Seeing Ghosts(Avengers)Moon/Lady

she nodded. "i know. i would too." she admitted with a shake of his head. "i've tried getting him here several times but he won't come. i'm hoping the news that it was all Sharon might weaken his stubborn ass a bit." she admitted before snorting. "ou were too." she scoffed. "i know better Tony Stark." she admitted, wagging her finger at him before smiling when Steve slid through the door, visible for once. "how are you feeling Tony?" Steve asked. "you where hurt pretty bad..."
 
“....Well. That just means I’ll have to go visit him. I mean, he’s not moved his ass out of that shitty brooklyn apartment, refuses to leave. Easy enough to find him.”Tony grumbled rolling his eyes at pepper, but not bothering to protest as he leaned over to nip at the pad of her finger as she wagged it at him, “I’m okay. Sore and definitely worried that I’m so easily persuaded, but okay...”Tony said already moving to get up, now that he knew what he wanted to do, he had every intention of doing it.
 
Pepper smirked. "you know. that might very well be a good idea." she admitted with a chuckle before offering him a scowl when he nipped at her. clearly his attempts at playfully distracting her where going to fail. "hey! e was honest!" Steve gasped. "he didn't like about being in pain!" "i trained him well." Pepper said smugly. "in any case, i'm just as easily persuaded as you are Tony. at least you didn't turn your back on everything you know and love just because a dame with a pretty face stroked my arm. stupid little cunt..." he grumbled unhappily before glaring at Tony. "your not allowed to get up yet." he ordered firmly. "not until a doctor sees to you." "it's alright Steve. he's fine." Pepper promised. "the doctor looked him over again before Tony even woke up. he's clear to leave the bed." "oh. okay then."
 
“It’s such a good idea I’m going to do it as soon as I get out of bed.”Tony agreed pouting a little as she scowled at him, definitely being adorable to try and distract her. “...I’m always honest. Pepper kicks my ass if I don’t.”Tony sulked a little. “...well...I guess. But you did realize it was wrong after. And she’s not that pretty. Sorta....disturbing really, considering how much she looks like her aunt. It’d be like having sex with a doppleganger...”Tony said twitching a little before looking up at him. “I’m director of shield, I’m getting out of bed and I have a superhero to see to, adn so do you. So come along.”Tny said smirking a little as he got up, heading for the door.
 
Pepper smirked a little. "good. see if you can't talk some sense into him." she ordered. "...she's Peggy's niece?" he asked, looking surprised. "i didn't even know Peggy had family." a younger brother to be exact. "it is creepy. i can tell you right now id never have slept with her if she hadn't been influencing me." he admitted. "any beauty she has is all superficial." he admitted with a shake of his head. "she's a disgusting woman and i hope she dies in prison." he admitted before narrowing his eyes at Tony. "i'm a ghost who can posses you to MAKE you behave if i feel like it." he warned, but didn't stop Tony, following him to the private Jet.

to say James was not happy to see Tony when he opened the door was like saying a biker in a bar was a 'little' tough. he took one look at Tony, told him he was a 'ass hat' and slammed the door shut again, locking it for good measure. Steve snickered, slid through the door, unlocked it and opened it for Tony, ignoring the way James was gaping at him.
 
“Hm, I’ll try, though he’s more liable to break my nose or something.”Tony said shrugging a little. “Did you not wonder why her last name was carter?”Tony snickered a little before nodding.”Younger brother.”He said before smiling a little, “That’s good to know...that you wouldn’t have married her.”He said slightly sad before twitching, “Nooo don’t do that. That’s extremely disturbing you know. That idea.”Tony shuddered a little at the idea.

Smirking as he was called names, he shook his head a little before laughing outloud as steve opened the door. “Thanks steve.”He smirked a little, tilting his head. “Hello james. You’re being a stubborn ass. I figured this was better then arresting you and dragging you to the tower.”He smirked a little.
 
Steve sorted. "there's about a thousand reasons. artificial insemination, bastard born daughter, divorced her husband, husband dead, daughter didn't like her father." Steve listed off. "last of the Carter name ad didn't want to lose it. shall i go on?" he asked, amused. "Tony i wouldn't even have looked at her twice." he huffed. "it HURTS looking at her and seeing the biggest regret in my entire freaking life." he admitted. "i know, isn't it? kind of awesome too." he admitted with a grin.

