Seeing Ghosts(Avengers)Moon/Lady

“....James Barnes is one of us. Always will be.”Tony said simply, not about to go into detail on the idea, letting the other assume it was about who james was to steve, not tony’s loyalty about the good james would do in the future, the loyalty the two had found in working together. “It is.”Tony said glancing up from the slender chain that really looked more like a necklace then collar. “Don’t worry, it’s not as fragile as it looks. Once its on, its not coming off.”

“We’ll get him to help.”Natasha said looking pleased at the idea smiling slightly as they walked into the rooms, looking amused as james looked around him before taking a deep breath, glancing at the other. “...I’ll be okay....and...yes. but...I’ll be okay.”She said taking a deep breath.
 
Grant blinked, looking a little startled, confused. "you've never even met him." "...James Buchanan Barnes. Sergeant of the 107th Infantry 32557038. Second in Command of the Howling Commandos. Childhood friend." Steve stated simply, looking back at Grant. "Bucky and i lived together, served together and we'd have died together if i hadn't been a fuck up." he admitted simply. "oh..." Grant muttered, stunned. "i wasn't all that worried." Grant said dryly. he knew they wouldn't let him escape. he could only hope they kept their word and let him go back to Garret at the end of a year. "...what's this?" Grant asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer as he examined a round metal ball. though he didn't touch, he knew better than to touch something without permission, particularly when a genius was involved.

Clint smiled when James looked around the room before returning his attention to Natasha, waiting for an instruction or an order. "are you sure?" he asked her, setting a hand on her shoulder. "if it hurts too much, i'll take care of him instead, okay?" he asked her before smiling at James. "so! food." he decided, James blinking at him. there was even an order code for James to cook and do house chores, but it was Clint who started making the food. James, surprisingly, started following Clint around, like a lost puppy, eyes taking in every detail of what Clint was doing, as if memorizing how to cook for later. Clint could only smile, pleased that James wasn't just a mindless robot.
 
“Don’t have to.”Tony shrugged a little, before smiling slightly at steve,”you okay?”He muttered worried about the other man, before smiling slightly, “Beginnings of a suit. Created flexible metal, but can’t figure out how to make it strong enough to handle battle.”Tony said picking up the ball and squishing it, smirking as it changed colors and metals. “It’s the perfect chamelon, but not exactly what I was going for when I created it.”Tony sulked a little.

“I am...I think.”Natasha said taking a deep breath before swallowing hard, “Okay. If it is...okay.”She muttered swallowing thickly, trying to be okay. This would be okay really. Looking amuesd as james followed clint, settling at the table to watch them. “Do you enjoy cooking, james?”She said softly. Having found that he did, but not sure how much he was there yet, needing to figure out how to take care of him.
 
Steve nodded. "i'm fine." he promised Tony with a smile. "a suit?" Grant asked before nodding, Iron Man suit. "....wow." he muttered impressed before his eyes gleamed. "Stark... you made an invisibility cloak." Steve snorted, Grant Ward, assassin and 'specialist' read Harry Potter. who knew? "you could paint it onto the suit though, like when they gold plate something." Grant admitted. "it would still work then wouldn't it? if your going for Stealth anyway." he admitted. "can i play with it?" he asked, examining the metal based silly putty in Tony's hands.

Clint nodded. "okay." he agreed, smiling at her before letting James follow him about. James looked over at her and blinked, his head tilted to the side as if he wasn't sure she had spoken words before he nodded ad turned his attention back to Clint. "do you wanna try..." Clint nearly leaped out of his skin when, just like that, James took over the kitchen. "...well okay then." Clint said, looking ore than a little startled. James was a master of the kitchen. where Steve had gone to school for Art classes. the short year they could afford it, James had gone to culinary classes. he had wanted to open his own restaurant.
 
