruce’s legs adding more lube, and teasing my entrance with his fingers. As he did Clint began to do the same to my ass.  I moaned loudly and buried my face in Bruce’s neck.
“I’ve got you,” Bruce whispered.
“No,” Tony said, lifting my chin.  “Don’t you want to put that pretty mouth of yours to good use?”
“Yes, Tony,” I moaned.  Thor had two fingers pushing in and out of me along the length of Bruce’s cock, stretching me so I could take him too.  Clint had started adding a second finger into my ass and I was already starting to question what I’d gotten myself into.
Tony teased the head of his cock over my lips. I flicked my tongue over the slit of his cock, and he hummed.  “Come on now, darling,” Tony purred.  “Open wide.”
I opened my mouth and he pushed his cock inside.  I closed my eyes and started to suck his cock.  The sounds of moans filled the room.  Not just from us but from the speakers.  My own desperate moans blasted around us.
I was barely even aware of that, all my attention was on the way my holes were being stretched.
Thor lined himself up and eased in.  My cunt stretched and burned to accommodate him, and Bruce groaned and bucked up into me.  My sounds were muffled by Tony’s cock as he slowly rolled his hips.
When Thor had pushed in as deep as he could, Clint climbed up over me into a crouched position and lined himself up to my ass.  The head of his cock pressed against my asshole.  I moaned, trying to just keep my focus on sucking up and down on Tony’s cock, but as Clint sunk into my ass, I cried out, releasing Tony’s cock.
The four men all gave me a moment to adjust.  On the screen, I was scrambling for purchase as Steve railed into me.  Natasha, Sam, and Steve had formed a train, Steve fucking into Sam as Sam fucked Natasha, and beside them, Wanda was riding Bucky.  I could feel everyone, but none of them could detract from how completely and utterly stretched and full I felt.
As I adjusted, Thor, Bruce, and Clint started to thrust, Tony grabbed my hair and pulled my head back.  I opened my mouth and he thrust back in.
They started slow, letting me get used to them penetrating me.  It danced a line between pleasure and pain, but as they picked up the pace and I started to feel fuzzy and unfocused, it felt nothing but good. Pleasure surged through me and I moaned and gagged on Tony’s cock.
Bruce held me close and Clint pressed down on my back as he balanced above me and thrust into my ass.  “Oh, god,” Bruce moaned.  “Feels so good.  Can feel you.”
“That’s right, Bruce,” Thor rumbled.  “All of us together.”
He ran his large hands around my hips and a spark danced between us, making my muscles clench out of my control.  I came suddenly and without warning, releasing Tony’s cock.  Bruce groaned and his hips stuttered as he tried to keep himself together but it was no good.  He arched his back and came, moaning as he released.
Thor and Clint pulled out and I rolled off Bruce.  I thought they were going to just change position, but Thor, Clint, and Tony just crowded around me, pumping their cocks.  I looked up at them, fuzzy and slightly euphoric.  I opened my mouth and squeezed my breasts together as I arched my back.  They seemed to be trying to time it so they all finished at once.  Each of them frantically pumping their cocks.
Clint finished first, moaning and letting his head drop back as he released in hot ribbons over my stomach.  Thor and Tony weren’t far behind.  Each jerking and releasing over me until I was painted with copious amounts of their hot mess.
As my breathing evened out and I started coming down from my orgasm high, I became aware that not only had the video stopped but the others were just watching us.
“See, Steve,” Tony said, putting the lube back and grabbing some wipes.  “I told you it was a good idea.”
“When you’re right, you’re right,” Steve agreed, taking one of the wipes and starting to help Tony clean me up.  “I have worked up quite the appetite now.  Is anyone else hungry?”
There was the noise of agreement and everyone started to get redressed.  “I say we order sushi and El can take a shower and when it gets here we eat it off her naked body,” Natasha said.  “That’s something we’d never do with the kids here?”
“Why me?” I protested.
“Well, you don’t mind getting messy obviously,” she teased.  “And it’s traditionally supposed to be a woman and Wanda and I have baby bumps and you don’t.”
“How will I eat?” I asked.  “And you know you’re not supposed to eat sushi right?”
“No,” she argued.  “Just no raw fish.  Wanda and I can eat the vegetarian ones or I’ll have the ones with cooked fish.  Plus, we’ll feed it to you.”
I chuckled and relented.  “Alright, I’ll do it.  But you owe me.”
“Don’t worry, mishka,” she teased. “I’m sure we can all work out ways to repay you.”

Ode to Yoga Pants
OR the continued terrible mating dance of Bucky and Tony
AKA when betting on your friends stops being fun
Title: Ode to Yoga Pants Collaborator Name: Riot Bucky Barnes Bingo Square Filled: K5, Team Dynamics StarkBucks Bingo Square Filled: O5, “I’d like it if you stayed.” Ship/Main Pairing: WinterIron Rating: M Major Tags & Triggers: Mutually pining morons, humor Summary: OR the continued terrible mating dance of Bucky and Tony, AKA when betting on your friends stops being fun Word Count: 2,282
Here on AO3!
-
Tony is heading to the gym for Steve’s newly mandated team training time and yeah, he’s late, but he does have coffee. So at least he’s on brand.
It looks like everyone else has beat him here, which isn’t really surprising, and Tony tosses out a grin and wave in response to the unimpressed look Steve shoots him.
Then his eyes land on Bucky. Who is doing one armed pushups. Completely vertically, pointed toes up in the air and strands of hair falling loose around his face where it’s come loose from the hair tie. And he is in yoga pants.
They hug his calves, his ass, his thighs, tight black spandex with gray piping up sides and Tony is weak.
Forget team bonding, Tony needs to get out of here right now, before he makes a fool of himself. Except he spins too quickly, hot coffee sloshing over the rim of his mug and onto his fingers, and he’s so busy hissing over the sharp burst of pain that he walks straight into the door as it swings shut.
“Ack, fuck,” Tony gasps, more hot coffee splashing out across his hand, rubbing at his forehead and apparently he’s a little dizzy because he goes to take a step back and tilts to the side instead, bouncing off the wall.
He’s almost caught his balance, and then he trips over Sam’s stupid jump rope, and then his thighs hit the weight bench and he tumbles backwards over it, the last dregs of his coffee somehow ending up entirely on his chest.
“Damnit Wilson,” Tony grumbles, “I knew you were out to get me!”
There’s a soft chuckle from somewhere above him, and Tony pries his eyes open. He’s half expecting to see Sam, ready to defend himself and deny that he’s trying to kill Tony with workout equipment even though he very clearly is.
Instead it’s Bucky, leaning over him all shirtless and sweaty and concerned.
“You okay, doll?”
When Tony tries to speak all that comes out is a strangled gurgling sound, and Bucky’s concerned look gets deeper.
-
“Gross, they’re doing it again,” Sam complains, pausing mid situp to shoot a glare across the gym.
When Steve glances away from sparring with Natasha she takes the opportunity to pop him in the throat.
“This isn’t even funny anymore,” Natasha says while Steve coughs and hacks and gives her a dirty look.
“It stopped being funny weeks ago,” Rhodey says as he leans against the ropes of the boxing ring and shakes his head in disappointment.
“You’re just saying that because that’s when you were officially out of the betting pool,” Clint says with a snort.
“I really didn’t think it would take them this long,” he says with a morose sigh, “I’m ashamed.”
Steve makes a sound that might be agreement.
“New bet, how much worse can it possibly get?” Sam tries to joke, but he has a terrible feeling that it’s not a joke at all.
“I think we’re all the losers in that bet,” Natasha says as they all watch Bucky help a still clearly-swooning Tony out of the gym.
The poor pining morons don’t even notice they have an audience. Just like Bucky somehow doesn’t notice that Tony is literal putty in his hands, and Tony mysteriously doesn’t notice Bucky giving him the sappiest heart eyes ever.
It’s shameful, is what it is.
-
Tony lets Bucky drag him into the kitchen, sinks onto one of the stools when gently pushed in that direction, and he’s becoming uncomfortably aware that his shirt is still splattered with cooling coffee and probably clinging to his chest.
He should probably go change, and then maybe go hide out somewhere until he figures out how to deal with Bucky in yoga pants.
But before Tony can figure out how to convince his legs to actually move, Bucky is done digging around in the freezer and by his side again.
“Ow,” Tony says with an exaggerated wince as Bucky presses a bag of ice to the back of his head, and then nearly melts out of his seat when Bucky shushes him with a wide palm running down the back of his neck.
He’s not actually as rattled as Bucky seems to think he is, but Tony certainly isn’t going to correct him. It’s a much safer excuse than admitting his brain went to mush the second he saw Bucky’s thighs, all wrapped up and accentuated in tight black spandex, and it still hasn’t quite come back online.
From here, with Bucky standing beside him and gently holding his head still while Tony stares studiously at the floor, all Tony can see of Bucky is his foot. The tight black fabric ends just above the delicate bones of his ankle, his bare toes wiggling against the tile floor as he pulls the ice away and inspects Tony’s head.
Forget getting his brain working again, Tony is just trying to keep his stupid heart from crawling its way up his throat over ankles. Like some kind of repressed Puritan, Jesus.
Which means he can’t at all stop himself from nervously stuttering out “Those-those are uh, nice... you like yoga pants huh?”
There’s a vague sense of motion beside him, like Bucky is shrugging, as he says “They’re comfortable.”
“Uh huh, they-“ Tony starts to say, and then nearly swallows his tongue when Bucky steps around in front of him again.
His eyes automatically drag upwards, and it takes everything Tony has not to let himself linger, not to get caught staring at the frankly mouthwatering bulge of Bucky’s cock that his skin tight leggings are not doing a very good job of hiding.
He jerks his gaze up higher and it doesn’t help because oh god there’s Bucky’s chest, still bare and so close and by the time he finally manages to make himself look up at Bucky’s face he can’t breathe.
“They- uh, s-sure look it,” Tony stutters out, and furious blushing is totally a symptom of a concussion, right?!
Bucky’s smile stays warm and friendly, so he’s probably alright.
And all Bucky says is “You should try them! I can send you the site I got ‘em from, Nat recommended it to me.”
“Okay,” Tony squeaks and damnit he’s actually going to have to buy some yoga pants now. There’s no other way to play off his sudden fascination with them.
-
A week later, everyone has lost the bet.
They find the two morons asleep together on the couch, legs tangled and blankets wrapped around them both.
The entire team agrees it’s the most disgusting thing they’ve ever seen.
-
Steve is taking his frustrations out on a punching bag when Bucky suddenly ducks behind the bag, grabbing it and holding it still so he can hide behind it.
“What is this, why are you doing this?” Steve demands, rhythm thrown and half-debating just punching the bag anyways in the hopes that it’ll shake Bucky loose.
“Steve,” Bucky hisses, like he somehow hasn’t noticed that he already has Steve’s full attention, “Steve, I’ve made a terrible mistake.”
“What are you talking about?”
Bucky’s head pops out from around the punching bag, eyes fixed on something across the gym as he hisses “Tony bought yoga pants.”
Steve turns and sure enough, Tony and Natasha are standing near the sparring mats in matching black and gray patterned spandex.
“Does Nat get money every time she talks someone into buying those?” Steve has to wonder, because she has been relentlessly texting him the link too.
“Steve,” Bucky hisses again, “Steven. I can’t- how do I even- Steve-“
“What?!” Steve demands impatiently, because he really wants to go back to punching things, and not thinking about the awkward mating dance of his best friends.
“Look at his ass!”
Steve huffs and resists the urge to gag at the open reverence in Bucky’s tone. He does turn though, just in time to watch Tony bend over in a low stretch.
“Perfect little bubble, I just wanna bury my face in it and live there,” Bucky sighs.
“Huh,” Steve says, tilting his head a little to get a better view because damn, Bucky is not exactly wrong- “Ow!” He squawks when Bucky swings the punching bag into him, “you’re the one who told me to look!”
“Not like that!” Bucky snaps back. It looks like he’s considering hitting Steve with the punching bag again, and Steve holds up a single finger in warning.
“Do not,” he says sternly.
Bucky settles for just hugging the bag instead, gaze already drifting across the gym again. Steve has a terrible feeling he’s not going to get back to his workout.
“Please just ask him out,” Steve says plaintively, “pretend to act like a functional person.”
“How am I supposed to function when faced with The Most Amazing Ass Ever™️?!” Bucky demands, and then makes a weird whimpering sound as Tony no doubt does something. Like existing.
Steve refuses to look over, instead just sighing out “Get off my punching bag, you’re making this so weird.”
“I’m filin’ a complaint,” Bucky says, clearly not listening to him anymore and still staring with rapt attention at where Tony is apparently doing something fascinating. “These pants are supposed to be ‘super stretchy’ but they clearly did not count on boners cuz my dick is strangled.”
“Excuse me,” Steve says, already walking away, “I need to go vomit.”
Hell, next week he might skip mandatory team training.
-
Tony is laying on his stomach on the common room floor, propped up on his elbows as he pokes at his phone and kicks his feet lazily in the air.
He’s wearing bright red yoga pants today, and even Clint is not immune.
He catches himself after a couple seconds of staring at the swell and bounce of Tony’s ass, and gives himself a vigorous shake. That’s a good way to earn the Winter Soldier Death Glare.
Even if said Winter Soldier is too much of a disaster to actually do anything about his super obvious crush.
“So are yoga pants just the new thing?” Clint asks, climbing over the back of the couch and keeping his eyes safely on Tony’s face, because he does not want to be assassined to death today. “You’re just gonna wear them all the time?”
“They’re comfortable,” Tony says with an absent shrug, then grins up at Clint and wiggles his eyebrows as he adds “Plus, they make my ass look great.”
And Clint can’t exactly argue that, so instead he just flatly says “You’re going to give Barnes a heart attack.”
Tony looks confused for a split second, and then smiles widely.
“Because I pull them off so much better than he does?” he asks, striking a pose, and Clint seriously considers running away to join the circus. Again.
He’s not even sure if things will actually be better if they eventually get together at this point.
He should make that the new bet.
-
“I’m just saying,” Tony insists, and then raises his voice when Steve put his head down on the table and starts humming under his breath, “If I thought Bucky was actually interested, I would 100% be here for him. With open arms-“
“Well that’s actually kind of-“
“And open legs-“
“Tony-“
“And an open mouth,” Tony finishes, grinning and winking when Steve looks up at him with a glare.
“Tony, please, I don’t want to hear this,” Steve says, hands over his ears and he does actually look a little green.
“This is nothing,” Tony says with a scoff, giving Steve an unimpressed look, because he is weak. “You should hear the shit I say to Rhodey.”
“I would like to hear those things,” says a voice directly behind him.
Tony freezes, his entire body going cold, because he knows that low, warm, rumbling voice. He hears it in his dreams, and oh no oh no oh no, now Bucky knows.
So much for his plausible deniability.
His brain kind of goes staticy with panic for a second, and he’s only dimly aware of Steve rolling his eyes.
“Yeah my part in this conversation is done,” Steve says, and promptly bails.
When Tony’s brain finally reboots he finds that Bucky has taken Steve’s seat across the kitchen table.
Bucky is also just grinning at him, like he doesn’t find Tony’s borderline-obsessive crush at all creepy.
All Tony can think to say is “What.”
And then he realizes he doesn’t actually want an answer, doesn’t want to find out if Bucky is going to make fun of him, or if he thinks it’s all a joke. He can’t decide if that would actually be better or worse than being turned down gently, and he doesn’t intend to stay and find out.
“I’m just...” Tony sputters, face burning as he flails his way out of his chair, “Gonna- gonna go. Run away. Yep.”
“Wait,” Bucky says, eyes wide and halfway out of his own chair.
Tony freezes, because Bucky looks a lot like he feels. Thrown, surprised, confused and so hopeful that it’s terrifying.
“I-I’d like it if you stayed,” Bucky says slowly, then smiles crooked and nervous as he adds “Not that I don’t like watchin’ you walk away.”
It startles a laugh out of Tony, face flushing as he sinks back into his chair. “Okay,” he says, heart racing and smile almost painfully wide, “um, what?”
Bucky laughs, soft and low and warm, and finally finishes reaching across the table to take Tony’s hand in his own.
-
Clint wins the bet on how much worse their lives get once the love-struck morons start making out all over the place.

August 2024
“Again!” Jamie giggled, splashing his way over to Steve who laughed and waited for Jamie to reach him.
“Ok ,one…two…three…” hooking his hands under Jamie’s armpits he gently launched him into the air and the 4 year old laughed hysterically before he hit the water with a splash in the deeper end of the pool before emerging, from the surface.
“You’re gonna give me a heart attack…” Katie sighed from where she was sat on the steps to the pool, submerged to her shoulders. Rori was suspended in the little inflatable baby support, her legs kicking out behind her as Katie gently pushed her away then pulled her back, the baby smiling and thrashing with her arms.
“He’s fine ain’t you son?” Steve asked as Jamie doggie paddled over to him, grinning.
“It’s like flying Momma!”
“Hmmm.” she said, as Jamie jumped on his dad’s back and he pulled at Steve’s neck. Steve, playing along threw himself backwards taking them both under the surface before he stood up, shaking his head like a dog as Jamie’s laugh hit his ears.
“You’re getting strong pal.” he said, turning his head over his shoulder so he could look at Jamie. Jamie grinned.
“How’s my little water baby doing?” Steve asked as he carried Jamie on his back to where his wife and daughter were, Jamie scrabbling out of the pool and heading to the lounger for a drink.
“She’s fine.” Katie smiled, as Steve turned his attention to Aurora, a huge grin on his face as she looked at him and beamed, waving her legs and arms as fast as she could.
“Look at you princess!” he said as Katie pulled her back towards them. He dropped down so his shoulders were under the water and Rori was at eye level. “Think she’s enjoying it.”
Katie smiled as the two of them watched the baby for a moment before Katie looked up at Jamie who was sat now with Lucky between his legs, gently talking to the dog. “Do you know what time it is?”
Steve glanced at his watch “Almost 4.”
“I should really think about starting dinner.”
“Leave it….” he said, turning to her, pressing his lips to hers. “Come on, when was the last time we got an afternoon like this?”
She smiled, “Feels like a while that’s for sure…”
“So…we can chuck a frozen pizza in for Jamie and we can get a take-out…” he said, moving so he was behind her, his arms curling around her waist, pulling her back so she was perched on his bent legs, his chin resting on her shoulder “Eat by the pool…” he placed a kiss to the crook of her neck, “And then later when he’s in bed and she’s settled we can hit the hot-tub…” another kiss “maybe a bottle of wine…”
“You feeling amorous Soldier?” Katie grinned, tipping her head round to face him.
“Always when you’re concerned…” he winked, his lips again meeting hers, only this time the kiss slightly deeper until they broke apart after a loud splash, followed by a smaller splash drew their attention.
Jamie had launched himself back into the pool, followed by Lucky who had clearly decided he too needed to get in the action.
They stayed in the water for another 15 minutes or so until Rori started to get a bit grouchy, and Katie took her out, wrapping them both in a towel and sitting in the quiet for a while to feed her. Steve and Jamie followed her out a little while later, both drying themselves off before Steve took Jamie inside to get him a juice box and throw his pizza in the oven. Jamie then insisted he wouldn’t make it until his pizza was done as he as starving, so Steve got him quick snack of breadsticks and hummus and sent him back out onto the garden where he made his way over to the side of the pool, flopping down on the lounger next to his Momma.
Deciding that a snack was actually a pretty good idea really, Steve grabbed a few things from the fridge, namely olives, more breadsticks, dips, cheeses and was about to carry it down to the pool area when the security system sounded to tell him that Emmy had come home.