Steve chuckled and James glared at them. "i don't want you here. get the fuck out." "yuppy pup." Steve scoffed. "you look good James. now that i can talk to you." he admitted. "herd you where living in New Jersey you bum." "it was the only place you wouldn't look for me. i thought it was rather inspired." "clearly you underestimated me." "....you look good Steve... i... i'm sorry for the part i played..." "nothing to be sorry for. Sharon's the one who needs to be sorry and she's too much of a bitch to know better."
 
“.....it’s disturbing you thought of all that.”Tony said snickering a little before shaking his head. “No, it’s okay. You can stop.”He said smiling a little at the other’s promise, it made it hurt a little less, knowing it hadn’t been steve’s choice to abandon him. “Yes, as long as it’s not me your doing it to.”Tony snickered a little.

“No. You;ve avoided me for weeks, you two needed to talk.”Tony shrugged a little smirking slightly. “No one wants to live in new jersey, there’s something wrong about you choosing to move here.”Tony teased rolling his eyes watching the two friends. “She really is to much of a bitch...”he said making a face at that.
 
"how is it disturbing? i married the woman of course i'm going to think about it." he scoffed before chuckling a little. "are you sure you don't want to try? it's supposed to be very... intimate." he purred playfully.

James huffed. "i was avoiding you for a freaking reason Stark! get the fuck out of my apartment!" he ordered, annoyed that he was being ignored. "no one likes New Jersey, not even me. it was a self imposed Exile." he admitted. "her father wasn't much better." James admitted, startling Steve. "you met Peggy's brother? i never even knew that she had one." "yeah he dropped by one night, begging her for some cash. he flipped his lid, screaming at her when she refused. claimed she had no family honor. he was a bit of a spoiled shit who seamed to think he didn't have to work for his money and was enraged that Peggy did work for hers, and had a nice job to boot." "....so it's hereditary?" "probably."
 
“....Yes. I’m very sure.”Tony shuddered a little.

“Well, as it is a stupid ass reason, I’m ignoring it. Besides, you and steve need to talk about why he’s here and stuff, so yea.”Tony shrugged a little before sighing. “You know, the only decent one out of that family seems to be peggy.”Tony rolled his eyes a little settling down to simply watch the two, glad to see the two friends talking, even if steve wasn’t giving him any more clues on why he really was here and how it was going to effect everything. having hoped that giving steve someone else to talk to, it might make steve slip up and tell him something he didnt already know
 
James snorted. "you got that from Fury." he scoffed at Tony before giving Steve an anxious look. clearly waiting to be torn into for his behavior, for his being the new captain, for daring to be alive while Steve had died. "you'd be right. Peggy's parents where the same way. extremely petty and jealous tht other people had more money than them." Steve admitted. "they both had jobs, and back then it was pretty off to have both parents working. she was a waitress and he was a gas station attendant. both kept getting fired because they where too lazy to work honestly." he admitted. "Peggy's the good apple in a bad lot and she had the added bonus of having something to prove which only drove her working ambitions up even more." "she was a pretty swell gal." James agreed. "had a hell of a right hook." Steve laughed. "James touched her butt once." he explained to Tony. "she clocked him hard enough he hit the dirt."
 
“I did, but it doesn’t make it any less true.”Gonh said shrugging a little before sighing. “That’s horrible and amusing all at once. Poor peggy.”Tony snickered a little shaking his head as he looked at the two, snickering. “You know, that doesn’t really surprise me you know. That you touched her butt.”Tony smirked before looking at james. “See, I told you avoiding me was a stupid reason.”
 
James and Steve both snorted at Tony and Steve shrugged. "her Da was always askin to Borrow money. called her a 'good for nothin daughter' when she told him no." James admitted. "actually had the guts to slap her for it. she put him down hard." "i remember that. he raised a fuss to the police if i remember right. they ended up arresting her father instead of her." "it was pretty hilarious, watchin the cops drag him off, him screamin the whole time about how she did'n deserve to have the name Carter." James didn't seam to realize he'd slipped into his heavy Brooklyn Twang. "i did touch her ass. an it was worth the broken jaw." James admitted, pouring out a tumbler of whiskey for him and Tony before glancing at Steve, lifting the bottle of Scotch, asking if Steve could have some. "can't taste." Steve grumbled. "probably couldn't pick up the glass anyway."
 
