Fates Altered-Avengers Moon/Lady

“Cause, people always tell me things that get me in trouble. I tend to not believe anyone.”he shrugged making a face, a serious answer even if he knew that james was teasing him. “I will. No, she’d shoot me for not telling her. It’d be upsetting. I’ll tell her.”he promised before making a face. “I always sleep.”he protested kissing James’ cheek, hugging him tightly, a habit for as long as james had known him. He hugged and clung as if he’d never see the other after he left, when he was going away for awhile. As if he believed he wouldn’t see him again. The scars of his mother’s leaving without getting to say goodbye to her cause he was under a car, a careless offhanded goodbye to the woman as she left....died, having left deep scars on her only son. “I’ll see you later. Call if you need anything.”He said before heading for Johnny’s, snickering quietly as he walked in. “It always amazes me you’re the one out of all of them, that got his own place first.”he said smirking at the flamer.

“I’m okay.”She said in response to his words, even if she was still brushing away tears as she settled into her chair, to upset and grieving to stop ,but trying to because she knew she was upsetting him. Startling as he ordered her, he looked confused before staring at the flowers, before giving him a weak smile as she looked down at the flowers, knowing that somewhere someone was going to be pissed about the dirt, but for the moment, she was consoled at the simple gesture. “Thank you Winter.”She said sniffling, calming a little.
 
James smiled a little and nodded. "yeah. i know." he admitted with a sigh and a shake of his head. he hated how suspicious Tony always was. not that he could blame Tony with how many times he had been betrayed. "you never sleep." he huffed before smiling, stroking Tony's back, as he always did during this odd little ritual. "i'll call even if i don't need anything." he promised. "i could afford to." Johnny admitted with a chuckle, accepting Tony's suitcase and headed up to the gust room where Tony always stays. "besides, Ben can't exactly go looking at real estate and miss priss and her flex boy toy are perfectly content now that i'm not there." he sounded fairly bitter, but that wasn't unexpected. since the events of the silver surfer, Johnny had turned his life around, he didn't drink, he didn't smoke anymore, he didn't go to parties and didn't engage in orgies or make fool of himself but Reed and Sue still treated him like an embarrassment and a pest. so he moved out and the last time they had gone on a superhero gig, he had not gone with them. the only reason he hadn't gotten an angry phone call was because Ben refused to let Sue near the phones. it hadn't hit the news yet, but people where beginning to realize that Johnny Storm didn't seam to be a part of the Fantastic Four anymore.

he scowled, uncertain why there was water coming out of her eyes. was sh sick? what was he supposed to do if she was sick? protecting his Handlers was his primary mission, always. if that meant killing the Handlers bosses so be it. that was wy only the most fanatically loyal Hydra agents, or higher ups where Steve's handlers. because if the handler ordered, Steve did it, always. Steve watched her, his head tilted as she accepted the flowers and then left to get Hank, dragging the blue furred mutant to Alais. "Status?" he demanded of Hank who paused. "uhm.... Emotionally Compromised?" he guessed. Steve considered that and then nodded. he had met many soldiers who where emotionally compromised after a death, so it made sense to Steve, even if he'd never seen water come out of someone's face before.
 
“Okay. Call.”Tony grinned pleased with the knowledge that james still wanted to talk to him even if he didn’t need anything. Smiling a little at johnny he followed after the other. “Hm, true. Though that boytoy is one I’d try using sometime. I mean, he can expand every part of himself!And he’s smart to.”Tony said, just cause he knew it annoyed johnny. Knew that he’d get punished for it, and he knew johnny would forgive him for it. Because he always did it, always tried to get johnny to punish him by simply poking and prodding at him, being a utter dick when the man was upset over things, feeling to much. And tony was definitely teetering on that edge of being out of control. “And I keep telling you to join the avengers, it’d be awesome, me, you, banner and Barnes.”He grinned a little sighing softly.

