The Asset (Avengers) Moon/Lady

“...Am not.”Tony grumbled before shrugging, avoiding the other’s eyes. No one would ever convince him pepper wasn’t his fault, at least not yet.

Tony studied the closet in bemusement, realizing that everything had changed. This wasn’t the place he’d left, but as long as James was happy with it, it was okay. Startling a little he tilted his head to look at the other, a quiet hopeful look to the billionaire’s features. “You...you two weren’t...haven’t been?”Tony stuttered a little wanting so much to believe that this hadn’t been happening behind his back. Shuddering a little at the words he bit his lip, nodding a little. “I..I don’t know Jamie.He...he might not want to. Not like that.”he muttered staring down, resting his cheek against the other’s hair, sitting up and moving was hurting, but he didn’t want to leave the other man alone. Because no matter what the other said, he was so very sure he was going to be left out of this relationship. Having been hurt to much over the years to think that even if steve wanted a threesome, that it wouldn’t eventually become simply a twosome with the super soldiers and tony once again alone. But...he just wanted them to be happy. And if he got to be with them for awhile, well....he could do that to. “We’ll talk to him.”Tony sighed quietly, the sound coming out pained. “...Jamie?Can we move back to bed?Please?Then you can go get cap so we can talk...”he muttered now that they had a plan, he didn't want to put it off, not wanting to wait to see if he was going to be abandoned.
 
he looked confused. "not until my birthday." he admitted. "i'm not sure what happened, but it felt good." he admitted. "i think i had one of those... blackouts? where i remember too much all at the same time." he admitted. "and he was really, really drunk." he admitted. "like... i didn't even know he could drink enough to get that drunk." he admitted. "i was going to wait until i talked with you, because Clint said that's what your supposed to do. to avoid misunderstandings... what's a misunderstanding?" he asked, confused before he frowned. "why wouldn't he want to? he loves us. of course he wants to." he muttered, not understanding why someone wouldn't want to be with who they loved. "...i don't like the bed." James muttered even as he stood up and gently helped Tony to his feet and left the Closet. "i'll go find Boss." he promised as he gently tucked Tony into bed. "you rest. your hurt." he ordered, pausing. "i'll get food too. your hungry." yet it was Jamie's stomach that was growling. maybe he just assumed that when his stomach growled, Tony was hungry too? in James mind, that probably made sense.
 
“...Oh.I see.Well...then this was my fault, not your guys. I...I hadn’t thought things through. It just hurt....seeing you two.”he stuttered a little blushing and anxious before smiling. “He can. He just has to break out the good liquor and drink alot of it.”he muttered before sighing. “This...this thing between the three of us, and me freaking out? Was a misunderstanding. I fucked up, I’m sorry.”he muttered sounding so very guilty because not only because he had overreacted and freaked out, but because in doing so, he’d made james lose one of the people he cared for. Even if he was completely confused and lost on how to express the guilt over vladd’s death without hurting james, so he just stayed quiet. “I don’t know. But he might not.”Tony said before sighing as he was helped up. “I know you don’t, but I’m hurt and sitting on the floor hurts, Jamie.”he muttered explaining why he didn’t want to stay where he was, smiling quietly as he was tucked into bed, smiling almost sleepily as he looked up at the other, “Okay. I could eat.”Tony smiled because he knew it was james’ stomach that growled, but he also knew he should eat to. So....he smiled settling back into the bed to wait, trying not to freak out anxiously as he waited for the super soldiers to come back.
 
he blinked. "oh..." he tilted his head. "so you didn't leave because you where mad at me? you left because of a misunderstanding..." that seamed to appease him a great deal. Tony had left because he didn't understand, that was all. he had just thought that... well James wasn't sure but he'd thought wrong whatever he had thought. "there's a difference in liquor? how can liquor be bad? is it like, illegal?" he asked, confused. "okay Tony." he agreed. he didn't want Tony to be in pain after all. "you didn't fuck up Tony." James promised with a smile. "it's Hydra who fucked up. and now their paying for it. i gave this man, he only had one eye, Steve said he was safe. i gave him all of Hydra's safe-houses and he's gonna blow them all up for us." he admitted with a bright, vicious smile. "i'll make food." he agreed as he skipped off. glad that everything had been settled. well, for him everything had been settled. a few minutes a baffled looking Steve walked in. "...James threatened to cook my balls and make me eat them if i didn't shut up and 'sit my ass down with Tony and wait'.... he really needs to stop hanging around Clint."
 
