Steve nodded, before looking at him warily. “It's going to hurt, right?”

Howard grimaced, before deciding to be honest with Steve. He didn't want to start their partnership with a lie.

"I'm afraid so. Your cells will have to grow all together, bringing your cell mass, muscle mass, skeletal tissue, epithelial tissue and general structures to a higher level. Your metabolism will speed up, and fatigue will be reduced. It will be a very quick process, so that means it will also hurt a lot.”

Steve looked at him with bleary eyes. “I understand until ‘I’m afraid so’. Then I only heard some rather difficult terms and finally again that it will ‘hurt a lot’.”

Relationship: Abraham Erskine & Steve Rogers, Steve Rogers & Howard Stark

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hold on, I still want you

During the events of Dark Phoenix, Jean doesn't kill Raven. She kills Charles.

Erik mourns the loss of his old friend.

Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier, Raven | Mystique & Charles Xavier, Hank McCoy & Charles Xavier, Jean Grey & Charles Xavier

You've already done enough.

Erik didn't know what he was doing, standing in front of the Westchester estate.

He should have left. He knew he was no longer wanted, not now, not after everything he had done, said, caused.

Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier

The Beginning of Everything

Charles Xavier was seventeen when he found out that were other mutants like him and his sister.

And he was seventeen when he helped the CIA against Shaw.

It does not matter.

“Jean almost died.” Raven gulped.

"Also Charles.” Erik shook his head. “When he jumped into the ocean for me, when he took a bullet in the back because of me, when Nur tried to possess him while he was saving me from myself…” Erik glanced at the girl. “Charles always takes risks for his students. For his children.”

Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier

The mistakes I made

Charles, Raven and Erik post-Apocalypse end in First Class time and meet their past selves.

Things are fixed.

Between the lines of fear and blame

“Charles?”

Her eyes widened, as she looked at her brother.

He changed, they both did. His hair were longer (his hair were dirtier), his eyes were always blue (he had dirty bags under them, as if he didn’t sleep since a long time), he was smiling (his features weren’t the same anymore, the time has passed for all of them, not kind with any of them).

“We’ve come for you, Erik and I.” Charles told her, kind and gentle, always kind and gentle. “Together.”

****

Or: A different way the scene in Paris could have gone (DOFP Canon Divergence)

Sunset light on us

The search for mutants wasn’t going badly.

Some were interested, some hesitant, but anyway, Charles just loved the feeling.

Finding them, talking to them, touching the surface of their minds…

Singing in the rain

Erik, confused and fascinated at the same time, shook his head, saying. "Really, Charles? After all this, you sing a song about singing in the rain? When it’s raining?".

Charles didn't respond right away, but instead continued to hum quietly, until he approached Erik.

Please, not again

When Moira started shooting at him, Erik wasn’t even surprised.

He wanted to scream at Charles that that was what humans did: they turned against the different, the special, the better, they fought against improvement because they knew they would be left behind, fought, defeated, forgotten.

You are the king to my queen

The next morning, the day of their mission in Cuba, Charles found a metal king outside his door.

We want the same thing

“NO!” Charles screamed, and for the first time in his life, he didn’t need to focus his power.

There was a simple choice: let Erik die or be enough to save him.

And Charles wasn’t going to lose Erik—not to a bullet.

For old times' sake

“Thanks, Erik.” Charles said, at the end of the old-time chess game. “It was fun.”

Erik smiled, putting the pieces away. “And you cheated only a couple times.”

“You can’t cheat at chess, Erik.” Charles shook his head, amused. “I thought you, of all people, would know that.”

Gimel

"I can do whatever I want with what I've won." Erik smiled, tilting his head and pushing the offered chocolate forward, trying to tempt Charles with that offer. "And believe me, watching you eat this chocolate is the only thing I want to do with my prize."

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

“I dedicate this to my unrequited love.” Charles smiled sheepishly. “And that’s such a cliché, isn’t it?”

Julie giggled. “Okay, lover boy! Show us what you wrote for your love.”

A hope of peace

He and Erik had that bond, Charles wasn't the only one who felt it, he was sure of it.

So, he had noticed the coin Erik sometimes played with, when he was lost in thought and his gaze would rest violently and intently on a wall, as if he were imagining something different, or someone different, right there in front of him.

I will always protect you

“Thank you.” Erik murmured into Charles’s hair as the two of them climbed into the jet that Erik had easily repaired with a wave of his hand.

“You don’t have to thank me, Erik.” Charles smiled. “There was no choice to make.”

The perfect blend

The only thing Charles couldn’t bear not to have was his cup of well-brewed English tea, not the American swill they tried to pass off as real English tea.

“Are you done insulting the American state and its soulless employees?” Erik gave him a bored look from the wheel of the car, having learned the hard way not to let Charles drive the car.

Or:

A conversation about tea brings Erik and Charles to share some things about Charles' past

Oh, this is a surprise

Erik couldn't be said to be unoriginal in his affections.

He could have said it so many times, during their road trip to find the mutants, during one of their chess games, or maybe while Moira was doing one of her dives demanding Charles' attention as if she had some right to that.

Instead, Erik had decided to use his actions.

I would always rather be happy than dignified

Cherik Jane Eyre AU

Not enough, too late

It was the only photo in that house, and it was ruined.

Like Charles.