Alais swallowed hard looking at him.”I’m okay, Winter.”she said knowing she was upsetting him, trying to stop the tears before looking up at hank. Smiling slightly as she nodded, “Yes. Emotionally compromised.”She agreed sighing softly as as she looked at steve, looking around, smiling slightly at James when the man walked in.”Tony left a bit ago..He okay?”she muttered, having accepted the hug when steve was gone, simply letting tony go since he seemed so twitchy.
 
"that's disgusting Tony." Johnny complained, wrinkling his nose. "i'm smarter than he is." which was true actually. Red was great ith 'space stuff' but Johnny was a mathematical genius. when someone could calculate the square root of 59, and then the Square of that number in a split second without a calculator was a brilliant man. even if everyone treated him like he was stupid, Johnny was rich, not because mommy and daddy where, but because using numbers he could literally see into the future of the stock market. his investments had made him rich and until now Sue and Reed had been living off of HIS money because Sue had spent all of daddy's money. Johnny was one interaction away from cutting her off, not that she realized that she was using Johnny's money. she was going to be horrified when she realized, but Johnny didn't give a fuck. "just for that, your getting the strap." he commented, amused because he knew exactly what Tony was doing, even if he sounded annoyed. "go get naked, lay on your bed and wait for me, i have to get the lube." he admitted. "and i might consider joining the Avengers." he admitted. "we'll see what happens."

Steve scowled at her, annoyed that she was lying, and he knew she was lying. still, Hank was a good doctor and Steve knew if they both said it, it had to be true. he reached out and stroked a tear off when James walked in. "Tony went to go calm down. he's a submissive." he explained to her. "he needed to be dropped so he went to his dom to be dropped. he'll be having sex and working on the arm and tech for the Avengers alternately." he admitted. "are you okay?" he asked her, gently taking her hand, offering her comfort. Steve, watching intently, did the same to her other hand, trying to help his handler.
 
“No it’s not. I mean, come on. Even if he’s annoying, it has to be something you’d thought of.”Tony snickered before nodding. “I know. Which is why I’m having sex with you, and not him....not that I want your sister’s sloppy seconds, but still, I’m here with you.”Tony grinned at him, before moaning at the threat. “Not the strap.”Which meant, yes please the strap. Heading for the bedroom he smiled as he undressed, sighing quietly as he finished undressing, laying back as he waited. “Awesome.”tony grinned at the idea of johnny coming to join them. Even if he knew there was something odd between what james felt for johnny, he still liked the idea of having all his people under the same roof.

“Oh. Well that explains why he was fidgety.”She said understanding enough to know that the man was wound up and needed to work it out. Snickering a little. “That’s good.”She said glad to know that tony had gone to work on tech and do what he needed to do to feel okay. Looking up at him as she took her hand, before looking at steve, looking slightly confused at the motion, as if she wasn’t sure this was okay, but nodding. “I’m....I was thinking about Scott. I feel numb sometimes...then it hits me all over again he’s gone...”She shuddered a little, tilting her head, needing to focus on something else. “Why didn’t you go with tony?I mean...sex.”She pointed out,even if she wasn’t great with emotions, was was better adjusted then tony, she understood why he had totally missed. That james like-liked him.
 
he shook his head. "he's a fuck head. i hate him too much to ever consider it." he admitted, smirking a little. "yeah Sue is pretty gross huh?" he asked with a grin. "yes the strap, don't argue with me or i'll giv you the paddle too." he warned, gathering his supplies and headed back to Tony with the strap, a looped belt with no buckle that thudded and left nice wide welts but didn't have backlash or cutting power. along with a wooden paddle that he liked to use on Ton's ass when Tony was being particularly belligerent. "you want to be tied up or do you think you can behave?" he demanded the other. "and i want your safe word." he ordered, smirking a little, watching Tony.