“No, I wasn’t mad. Simply upset and hurt.”Tony promised pressing a kiss to messy hair, closing his eyes. Before laughing softly. “There’s lots of different alcohol. Just how you make it and the materials and...I’ll have to try and get you drunk now, just to see what you like best.”he snickered a little at the other’s confusion. Sighing as he settled in bed he nodded a little. “Fury. He’s one of the good guys.”He muttered trying to relax, looking bemused as he watched james leave. Tensing a little as steve walked into the room, swallowing thickly as he stared at the covers, snickering a little. “...He really is spending to much time with Clint.”he snickered quietly, biting his lip. “....You should have told me, Cap. I would....I would have stepped aside you know..”Tony muttered the hurt and pain coloring those words, hating that he hadn't been trusted enough with a secret that everyone else had known. even if he wanted to be with the other, he simply figured steve would accept a relationship with him now because james was with him, wouldn't leave him. not realizing that he was someone steve wanted as well. figuring steve thoguht it was a package deal, to have one you had to deal with the other....he really was a idiot sometimes.
 
he nodded. "i'm sorry i hurt you Tony. i love you." he admitted as he kissed the other gently. "oh... so it's like how some ammo is good, and how some ammo is bad." he decided, nodding. in his head, that somehow made sense. "Fury is a stupid name." he admitted.

Steve smiled weakly as he shook his head. "i couldn't Tony. you and him where Happy... what right did i have to break you two up? when you needed James so much, when he was so dependent on you... what gave me the right to try and get involved? yes i've loved you since you sacrificed yourself like the idiot you are. yes i loved James and always will, but that doesn't give me the right to ruin what happiness you both finally managed to find." he admitted. he covered his eyes wih his hands. "i'm so sorry i ruined everything... so sorry. i have no idea what i was thinking that night... there where so many memories and suddenly he was just there... please don't blame James for this... i can't... i can't move out again but i swear i won't get involved ever again." he promised. "you two deserve to be happy; you do. you need each other and your so good for each other. i can't ask you to give that up. not for me. not when it would leave you or Bucky alone... i can't..." Steve was so stupid. he wasn't an idiot, and yet he couldn't seam to understand that James wanted a threesome so they could all be happy.
 
Tony sighed quietly kissing him back, relaxing. “...Love you to.”He said softly, flinching at the admittance, because despite getting used to hearing it, he wasn’t used to saying it. “Yes. Exactly like that.”Tony snickered a little, amused that of course the sniper would choose a weapon metaphor.

“...I’m not a idiot.Best way to get rid of the nuke.”Tony muttered because this was a idiotic conversation they’d had many times over the last year they’d been a team, where tony took stupid idiotic chances, simply out of the need to prove that he was good enough, that he was a hero instead of the worthless man howard had always told him he was. Studying the other man he took a shaky breath, “Don’t want you to move out. Jamie’s come up with a solution to our problem...but I’ll let him tell you...I just....I had to know why you didn’t tell me.”Tony said quietly, pained. Because he had thought the other was his best friend, and friends talked. Not that he’d ever said anything about being attracted to steve either. “....I’m sorry...I just left. I should have stayed...but...”He shuddered a little. “it hurt, like...the puzzle pieces snapped together, and I realized what I’d been missing. That you’ve been in love with him longer then I’ve been alive...then I got to thinking overly much, over everything...thinking you two were together and just dind’t tell me...I...I’m fairly bad at this stuff you know.”he said weakly, closing his eyes, wishing james was there,, or maybe natasha she always made things make sense, because he so needed help figuring this out.
 
he got a beaming smile for saying again and a deeper kiss before he skipped off.

