Seeing Ghosts(Avengers)Moon/Lady

“Yea. That was epic, and I have no idea how he gets into fixes like that, but he does.”Tony snickered a little before snickering louder at steve’s disblief. Shrugging a little at the other’s words.”Well....you had like...three things when you moved it. I had a closet full of stuff. It seemed a little mean to get bent out of shape over a shirt I didn’t wear alot.”he shrugged before smiling. “seeing you wear my stuff was worth parting with it.”He said blushing a little.
 
James sniggered and nodded. "yeah he was always the best at finding the weirdest shit." he agreed, chuckling a little and shaking his head, Steve shrugging. "it's not my fault i wasn't allowed to leave until after the Chitauri invasion." he complained. "and after, i was too busy to go shopping." he admitted. "you weren't allowed to leave?" "some crackpot said that i was a flight and suicide risk." Steve scoffed. "because i refused to talk to him, but come on! he spoke to me like i was six! if course i wasn't gonna talk to the asshole!" Steve complained. "....i like wearing your shirt." Steve admitted, flushing brightly. James just groaned. "go flirt with each other somewhere else, your making my stomach turn." "....you don't like gay people?" Steve demanded, a but stung. "no. i don't like Stark and the idea of him seducing my baby brother makes me nauseous." Steve had to laugh at that.
 
“....I remember that dickhead. I told him to shove it. I mean, he told me I was a narcissist. Now whoever would believe that.”Tony sulked at the idea, snickering quietly because everyone knew he was one, even if him and steve had had fun making the shrink think tony was seriously bad. It had been amusing really. “....We’re not flirting. He’s a ghost, it’s not like we could do anything.”Tony said blushing before looking at james. “Besides, I came to see if you still want to live in this rat’s nest, or maybe move into the tower.”
 
both James ad Steve grinned at Tony, highly amused. "i could kiss you again, that was fun." Steve agreed, chuckling a little. "i'm not moving into the Tower." James growled. or rather, back into the Tower. he had lived there with Natasha... until she died. "there's too many memories Tony... i can't. it hurts too much... i don't understand how you can sleep there." he admitted softly. "i just... i can't go there again. not now." he admitted. "i'd go insane... well, more so."
 
“....”Tony flushed trying not to think about that. It was to hard to consider when what he wanted even more, he couldn’t have. At least not really. “....I know. I just thought I’d ask.”Tony said looking sad, swallowing thickly, “...I’m haunted no matter where I go, both by magical ghosts, steve, and my own guilt. There’s no where I can go that’s not filled with memories. If I’m going to be tortured, I want to be somewhere there’s good memories to.”Tony shrugged a little staring down at the floor, sounding tired. world weary.
 
James nodded. "i appreciate it." he admitted softly. "i'm sorry you have to suffer like that Tony. it' not right." he admitted. "not when you risked everything to protect us. all of us." he admitted, rubbing the back of his head. "it wasn't just your life, but you where risking your friends, your family, you risked everything and... i wanted to thank you fr taking that risk. out of everyone i know, i think your the best person." he admitted. "not even Steve would have risked his friends and family to do the right thing. and you saved a lot of people doing it." he admitted. "don't let anyone tell you different. you did the right thing."
 
Tony ducked his head, frowning a little as he looked down, swallowing thickly. “...I hadn’t counted on losing the most important person to me though. I risked everything cause I thought I had him...”Tony muttered looking like he was still hurting, and he was. No matter what, it still hurt him badly that steve hadn’t simply listened. Eyes flicking up he flinched when he saw natasha, nearly whimpering outloud as she started talking, spewing anger in the face of tony’s guilt and emboldened by james’ presence. Even with steve there to and beating back, tony was still being tortured by everything he saw. Swallowing thickly tony shuddered.
 
James nodded. "yeah, but it wasn't your actions that lost him Tony. it was Sharon who took him from you." James reminded him before scowling when Steve snarled and advanced on something James couldn't see. "one of them is here, the Magic Ghosts i mean." "yeah, it's Natasha." Steve explained, punching the fake hard, sending her sprawling. "....i'm not sure if i'm grateful or hurt that i can't see her." "be grateful. the Fake is a bad Fake. doesn't sound like Nat, doesn't talk like Nat, doesn't move like Nat." he admitted, James grimacing and moved over to the man, setting his hand on Tony's shoulder. "I forgive you." he informed Tony, eyes fixed on Tony's. he knew, from when he was struggling with his own guilt, just how much those words could heal.
 