"i know. it's hard, knowing how much you lost. when i lost Steve, all i could think about, all the time was how it was my fault." he admitted. "and then i found out everyone i ever knew was also dead and i just... shut down, for a while." he admitted. "i spent three weeks doing nothing but cry and feel numb." he admitted. "your pushing yourself too hard i think." he admitted. "working hard helps you forget, but you haven't had time to process, or grieve." James explained. "he's not ready for a relationship yet." James admitted with a sigh. "and he's not ready for me." he admitted. "i'm jealus as hell, but Tony needs help i just can't give him right now." he admitted, smiling at her. "right now Tony needs someone else and even if it hurts, trying to keep Tony from that person would only hurt Tony." he admitted.
 
“She is.”Tony agreed snickering, before whining quietly, but not arguing as he squirmed. Swallowing hard as he glanced over to look at johnny, even if he trusted the man, he still needed to be able to see what he was doing. “...I can behave. I always behave.”He said sulking a little before flushing brightly, ducking his head a little before muttering. “Spangles.”....well. Maybe james meant more to him then tony let anyone know. James meant safety, protection, a good place for him.

“...yes. That’s how I feel.Lost. And numb.”She sighed quietly, staring down as she held james’ hand, absently rubbing a thumb over steve’s knuckles, “...I can’t just stop...I mean...Winter needs help, and I can do that...and I have a new horse and...”she trailed off, because now that she’d given in some, the woman was finding it even harder to keep the grief behind the wall she’d built. “Ah. You know. You’re smarter then most people, letting him do what he needs, even if it upsets you.”She smiled at him, squeezing his hand. “I’m glad he had you James.”
 
Johnny smirked at him a little but didn't protest the movement. he knew Tony needed to be able to see, if he didn't want the other to move then he had to have Tony lay on his stomach so he could still see. "you never behave, little liar. i should paddle you for that." he teased before smiling a little. "you know, he'd probably be willing if you asked him." he admitted before gently patting Tony on the ass. "legs spread, chest down, get comfortable." he ordered, dragging the strap along Tony's back, simply letting Tony feel it, well aware it was going to make the man squirm.

James nodded. "like the world is going to swallow you up." he agreed, stroking her knuckles like she was Steve's, who looked utterly fascinated by the motion if the way he was staring at her thumb was any indication. "Steve doesn't need anything but time, affection and a chance." James admitted. "besides, you can help him without pushing yourself." he admitted. "and the horse is being taken care of by the students, who are being watched much more carefully now." he admitted. "so you don't really need to worry about him right now. you need to focus on yourself before you can truly b the help that Steve needs. if you break down, then Tony will too." he admitted. "which will upset me which will make Steve worse." it was the same logic he'd used on Tony the sneaky sneak! but why mess with something that works? "i'm glad i have a part in his life." he agreed with a smile.
 
“Why do you and james keep insisting I don’t behave?I behave perfectly.”Tony grumbled, before going quiet. Thinking about it before shaking his head a little. “Can’t. I’m not what he needs, Johnny.”he muttered sighing softly, shivering a little as the other patted his ass, squirming a little as he spread his legs, getting comfortable with a sigh. Whimpering a tthe feel, he gasped, squirming. “Johnny...”he whined desperate.

“Yes...like that.”alais said relaxing, slumping back into her chair, ebfore turning to look at james with a small smile. “...I don’t know how. I can’t...I’m afraid of really...missing him. Of knowing I’ll never see scott again...taking care of tony, of winter....is something I need...I don’t...”she shuddered even if she was starting to realize she needed to function better, needed to settle. Frowning a little before nodding slightly.”....That’s true. Damn...I’ll have to...work on it.”She sighed softly.
 
Johnny snorted. "you only behave when you want something." he teased Tony, shaking his head. "how do you know what James needs when you can't even tell what you need Tony?" he asked, lifting an eyebrow at the other before smirking at the squirming ad whining. "Yes Tony? you wanted something? you want me to hit you? you want me to hurt you? well okay." he lifted the strap and brought it down, this part was easy. he'd hit Tony so many times he knew exactly how Tony liked it. he knew just how Bruce liked it too, though he was always a little bit scared the next hit would bring out the Hulk. it never did. "you like it when i hurt you, don't you Tony? play with your ass, get yourself nice and wet for me." he ordered, handing Tony the Lube.

