"I didn't think you would really. but some Subs can remember what happened during Subspace... Codi can, that's why we have to be so damn careful with him. he doesn't have any insulation the way most do. i was worried i'd have to do some pretty serious aftercare for you." he admitted. "it's partly why i didn't make you stay this morning, i thought you where having a panic attack because of... you know... i pushed too hard or something. plus, the way you dropped, it was pretty sudden, that can mess with people too. i know if i drop without preparing for it, i'm pretty fucked up when i come back up." he admitted before smiling at him. "oh Tony. just because we rely on you, doesn't mean that youre responsible for us." he admitted. "you honestly think that we're going to let you take care of James all on your own?" he asked, looking amused. "you can't barely feed and care for yourself, of course i'm going to help you." he teased with a smile, hoping it would make Tony feel a little bit better. "we rely on you, yes, but you can rely on us too." he promised.
He could only smile as James clung to Tony and sobbed, sobbing himself out because he couldn't stop now that he had started. "Tony. he's asleep." Steve said, gently pulling James into his arms and settled him up onto the bed. "this is the most relaxed i've ever seen him. even before, you know?" he asked, smiling at Tony. "you did a good job." he frowned a little. "i'm going to go see what they... did to him. that was a hell of a reaction..." he admitted. "are you going to take a nap too? i was thinking of one, i have a hell of a headache." he admitted, rubbing the bruise on his head. "One of us, or both, shuld stay with James though, who knows how he's going to react to the subspace. i don't know that he's ever dropped before."