"...you where passively suicidal and out to prove yourself. it was stupid and i hated you for thinking your life was worthless." he stated simply. "you do that all the time... take stupid risks and chance your life and then get annoyed when i call you on it." he sounded both fond and exasperated. "...Tony, are you sure we should trust James' decisions? we already established he hangs out with Clint too much... and Clint's last bright idea was to cover the entire floor with flour to see if ghosts where real." he pointed out. "not the best role model ever..." he admitted, sounding amused before he blinked at Tony. "oh... Oh! you though... you thought we where. that i was.. that he was..." he paused. "...i can understand why you where thinking that." he admitted. "i'm sorry by the way, about being so... er... vile, before you left... it was a mix of P... something, Bruce named it and i can never remember the name... it was a bad soldier day." he admitted. "and...i've never... i'd never..." he sighed. "i've never celebrated Bucky's birthday, without Bucky." he admitted softly. "and i felt really bad about being fucking jealous that you got to have James, and that James got to have you that..." he shook his head. "i was a dick and i'm sorry." he admitted. "i think i'm better now." he admitted sheepishly. "good." James stated as he came in with a massive pile of food. enough for two starving super soldiers and a hungry scientist and then some. "so it's settled." James chirped happily, Steve blinking. "it is?" "yes." ".... maybe you could clue me in?" "Tony's job." Steve snorted. "definitely too much time with Clint."
 
“....Am not.And you tend to enjoy yelling at me...”Tony muttered because he really was horrible about taking risks. Swallowing hard be smiled a little. “Well, probably not. But this one’s a fairly good idea maybe...and well, he’s been thinking about it for awhile.”He muttered biting his lip, staring down. “I...yes. You were acting so weird for that whole week, and well...I’d just been cleared for sex...Assumed that since I couldn’t have sex, he’d been happy because he’d been with you....I know it’s stupid but...”He shrugged helplessly staring down flincing a little.”Sorry...I hadn’t considered...you wouldn’t be happy that I was celebrating his birthday...”he muttered before looking up, smiling a little as the other brought in food, starting to eat before looking at steve. “....he wants a threesome.”Tony spilled, sputtering a little at the idea that it was his job and he was so very awkward at the emotional things.
 
Steve smiled. "i do like yelling at you." he admitted. "it's about all the interaction i get from you sometimes." he admitted. "...Tony Your last great idea was painting the entire living room in Gold." he stated. "REAL gold... how did you even get that much gold?" he asked, sounding amused. "...i was having those memories." he explained. "of when... when Bucky fell. every time i'd look at you i'd see you dead and then i'd think about all the people i'd lost and then the gunfire would start...." he shook his head. "Bruce helped me. he's been studying Psychology you know." he admitted. "so he could help us... all of us i mean. the Avengers." he admitted. "he helped the memories go... back? away? i don't know." he admitted. "why would you have? you didn't know. i was trying so hard to avoid you both because it hurt to see you both so happy, and then i'd feel so filthy and disgusting and guilty that it made everything worse." he admitted before helping himself to the food before he promptly started to choke on his mouthful at Tony's blurt. "Th..Three..." Steve asked, looking stunned. "can we.. i mean is that... really?" he asked, looking stunned. "is that... you know... allowed?" "Coulson, Clint and TJ have one." "They..." Steve paused, blinking stupidly and then. "how the hell did i miss THAT?!"
 
“Hey, the gold looked amazing.And P-”Tony choked a little swallowing hard.”pepper said she’d wanted the change the color. And I’m rich, I can get anything.”He snickered a little before sighing, wincing. “Oh...I’m so sorry Cap...I know. He’s been making me talk to him to.”He sighed quietly, before swallowing hard. “They’re not gone, simply shoved away for now. I...I have those days to. When all I can remember is falling...or...dying...”He swallowed hard because it was hard for him to admit that his past still tore him apart, and even now, this was going to be even more so. For the moment he was calm, focusing on his boys, but he knew that the moment he relaxed, the memories were going to destroy him. “I know...but I feel like I should have. I mean, I knew you two were inseparable before....I just...never considered it was more then friends.”He sighed shaking a little, before nodding. “Y-yes. If you want. You don’t have to, but we want to try...I mean, you’re miserable, and it hurts us to see you like that...”Tony said quietly, swallowing hard as he watched Steve, before looking startled.”...How...you missed that?”He looked stunned before smiling slightly. “Not sure how yo umissed that, Cap, but... We want to try.”Tony said a quiet vulnerability to his words, that said he was half expecting Steve to leave in a huff, or demand that tony give up james. That he expected to be the one forced out of their relationship, even if they did try a threesome, he was so scared of failing to make it work, and losing them both.
 
