he nodded. "i suppose it would. i wouldn't know. i've only ever been with the one person, and they where... skilled." Steve admitted with a shy smile before he smiled. "i think it makes a lot of sense." he admitted with a smile. "Bucky was always doing the protecting. it will be good for him to take a step back and be protected and cared for." he admitted, gently squeezing Tony's upper arm. "if you need anything at all, come get me. i'll do anything for you." he promised with a smile before he headed out, humming to himself. "is he ill?" Bucky asked. "in the head i mean." he asked as he studied the... impressive pile of french toast. no wonder Steve had commented, Bucky appeared to have gone through three loaves of bread when they hadn't been paying attention. he watched the man run his hands through his hair before he settled into a cross legged position next to Tony and examined a piece of the french toast before taking a small nibble. even Hydra couldn't kill the curiosity of Bucky Barnes. not that it made him like the French toast any better. his nibble was quickly spat out and the piece abandoned. he did seam Happily content to be sitting there at Tony's feet.

Clint nodded. "it is good to be here. i think this place is the first time i've ever truly felt welcomed, and at home." he admitted with a smile. "for Gods sake!" Steve complained, as he always did each and every time. "don't CALL me that! it's Steve! say it with me. Steve." Clint had to laugh. this was clearly an old argument. "how are you feeling you brat? you worried me sick." Steve admitted, pulling the other boy into a cautious hug, wary of any aches or pains the other might be feeling. "has Bruce seen to you yet? i think there was an accident involving Chloroform. he's as bad as Tony is." he grumbled, shaking his head. "your not leaving by the way. now that i finally have you here, i'm never letting you go." he warned with a smile. "Tony will be done in a bit, he has a new charge and the poor bastard just cooked three loaves of french toast because we forgot to tell him to stop..." he admitted, Clint chuckling.
 
“...”Tony stared curiosity showing in his face but not asking. “Yea, it does. We’ll be okay.”Tony said jumping a little at the touch, smiling slightly as he looked at the other, nodding. “I’ll let you know if I need something.”He mtutered smiling slightly before looking at Bucky. “Who?Steve?No, he’s not. At least, no more then the rest of us.”Tony snickered a little before sighing as he looked at the french toast, looking amused that they got so much made before smirking a little as bucky took a bit. “It’s not that bad.”he teased a little even as he dropped a hand without really thinking about it, gently stroking bucky’s hair as he played with soft black strands, sighing quietly, relaxing. While it wasn’t his normal way of stepping back, it gave him a few minutes to relax, to calm himself as he gently stroked his hair. “You okay?”He muttered glancing down at Bucky, wanting to take care of once person before he went and sought out a new emotional landmine to step on, knowing his talk with TJ was going ot be hard.

“Why not?I mean, it could be worse. I could be stealing Tony’s nicknames for you. Did you hear about the popsicles?”TJ asked with that playful little smirk that was so much like tony’s you just knew the two were friends, you just knew that whatever the answer was it was going to be amusing. “I feel sore, and tired. But okay.”TJ smiled a little sighing as he hugged the other back, “I scared myself to.”He muttered leaning back before nodding.”Yea, he’s been up. The worse I did was to my feet from walking. But it’s okay.”he promised before laughing. “So I’ve been told. Apparently wanting me to stay here is a common thing with you all.”TJ teased a little before laughing, “Oops. Well, at least there’ll be food for later.”He snickered relaxing, realizing then that he wasn’t going to be yelled at. Relaxing as he realized that this was okay, that this place was safe for him to simply be himself. he had known it was, but it was always nice to see his friends simply accepting him being with them.
 
Steve offered Tony a pained smile. that was all the answer anyone needed. especially being that it was Steve. his lover was dead and gone. left behind when Steve had been frozen. "make sure that you do. even if you just need a babysitter." he offered with a smile as he headed off. "oh. well alright then." Bucky mused, shaking his head. "it's gross." he stated simply. "it tastes too much... i want mu mush." he grumbled as he sighed, leaning into the touches and relaxing until he was nearly oblivious to the world. he hummed as Tony spoke and blinked up t Tony, looking almost innocent. trusting and adoring Tony as he nodded and went back to his content oblivion. one simple action, and Tony had the most loyal person at his side. Bucky had never been truly loyal to his other handlers. not really, he hadn't truly trusted them, adored them no matter how hard they had tried. Tony was adored, Tony was trusted, and Bucky would die, would kill, would do anything simply to please Tony.

