Fates Altered-Avengers Moon/Lady

"it is pretty adorable. if he was more in control of himself i'd swear he was doting on her." he admitted with a smile before his smile fell. "...some-days. i don't." he admitted softly. "some days it hurts to even breath, others the memories are so overwhelming i can't stand them. but everyday gets a little better, a little easier." he admitted, smiling at Tony. "thanks to you."

Steve blinked at her, what did comfort have to do with anything? he was a tool, not a pet after all. oh dear god, she was turning him into a pet! was that so bad? no more killing at least, and food. plenty of food and a soft bed. what was so wrong with being a pet other than boredom? nothing. he could be her pet. he'd enjoy it really. he sat down obediently, watching Tony with the same wonder and amazement as he always did. Tony was someone who completely and totally fascinated Steve. he was always doing everything he could to copy every move Tony made and when he couldn't, he watched Tony intently, as he was doing now. Steve watched the arm get attached, memorizing every nook and cranny Tony tucked into so he could remove it himself later before flexing his fingers, going through a slow, methodical run through. he'd clearly done this hundreds of thousands of times, making sure every single joint worked exactly as it was needed before jolting, surprised when sensation came through the arm. as if he was... touching. he stared at the hand, his eyes wide.
 
“Well, he might be doting on her anyways, even if he’s not aware of it.”Tony snickered a little “Well, I’m glad I can help.”He said blushing a little as he watched the other.

Tony grinned as he worked, smirking a little as he realized steve was watching him with the same fascination as always. “See?That’s how it connects. So if you need to take it off and I’m not around, they can. I made it so it could come off easily if needed.”Tony said smiling slightly. “You can feel, right?”He said looking happy when he saw the other’s surprise, looking up at alais as the woman walked closer. “You are amazing, Tny, really.”Alais said hugging him, smiling as she looked at Steve. “ready to go?”
 
Steve nodded, showing he understood and took the arm off and put it back on, very impressed with how easy it was. his other arm took a good five minutes to remove and it usually hurt because he was impatient. "F...Feel?" Steve asked, tongue stuttering on the unfamiliar word. flexing his fingers again before dragging the fingertips up the arm of the chair and shuddered, looking stunned, his lip twitching. that was amazing. "he is amazing. didn't i tell you that already?" James asked her with a grin. "come on. we're going to me late if we don't move now." he warned, watching Steve who was now touching everything to see if there was a difference in the sensations he received. he even continued to touch everything in the car. his crowning glory was when he realized if he ran his metal hand through Codi's hair, he could build up a charge and shock people. Tony and James kept yelping because Steve kept ruffling Codi's hair and then touching them.
 
Touch. The metal gives you feeling like your real hand.”Tony said slowly, watching the other touch things, smiling quietly. “You did, but I didn’t think he’d actually figure out how to give metal feeling.”Alais said looking amused. “Okay, let’s go then.”Tony said though he still looked curious as they drove. Watching steve in amusement. “Alais!Tell him to stop.” “No. It’s quite amusing.”Alais said snickering a little as steve shocked them, smiling as they got out of the car as they got to the barn, smiling as they headed inside. Smirking slightly as she saw teh horses, her stances going relaxed and happy simply to be in the barn. Grinning as she turned the horses out into the pasture she smirked. “Okay, mucking stalls.” “...it smells.”Tony twitched making a face even as he took the shovel she handed him.
 
Steve blinked at him and then looked from his metal hand to his flesh one and examined both intently as if only just now realizing that they where different. "eh?" Steve asked, looking up at Tony. eh, was his default 'i don't know how to say what i want to say'. Steve giggled the entire car ride, which was thankfully short. zapping people was fun! he was very happy to be up on top of a horse as well and rode quite expertly around a smaller paddock simply because he liked sitting on the horse, which was content to wander. Percheron, A.K.A Winter, was even eating with Steve just sitting there on it's back. which gave him a much better view of Alais while she worked with the Gypsy Vanner. "it does stink a little, but think of how proud you'll feel once you finish. if you manage to muck at least half the stable, i'll make those special chocolates you love so much." he promised the other with a smirk. "and i'll throw in a blow job." he promised after checking to make sure Alais wasn't there to hear him.
 