Steve smiled a little and shook his head. "i liked her, you know... when she wasn't around you, she was a good woman, calm and caring and gentle." he admitted. "she used to make me think of Peggy... all stern but only because she cared about you... Peggy shot me, did you know? with a gun." he admitted. "Pepper and Peggy where so alike that i even had a bit of a crush on Pepper at first. when i first met her..." he admitted. "i think you noticed." he admitted, flushing a little. "i felt bad about it, but not too bad because i knew it was just a crush and it would die on it's own." he admitted. "...yeah." he whispered, reaching out hesitantly and taking Tony's hand. "i think we all have those days." he admitted. "i know Clint does. he wakes up screaming so loud the whole Tower wakes up sometimes. once, it took both TJ and Coulson to pin him down and Bruce had to drug him because he tried to kill Natasha." Steve admitted. "it was really frightening, that someone so calm and in control and childish could be like that."

"...well. what is it that people say? hindsight is twenty twenty?" Steve asked with a smile. "we both fucked up. me more than you." he admitted. "although, i can't decide if that night was my fault or James fault or just the result of both of us being too broken to understand it was wrong." he admitted with a sigh. "i don't really want to blame James. i get the feeling he doesn't really understand in the first place... and i'm totally blaming Clint for that too." he admitted before he stared at Tony and James, wide eyed with shock. "i... how would it work?" he asked, confused. "i mean... do i date you both, separately or do we do things together all three of us or...?" how cute, Steve's naivety was showing. "Typically." James stated. "we do things together and separately. that's what Coulson said. so that each person get's to know the other's better. Coulson said he's taken TJ out on three dates, just him and TJ so they get more comfortable. you and Tony should do that. go out on a date." "what about you?" "TJ and NAt will watch me. i'll be okay for a few hours." he promised as he licked his fingers. "okay.... how does... you know... sex work?" Steve asked, blushing hard and James looked wickedly amused.
 
"..I liked her to...I just ..don't understand how she could..."Tony sighed looking down and it was obvious he was still having problems with the idea that pepper was hydra and had no idea how to deal with that. A small sad smile quirking his lips at steve's words."I know.hearing that story was one of the few times howard ever laughed in my company...."he muttered before nodding."I think we all do...it's a good thing we have so many super powered people here otherwise we'd be in trouble when we attack each other."he smiled a little.

"..yea that's what they say...and you both snapped at the same time...I'm fairly certain it would have happened anyways...it just happened then."tony shrugged nervous and worried because he did want this to work even if he wasn't sure how it would.looking up at james he smiled pleased at the other's presence, simply liking them both there."yea he really didn't understand...and I'm going to have words with Clint over it.really."Tony muttered 50 going james close so he could steal a kiss before starting to eat."you're so cute when you're clueless."Tony teased the blond before looking at james nervously.he did want to date steve, but wasn't comfortable leaving the other yet."..same way dating does. We do it all together, take turns, or...whatever really. Sex works in groups I assure you steve."Tony teased blushing looking at them anxiously though."gotta warn you two though...I'm not great at the dating thing even when it's just one person...I'm bound to fucked this up..like running away or something else...I'm just not good with emotions."Tony muttered sounding so sad over the fact that you just wanted to hug him.he so wanted to be better for them but he knew, even if pepper hadn't broken him the way she'd intended, she'd done damage and he had no idea if he could do this, be there for thrm.
 
he shook his head. "she was from the beginning." he whispered. "she was probably raised by them. trained how to act, how to be, when to eat, how to breath... she as tailor fitted to be everything you would love most... and make the Avengers love her too." he admitted softly. "Howard was a fucking ass." Steve admitted. "i hated his guts." he admitted with a chuckle. "but he saved my ass more than one so i find it hard to talk badly about him." he admitted. "yeah... although if i ever got like that, i don't know if anyone but Thor could contain me... maybe Hulk could." he admitted.