Steve just groaned. "i must be a masochist, being friends with the people i'm friends with." he groaned, looking amused. "i'm glad your alright." Steve stated again, looking very relieved. "good. he's bandaged them already too." he admitted, examining the clean white bandages. "you won't be walking on those for a while." he muttered before a rather wicked glint entered his eye. Clint wouldn't notice it, but TJ was as close to Steve as Tony was and both would recognize the look. Steve was about to be wicked. "you do realize someone's going to have to help you piss." Clint choked hard on his food and Steve laughed. aside from Tony and TJ, no one was really aware of just how well Steve had adapted into the new century. he handled the twenty first century better than some of the people who had grown up in it. "we want you to stay, of course it's a common theme. we can't keep you safe if your all the way in DC with your fuck up of a family... are you SURE i can't hire an assassin to deal with them? i know some you know."
 
Tony winced looking at him, ducking his head a little. That one look said everything. “I always need a babysitter, but I’ll keep it in mind.”Tony snickered a little smiling as he looked at Bucky. “We’re going to get mush. As soon as we fill out the map, and the others can figure out a good plan of attack. It’ll be fun. I’ll get to blow shit up.”Tony snickered at the idea of blowing up some hydra places sky high before smiling as he looked down at Bucky. “Good. Just relax.”He muttered stroking the man’s hair, relaxing himself.

“Probably. That would explain so much if you were.”TJ grinned a little before nodding, “Me to.”He said looking pleased that he was doing okay before twitching at the look he was getting, nearly choking on the food he was eating, “Fucking hell.Cap, really?You had to mention it while I was eating?”He whined looking at the blond, rolling his eyes a little. “...I think you’re living with some actually.. I new one since last time I talked to you...so I’ve heard about tall dark and scary, who’s tony’s adopted. So do I get to meet the other living legend?”TJ said teasing his friend just a tad about bucky, knowing it had to hurt, but trying to figure out just how badly steve was doing, what with what he suspected was probably tony seriously flirting without really realizing it.
 
Steve rolled his eyes. "i meant for Bucky, Tony. You only need a babysitter when you run the risk of getting bored." he pointed out, looking amused. "good." Bucky muttered as he nodded. "i can mark the map now if you like. and my Handler will know more if you want to torture him for information." he admitted, looking up at Tony. "if you blow it all up then you'll attract attention to yourselves." he pointed out. "it's better to slip in, kill them all, steal everything and then leave." he smiled. "it could be weeks before the deaths and thefts are discovered." he admitted even as he sagged once again into the touch. he had never felt something so good in his life. mouth on his cock, cock in his ass, nothing felt as good as this. not even slipping into the icy sleep.

Steve sulked at TJ. he was friends with them because he was just as Evil as they where, he just hid it better. "yes. yes i did." Steve stated, looking very pleased with himself. "call it revenge for showing me Tony's Sex Video. i blamed it on Jarvis too, so you still owe me." he teased with a snicker as Clint started choking. "T.. Tony was in a Porno!?" "sex video." Steve repeated. "online. from when he was a kid." damn he was a good liar. "actually. Clint and Natasha are both world class Assassins. and James is too." Steve admitted, examining his fingernails before he smiled a soft, sad, hurting sort of smile and Clint sensed the impending emotions and quickly left. "Bucky doesn't remember me." he whispered. "not even a little. he's falling for Tony, and Tony's falling for him..." he had told TJ all about his previous love life with James Barnes. and all about his new infatuation with Tony start. and now both people he loved where getting together and leaving him in the cold. not that Steve would want to deny their happiness, but he was feeling lonely already.
 
"Ahh, okay."Tony snickered a little smiling down at Bucky, before nodding. "Jarvis, pull a map up on the coffee table."Tony said smiling a little as he moved to get up, moving them into the living room and settled on the couch with bucky at his feet, so he could keep playing with the other's hair as bucky marked up the map. amused as he showed bucky how to mark up the holographic map with jarvis' help, before sighing quietly as he stroked bucky's hair. "fine. I wont blow it up. We'll just get everything we need."he sighed softly, shaking his head a little, sulking at not being able to blow things up, but oh well. Trying to relax enough to go see tj. while he loved tj, dealing with his addiction, trying not to hurt tj, stressed him out and not just because it had nearly killed him. it was hard on him because it wasn't something he could fix for him, and the inability to help, to fix it, nearly broke him. "I'll leave the raid planning to you and Cap then."Tony muttered sounding relaxed and sleepy, even if he was starting to crash, he was holding it together fairly well, not even acting manic either.