“Nothing, never mind.”Tony smiled a little realizing that he wasn’t understanding. Smiling slightly as they got to the barn. Looking amused as he watched the horses, snickering as he watched Steve and winter, and looking amazed at the complex routine Alais seemed to be teaching the vanner-named Draco- her features utterly focused on what she was doing instead of steve for once. “She looks amazing like this.”Tony muttered leaning on the shovel for a moment before making a face. “I’ll feel proud when I surprise phil.”he decided, looking mildly disgusted as he started to work on mucking out the stall per alais’ instructions before perking up. “chocolate?And...what?”He said turning to stare at the other, flushing.
 
Steve blinked at him, puzzled and confused but not trying to understand. it just made his head hurt. thinking was hard. "Joscelin is gorgeous isn't he?" James asked Tony with a smile, watching the white hair flair gorgeously as the Vanner moved. "it's nice to see her finally relaxing." he admitted before smiling at Tony. "yeah. he's going to be pretty amazed." he admitted, setting up the Camera while Tony wasn't looking, recording him so Phil knew for sure that it was happening. James was already half done with his stall b the time Tony hit his second shovelful. being a super soldier was the best. "yes. Chocolate and a blowjob." he agreed, smirking at Tony. "i'll be honest with you Tones. since your pretty much ignore my attempts at flirting. i like you. i think your pretty swell, hot stuff and all that, you know?" he asked, smiling at Tony. "i wanna try dating you, or at least entering a long term fuck fest with you, not that i'd ever ask you to stop fucking Johnny, i know how important he is to you." he admitted. "i wanna be a part of your life Tony. if you'll let me."
 
"Indeed. She looks good up on him. Relaxedn happy."Tony smiled utterly pleased that something he'd done had made his twin so happy. "She named him joscelin?"tony snickered a little looking amused making a face as he work, looking utterly disgusted at this even if he was doing it."it's unfair your doing it faster then me."Tony whined a little."I do not ignore your attempts at flirting."he said making a fwce, looking like he was having trouble processing. "And you....what? I mwan...I'm a wHore. Why would you want me?"tony said looking cutely, bemused and confused.
 
"a lot happier. i think she needs the horses, to stabilize herself a bit." he admitted. "sort of like how tech helps you stay focused and whatnot. and yes, she did, that poor horse. the one Steve is on is named Winter. i didn't catch what she named the other two." he admitted before he smirked at Tony. "i can bench press a bus, Tony. of course i'm going to be faster at this." he pointed out before snorting. "you do too ignore my flirting attempts." he complained before smiling at Tony. "you are not a whore." he assured the other. "i want you because your the only man on this earth who doesn't make me feel stupid or perverted or unwanted and you are one of the few people who hasn't set off my PTSD or given me a flashback or a anxiety attack." he admitted. "i don't think i'd have made it this far if you hadn't been here, helping me." he admitted.
 
“Sounds reasonable. Considering how connected to her horses she is.”Tony smiled a little before snickering. “Well, he seems to be adjusting to it well.”He snickered a little before sulking. “Well, fast isn’t always good. I’m sure you suck at sex cause of it.”Tony huffed before making a face. “I do not....and I totally am.”He grumbled leaning against his shovel before staring at him, biting his lip a little. “...Still don’t think you dating me is a good idea... I mean...I'll be bad for you..."
 
he nodded. "she's very connected." he agreed with a smile. "Steve is looking pretty relaxed himself." James admitted, keeping an eye on Steve since he knew Tony was focused on Alais. "oh no. i'm very slow, teasing when i have sex." he admitted with a smirk. "there's nothing i love more than to make my cute little sub, cum without ever laying a finger on their cock." he teased with a smirk before he smiled at Tony. "i think your wrong. i think your the best one i could ever hope for. but if your still uncertain, why don't we just try going on a date and see how it goes?" he asked with a smile before looking over at Steve who was now busy plucking up all the flowers from the various garden boxes around the stables.
 
“He does.”Tony agreed smiling a little as he watched steve, before pausing, staring at james. Flushing brightly as he turned away and started cleaning up more, focusing on that instead of the idea of james in bed. Nudding a little he fidgeted, biting his lip. “Okay...a date.”He said smiling before brightening .”We could go to Alais thing as our first date.”he said before watching steve. “what’s he doing?”
 
"James smiled a little at the other. "oh that's a really good idea Tony! perfect. that's... a month? two months away? that'll give you more time to adjust to the fact that we're going on a date... or give you time to totally freak out, not sure which will happen." he admitted before smiling, watching Steve. "well, he's either being destructive, or he's making a bouquet." he admitted. "either that or he wants to put them in the Garden you put in for him." he admitted with a smile, sniggering when Steve put the pulled up flowers in the car. "he wants to replant them." he admitted with a chuckle.
 