“It’s ok…you’re ok…” his ears picked up Brooke’s voice from the hall and instantly he frowned as he heard Emmy’s deep breathing too. He strode into the hallway just in time to see Emmy slide down to the floor, her back pressed to the door as she tugged her knees to her chest.
“Emmy?” Steve asked, quickly dropping down in front of her. “Hey…look at me…”
She looked up and he gently reached out, his hand smoothing back her hair “Use your numbers ok, like we used too, remember?”
She gripped his hand tight and her eyes screwed shut as she desperately tried to regulate her breathing and Steve, not once taking his eyes off his daughter issued Brooke with an instruction to go and get Katie. Less than 2 minutes later she was also on her knees next to Emmy having left Brooke to watch the younger two and it was a minute or so later before the 16 year old began to breathe normally, her eyes slowly blinking as they returned to their usual size instead of being blown wide open.
“You ok?” Katie asked gently, looking at Emmy. She nodded.
“Sorry…”
“Don’t…” Steve looked at her as she fell into his arms, pressing her face against his bare chest as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her head “Don’t every apologise for that, we told you.” The amount of panic attacks their daughter had had when she first came to live with them meant they’d been fairly used to them, but she hadn’t had one in a VERY long time, not since the events of the Final battle with Thanos had hit her and she’d broken down about losing her Uncle Tony, Auntie Nat and then how close she had to losing her parents. Emmy was a strong, independent teenager who for the most part simply got on with things, letting a lot of stuff that would bother other people wash right over her head. But clearly something had triggered her today.
“You need a drink sweetheart?” Katie asked and Emmy nodded.
“Ok. Think you can stand?” Steve asked.
“You’re not carrying me.” Emmy looked at Steve and he raised an eyebrow.
“You used to love me doing that.” Steve quipped and she rolled her eyes.
“Yeah at the Parties at the Kids home.” she grumbled “I’m not 7 anymore.”
“Never too old for your Pa to carry you.” Steve teased, standing up and offering him her hand. She took it and he pulled her to her feet, and despite her protestations at her age she kept her fingers tightly wound around his as they headed to the kitchen.
“Emmy!” Jamie shot off his seat and threw himself at his older sister. She smiled and bent to give him a hug.
“Hey Jay…” she smiled, “You been swimming?”
“Daddy was throwing me.” he grinned. “I bet he could do it for you too.”
“Sure he could” Emmy smiled as she shakily took a seat, glancing at Rori who was in Brooke’s arms, her little hands tangling in the girl’s long, red hair.
“Jamie, why don’t you go in the den for a moment, watch some TV.” Katie looked at him, adjusting the crochet slip she had thrown on over her bathing suit “Momma and Daddy need to talk to Emmy for a second.”
“But I don’t wanna.” he frowned.
“Hey, why don’t you show me your legos?” Brooke said quickly. Steve could see the cogs in his son’s head whirring as he considered this for a second before he nodded.
“Ok.”
“Thanks Brooke.” Katie said to her as she handed Rori back over.
“No problem Mrs R.” she said, allowing Jamie to tug her by the hand out of the room.
Once they were gone Katie adjusted Rori in her arms so that her head was tucked against her shoulder, mouth resting on her collar bone and Steve took a seat next to Emmy after pouring her a glass of water.
“Wanna tell us what happened Em?” he asked gently.
“We’d just been in The Hub.” she said, “You know the Computer shop because Brooke needed a new charger for her tablet.” Emmy swallowed and took a sip of her drink “We were walking down towards the bus stop so we could head home and we’d just passed that bar on the corner, you know the Irish Pub place?”
“Mc Mahons, yeah we know it…” Steve nodded
“And then he came out.”
“Who?” Katie asked, her eyes not leaving her daughter.
“Him…my old foster father. The one that used to hit me.”
Steve took a deep breath and breathed out through his nose “Did he hurt you?”
“No, not really…he erm, he didn’t recognise me at first and I kept walking but Brook had stopped and when she shouted my name he realised it was me and he grabbed my arm and…”
“Ok…ok…” Katie said gently, as Steve gently laid a hand on their daughter’s shoulder.
“Did he do anything else?” he asked. Emmy shook her head.
“He just started shouting stuff, saying he knew that I’d landed on my feet and that I was nothing but a worthless brat and that he would come and pay you a visit one day, tell you all about what I used to do and how bad I was and then you’d throw me out and…”
“Em, he’s an ass hole.” Katie said gently “You were never a bad kid. You’d been treated appallingly, what that man did do you…” she shook her head “It was cruel and abusive and…”
Steve’s hand fell to Katie’s knee under the table as she looked away, blinking back the tears.
“Emmy, me and your mom love you.” Steve looked at her, “We love all you kids more than anything, and nothing this dick says or does will change the way we feel. You know that right?” “I know, I just didn’t like seeing him that’s all.” she said gently “I just had all these flashbacks to the basement he locked me in and the belt…”
She swallowed and looked down. Steve looked at Katie, the jaw in his nerve twitching with anger as he took a deep breath and ran his hand up Emmy’s back.
“Well I hope he makes good on his promise and does pay us a visit.” he said his eyes flashing “I’d be very happy to exchange a few words with him, maybe a few fists too.”
Emmy smiled softly as Katie shook her head.
“Pretty sure your Uncle Buck would have a something to say too. And between you and me, his Murder Strut is frightening.” “Murder Strut?” Emmy looked up, the corners of her mouth twitching. Katie nodded.
“Trust me, I saw it a few times. Scared the shit out of me.”
“Woah, you saying I’m not scary?” Steve scoffed, folding his arms.
“Bucky’s a Rottweiler, you’re more of an angry retriever.” Katie shrugged and at that point Emmy laughed, which was exactly what her parents had been hoping to achieve. Steve flashed a wink at his wife before he turned back to Emmy.
“You know he won’t ever hurt you again, not now you’re with us.”
“I know. I love you guys.” she smiled and Steve dropped a kiss to her cheek. She looked up, wiped her eyes and then glanced at her mom. “Can Brooke stay tonight?”
“Course she can, I'll call Jen”
“It's ok she can message…”
“I'll call her.” Katie said firmly, “Brooke was there today so Jen has a right to know what happened. Don’t worry, she won’t be mad at you.” “Kay…” Emmy nodded “What's for dinner?”
“Your dad threw a pizza in for Jamie, we're gonna get take out and hang by the pool.” Katie said.
“Anything you fancy?” Steve asked.
“Can we try the Greek place?”
“Sure.” Steve nodded “Hey, do they do Shwarma?”
“Gyros.” Katie said, “Same thing almost.”
“I’m in.” Steve said.
“I'm gonna go watch TV for a bit, that ok?”
“Course.” Katie smiled.
Emmy stood up and moved behind her dad, hugging him from behind, her arms round his shoulders. He tilted his head so she could kiss his cheek before she moved to do the same to her mom, giving Rori a peck.
“Love you both.” she smiled at them, before she left the room.
As soon as she was gone Steve stood up, his calm demeanour ebbing away as Katie looked up at him, shaking her head.
“I wanna kill him Steve.”
“You and me both doll.” he paced.
“Think we should call the police?” Katie asked, gently rocking Rori to and fro as she had started to grumble.
Steve contemplated what she had said before he paused, folded his arms and looked at the door, then back to Katie “I got a better idea.”
“What?”
“Do you trust me?” he asked.
“You know I do”
“Then leave it with me.” he said simply
“Steve...” she stated, instantly understanding what he was implying “You can’t.” “Why not?”
“Well, for starters we have no idea where he lives.”
Steve snorted "Sweetheart, you're forgetting who we know."
"Oh, no...you can't drag Sam into this." Katie shook her head "Ross is being an asshole with him as it is without you giving him ammo by getting Sammy into trouble."
"I'm not" Steve smiled, raising his eyebrow “I'm gonna drag Bucky into it instead."
****** Bucky sat at the bar, baseball cap tugged down over his eyes. He’d been reliably informed his target drank in this run-down back dive every Wednesday and Thursday evening. He liked the happy hour, apparently.
Aint gonna be happy for much longer, buddy.
Despite the fact that he was trying to live a normal life now (ok, maybe helping Sam out every now and then) when Steve had asked him to help him with this particular mission he’d immediately said yes. Not simply because Steve was his best friend, but because it involved Emmy. As far as Buck was concerned, the Rogers kids might as well be his own in that respect because he’d give his life to protect any of them.
And then there was Brooke. Bucky had been dating Brooke’s mom, Jennifer now for a few weeks after they’d hit it off at Steve’s birthday party. It was great, slow moving but that’s what he wanted, and when he’d heard that her daughter had been caught up in all this business as well, it was another reason for him to slip back into his old assassin mode.
Only this time his instructions were clear. Apprehend alive.
At first when Steve had told him this he had been about to tease him, wind him up, surely after all these years the Captain had finally found that trigger to flip him over to the dark side, but then he had seen something stir in his best pal’s eyes. He’d told him then about an incident in a HYDRA base, where he had killed on of Katie’s captors and Bucky knew, it was there alright, and he had a feeling he was going to see it whenever they caught this punk.
He ordered another drink, his eyes re-reading the paper he’d brought with him for the 15th time. To most people stake-out work like this would get them bored, antsy, but not Bucky. He’d waited much longer before and he knew that if you got like that you lost concentration which made things 100 times harder in the long run. His eyes scanned back to the entrance to the bar, flicking back round the pub, and he observed the people to make sure he hadn’t missed the man sneaking in, even though he knew that was basically impossible. Satisfied he hadn’t, he took the drink off the bar tender, paid him (another rule of spy work- never set up tabs, you run without paying and your face is recognised all over the damned scene). He took a sip of his beer before he heard the door open and he looked round, fighting the smirk on his face as finally his target walked in and straight to the bar to Bucky’s right.
The man ordered his drink, a straight black label whiskey and when it was served he paid with a bunch of crumpled ones and picked the glass up, heading to a table.
Bucky had to hand it to the guy, in the half an hour he spent in the bar he knocked back a good 5 helpings of scotch before he stood up, and rather unsteadily made his way to the door. Giving him enough time to get out of the door, Bucky then rose and followed him. He tailed him into another bar, then another, before after the 3rd the man headed home.
Bucky watched him unlock the door to the rundown apartment block, before he staggered inside. Quick as a flash Bucky shot over the road, sticking his foot in the door to stop it from shutting. Slipping inside he pressed himself up against the dark wall, just to the side of the post boxes, as the man turned around. After a second or so Bucky heard him heading up the stairs. He walked to the bottom of the steps, and keeping his footsteps light he headed after him and emerged onto the second landing, peering round the wall to watch as the man stopped outside a door, pulling out his keys.
Bucky waited until the door was closed before he headed back down to the ground floor, pulling out his phone.
“I got him.”
***** Steve climbed out of his car, looking up at the ramshackle building before he crossed the road. Bucky was waiting for him and opened the door to the apartment block from the inside.
“What you come dressed as?” Bucky arched an eyebrow, scanning Steve up and down. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans, a dark navy t-shirt and black boots, with a cap pulled down over his face.
“You.” Steve said simply, and Bucky snorted.
“He’s on the Second floor.” he said simply “Number 202. Still think you should just let me shoot him.”
“No.” Steve said “We’re not killing him…”
Bucky rolled his eyes “Why?”
“Because I want him as scared as he made Emmy.” Steve said simply. “He can spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.”
Bucky shrugged, “Your call…”
Steve headed to the stairs and started to climb them, stopping as he heard his foot crunch on something.
“Nice place…” he mumbled as he looked down to see he had stood on a cockroach.
“Don’t be a snob Stevie…”  Bucky looked at him, and Steve rolled his eyes.
“Even my place in the 40s wasn’t this grim.” he turned to look at his friend before he continued up the flight of steps.
“It wasn’t the ritz either.” Bucky shrugged as they emerged onto the landing. They stopped outside the door and Steve took a breath before he looked at Bucky.
“Looks like we need a key….” he quipped. Bucky gave a smirk, before he drew his left hand back and punched straight through the door, grabbing the handle and turning it to undo the lock from the inside. He threw it open and strode inside, Steve casting a look around before he followed and pulled the door shut behind them. Hearing the noise the man flew out of the kitchen, a knife in his hand, stopping dead when he saw Bucky.
“Who the fuck are you?” he demanded.
Bucky simply raised his eyebrows.
“Look, if Mario sent you…I told him, he’ll get his money…”
“I don’t know any Mario…” Bucky shook his head, “Well, not unless you count the one that rides on the karts in that game my nephew enjoys kicking my ass at. Now put the knife down Jack before someone gets hurt.”
“How do you know my name?” Jack asked, his eyes not once leaving Bucky, missing the Captain who was stood in the darkness of the room behind him. “What the fuck do you want?”
“I don’t want anything…” Bucky said, shrugging, “But he does…”
At that point Steve stepped forwards, drawing up besides his friend, getting a good look at the man in front of him. He was quite tall, but lanky, with a pointed noise and sharp features, reminding Steve of an overgrown rat.  Which fitted him perfectly, out and out vermin. Jack frowned and squinted slightly as he looked straight at Steve, suddenly paling even further. Whilst Steve looked a lot different from the once blue-eyed All American hero the world recognised him to be, there was no mistaking who he was, especially to the man in question. Steve stood stock still, his hands falling to the buckle which was round the waist of his black jeans, his chest flexing under his navy t-shirt as he glared at the man.
“Woah…look…I don’t want any trouble…” Jack began to press.
“You should have thought about that before you touched and threatened my daughter.” Steve’s voice was icy.
Jack’s hand clenched around the knife and Bucky rolled his eyes, before he whipped off the glove on his left hand, holding it up, the metal glinting in the dim light of the lamp that stood in the corner of the grubby apartment.
“This can do far more damage than that blade can.” he said simply, looking at his hand before he turned to Jack “Go ahead, I’ll even give you one free swing. But it better be fast.”
Steve expected the man to drop the knife, but instead he lunged forwards. Bucky sighed, and almost lazily dodged to the right before he knocked the knife out of the man’s hand with a single swipe and gripped him around the neck with his hand, slamming him hard into the wall.
“That was really fucking stupid.” he said, tightening his fingers around the man’s windpipe, lifting him off the floor. The man grabbed at Bucky’s arm, desperately trying to prise his fingers from around his neck.
“Buck…” Steve said, and Bucky let go, Jack slumping to the floor. Steve reached down, grabbed his shirt and hauled him to his feet slamming him against the wall.
“Now…” Steve said, his hands tightening. “I don’t like bullies. And that’s what you are. I know exactly what you did to Emmy, all the times you beat her, hurt her, whipped her with a belt until her back split and bled. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t rip you in half right now.”
“Captain America…nah…you wouldn’t…” Jack stuttered, shaking his head “You’re a good guy…”
“Well, here’s the thing.” Bucky said, picking up the knife that Jack had dropped, leaning on the wall, lazily twirling the blade in his hand. “He’s not Captain America anymore. Just some guy whose daughter you threatened.”
“Which makes me a hundred times more dangerous…” Steve said.
“And I, well, I just don’t give a shit.” Bucky shrugged “Killed a lot of people one way or another…what’s one more piece of shit like you gonna mean?”
Jack looked at Steve, shaking his head “No, you wouldn’t…”
“I snapped the neck of the man who raped my wife.” Steve said, his gaze not once leaving the man’s in front of him “Trust me, you have no idea what I would do to keep my family safe.”
He paused for a second, letting it sink in as Jack swallowed.
“But I’m a fair man.” Steve said, letting go of Jack who dropped a few inches before he pulled himself back up full height. Steve smoothed down the man’s dirty t-shirt before he smiled at him. “So I’m gonna give you a chance to play ball. You got 48 hours to leave New York.” “By that we mean the state.” Bucky clarified.
“And if I ever get a sniff that you’re back in town…” Steve continued.
“And trust us, we’ll know…” Bucky mused, still looking at the knife before he grinned at Jack “We got friends in high places, eyes and ears everywhere…” “….then you’ll lose more than your teeth.” Steve concluded, matter of factly.
“My teeth? What do-“
CRACK.
Steve cut him off with a sharp jab straight into his mouth and Jack dropped to the floor howling in pain as the blood poured from between his fingers which clamped over the lower part of his face.
“Got the message?” Steve asked, standing over him as Jack rolled around, screaming. He mumbled something, his head nodding furiously.
“Can I shoot him now?” Bucky asked.
“No.” Steve shook his head.
“Just once in the knee?”
“No.” Steve snorted “Come on…let’s get out of here, the amount of noise he’s making someone’s bound to hear. He turned to go, and then heard another loud scream. Spinning around he saw that Jack’s hand was now pinned to the floor by the knife Bucky had been holding.
“What?” Bucky asked, shrugging as Steve shot him a look “You said I couldn’t shoot him, didn’t say anything about stabbing him.”
***** The two friends sat at a bar, not far from Steve’s house, each with a beer in hand.
“So, run that by me again…” Bucky said.
“I told Katie I was meeting you for a drink.” Steve shrugged, nodding at the bottle “Technically now I’m not lying.”
“You’re a punk.” Bucky snorted.
“She’ll know full well where I’ve been.” Steve shrugged “She ain’t stupid…”
“Good luck to you pal.” Bucky said, taking a drink “She’s scary when she’s angry.”
Steve snorted “Nah, she won’t be mad...she knew full well I was planning on giving him a warning so…”
“Then why not just tell her?” “Because she’d worry.” Steve said simply.
“Think he’ll heed it?” Bucky asked after a little pause and Steve pondered the question for a moment before he nodded.
“Like I said he’s a bully.” he took a swig of his beer before he looked at Bucky “You know as well as I do that the minute someone bigger stands up to them they back off.”
“Gotta hand it to you pal…” Bucky said, sitting back “You come a long way since you were defending yourself with a trash can lid behind the movie theatre down town…”
“So everyone says.” Steve shrugged “Still don’t feel any different.”
“Remember when Howard’s flying car was the strangest thing we had ever seen?” Bucky sighed “I almost miss those days.” “Would you go back?” Steve asked, “Given the chance?”
Bucky took a deep breath and wrinkled his nose “Nah, I’m too different…too much has happened you know. I don’t think I’d settle. Plus this would probably attract a little more attention than it does now.” he said, flexing his left hand.
Steve smiled “I know what you mean. If you’d asked me when I first came round…I’d have jumped at the chance but after Katie…” he took another drink before he let out a soft huff. “I crossed oceans of time to find her.”
Bucky raised an eyebrow. “Dracula…romantic.” he said and Steve let out a laugh.
“Speaking of romantic…” Steve looked at his friend “How’s it going with Jen?”
“Ok.”
“Just ok?”
“I’m taking it slow.” Bucky shrugged “We’ve been on a few dates and…yeah I like her Steve and she likes me so…”
“Well if you ever want any advice on modern day dating…”
“The day I ask you for dating advice is the day I quit.” Bucky snorted
“I did ok.” Steve grinned “Well, more than ok actually. I lucked out.”
“No, you got what you deserved.” Bucky shook his head “A woman that loves you for who you are, not what you are.” Steve felt his cheeks flush a little as he shrugged “Not quite sure what I did to deserve her but…”
“You’re a good man.” Bucky said “You always were and always have been. A pain in my ass like, but…” he drained his beer and shook his head “Anyway, enough sentimental crap. You want another?”
Steve contemplated that before he shrugged “Sure, why not?”
One more turned into 5 more, and it was a good 2 hours later and approaching midnight when the men left. It wasn’t the first time they’d been out for drinks since being re-united, but to Steve it was the first time that it felt like the old days. They’d talked about so many memories, he’d laughed until he had cried as they both recalled some of their antics, and he felt completely at peace when he walked into the hallway of his house.