~~@@~~

"You do know he wouldn't have cared if I was the one showing you right? the only thing he cares about is that you watched it. No doubt he'll blush for days now."TJ snickered at the idea slanting a look at clint as he choked. "Sex video. And it's the playboy bunny one."TJ smirked a little because while he was willing to embarrass tony, he knew clint would give the man a harder time over it then steve for being in a porno. Sighing quietly as Clint laughed he studied the other before shifting, setting his food aside so he could hug the other.

"I'm sorry Steve. Really."He muttered. "You should tell Tony, you know.about both your crush and being with James."TJ said because he wouldn't share tony's secrets, not even if it would be something to help him, which telling steve about tony's crush on steve would be, but he also knew that tony wasn't really aware that his flirting with steve was more then his normal flirting. if he told steve before tony was ready to accept his feelings, it'd make even more of a mess then it already was. he'd deal with tony wanting james first, then go from there. "Tony's going to freak you know. When he realizes he's falling for James. If you don't tell him about your own feelings, at least be there for him during that conversation. cause he loves you."In more ways then TJ knew Steve would take it but anyways-"And he'll accept advice and help from you more then anyone else I know, which is a feat. you get him to do stuff just by asking, when I have to fight him over it."he teased a little.
 
Bucky smiled as he examined the holographic map, curious about it. he took his time making sure of each location before marking it, letting Tony play with his hair the entire time. it felt really nice. "we'll find something to blow up. or we could wire each one to blow up at the same time with a press of a button. it will give the appearance of you having more people than you really do and will really throw their bonnets in a twist." Bucky admitted, feeling very much at home discussing raiding plans. "yes Sir." he agreed to the order of being the raid planner with Captain Boring. who he hadn't met yet. he wasn't too worried about it either way. the Boss would command and he would obey. he finished marking the map and leaned back, studying it intently for anything he might have missed. there was only a dozen or so flags, but each flag would no doubt have another dozen locations and information.

~~**~~

he shrugged. "he'd give you hell for it and we both know it." he teased with a smirk. "you'd be walking around with pink hair and a Tutu super glued to your perky ass if he knew you where the one to show me." he stated with a snicker. "oh he did blush very nicely." Steve agreed with a laugh as Clint gaped at them. "...i have to go find this sex video." he muttered as he left. a decent excuse.

"i can't TJ... i can't. Both Bucky and Tony deserve this happiness." he admitted. "i can't ruin that for them when they deserve it so much." he admitted. "i'll be okay, it hurts right now but it won't hurt forever." he admitted, shaking his head. "i will always be there for Tony." he promised TJ. "aside from you, he's the only friend i have." Steve hadn't met Johnny yet, though he'd heard the stories. he couldn't count Bucky as a friend anymore because... Bucky wasn't Bucky anymore. "i have mad skillz." Steve stated with a shrug. "no, serious;y? i tend to bribe him." he admitted. "or i get him to come to the decision on his own. i know it's wrong to manipulate him but sometimes you have to." he admitted with a smile. "you just have to handle him the right way." he admitted with a shrug. "just like people have to handle you a certain way. simply telling you to do something won't make you do it after all." he teased with a smile. "that's why i always ask instead of assume. don't want to be anything like your family." he admitted. "plus it's more polite."
 
“It’s a good map. Easier, cause if something changes, its easy to move the mark or whatever. Cap’s a little in love with my tech I think.”Tony snickered a little before grinning, “I’ll wire them, and sit at home and imagine them getting their bonnets in a twist over it. I’ll die laughing over it.”He snickered before sighing, realizing that he was going to have to tell Bucky who he was working with, otherwise the whole name calling and bucky’s former mission to kill steve was going to blow up in his face. “Very good, James.”he muttered leaning forward to look at the map, resting his elbows against the other’s shoulders as he leaned close to look, resting his chin on the other’s head...hey it wasn’t his fault James made a perfect leaning post when he was sitting at tony’s feet. “Hey. So,...I know I told you my boss was named Captain Boring. It’s not his real name. It’s Captain America, Steve Rogers. I just call him names cause he bores me sometimes...but...are you okay with working with him?”He asked shifting to look at bucky’s face, needing to know if working with his former target was going to upset the other.