James nodded. "i know. the first time, it's so hard. you walk in a room and see something neat and want to call to the one you lost and then remember he can't because he's laying in a snow covered ravine and he won't even have a g..." he sucked in a sharp harsh breath and closed his eyes. "sorry. i'm not quite over my own loss, even though he's standing right there." he admitted, shaking his head. "i guess we both need some help huh?" he asked her with a small smile. "i'm a bit of a mess myself." he mumbled before smiling. "Steve fell asleep." he said, carefully maneuvering the mostly asleep Winter Soldier, who could sleep standing up if he had to, back into bed. "he's recovering impressively." he admitted, turning to looking at her. "we could dither about a little bit and give you a few more days here if you need?" he offered her. "otherwise i might take Steve to the Tower tomorrow afternoon." he admitted. "depending on what Hank says anyway." he admitted. "will you be okay if i go get you some dinner?"
 
“Which is always.”Tony muttered looking amused before sighing a little. “Cause he doesn’t need a fucked up engineering genius, even I know that. He has to explain things to me most of the time, Johnny.”he muttered before sighing quietly, squirming as he nodded, “please. Please hurt me.”he begged gasping as the strap hit his back, eyes widening as he rutted against the bed, dropping as he slumped into the bed.”Lots and lots. Like it lots.”He muttered whimpering quietly as he took the lube, settling in and working himself open turning his head to look up at the other.

...Yes. I wanted to tell him back the new horse....I want to share everyhting and....I can’t.”She swallowed hard shifting to wrap her arms around him, hesitating, not sure if he’d accept it, but holding onto him as much as he was holding onto her. “We do. But we’ll be okay. With time. And help.”She muttered resting her head on his shoulder before looking at steve, looking amused, gently stroking blond hair. “I’m amazed. Trust us enough to fall asleep.”She mused smiling before frowning, thinking it over before shaking her head. “No.I’m okay...and if I really need to get out of the city for awhile, I can always come back after.”She shrugged before nodding, “I’ll be fine...and see about getting a vase for the flowers. I’d hate for them to die, when he took time to get them.”
 
he snorted. "and how do you know that? for fucks sake Tony why do you think i like you? it's Because your a fucked up engineering Genius. i like putting all your pieces back together. i like taking care of you and i like picking you up when you break again and start putting the pieces in place again." he admitted. "your a Dom's dream come true." he admitted with a smile. "although, sometimes that's not a good thing." he knew Tony had been brutally abused by Doms in his past. that was why Johnny had to be very, very careful about what he told Tony to do. like he had to tell Tony to use his safeword, each and every time, because otherwise Tony would ignore his own discomfort just to please Johnny. "yeah, you like it when i hurt you." Johnny purred, watching Tony spreading himself with his own fingers, he loved watching Tony finger fuck himself. "that's enough, i think. i want you nice and tight once i finally get around to fucking you." he admitted, bringing the strap down again, laying Tony's back with mild welts.

James nodded. "i went to the museum the other day with Tony, and al i could think of was 'Stevie would love this'... it's pretty hard, but it does get easier." he promised her. "i still think about him, but it doesn't hurt as much as it did when i first lost him. the pain eases back and the fond memories come up." he promised her. "i'm not sure how much it's trust and how much it's drop dead exhaustion." he admitted, ignoring Steve's annoyed growls as he was settled into the bed, settling down into the bed and going right back to sleep without another noise. "that's true. we can always bring Steve back too if you get overwhelmed, since i think i know you well enough to know you'l be very reluctant to leave Steve behind." he admitted with a smile before looking puzzled. "where did those... oh, well that explains why Logan was complaining." he admitted, looking amused. "apparently he actually dug a huge hold in the lawn and carried them through, shaking the dirt off as he went." he admitted, snickering a little. "and people never believe me when i say Stevie was the troublemaker."
 