Removing his cap he ran a hand through his hair before he hung it on the coat rack on the wall. Then he dropped his keys into that infernal golden pineapple bowl that Katie had bought him all those years ago and headed into the lounge where Katie was sat in her pyjamas, Rori clutched to her breast as she fed.
“Hey…” he smiled, crossing the floor and dropping a kiss to her lips before he turned his attention to his daughter, his finger gently running along her hardworking cheek.
“You have a good time?” she asked, giving a little yawn.
“Yeah.” Steve nodded. “It was nice. When did she wake up?”
“About half an hour ago.” Katie shrugged “With a bit of luck she’ll go down again soon and sleep for a couple of hours.”
“I’ll do the next feed.” Steve said “You can get some rest.”
“Ok.” Katie agreed, yawning again and as she did so Rori mimicked her, her eyes which were now carrying a slight greenish hue fluttering. Steve gestured for Katie to hand her over, and she did so as Steve held her up over her shoulder, hands that had hours ago been so violent were now ever so gentle, rubbing his daughter’s back to wind her as Katie adjusted her top.  They sat there in silence for a little while before Katie finally spoke.
“So how badly did you hurt him?”
“What?”
“Jack?” She turned her head to Steve who looked at her “I know full well what you were up to.”
“I knew you would.” Steve huffed a laugh “And not too badly. Knocked a few of his teeth out…oh, and Bucky nailed his hand to the floor with a knife. He won’t be bothering Emmy again, or any of us for that matter.”
Katie looked at him for a moment before Rori gave a light burp and Steve gently turned his face, pressing his lips to the baby’s head.
“Here…” Katie said, and Steve handed her over “I’ll go put her down.”
She gathered the baby in her arms before she dropped a kiss to Steve’s mouth “Don’t be too long…”
He arched an eyebrow. “Yeah?”
“Well, you know what you getting all dark and protective does to me…” she grinned, looking down at Rori “That’s what made her in the first place.”
Steve’s eyes darkened at the memory of that particular day in the HYDRA base which he was recalling for the second time in the space of a few hours, albeit for very different reasons. “How could I forget?”
Standing up she walked to the door, Steve watching her go, before she shot him a coy look over her shoulder his pants became a lot tighter than they should have been. He gave a soft groan, before his head fell back against the cushion of the sofa. After a moment or two he stood up and turned off the lights, before heading up the stairs after his wife.
He stood in the doorway, watching as she placed Rori in the crib at the end of the bed before he strode over to her, his hands falling to her waist as he spun her round, his lips crashing to hers. She took the kiss eagerly, her tongue sliding against his as he backed her towards the bed, her hands fumbling with his belt as they went. Neither were wasting any time, and after a quick wrestle with their clothing they both collapsed onto the bed, Steve caging his wife underneath him with his arms and legs.
Their eyes locked for a second before he pressed his lips to hers and kissed her again, slow and hard, both his hands cupping her face, thumbs gently skating her cheeks as she let out a soft groan and he felt his cock twitch. His lips not once leaving hers his right hand gently slid down to her thigh, and his fingers gently gave her hip a squeeze causing her to sigh into his mouth again. Using his hand he hooked her leg round his waist, and ground his erection against her spot causing her to moan as she pulled away from the kiss, her head laying further back against the pillow, her eyes fluttering shut as his mouth dropped, swirling softly around her pebbled nipples, carefully lavishing affection on them in turn, and in moments she was quivering to his touch, her breathing ragged.
“Look at me…” he said, voice low, almost a growl and her eyes sprang open obediently, those sparkling emeralds glinting in the dim light as he held her gaze as he pushed into her, her breath catching in her throat. He stilled for a moment, enjoying her warmth as it gripped him before he moved his hips back, thrusting into her again. His pace was hard, deep and he continually dragged in and out of her, dropping his head to kiss and lick and suck all along her collar bone, knowing full well he would leave marks there for the morning but neither of them cared as their moans grew louder as his thrusts grew more desperate.
"Fuck." he groaned, both hands now on her hips as he continued his movements and Katie’s hands moved to brace herself against the headboard, her body moving with every slam he made into her. One hand moved to the back of her head and he used it to make her look up, her eyes locking onto his as he felt her body start to quiver.
“I love you…” he said, his pace not slowing in the slightest.
“Love you too Soldier…” her words stuttered as he thrust up hard, stilling slightly, grinding up against her, as she writhed underneath him, a desperate, filthy noise escaping her mouth as her back arched and her hands flew to his back, nails scratching at his skin. God he loved the feel of her doing that, the stinging pain mixed with the pleasure was a heady mix and he took in a sharp breath, dropping his mouth to capture hers as she moaned again, this moan broken as she bucked upwards and clutched at him desperately.
“Stevie…” she moaned and her walls tightened on him as she came, her entire body trembling underneath him and he pulled back so he could watch her, lips swollen from his desperate kisses, cheeks flushed, eyelids fluttering against her cheeks. He continued his pace, her eyes opening moments late to lock onto his as the spring that had been coiled so tightly suddenly released and he spilled himself insider her with a low, rough grunt of her name and he tipped forwards, his hips slowing to a stop as he buried his face in her neck.
The pair of them lay still, the only sounds in the bedroom now were the deep, ragged drawings of breath. Katie gently ran her hands through his hair, as she always did, Steve’s body on top of hers rising and falling through the movements of her deep breathing.  Eventually he raised his head gently and pressed their foreheads together, his nose sliding up and down hers. She smiled at him, and pressed her lips to his in a soft kiss before he rolled over onto his back, and she snuggled into him, her head on his chest. He reached for her left hand which was laying flat against his abs and raised it to his mouth, pressing a kiss to her knuckles, just underneath where her wedding band sat.
“I love you, I love you all so much.” he said gently. She raised her head to look at him, smiling as she kissed him softly.
“I know, I love you. We all do.”
She was asleep before him, Steve lay awake for a little while longer contemplating everything that had gone down that evening. He’d crossed that line again, the darkness that had awoken all those years ago had bubbled inside of him and he wasn’t going to lie, it had been satisfying, and despite what he had said to Bucky, he would have happily killed the snivelling bastard with his bare hands and not even blinked twice about doing so. But something had stopped him short this time, and he knew now what it was.
His kids.
Back then they hadn’t been in the picture, and he wanted to be able to look them in the eye and tell them right from wrong without feeling like a hypocrite. Steve Rogers was a good man, a loyal husband, doting father, and he wanted to be worthy of the love that surrounded him on a daily basis.
He looked down at his sleeping wife before he shifted slightly, dropping a kiss to her head before he closed his eyes and fell into a trouble free sleep.

The One Where Tony Wears Booty Shorts (Stony)
A Halloween commission for @ceealaina ft. pining!Stony and Done With It All!Bucky. (I made this extra long because I love you and because you put up with my bullshit)
THERE’S MORE STONY ON MY MASTERLIST
AND HERE’S MORE HALLOWEEN FICS!
*******************
“Hey Buck.” 
“Heya Stevie.” Bucky flashed Steve a quick smile and went back to digging through his shopping bags, pulling out the accessories he’d bought for his wolf costume. “What’s up?” 
“Oh you know.” Steve gave a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of his very soul and Bucky paused mid motion and raised his eyes to the ceiling, praying for patience from whichever deity happened to be listening. 
Steve only sighed like that when he wanted to talk about Tony and Bucky-- Bucky did not have the energy to support his best friend’s All American Pining right now. 
“Oh… you know.” Steve said again, emphasizing the words when Bucky didn’t respond. “Same as always.” 
“Lord, beer me strength.” Bucky muttered then turned with a hopefully encouraging smile. “Somethin’ you wanna talk about, bud? Anything specific on your mind?”  
“I got asked out for Halloween.” Steve complained and honestly, Steve Rogers was the only person on the planet who could make it sound like being gorgeous and constantly asked out on dates was the worst possible thing to ever happen.
The guy had spent seventy years as a red white and blue popsicle, and being asked out on a date was the worst possible thing to happen? 
Sheesh. 
“Okay, so you got asked out.” Bucky really really tried to sound interested.  “And then what?” 
 “And I said yes,” Steve moaned. “Because I’m a polite sorta guy but now--” 
“-- now you want to cancel because for some reason, you are perfectly willing to turn down a sure thing of sex to stare longingly at Tony from across the room like a creeper.” Bucky finished and Steve scowled at him. “Don’t look at me like that, Stevie. You know I’m right.” 
“I don’t stare at Tony like a creeper.” Steve defended. “It’s-- it’s longingly. I stare at him longingly.”
“So you aren’t gonna deny the thing about turning down sex, huh?” 
“...” 
“That’s what I thought.” Bucky pulled out the wolf mask and put it next to his costume. “Who asked you out?” 
“The barista down the street.” Steve flopped across Bucky’s bed and crammed his face into a pillow. “He’s so nice and he is very cute and his party sounds like a lot of fun, but won’t Tony be mad if I miss his annual Halloween bash? I mean, I should cancel the date just so I don’t hurt Tony’s feelings by ditching his party, right? That would be something a friend would do.” 
“First of all, real friends would never be mad that a friend skipped a party to get laid.” Bucky countered. “Second of all, last year Tony was so drunk on candy corn vodka he doesn’t remember anything that happened after eight pm. He’s not even going to notice you’re missing.” 
Steve made a shocked, wounded sort of noise and Bucky pinched the bridge of his nose and counted to ten. “What I meant to say is--” 
Steve lifted his head eagerly, all hopeful smiles and trusting expression and just piles boyish charm waiting to be told that his ridiculous crush wasn’t in fact absolutely the most ridiculous thing in the world and Bucky-- god Bucky just couldn’t take it anymore. 
“Actually you know what? What I meant to say is that if you don’t sack up and ask Tony out?” Bucky pointed a finger in Steve’s face. “I’m gonna ask him out and then use your bed to pound him through a mattress. Yeah that’s right. Every time you go to sleep, you’ll have to think about me dicking Tony to with in an inch of his life and how it could have been your name Tony was screaming, but you’re too much of a fraidy cat to actually tell him you like him. 
Steve’s mouth fell open so far his jaw audibly popped as it attempted not to dislocate. “BUCKY!” 
“Watch me.” Bucky threatened. “Watch me do it. Cos I am tired of this! I am tired of listening to you moan about how beautiful Tony is and how badly you want to touch his pinky or... or whatever passes for kinky for you. M’done with it. Ask him out or move the hell on.” 
“Well-- I-- you--” Steve gaped at him. “Buck, I don’t even know if Tony likes me!” 
“You walked into the room shirtless the other day and he almost creamed his pants.” Bucky said flatly, and Steve countered, “Have you seen my pecs, Bucky? Everybody likes when I’m shirtless.” 
“Oooookay.” Bucky narrowed his eyes. “Well last movie night, he saved you a spot on the comfy couch and literally kicked Sam in the ass when he tried to sit there too. Not that Sam doesn’t deserve to be kicked in the ass, but Tony did it specifically cos he wanted you to sit next to him.” 
“Well sure, but--” 
“And also-- and I can’t stress this enough-- you are a grown ass adult and Tony is a grown ass adult. Use your goddamn words and talk to the man! In fact,  go downstairs right now and take him some lunch and ask him out!. Or just kiss him! Just snatch him and kiss him!” 
Steve levelled one of those patented Glares of Disapproval at Bucky. “You can’t just snatch people when you want them, Buck. That ain’t right.”  
“Oh ho, I beg to differ.” Bucky snorted. “Snatchin’ people is the best way to let ‘em know you want ‘em. Besides, Tony is practically pocket sized. Snatch him, kiss him, put him back in his chair. He’ll get the hint.” 
“I thought you were supposed to be charming.” Steve chucked a pillow that bounced off Bucky’s chest harmlessly. “What happened to the Bucky who could get into anyone’s pants with a smile and a wink? I want advice from him, not Winter Soldier Bucky who apparently thinks kidnapping is foreplay.” 
“Kidnapping can be foreplay.” Bucky defended. “I kidnapped Tasha last week and tied her up in the bedroom and--” 
“I will throw up if you finish that sentence.”
“Nah.” Bucky shook his head. “If I didn’t throw up when you waxed poetic and stupid about how great Tony looks every time he steps out of the armor, you won’t throw up when I tell you how fuckin’ bendy Tasha is. Also, I had no idea she could undo knots with her teeth or how strong her thighs are. I mean damn, Stevie. I’m a super soldier but she still about strangled me so I would keep my mouth exactly where she want--” 
“LA LA LA LA LA LA!” Steve shouted and threw another pillow that hit Bucky like a brick. “Stop that!” 
“Alright alright alright. I’ll be serious.” Bucky batted a third projectile out of the air and took a deep breath. “Steve look. You and Tony are great together, y’know? He thinks you walk on water and the way you stare at him is-- I mean it’s not creepy. You look at him like he hung the goddamn moon and that’s pretty fuckin’ adorable. He laughs real hard when you tell your corny jokes and you sit with him in the lab when he’s tweaking out about his technology-- it’s cute, okay? And I know this isn’t--” 
He groaned as if the words physically pained him. “Steve. I know this isn’t just a crush. I know you are in love with Tony and that’s why I keep tellin’ you to go for it. You guys are pretty damn cute and fit real well together and he makes you happy, so go for it.”  
“Oh.” Steve blinked a few times. “Thanks, Buck. That actually helps a lot. Thank you.” 
“No problem, but that’s ‘bout as sentimental as I get, so don’t ever make me have this talk again.” Relieved at least that part of the conversation was over, Bucky went back to his costume. “So I got this wolf thing cos Nat was thinking about going as Little Red Riding Hood, but now I don’t thing I really wanna--” 
“Okay, but do you think Tony like likes me?” 
“Oh for fucks sake-- get out.” Bucky wrestled Steve up from the and pushed him towards the door. “Get out. I can’t take this any more. Get the fuck outta here.” 
“Bucky, wait-!” 
“OUT!” Bucky shoved Steve out into the hall and slammed the door. “Why is this my life? What did I do to deserve two life times of Steve Rogers being fuckin’ ridiculous---” 
His phone buzzed and Bucky opened the message with a scowl bordering on murderous.
From Tony: Heya Frosty. So I’m trying to plan my costume for the party but I didn’t know if Steve was coming, and I need to know before I decide on the length of my shorts.
From Bucky: ...what? What does Steve have to do with the length of your shorts?
From Tony: You know. Like if he’s not there, I’ll probably just wear pants but if he is there my shorts are going to resemble more of a thong and less of actual clothing. 
From Bucky: I’m gonna go wash my eyes with bleach. Lose my number. 
From Tony: No Bucky wait! This is a serious question! 
From Tony: BUCKY!
From Tony: Pepper refuses to give her opinion and Rhodey is screening any Steve-related calls. 
From Tony: BUCKY! HELP ME! LONG PANTS OR THONG SHORTS?!
“Hey you.” Natasha looked up in surprise when Bucky stomped his way into the common area and headed for the bar. “What are you doing, you know none of that will get you drunk. And it’s--” she checked at her phone. “--two in the afternoon. That’s early even for holiday drinking. What’s going on?” 
“Umph.” Bucky grunted and tore the top off a bottle of something very alcoholic that would hopefully fuzz the memory of Tony asking about thong shorts. “Steve and Tony.” 
“Ah.” Natasha said, as if that answered everything. “It’s tough to be the go between. I was ready to tear my hair out when Clint and Sam were working through their bullshit. Or rather, tear their hair out, I like my hair too much to ruin it because of their shenanigans.” 
Bucky sent his on again, off again girl friend a crooked smile. “I like your hair too, Tasha.” 
“Yeah you do.” she scrunched her nose and sent him a smile right back. “Wanna go work off some frustration in the gym? I’m wearing those little shorts you like so much and if you get me worked up enough, I might even let you pin me.” 
“Here we go.” Bucky hauled Tasha up and off the couch and tossed her over his shoulder, palming at her rear as he hurried towards the gym. “If you and I ever get as dumb as those two, just take me out back and put me outta my misery.” 
“Ditto, darling.” Natasha’s smile was fond enough to be pushing sappy, but Bucky couldn’t see it so she didn’t bother trying to hide. “We will never be that terrible.” 
*******************
“Heya Buck.” Tony looked up from his computer with a ready smile when Bucky knocked at the lab door a few hours later. “How’s it goin?” 
“Eh.” Bucky shrugged, working to keep a slightly goofy grin off his face. Wrestling with Natasha never failed to make him feel like he was fuckin’ flying but there was no reason for anyone else to know that. “Sorry I ignored your text earlier, I was-- actually I have no excuse. I just ignored it. So where did you land on the shorts thing?” 
“Yeah, about that.” Tony coughed, looking about fifty shades of self conscious. “I uh-- I’ve decided I was being stupid about all of it and bothering people with my nonsense. Sorry.” 
Bucky raised his eyebrows. “You decided you were being stupid? You decided it was nonsense?”
“Rhodey told me to either man up and ask Steve out or move the hell on.” Tony admitted. “And then he threatened to not only block my number but also to not come to Halloween, so uh-- yep. I’m moving the hell on.” 
“Wait, what?” Bucky exploded and Tony jumped. “Tony! You’ve been complaining to me for like three months about how Steve’s thighs make you weak inside and how you’ve never wanted to be yee-hawed by an American icon before! What do you mean you’re moving on!?”
“Oh god.” Tony blushed bright red. “I forgot about the yee hawed conversation. I would like to formally apologize for that. Also, to formally apologize for being basically crazy lately. I thought you’d be happy I’m not going to bombard you with awkward Steve-centric text messages.”
“Formal apology accepted.” Bucky waved him off. “Seriously, though. What th’fuck do you mean you’re just moving on? You and Steve--” 
“--would have been together by now if it was ever going to work.” Tony finished with a self deprecating shrug. “I feel like I’m definitely not subtle about wanting him and short of doing a song and dance and proposing to the guy, I don’t know where to go from here.”
“You certainly aren’t subtle.” Bucky agreed and Tony smiled a little. 
“No, I’m not. I mean, I kicked Sam in the ass the other night so he wouldn’t sit next to me cos I wanted Steve there instead. I’ve made so many comments about Cap’s body it’s starting to get creepy and if I invite him down to the lab any more it's gonna be weird. If Steve hasn’t gotten the hint by now, than it’s because he’s ignoring it which means he’s not interested.” 
Another of those shrugs. “It is what is it. I’ll wear pants with my costume instead of shorts and definitely not throw myself at him at the party. It’s fine.” 
“You really like him, don’t you?” Bucky asked, starting to feel maybe a little guilty about not paying better attention all the times Tony had asked for (admittedly terrible) advice. “This isn’t just about climbin’ Steve’s cornstalk and makin’ fertile?” 
Very few people in the world had heard Tony snort when he laughed, and it was a personal point of pride with Bucky that he managed to make Tony ugly snort at least once a week, so when Tony clapped a hand over his mouth and wailed in embarrassment Bucky couldn’t help laughing at him. 
“M’sorry sugar. I know you hate that.” 
“Oh no, it’s totally fine you go out of your way to make me snort.” Tony scowled. “And no, this isn’t about climbing Steve’s cornstalk and making fertile, whatever the hell that means. I really like him.” 
“Like.” Bucky hesitated. “Like you like like him?” 
“What are we, fourteen?” Tony rolled his eyes. “Yes, I like like him. In fact I think I might even be in love--” 
“Nope.” Bucky held up his hand to stop whatever Tony was going to say. He was not the one Tony should be making love confessions too, especially since Bucky knew Steve would plotz if he could hear it. “Nope, don’t tell me right now. In fact why don’t you tell me--” 
--And then Bucky got an idea. 
