Seeing Ghosts(Avengers)Moon/Lady

"Yes it does. You're just a good looking 95 year old."Tony stated relaxing into the other before making a face."I did not!we had fun. Just cause I tire out..."he trailed off,upset at the idea of not pleasing steve and with the realization that extremis was going to fundamentally mean him and pepper were super soldiers. They'd be able to keep up."hm?.oh. yes we should. I like that."Tony said smiling as he moved towards pepper and Jason intending to bring it up
 
Steve smirked. "well at least i'm good looking." he admitted with a chuckle. "we did have fun." he agreed, smiling at Tony. "and i can't even sate myself Tony." he pointed out. "i get well and bored before i reach even close. and that's with the help of Chocolate." he admitted. "great." Steve chirped, smiling as he watched Tony go tell Pepper. pleased, now Tony would feel helpful and useful and wouldn't feel so guilty, the silly man. he knew withi the next twenty four hours, every last member of the Potts clan would be at the Tower to help. they where an amazing and loyal lot.
 
“Hm, you’re amazingly good looking.”Tony grinned before making a face, “Well, that’s true.I don’t feel bad then.”he laughed a little shaking his head slightly, grinning as he realized they were all settling in the tower. Well, at least they’d be there for pepper while he operated on himself. Now if he could just convince pepper and steve ot not watch the doctor take out the shrapnel, they’d be okay.
 
by the time the weekend appeared Tony had fixed up Extremis, even with all the distractions. it had taken little time. all of the Potts famil was there, taking care of, well, everyone while Tony got ready for his open heart surgery. in the end it was Bruce who did the operation, which was the only reason why Steve and Pepper stayed in the waiting room instead of in the observation room. by the tie Tony was out of the hospital, Jason could stand up on wobbly crutches. by the time Tony was fully healed, according to the files Bucky had sent with, The Soldier was just being woken from Cyro. Pepper promised to keep S.I. running while they searched for James and she made them promise to have lots of sex. like, a lot of sex. and to record it so she could watch. she'd turned into a nympho after the serum. so, Steve was packing up and fully intended to hit the main base, so they could get to James before they moved him.
 
Tony fidgeted and nervous as he got the suit ready to go, even knowing that they were doing the right thing, the man was still worried about unburying steve’s best friend. Even if he knew steve wanted him and pepper, well, his insecutries over steve’s love left him at a loss, even if he knew it was sharon he had to worry about stealing steve, not james. “Ready to go?”He asked, finishing packing his bag and the briefcase version of the suit.
 
Steve was nervous too. he knew James wouldn't be the man he remembered. not even a little bit, and he was even more worried because Sharon had finally approached him and offered him sultry pouts and eye batting. his head had gone all swimmy and he'd smiled at her before realized what he was doing and booked it. he'd told both Tony and Pepper of course, terrified that Sharon might be able to force him even though he knew what she was doing now. which was why he was now wearing a bracelet which would electrocute him when Jarvis, yes Jarvis, thought he was being too heavily influenced b Sharon. it worked. she'd offered him sultry glaces again and when Steve smiled back he'd been snapped it of it by a hell of a jolt. he never took it off now. "yeah. i think so." he admitted, buckling the bracelet a little more firmly into place. "are you sure it's okay to take so few weapons? we are marching on a Hydra compound... what if you get shot? what if i get shot?" he asked, nervous.
 
“Good.And don’t forget that.”Tony muttered looking pleased to see the other wearing his bracelet, nervous despite everything more about getting james back then storming the castle. It was going to be interesting. “I’m sure. Besides, you have your shield and suit, and I have my armor, I’ll suit up when we get closer. We’re driving there.”Tony said fidgeting, wrapping a arm around the other’s waist, leaning into him.”It’s going to be bad, but you met him in the future, you know how bad it’s going to be bad....and if we get hurt, we’ve both been upgraded with a amazing healing ability. We’ll be okay.”
 
Steve nodded. "i never take it off except to shower." he admitted. "i'd wear it in the shower but the first time was once enough." Jarvis had to alert Tony and Pepper that Steve was being electrocuted in the shower and they had to drag him out. "driving?" he asked, looking startled before grinning. "cool. road trip." he agreed before wincing. "the man i met in the future had a good many years to adjust, and even then he hated everything and everyone." he pointed out. "this James is going to be very different." he admitted. "i just hope he's not. i dunno. rabid or something." he admitted. "he wasn't exactly forthcoming on his information." he admitted shaking his head. "besides, a bullet to the head still kills us Tony." he mumbled. "i just feel like we should be bringing either bigger weapons or more backup..."
 
“Hm, yea definitely was to much.”Tony shuddered at the memory of that experience before nodding. “I had thought about flying us both, but DC is a long trip hanging onto the suit, so I’d rather just drive.”She shrugged, smiling a little as they headed for the garage, settling itno the sports car. “I know, but you know it’s going to be bad...”He shrugged a little, before sighing quietly. “Do you want me to call clint and natasha? They’re on the helicarrier, but they can meet us in DC.”
 