“...I thought I was the one who liked breaking things just to put them together again.”Tony said snickering a little, but not arguing more. Even if he wasn’t ready to admit that yes maybe him and james could do it, or to try yet, the man was okay with daydreaming about it. “...No, not always.”Tony shuddered a little at the memories, before smiling slightly.”Though you’re to good to be a bad dom.”He muttered smiling a little. “I do.”Tony moaned softly, shivering, whining as he stopped fucking himself, looking up at the other as he squirmed under the strap, rutting against the bed with each strap. “Johhnnnyy.”He whined needily, looking up at the other with blown eyes, sounding so far gone.

“Thanks...it’s easier to know it will get easier.”She smiled a little, relaxing before laughing a little. “Well. That’s true. He’s exhausted.”She said looking amused at steve’s growls, reaching out to gently brush his hair back from his face before nodding slightly, “...Am I that easy to figure out?”she said looking amused, because she knew it was a trait she shared with tony. A severe reluctance to abandon anyone, even if they needed to take care of themselves. “He was upset I was crying, so he went and found some flowers. Pulled them up by the roots and brought them in.”She said snickering a little, before smirking at him. “I’m sure it was a even divide between the trouble making.”
 
Johnny snorted. "there's a difference. i'm not the one breaking you." he pointed out with a chuckle. he didn't need to, the world did it enough for anyone. he didn't say anything else about it, Johnny wasn't stupid though, he was well aware that James didn't like him because he was lusting after Tony. Johnny was also very 'in the know' that Tony had fallen in love with James. "i am too good to be a bad Dom." he agreed with a chuckle and a shake of his head. "that;s it, such a good little Toy, perfect little Pet." he couldn't use words like whore, slut or slag around Tony. too many bad memories, but Toy and Pet had no negative feelings, Johnny had made sure. "you want me to fuck you Tony?" he asked, smirking a little, rubbing the tip of his cock against the others ass. he got himself tested every month, so he knew he was clean, and he knew Tony did the same thing. hell even Bruce did it, even though Johnny was the only person Bruce slept with. Johnny only barebacked when he was sure his partner was clean.

"it does get easier." he promised her with a smile and nodded. "and still pretty sick, honestly i'm ot sure he should have done all that walking around." he admitted, looking fairly amused. "not that you could have stopped him." he admitted with a shake of his head. "he's stubborn as hell." he admitted. "and not that easy, you just have a lot of the same characteristics as Tony does. both of you seam to have intense abandonment issues." he admitted. "not that i can blame either of you." he admitted. "really? well that was pretty sweet of him." James admitted with a smile. "oh no. it was not. i was the good child. Steve was the one with the issues, causing fights everywhere he went." he admitted with a snort. "at least he didn't yank up the rose bushes. i'm pretty sure Rogue would have killed someone." he admitted with a chuckle and a shake of his head. "i'm going to go get us some food." he told her, heading to the kitchen and coming back with roasted chicken breast sandwiches and salads for the both of them. "Blue Cheese, Ranch, Caesar, or Italian?" he asked her, indicating the little pouches of dressing.
 
“Very good.”Tony muttered squirming, shivering at the name calling, slumping slightly. Because it was amazing, the utter quiet relief he felt knowing Johnny was taking care of him. Groaning as he felt the other rubbing against him he whimpered, back arching a little, rubbing against him. “please, please, fuck me, please.”He whimpered, down enough to not resist begging for what he wanted.