An awful idea. 
Bucky got a wonderful, awful idea. 
“--why don’t you tell me at the Halloween party tomorrow night.” he finished slowly. “Yeah. Yeah you should definitely tell me at the Halloween party. You should also definitely wear short shorts and not pants. We can talk in great detail about exactly how much you like Steve and how it’s definitely not just about sex and how you’re in love with him. I want to hear it all in great detail at the Halloween party.” 
“No way.” Tony went back to working. “I am absolutely not pouring out my heart in the middle of a party while I’m drunk on whatever Halloween themed mixed drink Clint comes up with. Knowing me, I’ll end up shouting bullshit across the room and Steve will hear and I’ll never live that down.” 
“Okay hear me out.” Bucky counted off on his fingers. “First, maybe you don’t get blind drunk on that neon toxic shit Clint makes. And second? Um. Steve isn’t coming to the party. He has a date with that barista down the way. So you’re fine. Third, we could always stand close enough that you aren’t shouting bullshit. Just a thought?”
“Seriously?” It was tough to tell if Tony was upset Steve had a date or relieved he wouldn’t have to worry about making a fool of himself. “He’s not coming? He has a date?” 
“It’s not a serious date.” Bucky was quick to assure him. “Just something casual. He got invited to a party and didn’t want to be rude and turn it down. But I’m just sayin’. He won’t be there for you to worry about. You’ll be able to relax and have a good time and then we can talk all about how much you definitely are into Steve.” 
“Um.” Tony frowned. “You seem a little amped to talk about how bad I wanna date your best friend.” 
“Nonsense!” Bucky said far too loudly. “I’m only trying to be a good friend! This isn’t suspicious at all!”
“...okay.” 
“I’ll be in the wolf costume.” Bucky said pointedly. “Wolf costume. Full mask, furry thing on my head. My arm will be covered cos it came with sleeves and cool gloves. Wolf costume. Find me.”
“Wolf costume.” Tony chuckled at Bucky’s over excitement. “Is Tasha Little Red Riding Hood?” 
“Yeah, she sure is.” Bucky made a mental note to inform his sort-of girlfriend about his...change of plans… “Wolf costume. Don’t forget. I want to hear all about it. All about it. So many details.” 
“Uh….” Tony still looked fairly confused when Bucky turned on his heel and dashed out of the lab, but he shrugged it off. 
He’d probably act weird if he got to wrestle with Natasha too. 
****************
“Steve!” Bucky blew into Steve’s room holding his wolf costume, banding the door against the wall and effectively scaring the other super soldier half to death. 
“Jesus, Bucky!” Steve yelped and scrambled to keep his towel up around his hips. “Learn to knock! I could’a been nekkid!” 
“I’ve seen you nekkid before and it’s nothing special.” Bucky scoffed and shoved the costume into Steve’s arms. “You should skip out on the date with the barista and go to Tony’s party instead and you should wear my costume. All of it. Full mask, gloves, sleeves, all of it. Wear it, you’ll look great.” 
“Wait.” Steve looked down at the costume and up at Bucky in confusion. “I don’t understand.” 
“That’s okay, you’re pretty and that’s all that matters.”
“Thanks, I think. But seriously--” 
“Seriously.” Bucky had put all of thirty seconds of thought into his plan and now had to scramble to come up with a valid reason why Steve should wear his costume. “It’s um-- well shit, it’s just too tight around my dick, Stevie. Doesn’t fit. I can’t return it and it seems like a shame to waste. So you wear it.” 
“It's too tight around your dick.” Steve repeated and Bucky spread his hands helplessly. “I’m bigger than you are, Buck.” 
“Alright there’s no reason to just outright lie about things now.” Bucky chuckled. “It’s too small on me, you should try it on and wear it. Ditch the date because the barista won’t want to listen to you talk about Tony all night and you know that’s what you’re gonna do.”
“But--” 
“It has a full mask so you can stare like a creeper and Tony will never know.” he persisted, and Steve argued, “It’s longing, Bucky! I stare at him with longing!” 
“Whatever. Wear the costume, come to the party.” 
“...fine.” Steve said reluctantly. “But--” 
“WEAR THE COSTUME AND COME TO THE PARTY STEVE!” 
**************
**************
The Halloween party was in full swing by the time Bucky snuck down from his bedroom and posted up in a nearly hidden corner on the far side of the common area. He might not be the Winter Soldier anymore but he knew a thing or two about being invisible and being able to watch while not being watched and he put all of those skills to use as he blended into the shadows and behind a full curtain. 
Tony had gone all out with decorations this year and the extravagance certainly helped Bucky’s covert operation. It was much easier to hide when Tony had literally swapped out their usual furniture for all black couches and chairs, had plastered the windows with black paint that reflected like stars and dimmed the lights to something gothic and fairly creepy. 
Bucky was invisible, unseen but all seeing, a shadow darker than the rest as he lurked just beyond--
“Bucky.” 
Bucky jumped at least a foot and almost knocked over a black shaded lamp as he scrambled to right himself, whirling around to glare at whoever had intruded on his space. 
“Natasha.” Of course it was Natasha, there wasn’t a person alive that could snake up on the Winter Soldier except the Black Widow and really, that was just fine with Bucky. Especially when the Black Widow was dressed like the sexiest Little Red Riding Hood he had ever seen in his life.
“Natasha.” he repeated, less irritated and more lusty this time around. “Wow.” 
“Don’t even look at me.” Natasha ordered and out of pure habit, Bucky’s head snapped up and around so he wasn’t looked at her. “You and I have a problem, darling.” 
“Not from where I’m standing.” Bucky denied, sneaking a look down the top of Natasha’s blouse. “You look amazin’, Tash. Who knew I was into fairy tale dames? You need a walk to Grandma’s house, baby doll?” 
Natasha’s full lips twitched like she wanted to smile, but her green eyes still flashed in annoyance. “I’m wearing the worlds most ridiculous costume because you told me you would wear an equally ridiculous costume. Why is it I’m parading around looking like a stripper at Disneyland and you are wearing normal clothes? And while we’re at it, why is Steve is the wolf?” 
“Steve's here?” Bucky craned his neck to see if he could spot a giant wolf among the party goers. “Ho ho ho my god he actually showed up! This is going to be amazing.” 
“Yes, he showed up.” Natasha raised a highly irritated eyebrow. “And since I assumed you were the one in the costume, I went up and did something extremely embarrassing and now I’ll never be able to look Steve in the eye again.” 
“Wait.” Bucky frowned. “You went up and did something embarrassing to Steve? What did you do? What’d you say? Not t’sound jealous or nothin’ but I figured you could tell it wasn’t me in there.” 
“I figured you would tell me you changed your mind!” 
“... yeah, that’s fair.” Bucky cleared his throat and offered an apologetic smile. Somehow in his glee over his wonderful awful idea, letting Nat know about the switch up had completely slipped his mind. “Real sorry about that, Tasha. I meant to tell you.” 
“You know what, it’s fine.” Natasha’s smile finally won out. “I know every inch of you and it was immediately obvious it’s not you in that hairy thing. I went up and slapped Steve on his butt and told him that doing more squats would keep his tail perky.” 
“Oh yeah?” Bucky made a show of checking his own butt and Natasha rolled her eyes. “You know every inch of me, huh? So what was the giveaway that it's Stevie in there and not me/” 
“The pants don’t fit right.” Natasha made a vague but purposeful gesture around the front of her costume. “He’s not as big as you and it was a little baggy where it shouldn’t have been baggy.” 
Bucky burst out laughing and clapped a hand over his mouth to muffle it. “Damn Tasha, you sure know how to make a fella feel good about himself.” 
“Mm-hmm, and that’s why you love me, right?” Natasha winked. “Cos I could pick your package out of a crowd?” 
Bucky winked right back and drawled, “That’s just one reason why I love you, baby. Just one in a whole damn list.” 
Natasha opened her mouth like she was going to say something else, something that made her nervous judging by the way she bit at her lip, but just then the semi spooky music cut out over the loudspeakers and was replaced by a rather rock and roll version of Thriller. 
The ceiling of the common area opened up across several panels treating everyone to a blast of cold night air, a shot of the beautifully starred night sky, and the incoming blur that was the Iron Man suit. 
Everyone in the room started cheering, the music cranked up louder and even Natasha couldn’t help clapping as Tony came blasting through the rooftop and slammed into the ground in that classic pose--
--an popped out of his suit looking fresh as a daisy, clad in nothing more than an Ironette Dancers uniform. 
Bucky’s grin stretched to something approaching manic. 
Steve was so fucked. 
Tonight would be awesome. 
*****************
There was nothing Tony loved more than making a grand entrance and since Halloween parties required the grandest of entrances, he thoroughly enjoyed stepping out of his suit to screams and cheers and loud loud whistles when everyone saw the Ironette costume. 
Yeah. I look amazing. 
The boots were the most uncomfortable things Tony had ever worn, followed closely by the sheer stockings that were giving him the wedgie to end all wedgies but god damn did his legs look great, and that was all that really mattered. 
….well, that and checking around to see if Steve had ditched his date and come to the party at the last minute. 
Tony moved through the party shaking hands and shaking butts up against various friends, laughing at the whoops and hollers in his direction and posing for about a million different pictures. The entire time he didn’t stop scanning the crowd, looking for a pair of ridiculously beautiful blue eyes and the sort of arms that did things to his already compromised heart. 
Every Halloween party previous, Steve had objected and protested and all but thrown a fit when it came to wearing a costume, but even if Mr. America had capitulated tonight and dressed up, Tony was pretty sure he’d be able to identify Steve in a dark room with a blind fold on and while wearing winter gloves. 
Not that he was obsessed or anything. 
Nah, that wasn’t obsessed, right?
“Tony!” A oiled up and loincloth wearing Sam butted into Tony’s thoughts and into his space, wrapping an around around his waist and hauling him up into a hug. “How did you know I wanted to see you in a bra and booty shorts? It’s like a Halloween miracle!” 
“Don’t look so surprised, I think we’ve established I favor almost-nudity over regular clothing any day.” Tony leaned in and sniffed at Sam’s breath. “And you...have been drinking Sour Green Apple jello shots? Is that how Clint got you into a loincloth?” 
“Clint got me into a loincloth by saying he’d love to swing from my vine.” Sam said flatly and Tony’s laugh was equal parts horrified and hysterical. “And as far as jello shots, Clint’s got a tray somewhere somewhere---” Sam caught his boyfriend’s arm and dragged him over, plucking two of the shots off the plate and pushing them into Tony’s palm. “Start with these and we will get you more.” 
“Hey hey good lookin.” Clint waggled his eyebrows and looked Tony over with a jello-shot enhanced leer. “Whatcha got cookin’? I am loving this almost nipply look from you, Tony. Why don’t you do a high kick and we’ll see if everything stays in those shorts?” 
“I’m not drunk enough for your terrible come ons or for what passes as witty banter.” Tony informed the archer, tossing back the alcohol and grimacing over the sweetly sour aftertaste. “But give me another six of these and we’ll be fine. I might even high kick in the corner while you swing from Sam’s vine later tonight.” 
“WHAT!?” Sam snatched the tray right out of Clint’s hands and shoved the entire thing at Tony. “Drink man, drink! Right now! Clint, get another tray!” 
“Chug chug chug chug!” Clint shouted and Tony pounded one and then two more of the neon colored gelatin. “MORE MORE MO--” 
“That’s quite enough of that.” Pepper Potts had no business looking so sultry as Poison Ivy, but her sudden appearance and costume of strategically placed leaves sure managed to shut the three men up. “Tony! Nice costume, we are seeing quite a bit more of you than expected tonight.” 
“I was gonna say the same thing about you, Ms. Potts.” Sam’s eyebrows were near to climbing off his head. “Can I also say, I have always been an avid gardener and would very much appreciate the chance to water your--” 
“Stop!” Pepper laughed and pushed Sam away. “I thought you and Clint were in love, how is that you both are trying to get every person at this party in bed?” 
“It’s the jello-shots, Pep.” Tony said solemnly, and passed her one. “Bottoms up.”
“Bottoms up.” she agreed, then hooked her arm through Tony’s and dragged him away from Sam and Clint’s wildly inappropriate influence. “You texted me something half hysterical about confessing your feelings to Steve tonight. Let me guess, you thought the Ironette costume was a good way to break the ice?” 
“Not to Steve.” Tony finished his last jello shot and tossed the container away. “Gotta talk to Bucky about it first. He finally realized when I say I’d like to ride Steve into the floor, I mean it in a cherishing sort of way. He said he wanted to hear how I felt about our resident Captain and that seems right, you know? Get permission from the best friend before taking someone on a date?” 
“Could I offer a little advice?” Pepper adjusted a leaf before it slipped a little further south than intended. “Maybe you leave out the sex references when you ask Bucky how he feels about you pursuing this thing with Steve. And by the way, the fact that Bucky wants to talk about it means he probably approves.” 
“I guess we’ll find out.” Tony spotted the wolf costume posted up by a column and staring his way so he raised his hand in a quick wave. “Wish me luck?” 
“You’ll be fine so long as you swear not to take advice from Clint or Sam.” Pepper kissed Tony’s cheek then wiped the smear of lip gloss off. “Go on. If you disappear from the party, I’ll assume Bucky gave you permission and you’re off doing unspeakable things to Captain Rogers.” 
“Steve isn’t here tonight.” Tony snatched a glass of something bright purple and bubbling off a passing tray and gulped it down. “So I won’t talk to him until tomorrow. But if you don’t see us for the next forty eight hours, feel free to assume all sorts of dirty things.”
“Charming.” Pepper huffed. “Just go on and get to your love confession already.” 
“Wish me luck!” Tony blew her a kiss. “If Rhodey shows up, tell him to find me!” 
Pepepr shouted something over the noise that Tony didn’t catch, but he wasn’t too worried about it. He was buzzing already, the jello shots going right to his head along with the driving beat and flashing lights and the cloying scent of too many mingled perfumes. 
Halloween was so much fun and it was sort of the perfect night to put feelings into words. He could talk to Bucky tonight, talk to Steve tomorrow and theoretically start the holiday season with a hot blonde boyfriend and honestly isn’t that what everyone wanted for Christmas? 
Ho ho holy crap was Bucky big in that costume, big and sort of scary with the full mask and clawed fingers and the getting drunk and horny part of Tony’s brain definitely loved the way the super soldier’s thighs strained at the black pants. 
God he needed laid. If things didn’t work out with Steve, maybe he really would take Sam and Clint up on the whole vine swinging thing. 
“Hey!” Tony waved at the Bucky wolf and stepped right into the big soldiers space so he didn’t have to shout so loud. “That costume is amazing! Where did you find it?” 
The answer was garbled behind the mask and Tony shook his head, waving off whatever Bucky was going to say. 
“Actually, I don’t care all that much, sorry. I’ve been thinking all day about what I wanted to say tonight, and I’ve already had a bunch of alcohol that should kick in here in about fifteen minutes and put me on my ass, so just listen alright?” 
Tony took a deep breath, adjusted the straps of his Ironette bra top and blurted it out all at once. 
“It’s not just sex! I don’t just want sex with Steve! I’m pretty sure I’d make that guy breakfast every day for the rest of my life just so he’d smile at me in the morning. And yeah he’s gorgeous but he’s also the nicest person I know. Even when he’s being a Yankee Doodle Dumbass, he’s still so damn nice it makes me feel like a terrible person daily.” 
Bucky held up a hand paw and Tony batted it away. “No let me finish before I lose my nerve. Steve is nothing like what I expected from all the stories and he’s so much better than I ever imagined and I think my favorite days are the ones he spends in the lab with me. I end up talking too much and he probably thinks I’m crazy but he still comes down every day with a sandwich or a drink and I’m pretty sure I love him for it.” 
“Tony--” 
“I’m pretty sure I love him.” Tony repeated, his eyes wide as he realized the enormity and the truth of the words all at once. “I do. Yeah, I definitely love Steve and it’s killing me that he went out on a date tonight because that just confirms he doesn’t notice or doesn’t care about all the hints I’ve been laying out, but if I have your permission--” 
“Tony!” 
“Buck, please just let me say this.” Tony snagged another something alcoholic, this one in a jaw dropping shade of shocking orange, and pounded that as well, wiping at his lips before almost yelling, “If I have your permission to date your best friend, I think I’m like four dates from marrying him!” 
Wolf Bucky was very silent and very still and Tony chewed at the inside of his cheek nervously, then tugged his booty shorts down a little bit further and offered a rueful, “You’d probably be able to take me seriously if I wasn’t wearing Iron Man lingerie, huh?” 
And then Bucky straightened up a full two inches taller than he was supposed to and just as Tony’s heart was starting to sink because he only knew one person who was that tall...
....the mask came off and he found himself staring into a pair of familiar blue eyes....
...and Tony’s heart plummeted to the bottom of his knee high, stiletto heeled gold and red boots. 
“Tony?” Steve asked slowly, carefully, and Tony shut his eyes because no no no no NO and then opened up into a wide grin and finger guns and announced, “I thought Bucky’s ass looked surprisingly peach like in those pants. Dead give away, I should have known it was you.” 
“Tony--” Steve said a little helplessly, but Tony just turned on his heel and walked away, cutting through the party and ignoring any cat calls and offers of more alcohol as he made a beeline for the door. 
“Oh my god, what the fuck….” Steve stripped off the wolf gloves and dragged his fingers through his hair. “What the fuck just happened--” 
“Hey.” Bucky clapped a big hand on Steve’s shoulder as he came up behind him. “So how was that?” 
“Buck-- Tony-- What-- How--” 
“Look, you have two options here.” Bucky said firmly. “Option A, you go after Tony. Option B,  I go after Tony.” 
“You go after Tony?” Steve repeated numbly and Bucky made a vulgar, explicit motion with his hips and promised, “Your bed, Steve. I swear I’ll do it.” 
“No. No. Nope.” Steve shook his head. “Nope. I’m going after him right now. You stay the hell away.” 
“Get along little doggie.” Bucky gave Steve a sharp swat on the butt as he passed. “Go get Slutty Iron Man.” 
Steve all but ran out the same door Tony had gone through and Bucky grinned to himself, picking up a bowl of candy corn from the nearby snack table and shoveling big handfuls into his mouth. 
“You planned that, didn’t you?” Natasha popped up at Bucky’s elbow and he swore out loud, spilling candy corn all over the floor when he startled. “At ease, soldier. I don’t know if it’s worrisome you never hear me coming or if it’s sweet you trust me so much I don’t set off any danger alarms for the Winter Soldier.” 
“Let’s go with sweet.” Bucky traded the bowl of candy for Natasha’s hand, picking it up and kissing her knuckles. “And I didn’t plan anything.” 
“No?” she challenged. “You didn’t give convince Tony that Steve was on a date while goading him into spilling his heart about Steve, and then convince Steve to cancel the date while pressuring him into wearing your costume?”
“Costume was too small for my dick.” Bucky grumbled. “Plus, it was pissin’ me off they both talked to me about each other, but never actually talked to each other. I heard so much of their bitchin’, I couldn’t even get you naked without hearing their voices.” 
Natasha muffled a laugh and Bucky squeezed at her hand. “Not that it stopped me from wantin’ to see you naked though. No worries there.” 
“I adore you.” Natasha clutched at Bucky’s shirt and yanked him down for a long kiss. “Let’s go get me drunk.” 
“Yep.” Bucky was very in favor of that idea. “Yep, lets get you drunk.” 