“That’s awesome. And totally something that would happen. Cap, cool things don’t happen like that to me anymore. That just makes me sulk that I couldn’t see that.”Tony snickered a little, amused, smirking as he heard the twang. That was adorable, but he knew better then to point it out, otherwise james would stop. “You could if you tried you know.”Tony said smiling slightly.
 
Steve snorted. "why try? i won't taste anything and i can't get drunk. i couldn't get drunk before!" he pointed out, looking pleased that Tony and James where getting along now. well, for now. "you know i remember a time when you couldn't drink." James admitted. "you where such a small little tich back then. a glass wouldn't bother you but too much and it'd set off your heart palpitations or trigger an asthma attack." James admitted, sipping at his scotch. "he hated it, when i fussed over him too. kept saying that he was strong enough to handle it." he grinned. "he never seamed to realize how frail he really was, until he wasn't frail anymore." he admitted. "it was so funny... he'd jump out of a plane without a parachute, but he'd be so damn careful with a knife when he was cooking. he'd run right into the line of fire, but he'd be cautious on the stairs..." he snorted and shook his head. "i can't believe Sharon twisted him like that. i felt, for months, like Steve was loosing something important, but i never bothered to look, or check. i just thought..." he shook his head. "i was missing him even before he died."
 
“That’s truly amusing. I mean, he’s still like that. He dove off the tower once, then was so very careful when he peeled off the suit after I crushed it catching him. Stupid idiot.”Tony huffed sulking a little, “He nearly gave me a heart attack with that stunt.”Tony rolled his eyes a little before looking away, staring down at his glass, sipping it slowly. “...I’d lost him years before he died....I’d known something was wrong, but I was to hurt to keep looking...”
 
James snorted. "why in the hell did he jump off the tower?" "yeah, why the hell did i jump off the tower?" Steve asked, confused. "the suit was all he had you know." James admitted. "for a long time, it seamed to be the only thing that mattered to him. i asked him why once. he said 'it's the only thing that lasted the last seventy years. even Baseball isn't the same anymore.'... he was always pretty possessive of it." James admitted, knocking back another shot. "how could we have known though?" James wondered. "it's not like we could have guessed. we can't see everything. i thought Steve was just overly stressed, too deep in denial you know? i never suspected. every action seamed to have a perfectly plausible excuse..." "eah. if you guys are just gonna keep talking about me, i'm gonna go practice possessing people." "okay Steve, have fun... wait, what?"
 
“....Cause I’d messed up rewiring a doombot and the damned thing was chasing you and clint around the tower. In your defense though, clint did have his bow, he could have used his repelling arrow and gotten you out of trouble, just freaked me out.”Tony snickered a little as he downed the last shot.”He was always weird about his baseball to.”he muttered before sighing a little, “...Yea. I guess.”Tony said running his fingers through his hair before smirking at steve,”I thought you’d like that we’re getting along. And he’s learned how to possess people. He’s threatened to make me behave that way.”tony sulked.
 
Steve blinked at him. "why the hell where you playing with Doombots when your stuff is twenty to a hundred thousand times better?" James asked, looking confused before flushing when he realized he gave Ton a compliment. "ah. well...." Steve shrugged. "i survived and i'll know to watch for that." he promised Tony, not realizing he'd slipped. "his baseball?" it was something he'd had since childhood. it had been signed by the entire Dodgers team and Steve had put it in the bank before he'd entered the Rebirth project. when he'd 'died' Peggy and Howard had been willed, well, everything. Howard had kept the baseball and Tony had fond it later and given it back to Steve, he kept it proudly displayed i his room at the tower. it was still there. "you know... it is weird we're getting along. i still hate you." James admitted, taking another shot. "and i know i'm not drunk, because i can't get drunk." he admitted, staring at the scotch. "sucks... you know i tried Cocaine? it lasted twenty seconds and then the crash lasted a full minute and pop. it was done." "you did WHAT!?" Steve demanded, outraged. "it was after you died, i was desperate and no one was there to stop me." James admitted.
 