~~**~~

“Yea,probably, though the tutu’s not so bad, he’s done it before.”TJ snickered amused as Clint ran out of the room, wondering if he really was going to look up the porno before sighing as he looked at steve. “You three are stubborn. You all deserve each other.”TJ huffed a little rolling his eyes, well. They’d just have to figure it out on their own before smiling, “Good. Cause Tony needs people who get him....and they’re few and far between. Cause really, Pepper...urgh.”TJ made a face at that, even if he was trying not to think about Johnny, cause he wondered if anyone had told the other man, making a mental note to talk to him when he was up again. “.....I can’t believe you just said you have mad skillz....that was amusing.”TJ snickered shaking his head.”You’ve been spending to much time with Tony if your talking like that....and it’s better then what Pepper does to him. You’re at least not trying to change him really, you’re just making sure he’s taking care of.”TJ pointed out before snickering. “You are always so polite.”TJ teased a little slumping back into the bed, frowning slightly.”so...how’s Tony really doing?”He asked, knowing that if anyone would tell him the truth about how his best friend was doing, it would be steve.
 
he smiled. "i like this technology." he admitted. "you can change the colors to match. like if we hit this one, we change it to yellow, and any new locations from that position we find can also be marked in yellow. your Voice Man is very helpful." he admitted as he examined the map, pleased that Tony was pleased and even more pleased as he was praised, completely uncaring that he was being used as a leaning post. "You are my Handler now." Bucky stated simply. "that means that my Target is anyone you deem. if you want me to work with Boss, then i will work with Boss." he admitted. Bucky's training meant that sometimes he worked with previous targets, when the Target decided to switch sides rather than die. he looked up at Tony, his head tilted. "your my Handler. your my Sir." he stated, as if that explained everything. for Bucky, maybe it did.

Steve snorted. "i know. i saw the pictures." he admitted with a chuckle before he completely ignored the comment about them deserving each other. "Tony has you and Johnny if i can't be there. i swear if i have to fight one more giant lizard, i'm going to scream." he admitted with a sulky grumble. "i do have Mad Skillz." he stated with a smirk. "Tony says so." he admitted with a snicker. "if i could get away with it, Pepper would be long gone and dead in a tower or a well or somewhere." he admitted. most people might have been shocked to hear the great Captain America speaking of murder so flippantly, but it was because he was Captain America that he could. his task was to protect the world, and his friends and he'd kill anyone who threatened the health and safety of one or both. "i'm not always polite." he admitted with a smile. "in fact, i can be very rude if i want to be." he admitted with a chuckle before he sighed. "he's crashing. this thing with Pepper has him very frayed, throw you, me, and James on top of all that and... well, we might have to call Johnny." he admitted. "i don't know how to calm him down properly and your not physically capable of it right now." he admitted. "he's handling it alright so far though. i think taking care of Bucky has given him a small bit of stability that he needs." for now.
 
“Exactly. And Jarvis is amazing, he makes sure my life works most days.”Tony snickered a little tilting his head down to look at him, “okay then. You can work with Cap and figure out a plan of attack. It’ll be fun, even if you two wont let me blow things up.”Tony sulked a little teasing him a little before swallowing hard, straightening away from the other man as his body responded to the fact that yes, he was sir, and and definitely enjoyed being called that. Swallowing thickly he nudged the other. To get up. “Come on. Time to go meet TJ, you said you wanted to look after him for me.”Tony said heading for the bedroom, snickering to himself. Because despite Steve’s lies, he had a suspicion on who really showed steve that porno, and siccing bucky on TJ while the man recovered was suitable punishment.


“Just send Tony after the lizards. He’ll enjoy blowing them up, you know. Causing explosions is what he’s good at.”he snickered rolling his eyes. “Tony would tell you you had mad skillz just to listen to you try and explain why you’re talking like that.”TJ snickered before raising a eyebrow, even if this wasn’t a new conversation with Steve, especially when it concerned pepper. Much like tony and Bucky(at least when the man remembered) TJ was aware of just how much a sassy bastard steve was. “We could make it look like a accident.”TJ hummed considering that before smiling. “You can. I know. It just makes this boyscout image you got going on even more amusing.”TJ smiled before sighing, having been afraid of that. “I’ll talk to him, and if he’s as frayed as you think, I’ll call johnny.”TJ said sounding upset before tensing as the man in question walked in. “Why are we calling Johnny?Flame boy is dating someone. I don’t want to call and interrupt sex. Last time I did that, he answered the phone while fucking.”tony whined a little, and indeed he seemed to be holding it together, but there was cracks in the mask, the man really was starting to fray and break badly, crashing hard. “Johnny doesn’t date people, you know that. And we were just deciding who gets to haul your ass out of the lab when you collapse.’ “Me?Why?I’m fine. Besides, James would be the one taking care of me.”Tony said frowning slightly at the two, tilting his head, looking at James.”James, this is TJ. TJ, this is your new babysitter, James.”He said grinning that wickedly bright grin that said he was planning things.
 