***************
“Tony.” Steve had to jog to catch up with Tony, and it was probably only the four inch heels on Tony’s ridiculous boots that kept the brunette from breaking into an all out sprint to get away from the Captain. “Tony wait-- honey just wait a second--” 
“Steve, I really don’t want to talk to you right now.” In another moment it would have been hysterical how much Tony’s butt wiggled as he hurried up the stairs, and in another moment Steve would have stopped to ogle the hint off cheek he could see under the tight red shorts. 
But in this moment, all Steve could think about was getting Tony to stop and listen, so he huffed a breath and took the last several steps three at a time until he was right behind his favorite genius. 
“Tony.” he grabbed at Tony’s hand --gently gently because the last thing he wanted to do was accidentally leave bruises when he’d much rather be leaving kisses-- and tugged him to a stop. “Please just listen--” 
“I don’t want to--” 
It was an accident, a happy accident as they say, but still an accident. 
Tony tried to yank away and Steve reflexively tightened his grip and pulled. Tony was already off balance thanks to the heeled boots and Steve was overly strong even when he was being careful. 
It was an accident, and Steve didn’t mean to yank Tony right up into his body but suddenly they were there pressed together and Steve did the only thing he could ever imagine doing all those times he’d thought about Tony falling into his arms. 
Steve kissed him. 
And oh oh oh Tony kissed him back. 
“Tony.” Steve sighed, moaned, wrapped his arms around Tony’s waist and crushed their mouths together and Tony made the sort of high pitched, desperate noise he would later deny to his dying breath and kissed him back. 
“Yesyesyes.” Steve drove them backwards into the closest wall, a careful hand at the back of Tony’s head so he wouldn’t bump too hard, his other hand grasping at Tony’s waist, sliding over the silk-satin hem of shorty shorts and then further down to palm over the frankly ridiculous rise and curve of Tony’s rear. “Tony, oh my god--”
Tony hooked his fingers into the fur at Steve’s collar and ripped him closer, arching his back to push his butt further into Steve’s hand and dragging his teeth at Steve’s bottom lip. In his boots Tony was only a few inches shorter than the Captain and he used the added height to his advantage, hooking his foot around Steve’s calf and shoving their hips together. 
Oh fuck there was that All American muscle, that Grade A home grown beef, definitely eight and maybe hopefully possibly nine inches of--
“Do you know you’re saying all that out loud?” Steve pulled away, eyes bright and cheeks flushed. “Because that’s weird.” 
“It’s not weird.” Tony denied and coaxed Steve back, rubbing purposefully against the bulge growing thicker by the second behind the zippered fly. “Not when I’ve been dreaming about you for months now.” 
“Dreaming about me….” Steve’s next kiss was almost sweet, almost tender despite the way he fit his thigh between Tony’s knees and urged him to move, shifting him back and forth until Tony was outright grinding down against him and whimpering into Steve’s mouth. 
“Fuck you’re gorgeous.” Steve buried his fingers into Tony’s hair to disrupt the perfect style, tugging at the strands and licking the sweetness from Tony’s mouth. “Tony you are so--so--” Steve’s entire frame shuddered when Tony tipped his head so their foreheads met, their noses barely bumping. 
“Listen.” Loathe to pull away even far enough to meet Tony’s eyes, Steve hovered just above Tony’s lips as he whispered. “Listen, listen listen. Tony. You are-- you are incredible. And I don’t want sex with you.” 
“What--?!”
“No no.” Steve shook his head in embarrassment. “No I mean, I don’t just want sex with you. I do want to do-- to do that sort of thing. But not just that sort of thing. My god, I’m bad at this--” 
“You’re better than you think you are.” Tony inched even closer. “Don’t stop talking.” 
“Okay.” Steve licked his lips, still close to enough to Tony to end up running his tongue along Tony’s lip as well and they both moaned into a soft kiss. “Okay. I want more than to just sleep with you. Wanna wake up in the morning and make you coffee, and I want to do that whether you make me breakfast or not. And you’re beautiful and so so sweet. I can’t believe I ever thought you were selfish and self centered, what the fuck was I thinking?” 
“Language.” Tony teased and Steve kissed him just to shut him up-- and because he would never get enough of Tony’s mouth on his own. 
“You make me want to be a better person, Tony.” Steve was almost whispering now. “A better Captain America, a better me. My favorite moments are when you let me into the lab, that’s like your sanctuary and you trust me in it and that’s amazing. I don’t ever understand half of what you’re talking about and I have no idea what quantum supremacy is or how the hell your nano tech works but I want you to talk about it all the time because you are so gorgeous when you talk about your science. I don’t understand it but I understand how happy it makes you and that's all I care about.” 
“Oh holy shit, you are good at this.” Tony choked out a laugh that was almost a sob and Steve gathered him up tighter until there wasn’t even an inch between their bodies and they were sharing each inhale of air. 
“Sweetheart, I would cancel a thousand dates just to watch you laugh.” Steve murmured. “And if you’re only four dates from marrying me, I’m only two from proposing, I swear to God I am Tony. Let me take you out on a date and I’ll prove it.” 
Tony was quiet, stunned speechless with his heart pounding and maybe tears in his eyes and when Steve asked, “Is that-- is that alright to say?” Tony managed a faintly sassy, “It’s the Ironette costume, isn’t it? You just can’t resist it?” 
“It’s you, Tony.” Steve said firmly, and then with a smile bordering on lecherous as he groped at the booty shorts and down to the sheer nylon. “But the outfit helps.” 
“...can I tell you I love you?” Tony asked shyly, and Steve returned just as shyly, “Only if I can say it first.” 
*****************
Natasha was very very drunk, drunk enough that when Bucky dragged her away from the party and hurried her up the hallway to the bedroom she announced, “Soldier if you want me moving faster, you’re just gonna to have to carry me.” 
“With pleasure.” Bucky swooped up the giggling red head like she didn’t weigh a damn thing. “Your room or mine, baby doll?”
“Yours.” Natasha decided, hooking her arms around Bucky’s neck and tugging him in for a kiss. “I feel extra safe and warm in your bed. Sometimes I don’t ever want to leave.” 
“Oh.” Bucky sighed a little and kissed her so so softly, knowing full well Natasha was only this open because she was drunk and in the morning they would be back to their usual, carefully worded interactions. He loved it anyway, loved when Natasha was pliant and sweet and forgot to be careful with what she said. 
“That makes me real happy.” he whispered and Natasha scrunched up her nose and kissed him again. “C’mon love, I’ll take you to my bed.” 
“What do you think happened to Tony and Steve?” she wanted to know as Bucky carried her up the stairs. “Do you think everything worked out? I bet they are doing the deed right now.” 
Natasha’s green eyes lit up and she grinned, silly and tipsy. “I bet they are doing the horizontal monster mash as we speak!” 
“Fuck me you’re cute when you’re drinking. But as far as whether or not Steve and Tony are doing any sort of horizontal mash--” Bucky sidestepped a discarded Ironette boot, then dodged what looked like the remains of sheer stockings and half a butt cheek from tiny gold and red shorts. 
“You know what? I think I don’t want to know. I know it’s supposed to be a scary night but some things--” there was the Ironette bra flung over a plant. 
“--yeah, some things are just--” the wolf pants with the zipper literally ripped off. 
“--oh my god. Yeah, that’s too horrifying to think about. Happy Halloween, let’s never talk about Steve and Tony together ever again.”

WHO: Dick Grayson @amazingflyingdick & Steve Rogers @fightbattlesthatmatter ; mentions of Slade Wilson @terminator-deathstroke and Bucky Barnes @sgtbbarnes107 WHERE: Avenging League Meeting Room WHEN: Backdated to September 13th, 2020 WHAT: Dick briefs Steve instead of Bruce on what happened at NOVA. 
DICK: Tim was with Damian. That was the first thing Dick heard once the explosions faded away and he realized he hadn't gotten everyone out. There were a number of NOVA employees wandering around looking dazed, some needed medical attention, and he stayed with them until EMS arrived and took control of the situation. He saw other members of the league, but not Bruce. That filled him with relief and dread; he didn't know which one he felt more strongly.
Instead of explaining to the first member of the team he came across, he asked to talk to Steve. The message was sent through the comms that Nightwing was waiting for him where the justice league held their previous meeting. He sat at the large table by himself, removed his mask, and twisted it between his hands while he waited for Steve to arrive. Now that he was alone and the impact began to settle in, he felt the weight of it bearing down on him. It made him slump so far in his chair that his forehead nearly rested against the table, but he looked up when he heard someone approaching. His eyes were glassy, red, and there was a dazed look about him. "Hey, I..." Dick swallowed hard and forced himself to sit up straight. "I couldn't get them all. I couldn't."
STEVE: Steve was stunned to be told that Nightwing wanted him. Dick. They had worked together for his brief stint with the SCPD, before he had quit to fix things with Bucky. That had turned out to be a real joke, hadn't it? He had screwed Jim over only for it to fall apart six months later. But he should have known he wouldn't be a good cop. He hadn't been a good soldier, either.
Of course, as one of the heads of the League, he agreed to meet with Dick, though he was surprised that he wanted him and not Bruce. Maybe it was a father and son thing. He didn't want to tell Bruce, his father, something he needed to tell his CO. Or whatever Steve was. They did give orders to the League, but he didn't know if they thought of it like that. Whatever the reason, Steve showed up, the shield still on his back as he made his way into the meeting room.
At the table, Dick looked... well honestly, he looked like shit. And Steve wondered what happened. Of course, he had heard about NOVA's headquarters. At first, he had wondered if it were another mutant special. He hadn't been overly comfortable with them working with Magneto in any capacity in spite of the assurance that it'd be fine. But he'd be corrected shortly after. And now, to hear Dick apologize... Steve felt his chest tighten.
"It's not your fault, Dick," he said simply. "Sometimes... you can't get them all. It hurts and you feel it, but we're only human, right?" Was that the reason he wanted Steve? He could appreciate the way the guilt felt, but he was surprised that Dick couldn't talk to Bruce about this. "There's a lot of uncertainty as to what happened. You couldn't have known."
DICK: Steve's empathy and the kindness in his voice was almost too much for Dick to handle. He'd been expecting to hear disappointment, or a sterner sort of understanding, and it took a great deal of effort for him to maintain his composure. It felt as if everything were crumbling around him. Parts of his life were shattered and lay strewn amongst the wreckage of NOVA's headquarters. He had no idea where to even look for an answer. The thought of facing Bruce after knowing what happened and who was responsible for it made his blood turn ice cold.
"No, no, I should have known. It was my brother. It was..." What did he even call Slade? Did Steve even know about that? Dick had no idea, but it filled him with shame to think of everyone's reaction. Would they suspect that he'd known something and kept it from them to protect Damian and Slade? Would he blame them for thinking that? No, not really, and that was the worst part of it all. The choices he made had been selfish ones. He hadn't thought about the impact they could have on the people around him. For once, Dick had done what he wanted, what felt right to him, instead of what he knew others would expect. He hadn't asked himself what Bruce would do, and this was where it got him.
Swallowing hard, he shook his head again. "I'm sorry. I tried, I stayed as long as I could, there wasn't time to find the bombs, I..." He squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath. "They did this because of what happened to me. All of those people are dead because I was shot. I didn't see Damian, I never saw him, but I saw... Deathstroke."
STEVE: Steve watched Dick as he vehemently refused before raising a brow. "I said that it wasn't your fault, Nightwing." Maybe using his codename would get his attention better. Unless your brother told you, I don't see how you could have known."
He paused when Dick mentioned Deathstroke. Deathstroke was Slade Wilson, Bruce had said. And he was Dick's fella. That... got complicated. And, weirdly enough, it was the kind of complicated that Steve actually understood. In fact, he didn't think there was anyone in the world that might be able to understand it quite like he could give who his fella was--er... used to be. Was? He didn't know and he didn't pause to think about it.
"Did you talk to him?"
DICK: The use of his vigilante identity made Dick's mouth go dry. It did remind him of who he was and what he believed in, what he was supposed to stand for, and the pain that came with the understanding was almost unbearable. He winced, but this time didn't argue. There had to be a reason he'd never even suspected what was happening. Looking back, he had to wonder if it were just denial.
His brow furrowed and his shoulders hunched as he twisted the mask so tightly that it began to cut off the circulation in his fingers. "Yeah," he said quietly, his voice oddly steady despite how his hands shook. "Yeah. My footage, in my mask... it records everything." That was something Dick knew he'd have to give over at some point. Bruce was too thorough not to want that information, even though the idea of Bruce hearing that conversation made his chest ache.
Removing the micro-drive from the mask, he slid it into the thumb drive and attached it to the laptop Tony had used to present during the meeting. Seconds later he was playing it in front of both of them, as if they were right there on scene, and although he kept his head down the sound of Slade's voice made him flinch.
STEVE: Steve watched everything as Dick played it, almost feeling like he was intruding. After all, this all felt very intimate. Very... personal. He had had conversations like this. With Bucky. But the things Bucky had done had all come before they had fallen into what they used to have. So it had never been quite the same. And Steve wasn't quite as strict when it came to his definition of morality. But he knew that love could make you do crazy things. Like disappear for years and systematically murder members of the same organization. He knew that it could make you turn your back on your friends and then nearly kill the closest one you had.
He wondered what Dick was going to do with it? Had he called for Steve to get some kind of chewing out for something he thought was his fault? He wasn't going to get it.
"So we know a who and a why. That's... useful." He considered for a moment before looking at Dick. "Is that the only copy of it?" He could imagine how it would feel for Dick to have Bruce or his family see it. He was willing to bet they wouldn't get it. And they wouldn't get how Dick was feeling. From how Dick seemed to be responding, Steve wasn't sure that everything was expressly healthy with the Waynes. But he didn't say that. Just waited for his answer.
DICK: It was hard to hear the words a second time, especially because Dick hadn't gotten the time to process them the first time. Hearing what Slade said now that he was calmer made him absorb the situation a little differently. It weighed on him still, especially when he heard the sound of panic in his own voice. He barely recognized himself on that recording. By the time it was over, he realized his eyes were wet and he quickly reached up with the back of his hand.
He had no idea what Steve would say. Dick knew some about him, about his history, but he'd never discussed his values at length. It said something that Bruce was working with him. Maybe he wouldn't be as reprimanding as Bruce or even Clark would be in his place, but that didn't mean he thought any of it was justified. When it came down to it, Dick had let himself get close to a murderer and then failed to uncover a plan brewing right under his nose. Damian also being involved threatened to tear their family apart. He had no idea how Bruce was going to take it.
The response surprised him and he blinked, but nodded. "Yeah. It's... I mean, you can have it. Bruce will want to see it." And Dick would give it to him, even though he didn't want to. The thought of anyone in his family seeing a scene like that made him feel sick. Despite everything, the things Slade said to him would never go away; the words were burned in his brain. It made him realize he couldn't watch it again.
STEVE: Steve nodded, considering for a long moment. Bruce Wayne would want that footage. He was sure of it. He was sure that he would analyze every microsecond of it and apply his own meaning. Steve and Dick weren't close, but they were friendly. And Dick had heard some shit about Bucky. Back when Steve had shown up to work with a wrecked windpipe and a bruised up throat. He knew enough to know that Steve would understand how hard it was talk about something like that. Even just to strangers. Bruce might chew him out, or he might just sit in quiet judgement. Steve didn't know. He respected the man, but he didn't actually know him all that well. It seemed like very few people did.
He didn't want to take the chance of Dick having to go through that. He wasn't blind. It felt wrong to send the other into a lion's den with evidence that would likely condemn him to his own dad. That seemed sick. Bruce could get what he needed out of a briefing. "Right," he said, before abruptly reaching for the flash drive. He didn't doubt that Tony would have copies of everything else he had put on it. So he flexed his hand hard, crushing the thing into all but dust. "Oops," he said flatly.
Dropping the pieces on the table, he moved to rest a hand on Dick's shoulder. "Look, son," he said simply. "I'm not even gonna ask you if you knew about this. If you had, we'd know too. I know you well enough to know that." Shaking his head, he shrugged. "But i am gonna be frank and remind you that we're not just the masks. I'm not just Cap. You're not just Nightwing. Outside of this, we're living, breathing people. You don't have to tear yourself up for this. It's not your fault."
DICK: Although Dick knew Steve from when they were on the force together, they'd only partnered up a handful of times. That didn't mean he wasn't observant and didn't notice things that most people would overlook. He heard what was said and he knew what was in Steve's file. Back when Bruce had first told him about the league, Dick had looked at it out of sheer curiosity. He'd felt guilty afterward. He wasn't like Bruce. There were some things that weren't necessary to know about people - things that weren't his business to know. Bruce found nothing too sacred to record, even when it involved his own kids. That was a difficult truth to shoulder.
His heart sank when he saw Steve take out the flash drive, but he didn't move to stop him. It wasn't until he saw the crushed pieces glittering on the tabletop underneath the bright fluorescent light that he realized what he'd done. Shocked, he looked up and met Steve's gaze, confused even though he didn't allow himself to voice that silent question. Why? They both knew why. Sort of.
Swallowing hard, he dropped his head in response. His hand lifted to his forehead, covering his eyes and then part of his face. The words were overwhelming to hear, he found it difficult to be soothed by them entirely, but it made the utter devastation he felt a little more bearable - even if that were temporary. Dick wanted to confirm that he didn't know, he didn't even want it to be a thought, but he knew it wasn't necessary. Steve didn't need him to say it. It wasn't even possible for him to speak through the thick, choked feeling in his throat. He couldn't do anything but nod, and his shoulders shook but he was quiet, his face still hidden in the curve of his hand.
STEVE: As the other dropped his head, Steve sighed. "We're not happy that people died, Dick. But you didn't kill them. You didn't know what was going to happen. We're not happy that vital intel could have been destroyed, but you weren't there to recover that." He moved around to the front of the other, catching his shoulders. "As far as I'm concerned, your mission was a success and the priority. You found the labs, got people out, and kept an eye on Magneto. That part went off without a hitch. The rest was complication. Your objective was achieved."
Would that help? Steve would advocate for Dick if came up. Because he wasn't wrong. Dick had done what was asked of him. He hadn't engaged Deathstroke in a fight and he hadn't pursued, but he wouldn't have been able to take him in the state he was in anyway. So then it was just preservation of resources. He would figure out a way to work this into capacities that Bruce could better understand.
DICK: Dick breathed in when Steve caught his shoulders, but he let his hand fall away from his face so he could look up at him. He wasn't going to refuse to acknowledge what he said, or stay hidden in shame, even though the guilt was still raw and painful. Maybe he hadn't killed the people himself, but they had been killed because of something he'd done. Ultimately that was what it came back to.
Steve's words did change how he looked at the situation, though. They didn't go unheard. Dick knew he'd done what he could, he used what time he had to evacuate people from the building, and he didn't regret his choice to let Slade go. What would have been the alternative? More people would have died. The SCPD wouldn't have been able to keep Slade even if Dick had been able to apprehend him, which was questionable. Would Slade have fought, had he tried? He was glad he would never have to know. "NOVA's prisoners are safe. The ones in the lab. He got them out before the bombs went off. I don't think Damian or Sl - Deathstroke knew they were there." The main facility's labs had been a well-kept secret. "And they didn't know we were there." That was something he considered. What if he'd arrived ten minutes later, without enough time to get out of the building before the bomb turned everything to rubble? Talk about cruel irony.