“,....cause it was johnny’s birthday and I was going to freak him out by putting a bow on it and making him think doom had a crush.”Tony said blushing ever so slightly before smirking at james’ compliment. “Yes his baseball. The one who had as a kid, only thing sharon didn’t claim actually that was yours, since it was in the tower when you died, and locked away from her greedy little fingers.”Tony shrugged a little before smirking. “It is weird, and don’t worry, I still hate you to.”She said smiling slightly, before nodding. “I tried to.”Tony shared ignoring the outraged look they were getting from steve. “Extremis burned it up just as fast.”
 
Steve stared at him and James started to snicker. "oh! i know what your talking about! he got that thing when he was eleven! it was before my dad died." James admitted. "he took us to the Dodgers ballgame and that scrawny little shit caught the home run ball. he was hit thirteen times by other sports fans who thought they could take it from him. he counted apparently. the Dodgers where s pissed off that he was getting beat up on that they actually stormed the Bleachers and rescued him. he sat the rest of the game i the dugout, bruised, bleeding and the happiest freaking kid in the world. they all signed it for him." Steve smiled, reminiscing. Steve glared at them both and James smiled. "amusingly enough, Pot still works. sort of." he admitted. "could just be the habit though. like that Pavlov guy. ring the bell, make the dog drool. smoke a joint, get high." James mused, giving up on the Scotch. "you know it seams cruel, to give us a Steve that doesn't remember anything." James admitted. "i'd say he's young enough that he didn't even know i was alive." "you'd be right." Steve admitted, sighing. how had so much gone so wrong?
 
“Yea that ball. He was ecstatic that I had the thing in my collection of cap stuff.”Tony snickered a little before smirking. “You know, that’s a better story then how he told it. He said he got beat up catching the thing, and got it signed. Hearing the rest made it better.”Tony sulked at having been denied a good story before sighing at steve. “You were gone. You can’t yell at us for doing it.”He ordered before studying steve, knowing that the other man had slipped up, and it made him curious. “I’m thinking he’s from a time that he’s just recently moved into the tower, that damned hoodie didn’t leave his body for days on end when he first showed up.”
 
James chuckled. "i imagine. i wonder why he never told me about it?" he wondered, his head tilted. "yeah well, for Steve getting beaten up was a major part of his life. he tends to focus on that, instead of the good things." James admitted, Steve wrinkling his nose. he hadn't realized it, but he did kind of do that. "i'm not gone now so i totally can!" Steve grumbled, shaking his head. "anyway, i guess it doesn't really mater does it?" he asked with a sigh. "it didn't do anything to you after all..." he muttered. "...last i remember, it was three weeks before Christmas." Steve admitted with a shrug. he'd moved in two weeks before that. "i like this hoodie!" he complained, snuggling into it. he'd never admit it, but he loved it because he'd stolen it from Tony, not that Tony seemed to have ever realized.
 
“No idea.”Tony shrugged looking amused before nodding. “he did. Though the fights got more interesting to hear about the older he got.”Tony snickered a little before raising his eyebrow as he studied the other man. “...so we really are just learning to get along. Even if you steal my things and stretch them out enough I can’t wear them anymore.”he teased, “That hoodie was big anyways, it got worse when you put your super soldier-ness into it.”
 
James snickered. "he ever tell you about the time the giant slug thing ate his pants?" he asked, amused. "Giant what!?" "it was a genetic experiment that got loose in the New York subway systems. it was causing major railway accidents. we thought it was a giant lizard or something. turned out to be a massive slug." he admitted. "oh so you DO know it's yours!" Steve said, amused. "why did you let me keep it?" he asked, his head tilted. "rather nice of you really." he admitted. when he'd moved into the tower, he'd only had two pairs of jeans three tea shirts, a jacket and two Army uniforms because he hadn't bothered to find anything else. hadn't had the time really. so he'd raided Tony's close one night when he kept getting cold and had commandeered the sweater he was now wearing. "if you hadn't wanted me wearing it, you should have said so the first day." Steve stated with a sniff.