“:....yea..it was.”Tony muttered looking a little relieved at that, because it hadn’t been him to turn steve away. It was sharon. “Very grateful. It’s not...nat.”Tony shuddered watching the fight as it faded again. “...but even knowing that....”he shuddered before looking up at james, tensing at the touch as he looked up at him, slumping into him a little. “...Thank you.”he muttered feeling a little easier before rubbing a hand over his face.”....I should go see the doctor...I mean...even if they’re magical attacks, she might be able to figure out a way to block them...or something...”
 
James smiled at him. "you didn't get Natasha killed either." he promised him. "it took me a while, i'll admit but... it wasn't your fault." he promised. "she died because of a selfish, selfish asshole wanted to destroy everything you where trying to save." a mutant by the name of Apacalipto had killed her, trying to subvert all of humanity. starting with Tony. she had died, but so had Apacalipto. he wrapped his arms around Tony, holding him tight and refused to cry. "what good would a human doctor do? better find you a magical one." James pointed out once he'd sat back down, pretending he hadn't just hugged Tony.
 
“....I know. I mean....most of the time, I know. It’s only when she starts yelling at me that I have problems....It’s hard remembering that there was reasons I did this, and that I was doing the right thing, when I’m being yelled at....”Tony sighed quietly, smilinga little as he hugged the other back but letting go as soon as he moved away. “....Don’t know...I’ve just been going to the same doctor the whole time...but...you know, a magical doctor might help....”
 
James nodded. "yeah i can understand that." he agreed. "sucks when people start yelling at you." he admitted, grimacing. "the president's been bitching at me too." he admitted. "apparently i'm still not working fast enough for him, even though a caught thirteen more mutants last week." "do you really catch them?" "of course. i just don't throw them in prison. they're either moved oversees where people care a lot less about being born different, or their added to the Shield registers where they're more safe from persecution." James admitted. "that man is an asshole and i don't think he's gonna let up." he admitted. "a magical doctor would probably work a lot better. ask Thor to bring that smoking babe down. Frigga." Thor and Loki's mother. well, James had always liked older women.
 
"I've gotten luCky. Being...sick...has made pepper forbid any of them from talking to me.it's been quiet but I know I can't avoid it forsver..."tony sighed a little before looking at james."let him talk, he won't do anything just yet. And Europe's much less hung up on the mutant thing."tony explained shrugging a little before snorting in amusement."I'll do that,but it amuses me that you find thor's mother that good looking."he teased
 
James nodded, "Peppers a pretty neat Gal. i've never met a woman as terrifying as her." not even Natasha. but then, he'd practically raised Natasha himself so of course he wasn't scared of her. "no Tony. i think that the Goblin Bastard is up to something big..." James admitted, looking worried. "well. at least some of the kids are safe." Steve agreed, James nodding. "every couple of days, Charles Xavier sends me a group of kids to get to safety. they are rarely happy about it, but as long as they don't get slaughtered, they'll just have to deal with it." Steve nodded. "Frigga's hot, what can i say?" James asked, looking amused.
 
“Hm, she is fairly terrifying. It’s awesome.”tony snickered a little amused that he hadn’t found natasha terrifying. “...Dammit. I’ll keep looking. Hopefully I can figure out what Obsorne’s up to before he does anything.”Tony sighed a little worried even more then he had been before nodding. “They’re not happy, and I can’t keep as many as I’d like with shield, but we do what we can.”Tony said before shaking his head. “For a man who’s not nearly having as much sex as you used to, you find the most interesting people beautiful.”
 
James nodded. "it is pretty awesome." he agreed with a chuckle before shaking his head. "i wish i could give you more fo a clue than that, but honestly all i have is that he's with the president a lot, and i do mean a lot. every time he's alone with the president the asshole gets even more worked up so it can't be anything good." he admitted, running a hand through his hair. "better to be pissed than dead." James agreed. "hey, just because i've sworn an oath of celibacy, doesn't mean i can't look." James pointed out. he was too loyal to Natasha. maybe in a few more years he'd be okay to move on, start thinking about dating, but for now, his heart hurt too much. "so. Stevie... how'd you get here anyway?" "Magic." "oh yeah?" "yup. i was pretty shocked too. i wasn't really given any explanation at all you know? i was just told i had to fix things, and that He couldn't explain, and then i was here." he admitted, sulking. "stupid sorcerers anyway."
 