STEVE: "Good," he answered. "That's the most important thing. I... I'm sorry that this guy thought we were too slow to deal with things. I had heard about your injury, but we hadn't gotten the confirmation that it was NOVA that ordered your hit. And things... needed to be figured out first. We wanted it air tight." Still, it disturbed him and had disturbed him for a while, honestly. This organization had been allowed to exist for song long in Star City. He wondered how many people thought this about the League or the people sworn to protect them. He wondered if they could see that they had had to be careful. For their safety. For the people's safety.
Considering for a moment, Steve took another breath. "How are you going to handle it?" He was sure that Dick would do something. He wasn't just the League. He had other things he did outside of it. Steve knew that. Most of them did.
DICK: "No, don't be sorry. I wouldn't have wanted you to do anything different. Not even if you were sure." Not anything like this. This wasn't what he wanted. Everything he'd seen, bodies with their severed hands and the woman half-crushed in the doorway, he knew those images would stay with him for a very long time. Dick had seen a lot even in his lifetime, but that never made death any easier to handle, especially when he was powerless to intervene. For every person he saved there were at least a dozen he hadn't been able to help.
He wasn't sure which part Steve meant at first. There were so many things to handle that he didn't know where to put his focus yet. His thoughts were all over the place and he couldn't even make sense of what he was feeling. "I don't know," he finally admitted quietly, picking at his thumbnail. "One day at a time, I guess. That's all I know how to do."
STEVE: He considered for a long minute. "I think that guy is twisted, Dick." He wasn't like Bucky in that Bucky had never chosen to be the way he was. Deathstroke had. But he still had felt the weight of his partner's notoriety just like Dick had. On a massive scale. "But I think, based on the things he was saying, he must care about you. I don't know what you want to do with that information or not. I don't know if it makes it better or worse, but it's true at least."
"I'll brief Bruce on the professional level, but I'm sure you're going to run into him on a Damian level. I'm sorry if things get nasty for you there. But he's your family, right? You guys will figure it out."
DICK: It wasn't as if Steve were wrong, but Dick felt a strange knee jerk reaction to defend Slade, which felt insane, and it made him doubt his resolve. He was usually unshakeable in his determination. Uncertainty wasn't an emotion he knew well or felt comfortable with. When he thought of the things Slade said to him, the way he'd said it, it made something in his chest tighten. He nodded silently. It wasn't a claim he would refute, because he knew Slade cared in his way, even if that was - as Steve would probably say - twisted. "I don't know either. Better, I guess. No. I don't know." Ten years ago, he'd believed the opposite. Had that felt worse? In a way, yes, but no one had died for it.
"Yeah," he replied dully. "I don't know what Bruce will do. I haven't talked to him yet. Tim is with Damian right now."
STEVE: "I get that it can be hard. And with someone like Slade... I get it too. More than you might realize." He considered. "If you choose to leave him and you need some support... I have time. Just call." He didn't think there was much more to say to him about it. He didn't think he needed to tell Dick how to feel or what to do. That was up to him really. He just wanted him to know that if he needed a friend a little more removed from the situation, Steve could be that friend.
"I'm sure he and I will touch base, but until then, I won't keep you. I'm sure you want to be with your brother?"
DICK: Nodding, Dick swallowed hard. He knew Steve would understand better than most, but it was still different for him, wasn't it? Because Bucky chose to be different. "I am. Leaving... I mean. I think, I... I have to get my dog. I have to go home." Back to his apartment with M'gann. He needed that space to process this. "But wouldn't you? If it were you, and you saw that... that this is what it's going to always be? Just people dying, people you could have helped, and..." What else could he do? What else was there to do? Just because he wanted it to work didn't mean he could force things into what he wanted them to be.
He nodded again. He needed to see Damian, to know that he was okay, and he took a shaky breath. "Yeah. Thanks... for everything.”
STEVE: Steve swallowed. "Have you... talked to Bucky ever?" he asked. "Or maybe read about him?" Most people had. Most people knew at least a little something about Bucky. And Dick seemed like Steve in a lot of ways. It wasn't exactly the same, because Bucky had never once chosen to be triggered. But he had chosen to kill before. Steve knew his morals weren't exactly the same as Dick's, even, so the analogy wasn't perfect. But he could connect to this feeling. The feeling of choosing something dangerous. Of throwing in with something society would stamp on his for.
"Of course, Dick. Anytime. I mean it."
DICK: "Yeah, a little. I mean..." Dick hadn't gone into the file Bruce had on Bucky, but he read some about him just from Steve's. It was enough to make him understand the parallels, but he knew there were differences too. Steve's team accepted Bucky being on the league, more or less, and he couldn't see that happening in a million times. He never expected Slade to turn away from what he was, and he also wouldn't ask him to. If he were going to go back, it would be because he had to accept this as their reality. "But he wants to do good. He wants to be different. Right? Or he wouldn't be on the league."
STEVE: "He does, yes. But back when I was first... advocating for him, I guess. I turned against SHIELD, I turned against my friends. And Bucky was dangerous. We didn't know if he was ever going to be any better." It was painful to talk about Bucky and how much Steve cared about him given that they were... whatever they were right now, but he wanted Dick to have this to connect to. He wasn't alone. He wasn't the only one who had made choices that others had looked down on. "There was always a chance that he would snap or something would change and he'd hurt people. Kill them. To this day, he's still known as a prolific assassin. Just like Natasha is." He swallowed.
"I... would have loved him anyway," he added quietly. "Even if he never changed. It would be hard, but I was in it for the long haul when we started." Biting his lip, he lifted a shoulder. "Maybe Slade can change too. If you're in it for the long haul. I can't..." Steve sighed, rubbing his hand over his face. "Can't promise it'll work out or that you'll stay together even if he did want to change. Buck and I didn't." It was the first time he had said it out loud and, though he didn't want to draw much attention to it, if felt like he had been hit in the gut. "But you might. Guess it just depends on how it all works out, you know? But, if my two cents matters, even knowing what i know now, I would have been with Bucky anyway." Even if they would never be fixed.
DICK: It wasn't his fault. That was the first thing Dick thought about Bucky, when he'd read about him, but then... maybe it wasn't Slade's fault, either. They hadn't been through the same difficulties to get where they were, not even close, but that didn't mean Slade had started out like he was now. It was just the end result of tragedy and the metagene. He couldn't do anything about what happened in the past, but he'd always seen Slade beyond the atrocious acts he was capable of. That had always set him apart from the rest of the Titans, who never understood why Dick was willing to work with Deathstroke. Now they would think they knew, but that was a partnership that started before any of this ever had. "I always thought that... if someone was trying to be better, if they wanted to be, then they deserved a chance."
He shook his head slowly. "He doesn't want to. He's told me before. This is what he is, what he knows, and... and it's what he wants." How could it not be, when Slade had willingly risked everything to fall back on it? Even if he said this had been for him, it had been about more than that, and he'd done this Deathstroke's way. "I'm sorry," he offered quietly, looking up at Steve again. "For what happened between you two. If there's anything I can do..." That was something he understood, too: doing your absolute best and giving everything for the person you loved, only to realize they were tethered to something stronger than what you had to offer.
STEVE: "No need to apologize," he said, holding up his hand. "I appreciate it, but there's nothing to be done." That'd work itself out or it wouldn't. But it wasn't really what he had said it for. It was just a bit of grounding realism and the understanding that he would have done everything anyway, even knowing how it had end up. Steve had been trying to say that sometimes love was worth the struggle. He must sound like Diana.
"I agree about that. People deserve second chances and they deserve the right to reshape themselves. If they want it." He lifted a shoulder. "I've come to learn that sometimes you can't force people to move until they're ready, even if you have the best intentions. Maybe he'll come around. Maybe he won't. But loving him or caring for him before all this or even after doesn't make you a bad person and it doesn't make it a mistake. Not if it was important to you."
DICK: Dick nodded. He knew that it was something Steve and Bucky would have to work out between each other, if it could even be fixed, and it wasn't his business to ask. Their similar situations did lend some comfort, even though he knew the differences might be what made this impossible for him to reconcile with.
"Yeah." He did agree with that. If Slade came to him weeks from now and claimed he wanted his life to be something different, Dick knew he would help him, without question, and be willing to put aside everything that happened before. He just knew better than to expect it. Others would disagree about the kind of person he was for giving Deathstroke access to his life and his emotions. Dick wasn't convinced they were wrong, but it was still nice to hear. "I risked everything for it. Like you did. It was... important." Sighing quietly, he took out his phone and then pushed himself to his feet. "Tim is bringing Damian back. I'll see you later?"

July 22nd-28th
Tumblr media
Another long one, so it’s under a read more!
You can find my other Weekly Recaps here!
Complete
crowding the hitter by rooonil_waazlib/ @rooonil-waazlib (Shrunkyclunks | 13K | Explicit): But the trash monsters are coming closer, and Bucky’s going to be pissed if he has to get his grate replaced tomorrow. He turns off the panini press, heads into his bedroom, and pulls his college baseball bat out of the closet, pausing only to pull on the slacks he’d just taken off. He’s going to go defend his shop, and he’s not going to do it in his underpants.
Of all the universes in the multiverse, you had to walk into mine by cleo4u2/ @cleo4u2 (Multiverse AU | 5K | Mature): Steve Rogers is trying to take over the world and SHIELD Agent James "Bucky" Barnes is trying to stop him. Only, Rogers is a super-soldier and Bucky is not. Things are looking grim until he's saved by... Steve Rogers?
Happier by dixons_mama (PWP | 1,7K | Explicit): Six days apart is a long time, in Steve's opinion, to be away from Bucky. Once reunited, they prove distance makes the dick grow fonder.
Sugar Lips and Sinful Hips by TheFlailing (Sugar Daddy AU | 20K | Mature): Bucky Barnes is a successful New York businessman, and at a glance, it looks like he's got everything a man could want. But deep down, underneath the money and the pretty face, the truth is this: he's lonely. Enter one Steven Grant Rogers: starving college student, just trying to make ends meet - and hot as fuck. Bucky desperately needs to be in his pants. And that's all; nothing more. Right?
Don't you understand, I don't want to hold your hand by verzacefatale (Post-IW, in Wakanda | 8K | Explicit): His dick worked when he wanted it to, and sometimes when he didn’t before he knew what he was doing, before he learned how to stifle his feelings for the well-dressed and cut-clean guys at the dancehalls he dragged Steve to, before he learned how not to want Steve in this desperate, all-consuming kind of way, the kicked-up-stink-fear of losing Steve because of something even Bucky didn’t understand, not really, not yet, if he ever could.
With a Steady Hand, and a Little Time by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (Evanstan | 3K | Teen): Chris is a lot of human; big, noisy, unfettered emotions, sent out fearlessly and joyfully into the world, pulling everyone around him into the strength of his orbit. When he’s drunk, Anthony finds out relatively early into their working relationship, it’s about a thousand times worse.
Cellophane Soldier by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (WW2, Epistolary | 4K | Mature): Five letters Bucky wrote to Steve during the war and didn't send, and the one he did send. Presented in the format of a history textbook printed six decades later.
Won't Let You Go by dixons_mama (Evanstan canon | 1,1K | General): After seeing Chris have an anxiety attack at a con, Sebastian goes to his hotel to try and comfort his friend. Fluff ensues.
lately, i like 'em crazy (maybe you could devastate me) by voxofthevoid/ @voxofthevoid (Vampire AU | 4,8K | Explicit): Bucky’s a vampire, and Steve is Steve. The twenty-first century still finds them fucking their brains out and bleeding feelings all over the bed.
WIP
💙 Like Real People Do by 2bestfriends (Shrunkyclunks, canon divergent post-Avengers | 18K | 3/10 | Explicit): Seven years into an isolated retirement after the Battle of New York, Steve has carved out a place for himself in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. He has a best friend (his dog, Lady), a frenemy (a local black bear named Rufus), and a cabin in the middle of the woods, an hour’s drive from the nearest town. As November comes to a close, he heads into town to pick up supplies and ends up with a stowaway.
Solitary by exclamation/ @jessicameats (Canon divergent | 34/? | 85K | Mature): The Winter Soldier has been a prisoner of SHIELD for about a year and a half, placed in solitary confinement under strict security when it was clear he wasn’t going to respond to the best interrogators and deprogrammers SHIELD had available. When Fury asks a newly awakened Steve Rogers to assist, Steve is hesitant. He doesn’t understand why Fury thinks he would have a better chance of getting through to this guy than all the people who have tried and failed.
💙 This Side of the Blue by notlucy/ @notlucy (Mermaid AU | 21/44 | 76K | Explicit): Tucked against a set of crumbling, stone steps was a tank made of metal and glass, filled to the brim with greenish water, distorted sunlight filtering through and casting strange shadows. Playing tricks on the eye. A trick was the only explanation for what Steve saw floating there. This figment of his childhood. This myth. This legend. Within the tank, the siren bared its teeth.
💙 a rupture, a rapture by newsbypostcard (Post-IW | 16/33 | 104K | Explicit | Warning: MCD, Violence): “In my timeline, on April 27th, 2018—today—Thanos invades Earth to collect the final Infinity Stone, and succeeds. With the snap of his fingers, Thanos erases three and a half billion people from existence on Earth alone. I’ve come back in time to prevent this from happening."(After the Cataclysm, and also before.)
💙 Cakes & Balances by mambo/ @whtaft (POTUS Steve | 6/? | 11K | Teen): It’s kind of hard to date the cute baker from down the street when you’re the President of the United States of America. But Steve Rogers will make it work.
Sugar Daddy Wanted by MorningGlory2/ @captainrogerrsbeard (Sugar Daddy AU | 7/8 | 72K | Explicit): When Steve Rogers, 24, became a male escort, there was no room for emotions. He had a full appointment book and no time for that. There was definitely no time to get attached to an older, very successful, very gorgeous man who paid for his services. James Barnes, 38, successful resort designer and CEO for Winter Luxury Resorts, stumbled upon Steve Rogers, Escort in a dark, high end bar in midtown Manhattan. He was cocky, young and beautiful and offered James exactly what he was looking for—the chance to be with a man who knew the ropes and offered no opportunity to get attached. Until of course, he gets attached. And suddenly, what was a contractual affair turns into much more. 
Bucky Barnes and the Embarrassment of Spidermen by AggressiveWhenStartled (Multiverse, Peter-centric(ish) | 3/5 | 11K | Mature): “Peter,” Steve said into the table. “Please tell me you didn’t bring home someone from Tony’s alternate dimension.” “Of course I didn’t,” Peter said, looking indignant. “I wouldn’t do that. I brought him to your place.”
Re-read
💙 Honey Honey by justanotherStonyfan/ @justanotherstonyfan (Shrunkyclunks, Future AU, Sugar Daddy | 15K | Explicit): The kid is maybe, oh, twenty years younger than him? Clean-shaven, and looking out of the corner of his eye at Steve in the same way Steve feels he must be looking at the kid – i.e., like he wants to do any number of unmentionable things to him.Because boy does Steve ever want to do unspeakable things to this kid. (Part 1 of Honey Honey)
Suppress that shit by appalachian_fireflies/ @appalachianfireflies (ABO AU | 15K | Explicit | Warning: Rape/non-con): Steve's been on street suppressants for years to cope with something he doesn't want to talk about, thanks. He gets why the hospital is making noises about liver failure, but he couldn't care less. They don't get it. This alpha they're sending him to isn't going to either.
Masquerade by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (Evanstan | 5K | Explicit): It hasn’t been that long since he got himself laid, but it’s been long enough, that good percentage of his body wants him to take the few steps into the alley and kiss the stranger stupid. He’s exactly Sebastian’s type – masculine but pretty, cocky but with a softer edge to him, like he’d be sweet in the mornings. If he’d met this man in the bar earlier, he would definitely have taken him home.
💙 Hey, Asshole! A New York City Love story by bunnymaccool/ @bunnymaccool (Shrunkyclunks, Pre-Avengers | 15K | Teen): Bucky's running late for the bus and he's stuck in line behind some ridiculous shoulder to waist ratio bastard who's too busy flirting with the baristas to get his frickin' order in. After he tells the dude off, completely in his rights he feels, the damn oversized puppy-faced ass keeps following him around and trying to apologize. And okay, dude is hot like burnin', but Bucky just doesn't have the time or patience for soothing the wounded ego of some gymrat wannabe with an obsession for dressing like he's hiding from the mob and .... why are you laughing, Sam?
💙 Quench by AidaRonan (Modern AU, PWP | 5K | Explicit): Or the one where archeology intern Bucky Barnes meets actual archeologist Steve Rogers and reaches levels of thirst scientists once believed to be theoretically impossible.

Let Me
Written for @mcukinkbingo
Square Filled: Aftercare
Pairing: Tony/Bucky 
Rating: E
Warnings: Mentions of past trauma and loss, off-page BDSM, wounds, injuries, angst,  
This is my first time writing this pairing and the subject mater is bit out of my wheelhouse. I hope you enjoy but if you have any constructive criticism, I’m very open to receiving it. 
~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~ Tony pulled his dick from my ass with an obscene squelch of cum and lube.  I collapsed onto the bed and tried to catch my breath.  Everything hurt.  But every bruise, bite, and lash mark was a testament to my atonement.
The bed dipped.  Tony disappeared into my bathroom and closed the door.  I heaved a shuddering sigh and then curled onto my side, wincing as the sheets brushed over my tender skin.
The serum made me strong.  It gave me endurance and a longer life-span than anyone had a right to.  It didn't take away the pain; but then pain had been the whole point, right?  I needed to be punished for the things I had done.  
And Tony Stark had given me no quarter.
~~~~~~~~~
The Wakandans had helped me get my mind together.  I'd worked through the brain washing and for the most part, I was me.  Well, me plus skills I'd never had as a soldier, a new arm, and a mountain of guilt and regret.  When I was ready, The Avengers had given me a home and most importantly, a purpose.
I'd helped them take down Thanos on Wakanda. And I'd helped to make sure we all came back from that mission alive. 
When Tony returned to Earth, he and Steve found a way through their resentment and worked to put The Avengers back together.  Even more surprising, Tony had welcomed me to the team, though not exactly with open arms.  He'd given me a very wide berth; but, it was better than him trying to kill me, so I accepted it and did my best to help The Avengers out where I could. I had a lot to atone for and I was just grateful to have the chance.
Months went by.  Tony didn't talk to me, he talked around me, always relaying messages through others and Friday.  He wouldn't look me in the eye.  And if, god forbid, we found ourselves alone in the same room, Tony always suddenly had somewhere else to be.
I had killed Tony Stark's parents.
A fact, a wall, a gaping chasm that stood between us.  And it killed me to know how badly I'd hurt him.  How I'd driven a wedge between him and Steve so deep that it had cracked the Avengers in two.
Steve warned me not to poke the bear.  The Winter Soldier had done those things, not me, not really. But I've never really been the kind of guy to take advice from others.  
It didn't help at all that, despite my best efforts, I couldn't get Tony Stark out of my mind.  I wanted him more than I'd ever wanted anything in my life.  He was brilliant, smart, funny and so fucking sexy, it made my balls ache.  Maybe I was punishing myself.  I didn't deserve someone like that.
And he had Pepper.  
But then Pepper died giving birth to Morgan, their daughter.  Tony remained strong for her but I could see the pain inside his eyes.  I wanted to comfort him but I knew he'd never accept that from me. 
My self-control is for shit and I started intentionally putting myself where I knew he'd be.  I started small, lingering in the common room, sitting close to him in briefings.  But as time went on I found myself getting closer and closer.
I could see anger simmering just below the surface whenever he was forced to spend time in my presence.  But I pushed harder and harder, got in his personal space until finally, Tony erupted.
"Is this what you want?" he'd growled, one hand on my throat, the other on my dick, squeezing just on the wrong side of too hard.  He'd pushed me against the wall, his expression so cold and broken.