“”Month away. And it’s here in NYC so we wont have to travel that far.”Tony said smiling a little before making a face. “I do not freak out. I’m perfectly calm.”he pouted a little before snickering. “I bet he gives them to alais.”he said looking amused before shaking his head at the flowers going into the car. “Good thing we figured out that garden. He’d be upset if they died.” “You guys done?”Alais smiled as she walked into the barn, holding out brushes. “Help me brush them off, and we’ll be going.”She said loking happier and even more relaxed, teh simple time to work, having done wonders.
 
"yes precisely. and if Steve get's too overwhelmed it's close enough that i can take him back home." he agreed with a smile. "you freak out a lot. but it's cute so that's okay." he admitted with a smile at Tony. "i bet he's just being destructive." he bet before pouting when they where both wrong. "almost." he admitted to her with a smile. "just Tony's left to do." he admitted, having, in the time Tony had managed to clean the single stall of... well, muck, cleaned out the other three, scrubbed them with a bristle brush, and then laid down fresh hay. "i'm just surprised Tony's still working." James admitted with a grin.
 
“:Which is a good thing. Though I think the idea of leaving Alais, would upset him more.”tony said looking a little amused before making a face. “Lies. I do not.”He grumbled before snickering a little as he looked at his stall, utterly pleased that he had indeed managed to clean it all, “So am I actually. I thought he’d quit as soon as you took the video.”Alais said snickering at her twin. “I wanted you to know, I do want you to be happy. I mean, helping you do this is important.”Tony muttered even if he was eyeing the horses as she got them settled into their stalls with supicion. Definitely not a horse fan.
 
"that's true, but it would be easy enough for her to travel back and forth too." he admitted with a smile before smirking. "you threw fill on tantrum because Pepper wouldn't give you a good night kiss and then you worried for a week that she was mad at you." he pointed out, smiling at Tony's rather well done job. "i don't think he realizes i was recording." he admitted. "too bad there's no sound, i bet Phil would love to hear Tony stutter." he admitted with a smile and a shake of his head before smiling at Tony, rather proud of the man. "Eh!" Steve declared, holding out a small bouquet of one of every flower he'd plucked. he must have searched for the best of each kind because they where all nearly perfect. "...damn.." James muttered, reaching into his pocket for his wallet, handing tony the Twenty. they always bet with twenties. James yelped loudly when the Palomino reached over and bit him. the horse hissing about 'snakes'. horses hated snakes. they'd stomp the things flat given half the chance, or run away if they where more skittish. "Son of a bitch! that one hurt!" he complained, checking for blood and sulking at the horse.
 
"I have no idea what your talking about. Pepper's never mad at me."he said with a sniff before looking at james."you recorded it?good. I forgot this was for phil." "That's amusing. And you totally should muck out stalls for me all the time. You did a good job."Alais praised softly smiling as tony beamed happily."huh?oh!thanks steve."Alais said smiling at steve as she took the flowers, blushing ever so slightly as she realized they were indeed almost perfect. "Thanks."tony smirked as he pocketed the 20 before yelping as the horse but james."...snakes?"alais asked looking at the palomino looking confused as she reached out and gently stroked the horses neck trying to calm him
 
he chuckled a little. "yes but your always worried that she is." he teased, looking amused. "i did record it, yes." he agreed, laughing at Tony when he admitted he had forgotten. "so you basically did all that work because i distracted you?" he asked, looking delighted. "i'll have to remember that." he admitted with a smirk before smiling as he watched Steve who looked very pleased with himself. he was recovering well really. "...snakes? what about snakes?" James asked curiously. that's all the horses would say about him though, was 'snake'. so he either smelled like a snake, or they thought he was like a snake. it was unlikely that James would catch the connection, but Tony would. James had once been hurt very bad. just after the serum. James didn't remember it, because his head had been bashed in, but he'd been missing almost all of the skin on his back. Skin grafts had saved his life, but they didn't have enough pig skin, so they'd gone out and collected snake skin, which normally wouldn't have worked long term, the snake or the pig skin, thanks to the Serum, his body accepted the snake skin immediately, and all the flesh over his spine, since that was what they had been most concerned with, was actually snakeskin. not that you could tell since his own skin had grown over it. it had been Howard's idea. he'd been smug for months for having saved Captain America's life.
 