“...Damn. That’s just...damn. I’ll have to look into it more. It can’t be a good thing that he gets even more worked up each time.”Tony frowned as he stared down at the floor, indeed thinking hard about that. “Hmmm, I know, but teasing you about it is to amusing.”Tony said looking amused, though he understood the other’s reasons for being celibate, he still enjoyed teasing him. “....No, you mean stupid Jotun sorcerers, dont you?”He said looking at the ghost.
 
James nodded. "i'm going in again tomorrow." he admitted. "i'll leave one of your special bugs there if you like." he offered. before shrugging. "everyone teases me." he scoffed, rolling his eyes before tensing. "you know. it would make sense. Loki's dead, Steve is dead. who knows what sort of special death skills Loki has since his daughter is the ruler of the underworld. maybe Loki peeked in on us, didn't like what he saw and sent a de-aged Steve here to torment us back into shape?" James wondered. Steve shrugging. "i'm not allowed to say." a bit sneaky of Steve, since they'd automatically assume that meant they had it right, but better that then them realizing he was a time traveler.
 
“Awesome. Do it. Leave one in the hall to, and tag Osborne with one if you can, it’ll figure out where to hide so he can be listened in on.”Tony shrugged a little before pausing, staring at steve. “....That’s a...disturbing likely idea. I hadn’t thought of that.”He said looking disturbed at the thought before staring at steve harder, shaking his head. “You should just tell us.”He huffed.
 
he nodded. "i can do that. i'll tag the office, the hall, the president, and Osborn." he decided. "and i'll scatter a few more as i can." he promised. "should i use dome of the Self movers for you?" the 'self movers' where listening devices that Tony could reposition from anywhere he wanted, even from half a world away. "i hadn't either until just now." he admitted, shaking his head. "i'm sorry Tony i'm not allowed to say anything, i'm literally spelled to be unable to tell you anything." he lied. "i don't know what would happen if i tried." he admitted. and that wasn't a lie.
 
“Good. Maybe we’ll find something out then.”Tony said though he looked almost scared of what they were going to find out. Frowning slightly as he thought before nodding. “Do it. At least I can follow them i I need to.””Tony said before making a face at steve finishing his drink. “You are as much of a pain in the ass as always. Always playing by the rules.”he teased a little as he stood. “we probably should be going.”
 
James nodded. "i'll scatter a couple dozen walkers in one of the vents then and le you handle those." he decided. "or Jarvis, either or." he promised with a shrug. "sorry Tony. i might be yanked back if i tell you." he admitted. "and i don't think i've fixed what i've been sent here to fix yet." he admitted. "yeah. i'm tired and i have to deal with that fucktard in the morning." James grumbled, shaking his head. "i'll see you later yeah? and i'll text you once i have the bugs in position."
 
“Hm, it’ll be me. If I’m working pepper wont make me do paper work.”He snickered a little as he pulled on his jacket. “Fine. I’ll just keep guessing on what’s going on.”He said smiling a little before nodding. “Sounds good. Rest well, James. I’ll see you later.”Tony said as he let himself out sighing quietly as he headed back to the tower.
 
James snorted. "i ill never understand how she doesn't strangle you." he admitted, amused. "you go ahead and keep guessing Tony." he agreed with a chuckle, wrapping an arm around Tony as they walked out. "...Tony?... i was wondering... when did you first... you know. knew you had feelings for me?" he asked the man.
 
“this is kinda awkward you know. Wanna wrap a arm around you, but your not really there...its weird...”Tony muttered even if he leaned into the other a little as they got to the tower, going quiet for a moment, ducking his head. “...when I realized that you were more then the shield....when i realized you were genuinely upset that coulson’s cards had been ruined, not because they were vaulable or of you, but because they’d been important to him......I knew I had it even worse when the arc reactor shocked me back to the land of the living, and you gave me that stupid little smile and said we won....it was horrible.”he muttered.