“Yea, my suit.”Tony said not even registering for a minute that grant hadn’t known what he was talking about. “I know right?I’m awesome, and I should totally go down in history as the better then the boy wizard, I mean, I’ve defeated death all on my own.”Tony snickered, which was just amusing, the stark heir and prodigy son had read harry potter. “Yea, it would work like that.”Tony said thoughtfully smirking. “I’ll let you play with anything you want.”he said with a perverted leer, if only because he liked yanking steve’s chain sometimes.

Natasha laughed amused at clint’s surprise, amusement bright in her features as she watched james take over the kitchen.”he’s always liked cooking. Steve said something about him going to school for it.”Natasha smiled a little.
 
Grant snorted a little and rolled his eyes. "Tony. the Collar?" Steve reminded the man, looking amused. "flirt with the pretty man later." he ordered, making Grant blink, and then blink again before realizing Tony had been flirting with him! he flushed bright red."i don't spread my legs, not for anyone." Grant snapped, making Steve shrugged. "didn't say you did. i just said Tony was a flirt."Steve stated, wondering why Grant didn't look like he believed them. oh, of course, Hydra. they used James like a sex toy so no doubt they'd tried it with Grant too. Grant did play with the metal putty though, looking amazed and delighted as he stretched and pulled and squished.

Clint chuckled a little. "it looks like no matter how hard they try, they can't erase everything. they must misdirect it instead." he mused. "what are you making James?" he asked, baffled at the ingredients. "Minestrone, Ceaser Salad, Canapes, Spanakopita, Salt crusted Trout, Glazed Brussels sprouts, Asparagus in sauce, Lemon Pepper carrots, Lamb in mint sauce with stuffing and sweet corn, Baked Alaska, Macaroons, and Eclairs." James recited obediently. "uh. for how many people?" Clint asked, looking stunned when James paused, calculated in his head. "eight to ten people." "....oh..."
 
“oh!Yes.here.”Tony said putting the collar on the man, settling it to the right length before locking it in place, loose enough to not be choking, but not loose enough to slide off. “Does that mean I can’t flirt with you?”Tony muttered before looking at grant, startled frowning a little. “I don’t have sex with random people. Don’t worry about your virtue.”

“Makes sense. His combat training was redirected and honed into being wetwork skills. Makes sense.”Natasha shrugged a little before looking startled at the answer, before smiling slightly. “Well, its a good thing we’re at the tower, plenty of people to feed.”
 
Grant fidgeted unhappily but let Tony slip it on. he didn't like the idea of being chained in place. forced to obey. hed do it though, for James and for Garret. "i would rather you didn't." Grant said, voice dry and bitter before he snorted. "i'd be more worried about having your dick cut off." Steve admitted. "he seams to be the sort of person to fight for his virtue." he admitted. "damn straight." Grant admitted. "what's that?" Grant asked, eying up another little doohicky within arms reach, Steve snorting.

"wet work?" Clint asked, looking amused. "i an case it looks more like every single thing he does has been forced behind a code. he can't access them on his own." he mused. "that's what it looks like from the way they explained it here." he admitted, examining his Tablet. "it doesn't seam to work as well as they thought it did, he shouldn't be cooking without the cooking code." he admitted. "might not be so hard to snap him out of this as we thought it would be." he mused. "from what i gather, part of him still knows who he is. he's just hiding it so they can't take it away. he might start to assert more dominance over himself once he realizes we don't want him for..." he looked a bit sick. "any of this..." he said, waving the Tablet about.
 
“Fine. I’ll flirt with my captain and just go with that.”Tony snickered a little, glancing up at steve before studying Grant. “...You’re right. He’s going to go under the same heading that natasha is. People not even to attempt to have sex with.”Tony snickered laughing as he started to explain anything grant picked up, utterly in his element at having someone to chat at, who wanted to know about the stuff he made.

“...Don’t laugh.”Natasha twitched blushing a little.”...Did you know Tony reads spy novels?Like classic spy novels, that have interesting words for everything?”natasha snickered before nodding. “No he shouldn’t, but he was always breaking the training the longer he was off ice. They couldn’t delete, or completely lock out who he was, simply restrict it...except like this, some things come through.”Natasha said before nodding, looking sick herself. “Hopefully, once he does, it’ll be easier.”
 