“Probably not.”Alais said wincing a little at the knowledge steve had gotten out of bed for her before sighing, nodding a little. “We do.”she said not wanting to go into it more, before nodding. “it was. It was like since he couldn’t understand why I was crying, and he couldn’t help, he thought the flowers would help. Not sure why, but he came back with them.”Alais shrugged a little before snickering. “Hm, rouge would have definitely killed someone.”she snickered watching him go, before smiling at the food, before thinking about it. “Italian.”she reqeusted taking the package, smiling as she started to eat.
 
he grinned at the other. "yes. very good boy." Johnny praised Tony. "oh, well since you asked so nicely." he agreed, pressing into the other and setting a slow pace for just a moment, to make sure Tony was open, loose, and wet enough for a good hard fucking before pressing Tony down into the bed with a hand between his shoulder blades, his other hand on Tony's hip, holding him still while he fucked the daylights out of his lover. he fisted Tony's cock, stroking him off and moaned, tossing his head back and cumming inside of Tony with a shudder and a moan. "fuck you always feel so good." he moaned with a grin.

he nodded a little and gently patted her shoulder. "it's nice that he cared about you, i wasn't expecting this kind of behavior for months." he admitted. "then again, i'm not sure hw long something like this takes, i'd have to ask Nat." he admitted. "it's nice to see him emotionally invested in something other than art though. even back before the war he only really paid attention to a few things. me, our Ma, and his art. once the War started he became obsessed with that. not very healthy." he admitted with a shake of his head. "it's nice to see him focusing on a person for once." he admitted. he grinned and handed her the Italian before pouring Caesar dressing all over his own salad, watching Steve sleep.
 
Tony moaned gasping as the other sank into him, whimpering as he squirmed under the other, gasping as he was pushed down and pulled up all at once, whimpering as he came, shivering as he slumped down onto the bed iwth a tired, happy, drowsy smile. “You feel amazing to. Always.”Tony muttered sighing quietly, relaxing.

“I know. It is quite amazing really.”She agreed before smiling, “we’ll ask clint when we go back to the tower.”Alais said before tilting her head, smiling a little. “Well, that’s good then. Though I think he’s only focusing on me that I’m the on;y thing that’s stayed the same for him. From the mission with Scott when everything went wrong, to now.”she shrugged a little as she ate, settling in to eat and watch steve, soon enough dozing herself on steve’s shoulder.
 
he chuckled a little and kissed Tony's temple. "will you be at the tower when i get up or will you be sleeping in?" he asked, he didn't care if Tony left in the middle of the night but he liked to know how much Coffee to make.

"Clint would know?" James wondered. "i suppose he would. he did rescue her originally right?" he asked, head tilted. "it's likely." he admitted. "still, it's a good thing. i'm not going to question how it came about." he admitted.

in the morning, Steve was up again and was staring at a pad of paper in his lap, holding a pencil. it had taken three 'show and tells' from James before Steve understood the purpose. unfortunately, his artistry had not survived and he had drawn a mass of squiggles, swirls and dots. he seamed to be enjoying himself at least, even if James was sitting in the corner, face in hands trying to keep himself together. Steve looked up at her and happily presented his... ah, picture to her.
 
“Here. Sleeping in. Haven’t sleep. Gotta sleep, Jamie said he’d call and make sure I slept.”He muttered snuggling into the blankets with a sigh.

“Hm, probably.”Alais said looking thoughtful before nodding.”He did.”She agreed before nodding. “Neither am I.”She smiled watching steve sleep.

Looking at the two worriedly as she rubbed her eyes, waking up slowly, before smiling slightly at the sight of steve drawing, even if it pained her to see such a brilliant artist reduced to simply drawing squiggles and swirls. Swallowing thickly as she looked at the drawing she smiled. “Oh, that’s so good Winter. Good.”She smiled at him, ruffling his hair a little, reassuring him it was good before moving over to james. Crouching down in front of him, gently touching his wrists, “Jamie?How can I help?”She said moments away from calling tony to get him to come back.
 
Steve offered her a smile and then resumed his scribbling, uncaring about anything else, completely focused on watching the pencil glide over the paper. "they took everything..." James whispered. "he can't even draw, he doesn't talk but for commands. i asked him if he wanted anything and he just stared at me. i asked him if he was hungry and he just stared. he didn't know it. i asked him if he wanted to eat and he just.... " he bit back the urge to start crying. "he can't even draw anymore, that was all he had for so long and now he can't..." he mumbled, looking up at her. "it's like i've lost him all over again."
 