he nodded. "i'm sure." he admitted with a sigh. "i was fighting it so hard because i was so certain a man as amazing as you would never want me." he admitted with a scoffing sound. "i kept thinking that i'd lost James to the one person who could be actual competition to this..." he indicated his body. "i'm pretty sure Clint didn't know that James was planning what he was planning." Steve admitted, looking amused. "and even if we did, didn't we all agree to always tell James the truth at all times?" he asked. "i can't help being raised in a sexually repressed Era tony." Steve complained with a roll of his eyes even if his lips where twitching, trying to repress a smile. "....we'll have an indoor date. i don't feel very comfortable with leaving the Tower right now." Steve admitted with a shake of his head. "yeah well... i'm not either..." Steve admitted. "have to have gone on a date before to be good at them after all." he admitted. "especially since all the rules are different now." he admitted, frowning. "Bruce is putting a tracking Chip in you, we don't have to worry about you running off again because we'll always be able to find you." James stated simply. "it was my idea." Steve snickered. "really? that's awesome James." Steve admitted with a laugh as he stood up and crawled into the bed next to Tony, pulling him into a hug. "i want to try anyway." Steve admitted softly. "i want to try, i'm sure there will be hiccups and mess ups and messes... but we can make it work if we just try."
 
"Mm that doesn't make me feel any better cap."tonyou muttered.because there for awhile, he really had loved her.it left the billionaire at a loss on how to work, and if he should be trusting his own instincs...but even if he couldn't trust himself.he trusted cap."don't worry I talk badly about him more then enough for both of us."which was true. When tony did bring him up, which was rare, it was even rarer it was for something good

"....you'really a idiot. I'm not that great."Tony muttered because he did indeed think steve and james was so much better then him ...he was just a mass murderer, even if it had just been his weapons and not him himswlf, r Ying for redemption. "He probably didnt.hell, I didn't know and I thought jamie told me everything. And we did..."Tony muttered flinching a little remembering his broken promise to not leave james behind, guilt nearly crippling him for a moment before snickering little before making a face at the super soldier."I know you cant.but it's still cute your blushing this much."Tony teased before nodding."...sounds good. I dont...want to go out just yet either..."he sighed pleased that the other understood his need to stay home for a while"well..true.we'll teach you how to date cap."Tony smiled relaxing, realizing he wasn't scaring them away before frowning at james."...if you're the one who told him to put it in my balls I'm going to kill you. That's not funny james. "He whined a little the lauthree in his eyes saying he was just teasing. Wincing a little as he was hugged, swallowing down the wince as he shifted to get comfortable between them, relaxing a little as the sudden shift in his ribs calmed down to just a dull throb."yea..we'll be okay..."he muttered now that he was relaxing, he was tired before turning his head to look up at steve, a hesitant quiet look on his face."just...one request...I don't care where you guys go on your date but...I'd like it...if it wasn't the aquarium. I don't care if we all go together but...it's mine and jamie's place..."he muttered expecting anger but making the request
Because it was special to hime because it wasn't just one of the only places he could go without getting mobbed, but because he'd said 'I love you' there for the first time...the rest of that night mi th t have gone to hell, but the place was special to him. And he wanted thrm to know it.
 
he nodded. "me either." he admitted with a sigh before he chuckled. "okay." he agreed, happy to let Tony bad talk his old man.

"your the idiot." Steve muttered back, simply because he wasn't sure what Tony was protesting. "i think Jamie was probably trying to tell you without telling you. make you think it was your idea." Steve admitted, looking amused. "he was never very good at subtlety though." he admitted blinking as he flinched. "Tony?" he scowled a little. "i am not! i'm not cute Tony! cute is for Dames!" he protested though he looked amused. "if anyone's the 'cute' in this relationship it's you. you'd fit far better in a dress and stockings than me." he teased before looking up at James. "...Bruce put it in your balls?" James asked, looking startled and Steve snorted. "no he didn't." he promised James who looked a little annoyed that Bruce had been touching Tony's balls. Steve smiled a little at Tony and nodded. "Tony... i can't go into Aquariums." he admitted. "i have... panic attacks." he admitted with a violent shudder. "all that water... and the cold..." he shuddered again and James blinked before reaching over and pulling Steve into a hug, practically dragging the super soldier over Tony to do it. "ach! James!" Steve protested. "we're going to hurt Tony!" James let go but he still looked upset that Steve was upset. "i'm alright. really i am. i just can't go... you know... oceans. or aquariums.... or walk in freezers."
 