"true. i'm kind of surprised you don't have your own jet." he admitted, looking amused. "the X-men have a jet." he teased. "but yeah Driving would probably be best." he agreed. "i don't know..." Steve admitted with a sigh. "maybe call them and ask them to be on standby?" he asked nervously. "maybe see if Loki won't keep an eye on us?" Loki, amusingly enough, had enjoyed being a personal secretary to Tony so much, was now working as Pepper's P.A. at S.I.
 
“I do, but taking the corporate jet seemed a little overkill just for the two of us.”Tony smiled a little as he drove, rolling his eyes. “The x-men are overrated.”He said before nodding, reaching out and dialing, smirking as he did a three way call so they could all talk and get opinions. “Assassin twins, Reindeer games, we’re on our way to DC.” “So Bruce said. We’re here and waiting in case you need help.”Natasha said having predicted that the men would call eventually when they realized they’d probably need backup.
 
he chuckled. "you have a point." he agreed with a smile before snickering. "the X-men are overrated." he couldn't help but feel bad for them though, considering most of them where dead in the future. but Loki had a plan for that already apparently. spurned by Steve's comments that it was like Neo Nazi all over again, Loki had stepped up and written a very impressive argument about the U.S government and how there where laws against discrimination and bigotry. after all if you hated a mutant, it was bigotry because they couldn't help being born. the mutant registration act was slapped down hard after that. "i am well aware of where you are Tony, you where there when i cast health, tracking, and monitoring wards on you and Steve, remember?" Loki asked, huffing. "now if you don't mind, i'm doing YOUR Paperwork." and with that he'd hung up, making Clint laugh. "he's turned into a monster you know." Clint complained.
 
“I always have a point.”Tony snickered a little before nodding.”They are, but loki did well getting things fixed, at least it’ll be easier setting the world right.”Tony said hating hismelf for supporting and defending the act the first time around, feeling sick. Well aware that the fact he had had probably upset and sickened him as much the first time around, and yet he’d tried to do the best, tried to make things better. “I know, just making sure. By loki.”Tony said rolling his eyes as he laughed softly. “He did, but it means I didn’t have to my own paperwork, so it’s good.”Tony snickered swallowing thickly. “we’ll see you two in awhile.”He said. “See you then.”Natasha said as he hung up. “Well, at least we’re not totally alone.”Tony said a quiet relief to the words, feeling better at the backup, more worried about going after james then what he thought
 
Steve chuckled a little. "i would have paid to see Senator Kelly sweating as Loki accused him of being a bigot trying to push his Supremacist ways onto the Congress floor." Steve admitted with a snigger. Loki, disguised as a blond haired blue eyed white male of American ethnicity, had walked circles around them. he'd chosen that disguise because everyone was a bit bigoted and would respond to that physical appearance more than any other. Steve didn't miss the Irony. "it will be much easier." Steve admitted. "from what i understand, no one stood up for mutant rights save other mutants and the bill was passed. by the time the superhero registration act was footed there was no other options." he admitted. "from what i understand your older self saved over 2.6 billion people in the American country." he admitted. "i know that any mutants James 'caught' where then shipped to another country where they could claim asylum and a change of citizenship." he admitted before grinning when Loki huffed at them and hung up. "thanks Natasha, Clint." Steve said, looking much more confident now. he too had been very worried. but Natasha and Clint where unbeatable. if he and Tony couldn't rescue James, then Natasha and Clint certainly could. "Doughnut?" he offered Tony, amused at the 'lunch pail' that Phil had packed for them. "i worry about that man sometimes...."
 
"I'm sure if we looked we could find video of it. Loki was amusing as he recounted his speech."Tony snickered as he thought about it before nodding."we all stayed separate from what I understand...we worked together but didn't try to help each other until it was to late..."tony sighed a little. To looking relieved to know Natasha and clint where there. As hard as him and steve were to beat, the assassin twins were so much more. Nodding as he took a doughnut he snickered."me to. Did clint ever tell you about the doughnuts at the gas station on their way to pick up thor?"he snickered as he hit the highway,tring to relax the closer they got to their destination
 
Steve snickered and nodded. "very amusing." he agreed. "yeah. i mean, Loki tried to help everyone but when it became clear that there was no choice but to choose sides he chose yours. Natasha, Clint and Phil took our side too and James followed me because..." he shrugged. "the X-men, Spiderman, even the villains all chose sides. fuck even Magneto and the Brotherhood and the X-men took my side until they realized all they where doing was dying." he admitted, closing his eyes. "we won't let that happen again. not even if we have to kill every single congressman in power." he admitted. "we could blame it on terrorists." he admitted. "no he didn't." he admitted. "what happened?" he asked curiously. "i thought he was going after the Hammer?"
 