Alais swallowed hard, tightening her hands on his wrists, “We knew this was going to be hard, James. Harder then we could ever imagine. We’ll feed him, and he is drawing. Yes, its not what he used to do, but he understood the concept. He’s...”she growled frustrated for a moment. “He’s...like a child.”She said eyes widening as she thought about it. “James, he’s a adult...but he’s a child to. We just have to reteach him everything. Every child starts out drawing with scribbles.”She said before pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Do you want me to call tony, tell him we’re on our way?I can travel with Steve alone, if you want to see about going to see him now...”She said knowing tony would make him feel better.
 
he twitched a little when her hands tightened and looked up at her, blinking wet eyes in a desperate attempt to keep from crying. "he's so broken." he whispered. how could they have taken Steve's art from him!? how could they have done this?! Art was all Steve had for so long and now all he could do was... "...your right." he said, started. "your right, Ma kept the scribbles we started drawing as kids. just to show us that sometimes you have to start from nothing to accomplish something..." he shook his head. "no. Tony needs some time to himself, if we push him too hard we'll have two broken men to deal with." he admitted, wiping his eyes before gasping when Steve staggered over to them and handed Alais the pad. on it, was a drawn dandelion, a little more squiggly than normal, but all the parts where there, even if they where a bit shaky. he had even drawn the fluffy seeds flying away and the leaves. "...Steve?" "Dandelion." the Soldier corrected, pointing at the picture. James chuckled a little, wiping his eyes again. "thanks Soldier. it's perfect." James said, reaching for the pad of paper, only to get glared at and the pad jerked away. clearly Steve didn't want to share with James. nothing new there. James had to chuckle.
 
“he is. But we knew he would be. Its just hard to see it.”Alais muttered trying to calm him before nodding. “I am. We’ll just have to remember, and re-teach him all over again.”She smiled nodding at his words, before sighing. Nodding a little.”Okay. We’ll leave tony.”She said trusting that he knew what would be best for the brunette before startling as steve staggered over, looking up at him as she smiled. “So it is. A very good dandelion actually.”Alais said smiling before laughing as steve jerked it away, reaching for it. “thanks Winter.”She smiled amused that steve didn’t want to share with james.
 
he nodded. "it is hard." he muttered. "we can re-teach him, i had to do that before. teach him how to talk and write again, and read." he admitted. "the experiments they did to him where.... horrible. Steve never stopped having nightmares." he admitted. "i don't know if Soldier will have them, but once he starts reverting back i can only imagine we'll be awake each night to calm him down." he admitted, running a hand through his hair. "we'll have to have a rotation in place or no one will get any sleep." he admitted before smiling a little at Steve. "he's a lefty, so i imagine if he had his prosthetic it'd be a bit better." he admitted. "he was always an amazing artist." he mumbled before snickering at Steve's possessiveness, even if Steve did let Alais have it. he wasn't happy about it, but he let her have it. "well. he's feeling better at least." James admitted with a smile, feeling much better. "i'll go ad get breakfast." he decided. "waffles sound okay to you?" he asked her.
 
“See, it’s just doing something you’ve already done. You just have to remember how to do it.”Alais smiled before wincing, “...Well. I’m sure he will have them. And we’ll figure out how to let everyone get sleep.”She promised ruffling his hair a little before nodding slightly, “Even in the squiggles, I can see that. Otherwise he wouldn’t have figured that out so quickly. How to draw it.”She said smiling before handing it back, having simply wanted to see if he’d let her have it. “Kept it. It’s yours.”She smiled at the shoulder before nodding, “Waffles sounds good.”She said before looking at steve, then at james. “We could take him for a short walk, up to the kitchen, let him eat with the rest of us.”