"Oh...that sorta makes sense...I'm a idiot okay? People should know this."Tony muttered blushing a little before swallowing thickly,"....I lied to jamie...said I'd never leave him behind..."he muttered when steve scowled at him before snickering."you're cute, and I do look amazing in women' clothes."Tony smirked at that just teasing before making a face."no.but he threatened to do it."Tony whined a little reassuring james Bruce hadn't touched him like that before flinching."sorry...hadn't considered that..."Tony said realizing that steve indeed hadn't gone into the aquarium at the charityevent simply into the ballroom. Yelping as steve was dragged across him he winced trying to hid how much 220 pounds of super soldier laying on him had hurt."it's okay..."he wheezed a little before smiling at steve trying to get him to think of something else."we'll find something we can all do...I hear coney island still has the tilt a whirl."he teased having heard all about steve's getting sick since it'd been a common story among the howling commandos
 
he snorted. "in your defense, i think he was trying to tell me too." he admitted with a sheepish smile before he sobered. "Tony. James knows you didn't mean to leave him behind." he promised. "yes he was fucked up for a while, but so where you." he admitted. "he understands that you left because you thought you had been betrayed and he's forgiven you." he promised before he swallowed thickly, adopting a glassy eyed look at the thought of Tony in ladies clothes. "it's fine. i hide it well." Steve admitted. "i'm mostly over it, it's just... i can't handle that much water all in one place without having a panic attack. i can handle the pool now, which is a huge improvement since i wouldn't even take a bath when they first de-thawed me. i took showers." he admitted. "....Tony..." Steve complained as James giggled. "you snuck us in." James muttered suddenly. "we didn't have tickets so we hopped the fence when the guy wasn't looking and sat down and you got sick, all over the place." Steve grimaced. "...James? your not supposed to tell Tony that." "why?" "because i am the paradigm of innocence and chivalry." "what's paradigm, innocence and chivalry?" "....never mind..." Steve groaned, realizing that as James remembered more things, his reputation was going to be in tatters.
 
"...promise?"tony said looking a little anxious as he looked up at his captain before smirking as he went a little glassy eyed."does that mean I'm going to have to break out my panties for you cqptain? I think I even have some captain colored panties."Tony snickered simply to see what the other would say before nodding."I see.good to know...I still can't take baths without panicking."well. That explained why he wouldn't take a bath when he'd been hurt by 'loki', he couldn't handle it. Starting to laugh at james' words."that's awesome captain innocent. I knew you were erected a sassy bastard. Didn't know that part though...you keep the sass away from your commandos.I have so many childhood stories romantic them."Tony snickered because to him the howling commandos and their families had become his family, more then howard and Maria because they had looked after him when his parents got tired of having their brilliant boy around. Laughing harder he wheezed as the laughter made his ribs hurt, but the look of steve's face was priceless, a piece of him that pepper had broken, settling back into place."poor poor steve....do I need to tell the others you cheat at cards to?"he teased as he calmed starting to sound sleepy
 
Steve smiled and nodded. "i promise." he assured Tony, squeezing the other man's hands. "fuck yes." Steve breathed before red crawled across his cheeks and down his neck. "...shut up Tony." he complained as he realized the other had gained an advantage there somehow. "your better than you where. you just don't like to be in water." Steve admitted. "we can work on our issues together, hows that?" he promised with a smile before he blushed harder. "my Commandos where good men." he agreed with a smile. "remind me to tell you the time i made them wear pink underwear all day and they all thought it was the fault of one of the other units, which resulted in a prank war of super epic proportions." he offered with a smirk before he huffed. "you can't prove i was cheating! and besides, THEY where cheating FIRST!" he complained, smiling as he shook his head. "go back to sleep Tony. me and James will be right here with you." he promised, James nodding. "i have to pee first." he declared, hopping out of bed to do just that so he could take a nap with Tony.
 