Steve smirked. "you can flirt with Pepper too of course." he admitted with a chuckle before examining Grant curiously. "i'll take that as a compliment." Grant decided before happily settling in to listen to Tony ramble about all the awesome things he'd made. he ended up falling asleep on the counter helping Tony work on one of his gizmos. he looked oddly peaceful sleeping like that.

"i did know. yes." he admitted, looking very amused indeed. "well it does make sense. the human mind isn't meant to be repressed so much." he admitted. "they can't contain him because his mind, his brain doesn't allow it." he chuckled a little watching James cook. "he seams happy at least. we should show him the communal kitchen later, he'll get a kick out of the four ovens." he admitted with a grin. they needed the space, otherwise there wouldn't be enough food on those 'let's have a team dinner' nights Steve and Pepper sometimes demanded.
 
“OF course. But you get to be with pepper to, that doesn’t count.”Tony whined a little before tilting his head, amused at grant’s reaction. When the other fell asleep he looked up at steve, smiling slightly. “You want to carry him upstairs, or put him in the bed down here?”

“Someday, we’re going to have to surprise him with one or something.”Natasha snickered a little before nodding. “Not to mention he’s a super soldier, his brain was probably healing and rebelling more then normal.”Natasha said thoughtfully before snickering. “He would.”She said glancing at the other. “You almost done with the food?Cap’s probably dragging tony out of the lab for food by now...”
 
Steve grinned. "that's true." he admitted with a chuckle before smiling at Grant. "he is kind of cute. like a little kid." he admitted. "we should wake him up. i doubt he's had anything to eat and Clint texted me that James is cooking." he admitted. "he went to culinary school you know. he has the best cooking skills ever." he admitted, gently shaking Grant awake. "hey. food time. up and at em." he said, Grant groaning when he sat up, rubbing his eyes. "i fell asleep.. sorry..."

"i really don't think we can surprise Tony." he admitted. "he has Jarvis after all, we'd have to convince Jarvis to keep quiet about it first." he admitted with a grin. "food is ten minutes." James stated, checking on the various things as he tossed the salad and stirred the soup and baked things. he was quite content in the kitchen. he would be cooking a lot.
 
“He is.Though I wouldn’t call him a kid.”Tony snickered a little before nodding. “I know. Dad told me about what amazing things he could do with rations. I’m curious to see what he does with real food.”Tony said with a smile snickering as grant woke slowly. “It’s okay. I put even my nearest and dearest to sleep when I start talking to them.”He snickered a little as he headed for the door to leave.

“I’m sure we can.”Natasha snickered,”Besides, this would be just a joke, Jarvis wouldn’t tell him, would you J?” “It does Sir good to be surprised every once in awhile as long as he’s not harmed.”Jarvis answered. “I think he’s going to be cooking alot in here.”Natasha said thoughtfully.
 
"he is a kid. he's thirty two yes, but if what i saw in his files was true? he never had a chance to become a ful functioning adult." he admitted. "he was never allowed to be a child either." he admitted. "i think they, all of them, just wanted him to be an obedient dog of sorts." he admitted. "he doesn't take well to be given straight up orders though." he admitted before smiling when Grant woke up and blinked at Tony. "just tired." he admitted. "i haven't slept in two days. Garret had me up all day and night memorizing." he admitted. "i was supposed to be secondary handler. Alexander Pierce was to be the first handler." he admitted. "so i had to know every last code." he yawned and scrubbed at his face.

"well. that's true. we could fill his room full of ping pong balls too." he admitted with a grin. "that would be pretty fun." he admitted. "of course, we have to be careful not to over-prank him, the last thing we need is to start a prank war." he admitted before smiling. "i think he'd like that actually. we'll have to start with getting him the ingredients he's going to need. maybe start him out with making lists that someone can go and shop for or something... hey Tony, Steve, Grant." he chirped when the men walked in, Steve smiling when he saw James checking the soup and the stuff in the oven.
 