“we just tore the world between us didn’t we?”Tony sighed softly looking over at the other, shifting his hand, sliding his hand into the other’s, squeezing a little. “But we’re together this time. It wont happen.”She sighed quietly before snickering. “Well, he was, but since the hammer was thor’s, he was going after thor in a round about way.....anyways, they stopped for gas you know?Nice and normal thing, clint’s past out in the backseat, and phil goes in to get some snacks....anyways, the convience store gets held up, and phil beat up the guys with doughnuts and his tie. Clint said it was the most awesome thing he’d ever seen.”
 
he nodded. "i think so. yes. i can't say it never would have happened if Sharon hadn't gotten her claws into me, but.... i think it probably would have. before i went to the future i was so disgusted with myself..." he admitted with a sigh. "that trip to the future? it was exactly the hard slap across the face i needed." he admitted, smiling at Tony. "we can change things for the better now." he admitted. "things will be better. no matter what." he admitted before he chuckled. "true." he smiled as he listened to Tony chatter about Phil. "seriously? he beat the bad guys up with doughnuts? no wonder he's the ultimate Agent." he scoffed, amused.
 
“...well. It’s a good thing you went to the future then. Spared us both that.”Tony smiled a little before nodding. “It will be better.”He said smiling before snickering. “Seriously. I told clint I wanted video before I believed it though.”Tony snickered a little, smirking as he pulled into the hotel that he’d gotten for them, looking nervous. Knowing they were minutes away from finding the brunette.”You ready for this?”He said thickly, nervous about finding james.
 
he chuckled a little. "yes. i have to remember to thank Loki for it at some point." he admitted with a sigh. "although, to be honest i don't think i was spared a damn thing. i still had to see you...." he swallowed thickly. "aching... constantly because of what i did, what i could do to you." he admitted softly. "i don't think i could ever bare to see you look at me with eyes like that ever again." he admitted before snorting. "did he get the video?" he asked curiously before swallowing thickly. "...no." he admitted, terrified of looking for James. what would happen? who would get hurt? what would he be like? could anything really be done to save James? "...i'm scared." Steve finally admitted, staring across the street where they where keeping James. was he even awake yet? Steve didn't think so. Bucky hadn't been too sure on the dates, but they only moved James out of Cyro just after the mess with Extremis. because Tony with a version of the Super Serum made them jumpy and skittish, it was only after Fury demanded the halt to the... project? that they switched targets. so was James even awake? if he wasn't, what then? if he was, would the man fight back? he was scared.
 
“We will....and well...that’s true....I guess. But you aren’t having to live through it all again like this, and we know what we have to change. How we need to be together. We wont mess it up, cap. I’ll spare you what we can.”Tony smiled softly before nodding. “He did. It was epic.”Tony snickered a little. “...Well. We can just stay here, and wait, until we’re ready then.”Tony said swallowing thickly, “Me to....and not for the obvious things. I mean. I’m seriously worried what happens if I can’t wake him up. Or if I fuck him up by pretending to know what I’m doing...”Tony muttered frowning, staring at the wheel even as he turned off the car, because he wasn’t about to admit to what was really bothering him. He wasn’t stupid, he knew steve’s reaction to that, and just wanted to avoid it.
 
he nodded. "we'll fix things." he agreed. "we will. we'll make this a world worth living in." he decided before smiling at him, looking a bit shaky. "yeah. let's just sit here a bit." he agreed, trying to gather his courage. "even if you don't know how, there will be books and things on it. users manuals and stuff." he admitted. "so you can read those and know what your doing because your brilliant." he admitted, taking a deep breath. "come on. let's go rescue James." he ordered, smirking. "did i mention he and Natasha where supposed to get married?" he asked Tony.
 
Tony smiled a equally shaky smile before nodding, working on his own courage before snickering. “You sound oddly sure that I’m always brilliant, even if I am brilliant. I’m never that sure about it.”Tony made a face before nodding, taking his own deep breath before looking startled. “REally?”He asked as he suited up.
 
he chuckled a little. "i am sure your always brilliant. annoying, narcissistic, a brat, spoiled, but always brilliant, always kind and always there when we need you most." he admitted with a smile. "yup... unfortunately Natasha died before they could." he admitted softly. "she died saving you from some mutant super-villain who claimed his name was Apacalipto, so we need to watch out for him." he admitted, picking up his shield and pulling on his cowl. "re you ready?" he asked, staring at the short, squat building across the street. it was time. there was no hiding anymore. they would be the ones making the first move this time. "Clint and Natasha will be fifteen minutes behind us." they where already there, waiting. fifteen minutes after Steve and Tony went in, they would follow. just in case.
 
“....You listing all my bad qaulities, aren’t makign me feel great about myself you know.”Tony whined a little before wincing. “Well, we’ll have to make sure she gets to her wedding this time.”Tony smiled as he little before nodding. “As I ever will be.”He said as they headed in, growling quietly as they found guards and hydra agents, for the moment forgetting everything else, because despite everything, he liked the fighting, and gave himself over even as he started searching for the soldier.