James nodded a little. "he makes the TV work." as if that was the only reason why Jarvis was the coolest thing on the planet. "you can blow it up at the end." Bucky stated simply as he stood up and followed Tony. curious about this TJ person.

he snorted. "i'm not allowed to delegate missions apparently." he growled. "i'm this close to declaring the Avengers an unaffiliated and being done with the whole political agenda shit." Steve admitted with a shake of his head before he smirked. "i love encouraging him." Steve admitted with a snicker. "just so i can pretend to be annoyed by it later and make him look like an asshole." he admitted. it was an old 'game' and Tony loved playing it as much as Steve did. mostly because it just cemented their 'public image masks'. "Tony would still know." Steve grumbled. "i poisoned her once and he gave me this LOOK... i managed to get him to forgive me when i told him it was supposed to be a laxative." he grumbled. "he thought i was trying to pull a prank." he snorted. "honestly, how in the hell did he believe that?" he asked with a roll of his eyes. "..." Steve refrained from commenting on Johnny. he didn't like talking about people he didn't know. good things or bad it just seamed wrong to him. "...Johnny answers the phone while having sex? don't YOU do that Tony?" Steve asked, looking rather amused even as he studied both Tony and Bucky, looking for signs of serious problems of any kind. James just examined TJ, head cocked curiously, but he didn't say anything. he wasn't supposed to talk to people unless they where his handler, his Boss, or they asked him a direct question.
 
“Do it. You’ll make my mother’s heart stop and it’d be hysterical watching her freak out.”TJ snickered a little before rolling his eyes.”He IS a asshole, but you two make me laugh so hard when I see you two on tv.”He snickered before staring at him, before laughing. “That is awesome. Really. And tony believed it because he probably thought about doing the same thing to her sometime.”He snickered before snickering at Tony. “He does do that.” “Not often. I get hit for it. And I only do it to you, Stevie. Since you enjoy it so much.”Tony snickered a little, though he looked like his normal happy, pleased, asshole self, he was fraying around the edges, the strain of having to be in charge of bucky, of having to take care of himself, and to not jump bucky like he wanted to, was starting to show. Which meant it was bad enough tony couldn’t hide, because he was so good at hiding how he really was feeling, if he couldn’t, it was bad. “You can talk to him if you want. Thoughts feelings, be rude if you want, James. I’m serious. You can trust TJ, he wont fuck with you simply to screw around. If he asks for something, you can choose if you want to do it or not.”Tony said as he rocked a little on his toes, looking hyper enough that it made TJ grind his teeth in the effort to not get up and force the man to relax. Knowing something had to be done, but steve was right, he was in no shape to take care of it himself. Wondering if Johnny was even in town, or if there was someone else he could trust, not about to put steve in that situation of figuring out how to take care of tony without warning
 
Steve smirked. "i'll start doing the paperwork then. maybe she'll drop dead and i can stop worrying about her next asshole move." he mused. "well, so long as we entertain you i guess." he scoffed, looking amused. "probably." he agreed with a roll of his eyes. "...Tony i'm going to hurt you..." he took a sudden step back when Bucky turned that frightening Winter Soldier glare on him. "or not..." he muttered, Bucky examining Steve intently for signs of threat before turning his attention to... actually no one could really be sure what Bucky was focusing on, he looked like he was daydreaming actually. he focused on Tony, looking a bit confused before he examined TJ again. "he's too little." Bucky stated finally. "he needs to eat more." he examined Tony and then reached over and took his hand, stroking the knuckles with his thumb, recognizing the look on TJ's face and realizing Tony's behavior wasn't typically considered normal. Bucky didn't like his Handler to be off or upset. "Sir?" Bucky asked, looking a bit concerned. "do you need something?"
 
“Hmmm, that would be amazing.”TJ said, because while he would totally be upset if something happened to his mother for real, he was also tired, so tired of being in that world, watching everything go so wrong. “You should entertain me. You left me in DC alone, asshole. Not even entertaining at charity events anymore.”TJ whined teasing him a little before smiling a little at Steve’s look, startled as bucky glared. “Hey. Steve actually never has any intent to hurt me, James. Really. He threatens me to tell me I’m being a asshole, and to knock it off.”he said knowing it probably wouldn’t stop Bucky from responding to the threat, but he told him anyways. “He is to little. You can make him eat.” “Don’t tell him that. I’ll be eating like every hour on the hour if you do.” “Good. You could use more food.”Tony huffed making a face, startling as his hand was grabbed. “F-fine. I’m fine. Really.”Tony stuttered looking a little manic and trapped, because he so wanted to respond to that touch, to be able to do something about that touching, and the concern, because that emotion was doing things to him.
 