“Ah, that makes sense. Pepper tells me all the time I’m making up for a lost childhood.”Tony snickered a little, smiling slightly before wincing at the idea. Because his father had wanted a dog, and instead gotten tony, his brilliant amazing tony. “...Two days?That’s it!?Shameful, really.”Tony scolded teasingly, smilign slightly. “Ignore him, he stays up for days on end, so don’t feel bad.”Bruce said snickering as he joined them on their way upstairs.

“Hm, that would be awesome.”Natasha agreed smirking a little before wincing, “We do. Otherwise, he’ll ask loki to join in, and then we’ll all get schooled in how to do pranks.”She snickered a little. “If he plans dinners, we can go get what he wants.”Tony said smiling a little as he shrugged looking interested as he watched james.
 
Steve nodded. "i wouldn't doubt it." he admitted with a smile. "a lot of us here in the tower never got to have a childhood." he admitted before blinking when Tony winced. "not used to staying up." Grant admitted with a yawn and a shake of his head. "besides, i don't get hyper like you do." he admitted.

"....yeah, no getting Loki involved." "involved in what, i wonder?" Loki asked, suddenly leaning into Clint's personal space. "how many times do i have to tell you that names have power?" he asked, smirking at him. "you call, i come. that's how it works." he pointed out. "oh for.. get off me Loki!" Clint commanded, scowling when Loki just laughed. "what don't you want me involved in little ducklings? are you planning mischief?" Loki asked, eyes glittering eagerly at the idea of pranks before he was derailed by the appearance of James, his head tilted. "well. i didn't see that one." he admitted, eyes flicking from James to Grant before focusing on Steve who shrugged. "....hmm... i think this will turn out very well." he admitted, smirking. "holy fuck that's Loki, Trickster God and psychopath! what's he doing here?" "planning mischief i'm not allowed to get involved in." Loki admitted. "....are we going to be invaded again?" "no. that was boring. and painful." Loki admitted, sulking. "and humiliating..."
 
Tony sighed, waving off steve’s look a little, not wanting to go into his childhood trauma before smirking.”I don’t get hyper.”Tony snickered.

Natasha laughed as loki crowded clint, smirking a little. “He’s very forgetful. You’ll have to keep reminding him.”she teased before smirking. “We are.On Tony, and Jarvis has agreed to not tell him.”She smirked. “Yes it is. And no he’s not. We all know you’re going to get involved in whatever mischief is being made.”Tony pointed out rolling his eyes before sighing, “He’s a houseguest as his brother is currently offworld and ruling asgard, so we got saddled with the annoyance.”Tony teased.
 
Loki chuckled a little and nodded. "i'm sure. oh well, at least he stopped screaming my name in the middle of Sex." "I never did! you take that back!" Clint demanded, which only made Loki laugh ad shake his head. "Jarvis never tattles when Pranks are afoot." he admitted with a smile. "ad of course i get involved when there's mischief. god of Chaos after all." he paused and then. "speaking of which, there's going to be a massive Earthquake later." he warned. being a god of Chaos he could sense such chaotic events coming. "in a week i believe." he admitted. "it's going to cause a tidal wave. location is unknown at the moment but you might want to start warning people." he admitted before smiling at Tony. "you love me." he teased, blinking when James handed out the salads. "oooh! it has cheese in it." Loki stated, fully distracted. "and egg! and!... what are these?" "Sardines." "fish!" Loki was always delighted to find new earth foods. "what is this?" "Caesar Salad. traditionally made. "it's delicious! i like this!" Loki said, looking amazed.
 
“....Really?”Natasha smirked raising a eyebrow as she considered the other. “True, though you tend to make more pranks then originally planned and....Jarvis?Let everyone know.”Tony said to used to loki warning them about things to really be disturbed at it, smilign slightly as the AI put in the calls to the right people. “Do not. You can’t be spreading such horrible lies, loki.”Tony grumbled laughing as loki became distracted, looking up at steve.”Why do I think james is going to be feeding loki more then the rest of us?Loki’s going to get fat.”He said with wide eyed fake horror.
 