Tony knew I could stop him, that without his suit, I could crush him like a paper cup.  But he wasn't afraid.  For the first time, he looked me in the eye.
I'd nodded, afraid to speak, afraid that anything I said might stop whatever was about to happen.  But if there was something Tony loved to do it was talk.
"What are you looking for, Barnes?" he asked, squeezing a little harder.
I moaned and closed my eyes but Tony wasn't having that.
"Did I say you could look away?" he growled.  I opened my eyes to find tears in his and I whimpered.
"I can't bring 'em back, Tony," I said.  "But I can see how havin' me here is hurting you. I don't wanna cause you any more pain. So...use me. Take out your pain on me. All of it. Punish me."
Tony abruptly let go.  He stepped back and wrung his hands, frowned out the window before turning back to me.
"I know that it wasn't you," he hissed.  "I know that now."
I shook my head and stepped closer to him, getting in his space again.  "Doesn't change the way you feel, Tony. You don't talk to me, you can't even be in the same room with me alone for five seconds before you leave."
Tony scowled and put his hand on my chest, to push me away, to pull me closer. I couldn't tell and I'm not sure he was certain either.
"Punish me, Tony," I said, pressing into his body.  "Let me pay for my sins."
Tony pushed me back, glared at me for a heart wrenching moment before pulling back his arm.  He backhanded me across the face then recoiled, frowning at his hand and then back at me.
Tony swallowed, cleared his throat.
“Go to your room," he snarled, voice low and raspy, hands in fists at his sides.  "Get undressed. I'll be there when I'm ready."
I pressed a hand to my heated cheek and nodded.  Gulping breaths, I turned toward the door, excited, terrified and hopeful. 
Tony knocked on my door a half-hour later with a large box and a blank expression.  Shaking, I got to my knees in supplication.
"You're sure?" he asked.
I nodded and watched as he opened the box.  He removed a metal object, held it up to show me, then motioned for me to stand.  
"No coming," he commanded.  I watched in silence as he fixed a metal cage around my flaccid cock.
"You've agreed to let me use you. But I'm not cruel. What's your safe word?"
I blinked, drew a blank for a moment and then said, "Steve."
Tony's lips twisted into a wry smile, a little flash of the Tony everyone else got to see.
"Yeah, he kills my mood too," Tony said.  But then his expression flattened.  "Now… get on your knees."  Tony pulled his dick out of his pants.  "And suck this cock."
~~~~~~~~~~
I startled from my reverie when the bathroom door opened.  Tony moved around the room, collected his things.  I shivered in the silence, wrapped my arms around my waist and waited for him to leave.
He touched my back.  I jumped and I rolled over, scrambled away. 
"Will you allow me to remove the cage?" he asked softly.
"The… oh," I croaked, voice like jagged rocks.
I nodded and rolled over, biting back a whimper when my back touched the sheet.  I looked away as he worked in silence.  It seemed to take forever.  As soon as the cage popped open, my traitorous dick filled and hardened.  I pulled the sheet into my lap and suppressed a groan.
"Here," Tony said, slipping his hand behind my head to help me up.  "Drink this. There you go. Slow."
I sipped, smacking my chapped lips on the cool water as he slowly tipped the cup.  When I had a few good swallows, Tony allowed me to lie back and put the cup on the bedside table.
Please just go. I don’t deserve your mercy.
But Tony didn't go.  He stood up and pulled back the sheet, removing the thin barrier I had managed to erect between us.
"Come on, Champ," he said.  I winced at the way the nickname made me feel - like I had earned something.  Tears burned my eyes and I shook my head.
I don't deserve this.
"No, I'm still running this show. And you need to use the bathroom. Come on."
I groaned and tried to get to my feet.  I stumbled but Tony was at my side.  
“Hey, whoa, I got you.” Tony said as he slid his arm around me.  “Let me help you.”
“I can do it.”
“I can see that. So walk with me. I'm an old man and I'm a little tired from all that...exertion.”
My cheeks flamed with embarrassment as he walked me to the bathroom.  I wanted to sit, sag against the wall alone and in peace.  But he refused to leave.  So I lifted the lid and relieved myself, a death grip on the wall.
I jumped when the water in the shower started.
“Stark - “
"You’ll feel better,” Tony said flatly and then came back to walk me into the shower.  He had laid a towel on the bench seat and set the spray to a soft mist.  I sat down, biting back a wince of pain when my ass made contact with the seat.
“The uh, the towel’s here,” he said and finally left the room, closing the door behind him.
Numb, I went through the motions of cleaning up and then sat down again, unsure of what to do next.  Tony had finally gone, left me alone.  And now the only thing I wanted was for him to come back, to hold me, tell me that he'd forgiven me.
You don't deserve his forgiveness, Barnes. You fucking murdered his parents. And you think letting him fuck you, letting him hurt you is gonna make him forget that? 
I groaned and got to my feet.  Tony was right. I felt better, less stiff and achy.  But all the hot showers in the world couldn't wash away the blood on my hands.
It's time you accept that, Barnes.
I toweled off and stared at the door, not quite ready to face the empty room beyond.  But I was so tired.  And only the oblivion of sleep could help me now.
With a sigh, I opened the door and frowned.  The lights were dim, the soiled sheets were gone and the bed remade, only rumpled by a lump the size and shape of a human.
Shaking, I crawled into bed and rolled onto my side, metal arm tucked around my belly, facing away and as far from Tony as I could.
Maybe he doesn't want to get caught doing the walk of shame away from my room. 
I waited for him to get up and leave.  Instead, he scooted closer and curled around my tender back.  With a trembling hand, he stroked the sensitive skin at my hip.
"Tony-"
"Shh. Just...let me."
Tony pulled me closer and onto my stomach.  I blinked back tears as he caressed my skin with calloused fingers, so gentle now, so different from before.  He didn’t avoid the bruises or pretend they didn’t exist.  He pressed into them as he rubbed some sort of cream into my muscles.  Tony found every patch of broken skin, applied ointment and, in a few places, bandages.
I jumped when he touched my prosthetic and he snatched his hand away for just a second before touching it again.  He'd never done that before.  In fact, he'd gone out of his way to avoid it.
"You can feel that?" he asked, voice cracking.
"Yeah. The uh.. the nerves are somehow connected. I'm not gonna pretend to understand how."
"It really is a marvel," he whispered, almost to himself, and then caressed down my arm.  He twined his flesh fingers with my metal and I turned my head so he couldn't see my tears.  People didn't touch me there and to have him be so gentle was almost too much to bear.
"You didn't safe word," he said.
"Wha?"
"Your safe word. You never used it. Why?"
His tone was so carefully conversational.
"I don't know...I…"
"Tell me the truth, James," he said, almost pleading.
James. Not Bucky...not Barnes.
"I didn't think I deserved to."
Tony heaved a breath.  "Can you look at me?"
"No."
"Why not?"
I shrugged.  "Why would you want me to, Tony? Why are you even here?"
"Because I have a duty of aftercare. Because I used you. And you let me...you let me..."
He traced a welt on my back, reminding me of everything I let him do.
I shivered, whimpered when he pressed harder.
"Do you want me to go?" he asked finally.
Do I? 
"No."
"Do you want me to stay?"
I nodded.
"No. Sorry, not good enough, James. I need you to turn around and tell me that."
I turned over.  Tony's expression was unreadable.
"I want you to stay."
Tony heaved a breath.  He nodded and for the first time, his lips turned up into a sad smile.
"Let me?"  Tony asked this time, fingers poised to pull back the sheet.  He looked into my eyes, his gaze now warm with desire.
I nodded, already hardening.

Till the end of the line - Chapter eleven
Tony
Pain. Throbbing, pulsing pain all over his body. He tried opening his eyes but they seemed to be glued shut. At least he was laying on a comfortable surface. Probably a hospital bed. He groaned softly and moved his head to rest on the warmth on his right.
“How is he?” He knew that voice from somewhere… Was that cap?
“I think he’s waking up, he’s been stable for the last few hours. That serum they gave him is like a miracle juice.” He knew that voice too, but it wasn’t as easy to identify. Could it be Barnes? Not likely, Barnes wouldn’t dare come that close to him. Would he?
“EXTREMIS. Yeah it is. From what I’ve heard it used to be quite explosive and dangerous. Until Tony improved the formula.”
“Excuse me, what?”
Yeah he was fairly sure that was Barnes. He sounded a little agitated too.
“It’s not dangerous anymore, Buck. Tony fixed it.”
And that definitely was Cap, alright.
“You sure about that?-”
“Course he is-” Tony croaked out, coughing due to his throat feeling bone dry. “I redesigned it.”
“And that automatically means it’s safe?”
He managed to open one eye to glare at Barnes. “You doubting my intellect, Barnes?” Tony frowned and glanced around. Wait a second, what the fuck was Barnes doing in his hospital bed. “Water, please.”
He heard Steve scuffle around and soon enough a straw was offered to him. He sipped from it carefully and sighed in relief as the water re-hydrated his throat.
“What? No. I’m just worried, Tony.”
“Okay. New rule, you, plural, don’t get to call me Tony until you earned it. You will call me Anthony or Stark. Two, get the fuck out of my bed, Barnes. Three, never insult my intellect again.”
Steve spoke up. “Tony I doubt-”
“Shut up, cap.” Tony bit back.
“Hey.” Barnes gently patted the back of his hand as if the man was scolding a goddamn child. What a fucking nerve!
“One, We will call you Anthony or Tony and we will prove to you we can be trusted. Two, you practically pulled me in. Three, I wasn’t insulting you, Tony. I’m worried you’re going to get hurt again. So stop acting like a child and let’s talk about this.”
This absolutely wouldn’t do. The universe was trying to screw him over. That’s what this was. That’s why Barnes and Rogers were his soul mates. There was no other explanation. Stupid Alpha, actually making sense…
“Fine you wanna talk, let’s talk.” Tony snapped, his throat felt scratchy once more and he started coughing profusely.
“Easy, Tony.” Steve started rubbing his back and held the glass of water steady for him.
Fuck he hated this. He didn’t want to feel this dependent on these two Alphas. But his Omega was reveling in their attention. Little fucker was really enjoying their touch and presence and Tony hated that. He didn’t try to fight it though. If you can’t beat ‘em, join them. Right? He didn’t have the energy to fight the Alphas right now.
When his body was finally done coughing Steve guided the straw back to his lips and he obediently drank from it again, letting himself relax against Barnes. He wasn’t enjoying this, just for the record. He was very much against all of this.
“Why don’t you start from the beginning?” Barnes suggested softly.
“You mean the night you killed my mother?” That was a very low blow and he knew it. But dammit the man had to pay for that. Brainwashed or not.
“Tony!” Cap sounded appropriately scandalized at least.
Barnes sighed. “No he’s right.”
Woah, wait a second, what? Did he just hear that right?
“I can’t bring her back, Tony. I can only say how incredibly sorry I am that I did that to you… I’m so sorry Tony. If I could undo what I’ve done, I would…”
Fuck, now he felt like a dick. Shit. This wasn’t supposed to happen, he wasn’t ready to accept this, not really. “I’m sure you would.”
Barnes actually looked away for a second and he could see a lonely tear roll down the assassin’s cheek.
“Buck?” Steve carefully reached out to the other Alpha.
“I’m fine, Stevie.”
He really wasn’t. That much was obvious. Goddammit.
“You want to hear about the twins?” He didn’t really want to start on what had happened in the VAULT.
He shivered a little, his left side actually started feeling a little chilly. Steve seemed to notice though and set the glass of water aside for now. The Alpha walked around the bed and sat down on Tony’s left side. “Mind if I join in?”
“Get the hell in here, I’m cold.”
It actually drew a chuckle from Barnes. “Guess that answers that question?”
Steve chuckled as well and kicked off his shoes, climbing in to carefully snuggle up against the Omega. Tony hummed in content, he was warm on all sides and the heat soothed his painful body. Not to mention that it was quite… interesting to be sandwiched in between two super soldiers.
“Anyway, twins.” Tony cleared his throat. “I first found out about them when I was thirty two…”
*
June 5th, 2002
“I’m sorry, mister Stark.” The doctor looked at him with great sympathy, but it barely registered in Tony’s mind. Pregnant? At thirty two years old that was no small feat…
“No, no I can’t be pregnant.” Tony muttered, shaking his head as he got up and paced through the small office.
“Tony, darling, please sit down.” Aunt Peggy gently tried to guide him back to his seat.
“No, goddammit! No! I’m not pregnant! You’re a fraud! I can’t be pregnant!”
“Tony, calm down. This isn’t good for the baby.”
“I’m not fucking pregnant!” He screamed, he could feel a vein on his forehead throbbing as anger and denial coursed through him. He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and he doubled over in distress, clutching his stomach. It was the first time he felt fear for anything but himself. What if he was pregnant and he was losing the baby due to his stubborn nature… He couldn’t live with that.
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely positive, mister Stark…”
*
Tony
The Omega chuckled. “That’s how I found out. Aunt Peggy wouldn’t stop fussing over me for days.”
“Did she knew them?” Steve asked softly.
“Aunt Peg?”
He felt Steve nod against his back.
“Yeah, she knew them.” He smiled sadly, “They’ve called her Nana all their lives. All of the kids. She was there when Oliver, Thea and Yalina were born. She was even there when I picked up Harvey and Laura from their foster family. Even though Uncle Dan died not hours earlier.”
He felt Barnes exhale softly before his gentle breathing resumed. “What were they like? Oliver, Thea and Yalina, you know, when they were little.”
Tony felt a flutter of warmth travel through him, though he pushed it down quickly. He was just doing this to stay warm, they weren’t bonding. Nope, no such thing. Yet he couldn’t help but smile gently.
“Oliver was so quiet, he didn’t cry when he was born. Not a single sound escaped him. Freaked everybody out with his silence. And then Maria, who screamed her head off until she was right next to her brother again. The two of them have always been inseparable. Oliver’s an artist, loves to draw, Thea doesn’t have the patience but she loves to be active. I could barely keep up with her when she was a toddler. Oliver, he was easy, I’d give him crayons and some paper and he’d be occupied for hours. But Thea?”
He chuckled.
“She made me run around the mansion and tower so many freaking times I’ve never had to visit a gym in almost fourteen years.”
Steve laughed at that. “That sounds just like you, Buck.”
“You kidding me, punk? You were more trouble than I ever was.” James grinned. “You know, I’ve been wondering. The story Rhodes told us, that you were kidnapped and inseminated… is all of that-?”
He sighed and nodded. He’d have a stern word with Rhodey after all this, but he couldn’t really blame his best friend either. Tony understood why Rhodey had broken his promise.
“As fucked up as it is, yeah, it’s all true. I was captured, released, found out I was pregnant, carried them, gave birth. Been raising them all this time. But it’s true, I was captured and inseminated… and now I know it was Ross who ordered it all.”
Both Steve and James froze up at those words. “What?”
He swallowed heavily and nodded. “Yeah, Ross told me he sanctioned the procedure. Damn bastard had it all planned out. I believe he called the twins, perfect little weapons of mass destruction. Thank god he never got to use them as such.”
“They’re not.” Steve muttered. “They never were.”
James nodded. “Steve’s right. They’ve never been weapons. You kept them from becoming that, Tony.”
It was more praise than he felt he deserved. He just raised his kids the way he thought was right.
“You want to hear about Yalina?”
James smiled a very gentle smile, which was a little weird. Did, did he feel parental over his little girl? Nah, that couldn’t be right. Alphas hardly ever felt parental over a child that wasn’t theirs. He doubted James Buchanan Barnes was any different.
“Yeah, tell us all about her.”
“It was three months before I became Iron Man. I was going through the desert of Afghanistan in a convoy, just made a major weapons deal. Next thing I know we’re attacked and I’m forced to leave cover. I hide behind this rock, try to use my phone. Then a grenade with literally my name on it lands next to me and goes off. There’s shrapnel all in my chest, I’m miles away from medical facilities and I think… this is it. I’m dying. Next thing I know I wake up in a cave with a car battery hooked up to a magnet in my chest. The Alpha doctor who saved my life is there too, he keeps me alive during the next few weeks and then one day my heat starts…”
He let those words sink in for a minute before continuing.
“I didn’t want to be raped by the Ten Rings leaders, not by terrorists… So I beg the doctor to help me through my heat. After a little while he agrees, Yinsen and I lay together and the next morning my heat’s already disappearing. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out I was pregnant. I became Iron Man while carrying his baby, after he gave his life just so I could escape Afghanistan. So in order to honor him, I named my baby Yalina. After Yinsen’s sister.”
“Jesus, Tony…” Steve wrapped his arms around him and cuddled closer, basically pressing him into James.
“I’m sorry..” James whispered, running his hand through Tony’s hair.
“I’m not. He gave me Lina, I can’t think of a better gift. I just wish I could’ve protected her brother…” A sob escaped him, causing the Alphas to cuddle closer, wrapping him in their warmth.
“Ross executed him because I refused to give up the twins’ location. In the end it didn’t matter, he still found them. Ahmed died for nothing, Yinsen’s oldest pup died for nothing.” He cried into James’s chest.
“You’re wrong.” James gently lifted Tony’s chin up. “He died protecting his sister. He died for what he believed in. Ahmed’s a hero, and he will be remembered as such. If this Yinsen is as noble as you say he was, he would’ve been proud of his son and of you. The two of you protected his little girl.”
“Buck’s right. Yinsen would’ve understood.”
He wiped away his tears and sniffled a little. He didn’t want to tell them any of these things but the words just kept coming. He shouldn’t feel this safe or comfortable around them, he shouldn’t feel any of this but he did. He did and he hated it.
A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts and the three of them looked up to see Coulson in the doorway.
“It’s time.”

Prompts
Send me a prompt xx
I did my patriotic duty
Remember that time when we turned a can of Axe into a flame thrower?
I woke up next to a veteran this morning
So I had a dream last night that involved you
And I didn’t hate it
If anyone could figure out how to pee on someone’s soul, it would be you
Thank you for extending my knowledge on the effects of vodka
You always know what to say to make me feel better
Speak of what happened and I will kill you
I’m not above blackmail
I found them in the bathroom trying to wrap an American flag around Steve
It’s really sad I had to specify this but…
I didn’t ask questions
Why can’t I come over and snuggle?
I am taking my rightful place as ruler of the undead appearance wise
You’re doing that ‘overestimating how much I care’ thing again
Good lord you suck at this wake up call
Son of a bitch took my liquid eyeliner
If I can, after drinking enough vodka to knock out a Russian soldier, muster up enough motivation to call you the next morning the least you can do is pick up and listen.
I’m like Cupid
The fact you thought licking it would fix it boggles my mind.
I don’t understand it.
You’re a whore with a bow and arrow
It worked
Not the point here, guys
Woke up with chlamydia and a bruised rib
Don’t call the police the police about the strange man passed out in his car.
I’ll collect him later
I love you
Sorry I punched you in the throat. You got in my way. You understand.
It’s like autocorrect knew you weren’t well endowed
Let’s play a game called ‘Chill the hell out’. You’re the first contestant
I am NOT getting arrested in a wig!
I think I’m at that stage in my life where I subconsciously purposefully mess everything up just to see if I can find a way out of it.
That doesn’t involve shooting people. Or stabbing them.
I don’t understand how I managed to fuck up so much in an hour and a half
I cried for thirty minutes at the bar before the bartender helped me and gave me free drinks for the rest of the night
I’m confused why you asked me to buy you a life alert at 3:28 this morning
Have a merry Christmas
I’ve been here twenty minutes and a sweaty half naked man has kissed me
What happened?