“Am not.”Tony huffed sulking before making a face. “Did not. I totally remembered, just making sure you did.”Tony grumbled, not about to hand james another weapon to use on him. “Yes, we’ll have to remember that.”Alais grinned amused. “That’s all the horses said. You and snakes.”Alais said before turning her head to look at tony as the man went utterly still. “uh....”Tony swallowed hard, looking around with such utter anxiety, bouncing a little. “I think I know what it is.”tony said not looking at any of them.
 
"are too." James teased before frowning, confused. "Tony?" he asked, nudging the other. "it's okay, i won't be mad at you, i know it's not your fault. what do you know?" he was more than a little stunned at what he found out, but hey. it had worked, even if he didn't remember being so badly wounded. "is there any reason why i would need to worry about it?... no, never mind i better talk to Bruce about that." he admitted. turns out there was really nothing they could do, with it so close to the spine and it wasn't causing any problems at all so there was no need to either.

a month later found many exciting changes. Steve was talking a bit now. mostly it was repeating whatever someone else said. he adored copying Tony's manner of speech. he still did most of his actual communicating in Russian. James, being around the horses constantly, was now tolerated in the stables, though none of them tolerated him on their backs. they where at the contest, Steve's eyes wide as he looked around with his hand tight on Codi's special leash and harness announcing the dog as a service dog. the official story was that Steve had suffered a severe stroke, and was often incapable of caring for himself or understanding what was going on. Codi came to get various avengers anytime Steve got lost or confused or upset. it was happening more often now, it was supposed to be a good thing though.meant his mind was trying to assert itself. for now, he looked quite excited to be watching the 'horses play'. "Eh!" Steve informed them, pointing at the large sand covered space where the riders showed off their horses skills. "Eh!" he demanded again, wanting to go closer.
 
Tony smiled amused, in the month that had past, the man had settled even more into life. having gotten used to having both his sister and steve around. even more so because steve kept copying him, meant for the first time in his life, he was actually being careful of what he was doing, to make sure he ddin't get steve in trouble for copying him doing something stupid. smiling as they watched the others move around, he grinned at steve's words. "Yea, that's where Alais is going to be soon. We're moving closer, I promise."Tony smiled glad indeed that alais had gotten them box seats close up, amused because the woman had wanted them to come, and yet, nervous enough about showing for the first time since Scott died that she'd tried to forbid them from coming to. Thank god, they'd simply ignored her fretting and come anyways.
 
James found it very amusing that Steve was copying Tony so much. it had gotten to the point where Steve would dismantle things just to watch Tony put them back together. he was always very careful about what he took apart though, so as to not upset Tony. "Eh!" Steve agreed happily. it was one of his 'happy but dumb' days. where he forgot how to talk but was in a very good mood anyway. he followed them, looking around at all the people who parted for Steve, recognizing the Service Dog and employing proper manners by getting out of the way for the handicapped. Codi, of course, was so smart he could interpret Steve's various 'eh's' as well as Russian. so Steve had no problem in getting Codi to do just about anything Steve needed him to do. including fetching his metal arm, which Steve didn't really like to have attached while he was sleeping. "Alais!" Steve crowed once they where sat down, spotting her in the waiting lines. that was one word he never forgot how to say once he'd learned it.
 
Tony smiled watching them, settling into his seat as he glanced over at his date for the day, maybe more. Despite having fretted and fussed-much to both johnny and alais’ amusement- the last week he was relaxed now, simply happy to be with the other, steve;s presence making it easier to relax. “Yep, she’s up next.”he said smiling as he saw his twin, glancing at James. “It amuses me he never forgets her name.”He muttered amused as the strands of music started playing, tilting his head at the soft waltz playing, watching Alais as she rode in. the following show set to the song ‘thousand years following by what had to be something few outside of the royal riding school would have ever seen. A mounted capriole and a horse bowing to the cheering crowd. “....she really is amazing.”Tony said sounding utterly enthralled, despite having watching Alais practice at the stable, he hadn’t realized just how amazing it was.
 
"Alais!" Steve chirped again with a grin, watching Alais happily. he loved watch Alais and the horses dancing. he clapped, delighted with the dance and settled in again to watch the other horses dance, though he was less interested since they weren't Alais. "i think he likes her." James admitted. "he's just too broken right now to realize it." he admitted with a smile, watching Tony more than he was Alais. "she said she'd be coming up right?" he asked. "once she got her scores?" he looked around, trying to spot her in the massive crowd. he knew the security here was more than impressive so he wasn't too worried. he just wanted to see how she was handling the adrenaline rush. Steve was clapping as the next person finished their dance, not looking nearly as impressive as Alais' had been.