Clint snorted. "as if Phil would ever let me scream someone else's names during Sex. besides, i've never been tazed by him so you know it's true." he pointed out. "you know he takes pictures of the people he's left drooling on the carpet." he pointed out. "he has them all in a nice photobook that he calls 'the Book of awesome'." he admitted with a grin when Loki started to laugh. "i am a God, i do what i want." he sniffed before smiling, pleased at having a personal chef. "honestly Tony, how many times has Loki explained this? any calories he doesn't need get converted to magical energy which is stored for a later power boost or for calories when he has to go through extended periods without eating?" Steve asked, looking amused as he munched on his own Salad. next was an oyster stew which was just as good as the salad. the rest followed and by the end of the meal everyone was stuffed and well satisfied and James was looking ver pleased with himself as he finished off the last of his baked Alaska and Macaroons.
 
“Very true. Though I think he should have tazed you a few times over the years.”Natasha snickered shaking her head in amusement.”And I still find it amazing tony’s not found his way into the book.” “I’m just good like that. And I know, but I’m still sure he’s going to get fat someday!I mean, he’s tiny. He’s going to get fat.”Tony said sulking a little at being teased even as he ate. By the time the meal was done, he was leaning back in his seat, his stomach bulging ever so slightly from stuffing himself full.
 
Steve chuckled a little. "he did try, but Tony is damn fast." he admitted, chuckling a little as Loki smirked and proceeded to eat whatever anyone else didn't finish. James was very much enjoying having Loki around. "that was delicious James, thank you." Steve admitted, with a smile. "yes, thank you. if you want to make anything else but don't have the ingredients, write anything you need down and we'll get it for you. talent like this is certainly to be encouraged." Clint admitted with a grin when James beamed happily and set about to do the dishes. "no, you cooked, Steve and me will do the dishes. Tony wants to look at your arm to make sure it's functioning properly. go with Tony and Natasha okay?" he asked James who nodded and moved over to Tony and Natasha, obediently following them. Tony would find that the metal arm was a tangled piece of shit that caused James pain any time it moved. James was so used to the pain it didn't bother him, but that was besides the point. honestly it was barely functioning and a any repairs done where sloppy and done by someone who clearly didn't know what they where doing.
 
“Super fast. I’m a super spy.”Tony grinned. “Thanks Jamie.”Tony said as he finished, glancing up at the other, smiling at how pleased he was at the idea. “I do.That arm looks a mess.”Tony said and by the time steve came down to check on them, tony was in a manic, annoyed mess, and obviously not listening to anyone or anything as he worked on a new arm, looking utterly cute in the fact that he was being so upset with the piece of shit arm. Obviously having problems getting things just right. “...I don’t think you’re going to be able to drag him away. He’ll probably give up sex to work.”Natasha muttered looking up at steve with a smirk.
 
James paused, looking confused at the nickname, as if he wasn't sure that was him or not before he smiled brightly at the other and resumed trying to clean up until he was given other orders. "i assumed so." Steve admitted, smiling at Natasha before he grabbed Tony, forcing him to hold still for a moment. "do you need James to stay? he's very tired and needs to go to bed soon." he explained. "i'd rather he slept in a proper bed, i don't think he's had one since Hydra got their hands on him." he admitted. "Grants already out like a light." Steve admitted, smiling at Tony. "do you need James to stay?" he asked again.
 
Natasha snickered a little, smiling slightly at tony, even as he tried to squirm away from his captain. “He’s not listening.”She said realizing that tony was so far gone, he couldn’t hear. “...Cap?uh, no. He can go.”Tony said finally processing what we being asked of him, wincing as he realized how long he’d kept them down here. “Yea, go ahead.I’ll be up later.”