I thought I told you to wait.
And apparently I tried to pay for a drink with a tampon
I think I fucked up my elbow when I tried to fight off the paramedics
.Shut up
I wear heals bigger than your dick
Are you sighing and judging me through the phone right now?
SINCE WHEN IS USING A FROZEN WATER BOTTLE ATTACHED TO A ROPE AS A THROWING WEAPON A GOOD IDEA!?
I felt like I didn’t get that across well enough
Is it a bad thing that I’ve made out with everyone I work with?
… well anything sounds bad if you say it like that
Her voice kills me.
Are you just sitting in your room drinking popsicle vodka?
It’s the perfect pitch to fuck with my hangover
Fries before guys, foods before dudes, shakes before dates, chips before dicks, lemon bars before football stars, macaroni before screwing’ Tony.
What I’m trying to say I’d can we just have a girls night?
Wanna tell me why vodka seeped out of my mattress when I got into my bed?
How do we have all these hot friends we never do body shots off of?
Not really
Babe
Can we just?
makes grabby hands
What the fuck?
What happened?
I think it is a scientific achievement that I can make jelly that is 95% vodka so suck it up.
I don’t know if you’re aware of this but…
Wow. Damn. Okay.
We’re plotting your demise
We could have the the best hate sex… ever
I’m bonding with your girlfriend
But he’s like a baby bird with his wing broken that I want to FUCK
They pay me to be heterosexual or helpful. I’m going to need a hell of a raise to be both.
I think I pulled a muscle in my tongue
You’ve never felt ridiculous until you’ve walked through downtown in a Viking costume
So you threw a knife at me last night
I honestly wish I could say I was surprised
Well since you’re literally falling for me, it’s hard to say no.
Oh, wait, let me get some popcorn
When he pulled his dick out I told him he brought a knife to a sword fight
I am so sorry
Watching you make your own decisions should be quite the shitshow
I’m about two and a half drinks away from being gay
I’m coming over
Don’t let go
You’re everything I’ve wanted in a friend
You have questionable morals
Do I look like a person who has full control of their limbs on this plane of reality?
You drink too much
If you don’t want me in your apartment you should get better locks
I just felt emotion and I am not okay with it
My move of emasculating men with my superior intellect isn’t as charming when they can’t see my huge rack.
Why do I feel like I really don’t want to know the end of this?
Go big or go home, am I right?
You’ll never guess whose blood is on my shirt
It was just a casual affair
My apologies
I’ll try not to let my dick interfere with official work duties in the future
That’s what you get for having butt ass naked roof top sex at night in the middle of December
Worth it
Fuck you!
I’m the Pilot!
Please and thank you
Just come back with most of you limbs… and that mouth of yours
I hate it when she philosophises on my counter drunkenly
He has the ass of a Greek god, honey
He made me break fast
Not even sober to I understand Latin
Drunk is not a location
I waxed the left side of it and was in too much pain to do to right side so now my crotch looks like Cruella Devil
We kind of broke a table while making out
I hate cats
So yes, I’d say it was successful
Pants are for mortals
People like you and me aren’t meant to go for this long without sex
Well, personally I like to keep my blackmail in organised folders
You forgot the part where I played slip and slide in my own puke and messed up my knee
I was trying to save face
He just got home drunk
My apartment looks like the apocalypse of sobriety
It may be a clusterfuck, but I’ll be looking classy as shit as I watch the nightmare unfold
Why do I like him?
He literally has no redeeming qualities
Drunk me is basically the Oprah of nudes
I’m going to have a badass scar
Yo! Human Dorito, get your ass out here!
We all know that badassery is carried of the xx chromosome
90% threatening to punch him in the dick and 10% actually punching him in the dick.
This is like the walk of shame down memory lane
FYI, At my funeral it’s your job to dramatically throw yourself on my casket
Text me if you’re not dead and wanna have a drink later
I’m confused
I’m constantly crying
Do you know anyone else who comes home with as many unexplainable injuries as we do every night?
You keep asking me questions like I have a magic thing called a memory
I want to kill someone right now but at the same time I just really need cuddles
How do you get the 'hangs out with drunk assholes’ insurance?
I’m still trying to decide whether it’s a compliment or not
It’s the never ending clusterfuck that is my love life
I can say with absolute certainty the only time we’ve had a civil conversation was when we both liked pizza
I’d like to subscribe to your Daddy issues
I’m like, not good at living
I did tell you I spoke over 30 languages
I’m sorry I couldn’t bail you out, apparently they don’t take credit cards over the phone.
Listen, I will certainly take anything I can get my little gay fingers on
I don’t know where I am
I make bad decisions on probably a regular basis
I think this guy is dead
We make up for it in dry humour
What fucking idiot decided to make an entire stupid state where you can’t take a damn right turn. Fuck New Jersey
She is so graceful and swan like
Just calling to say thank you for not dying
I’m still not sure how to feel about the fact that we had a threesome with a guy older than my grandpa
It’s what god put me on earth for
Sorry I wasn’t really responsible earlier. I was really high on adrenaline and very into that car chase
EVERYBODY CALM YOUR SHIT!
I am pretty great at coffee and mistakes
How did I get here?
It’s my life mission
It took too long for people to come up with things for 'Never have I ever’ so we changed it to 'Don’t judge me but…’
You ever feel like an organ is just failing you?
If you with any of them tell them I apologise for (insert whatever I did wrong here)
All you did was repeatedly scream 'GET IT IN’
Hold on I’ll be right there; I can’t find my arm
Just because I’m a woman and I’m cranky and irritable right now does not mean I’m on my period.
Babe? It’s shark week.
People are talking politics and I have had 9 mimosas
Did you at least make friends in jail?
Help me?
You just can’t follow orders, can you?
What the hell is Code C?
Between the Marvin Gaye and the candlelit dinner, I’d say you’re trying to woo me baby
What made it obvious?
Hell no! I went out this morning to buy those so you better put them right back down
You’re interrupting date night!
you predictable little shit
You can pay me back in chocolate and cuddles
Will you marry me?
I love you and that scares me.
When I told you to tell the cops, I meant federal agents not the local PD, idiot
Why did you run out the room when I arrived?
I feel like I should know you and I’m really sorry that I don’t
I really really like you
I hate you too. The feeling is mutual.
Happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas
I told you not to get into trouble.
I would tell you it’s a pleasure to see you again but I’d be lying
All I ask is….
Boo! I scared you! I didn’t scare you did I?
I knew you
What did I tell you about touching stuff?
I trusted you
I asked you to stay safe for one mission. For one bloody mission and now look at you.
We should get awards just for turning up when disaster strikes
We haven’t been getting paid for years yet we have potentially the most dangerous job on the planet.
We are so bloody stupid
I need a doctor.
Avengers Assemble. Team bonding session is mandatory. Everybody meet in the common room
You’re such a dork
Do you have any idea how many people are dead because I wasn’t clever enough, wasn’t quick enough, wasn’t strong enough, wasn’t good enough?

Blast to the Past Part 2: The Future?
Danny desperately just wanted one normal day. But apparently, the Universe or Clockwork, or whoever, he didn’t care anymore, decided that that was too much for the young halfa.
This whole week had been complete crap. Sunday, there was a small army of Hydra robots (created by Hydra, naturally) that decided they were going to do a WWII reenactment and try taking over France. Danny had teamed up with the Avengers for that.
Monday there was a new ghost who had some sort of vendetta against Skulker. He protected the animals, land, sea, and air, and ghost, and Skulker was being a dick about it. He had to fly all the way to the outskirts of Wakanda to take them both down (Even though he kind of  agreed with the animal lover), and sent them back to their own layers. Then he had been captured by the Wakandan patrol and Tony had to come and vouch for him to be let go, that he was just helping.
Tuesday he saw Tucker and Clint fall from the ceiling in the kitchen while Danny had been half asleep and eating a bowl of cereal. They had landed on the other side of the table, making it break and flip up, knocking Danny’s food into his face.
Wednesday was normal, thank goodness. But that was weird because that never happens. It was so unproductive it was unsettling.
But now it was Thursday, and he was with the Avengers again, kicking ass against Hydra (again), but this time it was in DC, where they were trying to take down the Washington Monument. However, during that battle, whether it was during the takedown or right after, Danny wasn’t quite sure, but when he high-fived Captain America, he high-fived the wrong one.
He just wanted one normal fucking day. The worst part was he didn’t even notice until they had gotten back to the others and the present-day Cap had been picking himself up from the debris, shaking off the dust and pain. He stretched and kind of chuckled at Clint when he tripped over his own feet and fell into the reflecting pool. But Danny’s grin had escaped him.
The past Steve and Bucky walked around, bewildered at the sight of a giant robot more so than at their future selves.
“Danny? Where are we?” Bucky asked, concerned when he took notice of the second Steve. He was dirty and rugged, and his shirt had holes in it, and Danny noticed the way his hands gripped his rifle a little closer to him.
“Uh...” Danny said, at a loss for words.
“Danny, you’re bleeding!” Ant-Man rushed forward and started checking the gash on Danny’s head, nearly tackling him to the ground. “Hey, Cap, do you have any bandages?”
“Yeah, here you go,” Future Steve said, leaning over and handing him some from his belt. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes glued onto his past self and past Bucky.
“Steve, is this the Twilight Zone?” Future Bucky hissed into his Steve’s ear when he walked up to see what was wrong.
“Steve, Bucky,” Danny said, swatting Scott away and turning toward the present day pair, “this is Steve and Bucky. From the forties.”
“What year is this?” Past-Bucky asked.
“It’s 2017,” the other Bucky replied.
“This is going to get really confusing,” Scott mumbled.
“Yeah,” Danny said with a groan, “no kidding.”
---------
Back at the Tower, Steve and Bucky talked with their past selves. To avoid confusion, they called them Steven and James, which was really weird, because now that he thought of it, he had never heard their full names until now. Danny was making a meal fit for an Asgardian. After all, he’s got four super soldiers and himself to feed. That’s enough for Thor to get seconds.
“So, how did you guys end up here?” Danny asked James and Steven. He put the lid on the pot of noodles, letting it stir itself, and turned to face them. He noticed that they were fresh and clean, free from the months of dirt that had caked over them. Their clothes were gonna be washed and repaired, but until then Steven had borrowed from Steve, and James had borrowed from Danny because Bucky’s clothes were to big for him. It was weird seeing the before and after stages of Hydra manipulation sitting side by side and having a detailed conversation about Star Wars. Seeing both Steves, though, the only things that were different were the the hair and the eyes. They had the same shade of baby blues, but damn, it was like they spoke two different languages.
“We don’t really know,” Steven answered. He sat straight up with his hands in his lap. “Bucky sounded like he was in trouble so I came to help. Then there was this bright light and we were thrown into the reflection pool. Everything is all kind of fuzzy.”
“There was this Dracula dude,” James chipped in. “I never thought I’d meet an actual vampire.”
Danny stiffened and shared a look with Steve.
“What did this...Vampire look like?” Steve asked. Danny was a little to angry to form polite questions at the moment.
“He was blue, had a white cape, looked kind of fancy. I think he was glowing or something?” Bucky offered.
“Vlad,” Danny spit. He turned back around and took the lid off the pot, checking the noodles before he put them in a strainer and added some sauce. He gave four heaping bowls of the stuff to the soldiers, and a slightly smaller one for himself, along with some expensive bread Stark imported from Italy.
“You know him?” Steven guessed. Steve gave his past self a look that said drop it but Danny decided to answer anyway.
“He was an old friend of my parents. They worked together in college on ghost stuff,” he started. “He’s a halfa too. The first, actually. He used his powers to get rich and famous. He always hated my dad for the accident that turned Vlad into a halfa. He ended up in the hospital and my parents fell in love. Vlad had a major crush on her.
Then their college reunion came around. I was fourteen at the time, it was just a few months after I got my powers. one thing led to another, we found out each others secrets and became like, mortal enemies or whatever. A couple years back he screwed me over so now I live here.”
Steven and James knew by the tone of the boy’s voice that they weren’t supposed to ask how this guy screwed him over. But there was still one question itching at the back of their heads.
“Why did Vlad bring them here then, Danny?” Bucky asked. Danny shrugged and slurped his noodles.
“Don’t know,” he said with a mouth full of food. “Not good though. He should know not to mess with time like this, he learned that lesson along time ago. With you two here they never stop Hydra and win the war,” Danny guessed. “So maybe we go to Hydra and figure out what the hell is going on.”
“It’s too dangerous,” Steve countered, setting his food down.
“Look, I know. But if Vlad is in trouble we gotta help him. With his kind of power in Hydra’s hands the rest of the world won’t stand a chance. We gotta hit em hard and fast.”
“We can help,” Steven suggested.
“No, you guys have to go to the portal and get back to your own time,” Bucky said.
“The portal was fried by Technus last week, remember?” Danny said. “I was going to fix it this week but I haven’t had the chance. It’ll take me weeks to get to wires and re-circuit the whole thing.But if we help Vlad he might let us use his.”
“Then it’s a deal,” Bucky said. “We’re coming with.”
---------
Getting in to the compound and finding Vlad had been the easy part.
Getting him out was the part they were still trying to work out.
“Daniel? After what I’ve done I have to say-I’m a bit surprised to see you helping me,” Vlad said when Danny had put his arm around him, helping the older halfa walk. Danny remained silent.
The four soldiers had provided lots of cover, and there were a couple of close calls with Steven and James, but they managed okay enough. Especially with the upgraded guns Stark provided specifically for this mission. It was kind of fun seeing Nazis being killed.
But Vlad still kept talking.
“Why are you helping me Daniel? Have you had a change of heart? Maybe changed your mind about my proposal?”
Danny ignored him. Instead he focused his anger on the door in front of them, kicking it down with such force it splintered and flew almost ten feet away. His eyes were a blazing green.
He followed the Steves and Buckys out into the opening, just barely making it a safe distance away before the explosion they had set up went off. Danny let go of Vlad, and he fell to the ground in a heap. Danny pressed his boot down on Vlad’s chest, his anger seeping into every word.
“We are going to use your portal. You won’t mess with time or Hydra again. And if I ever see you again you won’t be just another halfa. Understand?” When Vlad hesitated Danny pressed down harder. He heard the beginning of a crack, but it was just a fracture he was making. Vlad coughed and nodded.
“Good,” Danny said. “Let’s go, guys.”

Once in the Zone, it was only a short flight to Clockwork’s, but he had to make the trip four times because he couldn’t carry all of them at once. When he was carrying James, his anger began to finally go away. He didn’t realize he started to cry, though, until James pointed it out. Danny didn’t say anything though. This was going to be saved for a session with Wilson.
When he went back to grab Bucky, the last of the four, his face was dry and monotone.
“If he ever shows his face again I’ll help you,” he said, squeezing Danny’s shoulder. He nodded, thankful for the offer.
“Yeah. Thanks,” he said. 
“Hello, Danny,” Clockwork said as he turned into a baby. “The portal you need is right over there. Would you care to stay for a game of chess?”
“And lose to the guy who knows the future?” Danny chuckled.”I think I’ll pass. But thanks anyway, Stopwatch.”
The goodbyes were weird and heartfelt, and despite being the same people, they weren’t. Not really. The future Steve and Bucky were so different from their past selves in so many ways tan just physical, and it was easy to tell. And even though he was going to see them for breakfast in the morning, he was going to miss them. Once they were gone, Steve and Bucky decided to go back tot he Tower, Danny promising to meet up with them later. He turned to Clockwork.
“I changed my mind on chess,” Danny said, letting his head hang down. Clockwork smiled and brought him into a side hug.
“I’ll make some tea.”

Sometimes he's in his own head, sometimes he isn't. He can't remember the mission. He can't remember what he was thinking at the museum. Everything comes in and out.> The Man on the Bridge wasn't right. Something about him was wrong.> He took a break to wreak havoc on his former masters, and when he returned, The Man on the Bridge was the way he was supposed to be:> smaller.[You Just Had To Make It Weird](http://archiveofourown.org/works/3956227) by [IamShadow21](http://archiveofourown.org/users/IamShadow21/pseuds/IamShadow21)> Steve and Sam are in the middle of nowhere, the absolute opposite of civilisation, just following a lead on Hydra and checking in to a cheap hotel and finding an awesome diner with great food and even better looking pie.> Then Bucky Barnes turns up and ruins everything.[I've Always Been Yours](http://archiveofourown.org/works/2780930) by [Taste_is_Sweet](http://archiveofourown.org/users/Taste_is_Sweet/pseuds/Taste_is_Sweet)> Bucky's in Steve's apartment when he comes home.> (*It warms him, though, to think of Bucky using his apartment, that he might feel comfortable there regardless of how he got in. It makes Steve happy to know that Bucky's been able to eat decent food and get clean, hopefully feel safe enough to sleep.

Ask me again."[wilted](http://archiveofourown.org/works/9228410) by [macabre](http://archiveofourown.org/users/macabre/pseuds/macabre)> The Winter Soldier’s new mission is to guard and protect. It’s a command that is not understood well; the asset has always been unleashed to kill, torture, kidnap. Not to guard anything. They don’t directly tell him what it is he’s guarding until they take him to it the next morning.> It is a man. A very small man. Delicate in a way that makes him uncomfortable because he knows how easily he could kill him, without trying, without looking. > AU: Steve is taken by HYDRA to be a guinea pig, and the Winter Soldier is assigned to guard him.[Safe From Harm](http://archiveofourown.org/works/805777) (rape/noncon) by [Odsbodkins](http://archiveofourown.org/users/Odsbodkins/pseuds/Odsbodkins)> After the supervillains have won, they auction off the Avengers. Even though the Winter Soldier does not have the money to bid, he knows that Captain America belongs to him.> Please heed the warnings: this fic features graphic depictions of violence and sexual assault, a physically and sexually abusive relationship, and mentions of suicide.[Hot as Blood, Cold as Steel](http://archiveofourown.org/works/1748276) by [marlowe_tops](http://archiveofourown.org/users/marlowe_tops/pseuds/marlowe_tops)> Conversations in an abandoned bunker. The asset isn't sure of many things, but he knows that the man from the helicarrier is valuable and needs to be protected. And until he gets some answers, he's not letting the man from the helicarrier out of his sight.> -> The subject lies back down, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. “My head’s pounding.” He lifts his hands, presses them to the bridge of his nose and sighs before placing them back over his belly. “So, what now?”> “Now I keep you,” the asset responds, the words escaping him involuntarily.> There’s a line between the subject’s brows as he looks over. “What’s that mean to you, Buck?”> “It means you belong to me.”[Blood](http://archiveofourown.org/works/7756915) by [leveragehunters](http://archiveofourown.org/users/Monkeygreen/pseuds/leveragehunters)> In a world where magic is as commonplace as electricity, HYDRA worships a god who craves order through death. They used His blood to create fierce Soldiers then enslaved them by chaining their souls.> The man who was James Barnes is the last Soldier, the rest having been put down after succumbing to the call of the Blood. One night, out of control after a mission, the increasingly unstable Soldier runs into Steve Rogers. Instead of being turned into a red smear on the ground, Steve successfully talks him down. HYDRA decides to keep him. The Soldier's the last one they've got; if Steve can keep him calm he's going to do it whether he likes it or not.> Like fractious racehorses have companion goats, they hand Steve off to the Soldier as a kind of pet. But studies have shown pets can ease depression, despair and loneliness, lead to an increased sense of safety and well-being, and provide a source of protection and unconditional love. HYDRA really should have reviewed the literature before they decided to give Steve to the Soldier. Especially since, once Steve Rogers is involved, protectiveness can get slightly out of hand.