Steve chuckled a little. he knew TJ would be torn up if anything actually happened to his mother, but it was amusing to think about. really, what was the world going to do if the Avengers decided to not obey anyway? fire them? as if. "sorry. there was a mad rash of giant lizards that apparently only i could handle. honestly, i think the Brass just wanted me here so they could control me easier." he admitted. "..." Bucky didn't actually respond, he just shot Steve another suspicious scowl. "...i will ensure he has food several times a day." James agreed, examining TJ. "he will also attend training. he is helpless i will change that." Steve looked away and bit back the urge to start laughing. poor TJ. while TJ was no black belt, the constant threat of being a presidents son meant that he did have rather high class training in how to defend oneself. "James? would you go and get Tony some Coffee? he's probably going through withdrawals." Steve admitted and James considered that before nodding and leaving to make a full pot of Coffee or three. his last handler liked coffee a lot and was a bear without it, so James could easily believe Tony having Caffeine Withdrawals. "Tony. look at me." Steve ordered, using his Captain voice. "you're being ridiculous. Bucky likes you, a lot. if you want to seduce him, do so. just because his past handlers where assholes, doesn't mean he won't enjoy your attentions."
 
“Apparently giant lizards like shields more then they like repulsor blasts. Seriously considering they wanted you here to control Tony, not you. Cause you know, he goes a little mad scientist without supervision.”TJ snickered a little. “I do not.” “Do to.” “Good. And he’d do good in training. He has some, but it’ll be good to let him get his ass kicked.”Tony said and you could tell he was chewing on the inside of his mouth to keep from laughing at the look on TJ’s face. “Hey, I do have some training.” “If I have to get my ass thrown around the gym on a regular basis, so do you.”Tony huffed before frowning, perking up a little at the idea of coffee.”A big cup James!”He yelled after the man before responding to the order without even realizing it, looking at steve. “...No. Just no. I-I no- I wont-Hey!What the fuck TJ?”Tony growled as he was groped before realizing the man was looking for his cellphone as TJ fished it out of his pocket, dialing, tossing it to Steve. “Get Johnny over here.”He said knowing better then to talk to johnny, even if the firestarter didn’t know he had been missing, it would go faster if it was steve talked, cause steve would only call in emergency, and the man wouldn’t take his time getting over from the fantastic four tower like he might if it’d been TJ calling. “What?No. Johnny is doing stuff-I mean, someone probably, I’m fine really. And I’m not seducing James. It’s wrong and bad- and no.”Tony rambled even as he was ignored.
 
Steve snorted. "i wouldn't doubt it. they seam to forget that they have no right to control Tony." he admitted. "i'm certainly not going to, he is his own man. i will advise him against something but i won't tell him he can't do it." he admitted. which was probably why Tony liked Cap so much. the only time Steve actually gave orders was on the battlefield. and then, only when he had to. he didn't try to control the uncontrollable Tony. "besides, some of that 'mad scientist' shit gave them the technology they want so desperately. they can't be hypocrites." Steve stated simply. "James, TJ's hurt so you can't train him right now." he explained, James nodding. "he has to heal first. then i will train him." he agreed. "Tony will also be trained." he examined Steve. "you don't need training." he decided, making Steve chuckle as James turned on his heal and left to make Coffee.

he took the Phone and held it to his ear. "Hello. is this Johnny Storm? my name is Steve Rogers... yes... Captain boring." he shot Tony a small glare. "listen, Tony's crashing and i don't know how to help him." Steve explained. "i need you to get over here before he has a full blown panic attack or something. i'll explain everything once you get over here... Tony, come on, we're going up to your bedroom. come on now... up, march. come on now." he gently ordered, herding Tony up the stairs. "i'll keep James distracted." he promised Tony before turning his attention to the phone. "James is a recent addition, don't take it personally if you get attacked... we're working on the training." Steve explained into the phone.
 
“No, they really don’t. And it’s why he likes you the most, and probably listens when you ask him to eat.”TJ snickered a little because it was true. Tony liked steve because steve let him do what he wanted, even if he thought it was a bad idea, he simply advised against it, not made it a order to not do it. Smirking a little as James decided steve was okay on training, it amused him.