Tony sighed quietly as he relaxed at the promise, taking a shaky breath before grinning at his captain as he blushed. Perking up at the idea of putting on the underwear to just see steve’s reaction. “Hm, okay then.”He said pleased with himself before nodding. “I am better....and we will work together.”he smiled before laughing, nodding.”They were good men, who didn’t mind having me around.”he smiled looking amused before his eyes widened, “What?That’s awesome!I never heard that one.”he said giggling a little before smirking. “they were. An I know, but it’s still amusing.”Tony smiled at the other’s complaining, before looking nervous, not wanting to sleep, afraid if he did he’d wake up in hydra’s base, but he nodded, to sleepy to stay awake, resting his head on steve’s shoulder as he drifted off to sleep.

When he woke, the man nearly went falling on his face as he scrambled to get out from between the two of them, hitting the floor on his hands and knees as he threw up in the wastecan by the bed, trembling as he cried silently, slumping down onto the floor as he curled up. To upset, to torn apart to really think of wear he was, afraid to move, afraid that if he did he’d see he was back with pepper, back in afghanistan....anywhere but with his boys.
 
Steve smiled. "you got to meet them?" he asked, looking quite delighted by that. he knew that Dum Dum Dugan and Jim Morita had died shortly after he'd been frozen. shot dead by enemy soldiers. but Jacques and Monty had been relatively undamaged by the war and had gotten wives and had often gone to Howard Starks social functions simply because they liked to be with the people who had known Steve personally. Gabbie had snapped after he'd had his legs blown off and had spent the rest of his life in a hospital. Steve had looked them up and knew that Jacques had two little granddaughters and Monty had three grand kids. one girl and two boys. they where both dead but their blood lived on.

it was Steve who acted when Tony freaked out. James didn't know what to do so Steve moved first, moving carefully over to Tony. "Tony? it's me, Steve." the Super-soldier explained, carefully picking Tony up and carrying him back to the bed. "your safe. your home. with me and James. open your eyes. go on, i'ts okay. we're right here." he promised, stroking the hair as James nuzzled Tony. "Tony? Sir...?" James asked, voice worried. "James? go get a damp washcloth, cold water. a glass of water, the mouthwash, and a bowl for Tony to spit into." James was off, doing as he was told and soon James was gently stroking the back of Tony's neck with the damp cloth while Steve urged Tony to rinse and spit before drinking the water.
 
“yea. Spent alot of time with them as a kid.”Tony shrugged a little because they had been family, when his own family hadn’t wanted him.

Tony whimpered pressing tighter into the floor, whimpering louder as he was picked up, his eyes squeezed tightly shut even if he turned his head towards the sound of the other’s voice, shaking his head hard, looking like a little kid who refused to wake up.”N-no. Can’t look. You wont be.”He whined a little even as he let the other two take care of him, sipping water and rinsing, but the man refused to open his eyes. If he didn’t have to look, nothing could change. He could just be here, in this dream.
 
he smiled. "i'm glad. they where great people." he admitted.

Steve smiled a little as he stroked Tony, strained and trying to be as Soothing as possible. James just hopped off the bed and went into his closet and pulled out the Violin. the one that Tony had gotten for him. "listen Tony. listen, Bucky's going to play for you. that will prove it, won't it?" he asked with a smile as James prepped everything and played a song from when he'd watched movies with Clint. The Circle of Life, from the Lion King. "we're here Tony, and we won't leave." Steve promised. "we won't let anyone take you, ever again."
 
Tony trembled a little under steve’s hand, slowly calming even if he wasn’t looking anywhere. Raising his head a little at the sound of the violin, turning his head towards it, shuffling a little, pressing his face into steve’s chest even as he hesitantly cracked a eye to look around her, nearly sobbing in relief as he realized he was indeed home, that they were there. Swallowing shakily he sighed, slumping into them, feeling stupid and useless, but knowing better then to voice those feelings, “...She...she said I’d never get to go home...I...I loved her...why...”He stuttered starting to cry, breaking apart in the other’s arms, because he felt safe enough to freak out, falling apart and trusting them to help him through it.