"Go. I'll take care of James when he comes back."TJ muttered watching them. “You are!”Tony huffed making a face as he was glared at, “I’m fine johnny!Stop it.”Tony huffed annoyed that they were all talking about him without asking him, shuddering at the order, and while he usually topped, when he was crashing hard from being in control to long, he didn’t mind being ordered around....and well, it was Cap. Tony trusted Cap to take care of him, even if he didn’t think he needed anything. “Hey, I can distract James myself. I’m fine. Really. And he’s making coffee. Johnny, don’t come. Well, you can come, but not here. I mean-really, Pepper’s already annoyed with me, I don’t need you getting come all over my stuff and pissing her off, and oh hey, I have a new project-”Tony rambled as he was led up towards his bedroom, now that they’d broken through his mask enough to see just how much he was going manic from being so tightly wound and in control for so long, he was starting to fall.
 
Steve chuckled a little and nodded. "that and i don't offer to make him food, i just hand it to him. usually, he'll eat if you put something in his hands. most of the time he's not even aware your in the room with him." he admitted with a smile.

"Thanks TJ." Steve stated, flashing the other a smile. "i'm not!" Steve complained with a smile before he herded Tony out of the room. "your not fine Tony." Steve stated sternly as he herded Tony into the bedroom. "take off some of those clothes and get comfortable Tony." Steve ordered, gently stroking Tony's hair. "please. let me help you." he pleaded softly before scowling. "Pepper isn't here Tony and if she gives you shit, you send her tome and i'll deal with it." he ordered before turning his attention back to the Phone. "Johnny please. it's alright, i understand. just tell me what to do to help him... a huh? yes. okay i can do that. just hurry." he ordered. "shirt off, lay on the bed." Steve ordered as he went into the top bedside table drawer and pulled out the warming oil for massages. "Johnny's going to be a bit. he's in Canada." he admitted, sounding a bit amused. "he's going to fly hard and fast to get here, but until then, i'm going to give you a back massage." he admitted, pausing as he heard James yell and something shatter. he knew the man would be up soon to keep an eye on Tony. and while James did come up, he stationed himself in front of the door instead of coming in. apparently he trusted Steve a bit more than anyone had realized.
 
“Are to.You make me read mission reports. On missions I was on. That’s boring.”Tony whined a little even though he let himself get herded out of the room, “Am to.I can take care of myself.”he muttered even as he watched the other, head pushing up into the other’s hand, enjoying the touch, before frowning a little. “...You’ll deal with pepper?No. Can’t do that. I’m fairly certain one of you would be dead at the end of it.”Tony hummed a little sounding a little amused relaxing under the orders, shuddering as he was ordered around, shrugging out of his dress shirt and laying down, pillowing his head on his arms as he snickered tiredly, because while he was usually napping, he rarely slept well without someone in bed with him, and the fact that he’d been in his dominate headspace so long meant he hadn’t slept well, even if he’d been trying. “Okay....oh...NEed to go see what happened....”Tony muttered pushing to get up at the sound of the glass shattering, needing to check on James, but after reassuring himself that the man was okay, amused that he settled on the bed, simply relaxing under Steve’s hands.”You’re fairly good at this, Captain.”Tony muttered sounding strung out and nearly high, with just how much pleasure he was getting under simply allowing someone else to take care of him,even if he was still paying attention to james outside the door, aware enough to keep track of things.
 
Steve snorted a little. "you need to read them since you refuse to write them." he ordered with a smile and a shake of his head as he shook his head, smiling as Tony leaned into the touch. this as going to be very, very hard. "yes, she would be dead by the end of it." he agreed. "and we would all be happier for it." he admitted as he watched the other lay down. "your not going anywhere Tony." he stated sternly. "TJ and Clint will handle it." he admitted. "i better be good at it. my Lover used to demand these all the time." Steve admitted with a smile as he ran his hands along those wonderfully smooth plains. Tony was soft and smooth and lacking a lot of Body hair. just the way Steve liked his men. he paused as there was the sound of footsteps and Johnny's voice filtered into the room. then things went to hell in a hand basket.

James didn't bother to find out who the new person was, he just attacked, latching onto Johnny's arm and neck to pin him down. but Johnny was a black belt in Aikido, he didn't stay down for long. the result was Bucky and Johnny snarling, snapping and trying to break each others arms. "Stop! this instant James!" Steve ordered, Bucky froze. the Boss had commanded and he had to obey. "...James, this is Johnny. he's a good freind of Tony and TJ's. he's here to help Tony." Steve explained, his voice gentle now. "you can go in Johnny. i've got James." "no! he can't go in there! not when Tony's hurt!" Bucky snarled, his eyes furious as he struggled against Steve. "Johnny's the only one who can make Tony better right now. you need to calm down and let Johnny do what he needs to do." Steve ordered gently.
 
“Well, its stupid. I mean, there’s video and all to watch. No need to write it.”Tony muttered sighing quietly. “...”He stared at the idea of pepper being gone and being happy, “No we wouldn’t.”Though he didn’t sound as sure about that as he normally would. Growling quietly as he was forced to stay put he sighed quietly. “Okay...”He muttered realizing that steve wasn’t going to let him get up, sighing softly as he smiled tiredly. “I’m sorry you lost them, Stevie. I’d give you back the past if I could...but I can’t. Cause I like you being here. It’s nice, you know? You’re not the man my dad thought you were...”He muttered pliant and quiet under the other’s hands before startling, already pushing up to get moving, pulling open the door as steve ordered bucky to stop. “I’m not hurt James.Not really. I can take care of myself, and he’s a friend. Remember, you’ve been teaching me. I’ll be okay.You can stand guard okay?Make sure no one else comes in, but don’t hurt them. Let him go, James”Tony said watching James’ face as he leaned against the doorframe, struggling to get his head clear enough, trying to get out of subspace long enough to be dominate again, but he was falling apart quickly, offering johnny a small smile. “hey, fireboy.”he said showing that he trusted johnny, that it was okay to let him in the room even if james didn't understand. "It's okay James. Really."
 
he rolled his eyes. "well, i have a plan for that anyway and if it works, no more paperwork." he admitted with a smile. "we would. you especially." he admitted with a shake of his head. "honestly Tony?... i wouldn't go back even if you could." he admitted. "i fit in too well into this world. i would be miserable back into the forties." he admitted. "i've never felt more at home than i do here and now." he admitted with a smile. "no. i was too good at hiding who i was." he admitted. "i had to be what the military wanted me to be... and i hated your father, he was a fuckhead." he admitted before turning to the ruckus. "..." James examined Tony intently before he nodded, deciding the other really was alright and let Johnny go completely, the man rubbing his neck. "he's good." Johnny admitted, examining James curiously. "Yes Sir." James finally agreed, Johnny lifting an eyebrow at that but saying nothing since James was still watching him intently. "hey Einstein." Johnny stated with a smile as he headed inside, James scowling. he didn't say anything though, he just stepped in front of the doorway and stood there, Johnny blinking. "...is he going to stand there the whole time?" "probably. sorry." Steve muttered sheepishly. "like i said on the Phone... we're working on him. just do your best to ignore him."
 
“Awesome. No paperwork would be amazing.”Tony snickered before sighing softly, biting his lip as he considered getting rid of pepper...maybe...swallowing a little he laughed quietly. “Good. We like you here.”He smiled happily before snickering.”He was a fuckhead.”He snickered as he dealt with the ruckus, looking serious though. “I’m fine. Seriously. I’d lie to them, but James, not you. I know better. You have a weird habit of knowing when I do.”Tony made a face but not trying to hide, tilting his head towards Johnny. “And no, he wont leave. And I wont ask him to. It’ll be even worse if I do.”Tony muttered rubbing a hand over his face. “Seems he’s claimed me to be protective of. Don’t know why, but we’re still working on things...”Tony muttered to johnny, wanting to explain more, but not with james standing there, because explaining exactly what had been done to the winter soldier, and how he’d ended up here, wasn’t a trauma he was willing to inflict on james if he didn’t have to. “So. Now that youre here. I can tell you in person, I really am okay, Johnny. Seriously. No need to have rushed over.”Tony said just this edge of manic, focusing on the other, tuning into him, responding to him even if he said he didn’t need it, it was obvious he was startting to crash even harder.
 
Steve smiled a little. "i know. of course we might cause a massive civil war, but the loss of paperwork would be worth it." he admitted with a nod as he chuckled at Tony's response to his father. "...okay." James agreed, looking much more calm now that he realized Tony wasn't lying to him. Tony was damaged, but he wasn't hurt or hurting. he could let Tony make decisions and trust those decisions. "you'll explain that later right?" he asked, his head tilted a little as he examined James before shutting the door carefully, wary of the man attacking. James didn't do a thing, he just stood there. "you aren't okay." Johnny stated simply. "you're crashing, and you can't fool me." he stated, moving over to Tony and kissing him. "lay down. let me take care of you." Johnny ordered, kissing Tony's neck. "let me show you all the pleasure in the world." he whispered with a smile as he nibbled on Tony's ear. "let me take care of you." he ordered, running his hands down Tony's sides. "you can't do it all. let me help."