You’re laying on top of your bed reading your favorite book, you’re so immersed in the fictional world you don’t hear the click of your door open, your boyfriend just came home from a long day at the office. Having to be professional all day has always exhausted him and you know exactly how he likes to unwind, you jump slightly as you come back to reality at the touch of his fingers on the back of your bare thigh, “shh, it’s just me baby,” his deep voice instantly soothes your nerves.

Goosebumps form all over your body as his hands wander up, he palms your ass through your skirt before lifting it up to expose your bare ass, a soft breath falls from his lips, “such a good girl, always keeping yourself accessible.” He praises, noting your lack of under garments. “Looks like that little pussy is already wet for me.” You hear the soft thud of his knees hitting the floor and can’t help but let out a soft yelp as he pulls your lower half towards the edge of the bed. You can feel your clit throbbing with anticipation as his breath ghosts across your aching core, that book you were reading is long forgotten.

A needy whimper leaves your mouth as his tongue makes contact with your cunt, your legs tremble from the immediate pleasure that courses through your body, the vibrations of his hums of satisfaction sends shocks of pleasure to your clit. “I’ve been thinking about this all day, my favorite meal.” He says against your flesh and begins to devour your core with hunger, your brain completely turns off as your body is taken over by pleasure. His tongue knows your body better than you do, every little flick sends you closer to the edge. You reach around and grip a handful of his hair as you feel yourself start to come, your whole body shakes violently when you go over the edge. He holds you steady as he finishes lapping up your juices before slowly pulling back, “I needed that, baby, thank you.” He says softly and places a soft kiss on your ass cheek before pulling your skirt back down, standing up, and getting on the bed beside you.

MCU Timeline: Captain America: The First Avenger

March 10, 1917 - James Buchanan Barnes is born.

August 15, 1917 - Howard Anthony Stark is born.

July 4, 1918 - Steven Grant Rogers is born.

April 9, 1919 - Margaret "Peggy" Carter is born.

Why 1919 (deleted scene from The Avengers) and not 1921 (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), as stated in Wikipedia: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not canon for the MCU (events of the show take place in another universe, where Peggy was born in a different year and had a different background).

1934-1936 - young Peggy serves as a nurse in the British Air Force.

1936-1940 - Peggy serves in the Special Air Service.

1940:

Peggy joins the Strategic Scientific Reserve.

Howard founds Stark Industries and becomes its CEO.

May 1941 - Steven Rogers attends a Dodgers vs The Phillies baseball game at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.

March 1942 - Red Skull invades Norway and extracts the Tesseract.

1942/1943 - The Allies receive a gift from Wakanda: Vibranium. It is given to the SSR's Head Engineer - Howard Stark.

1943:

June 14:

13:50 - Steve gets his last 4F.

And his last beating in the alley a couple of hours later.

Evening - he and Bucky go to the "World Exposition of Tomorrow", where Howard demonstrates his (almost) flying car. Steve meets Dr. Erskine and gets a (falsified) 1A.

June 15:

Sergeant James Barnes heads to Europe with the 107th Infantry Regiment.

Candidate Rogers begins his trial week for Project Rebirth at Camp Lehigh in NJ.

June 21 - Dr. Erskine makes his choice and informs Rogers. They talk about it, about the serum and HYDRA.

June 22, morning - Steve becomes a super soldier. Erskine is killed. The last vial of serum is destroyed.

June 23:

Rogers is offered a position in the USO theater (to help sell war bonds) and receives a (fake) rank of captain.

Night - SSR (including Peggy and Howard) is being retasked to fight HYDRA and goes to London, UK.

July-October - Captain America's US tour (over 200 performances).

November 3rd:

Captain America show in Italy.

Night - Steve goes behind the lines to a HYDRA camp in Austria to rescue Bucky with the help of Peggy and Howard.

November 5th - he returns with 400 (CATFA) or 163 (CATWS) liberated soldiers.

A couple of days later - SSR in London. Based on the locations of HYDRA bases remembered by Rogers, they develop a plan to combat HYDRA. Steve puts together a team.

Marvel Studios' mistake: the medals and badges Steve wears don't make any sense at this particular moment. He simply had neither the time nor the opportunity to earn the Combat Infantry Badge, or the Presidential Unit Citation Badge, nor could he receive the American Defense Service Medal.

Next day, 8 am- Steve meets with Howard and receives his vibranium shield.

1944:

November 1943 - November 1944 - Howling Commandos destroy HYDRA weapons factories.

December 1944 - January 1945 - attack on the train with Dr. Zola. Bucky falls from the train from a great height and is declared killed in action. Zola is captured.

1945:

Soon after, early January - the Valkyrie is finished and ready to attack major US cities. SSR receives information about the location of HYDRA's main base in the Alps and heads there.

Next day - SSR attacks HYDRA's main base. Red Skull teleports to Vormir. The Tesseract is lost in the Arctic Ocean. Crash of the Valkyrie. Steve goes into suspended animation.

After January 1945 - Howard Stark leads expeditions to find Rogers. He finds the Tesseract, but not Captain.

March 23, 1945 - Case №17 is opened. James Barnes "joined" the HYDRA branch in the USSR.

May 8, 1945 - VE-Day.

Spring-Summer 1945 - Howard is involved in the Manhattan Project.

1946:

December 1945/January 1946 - Peggy is assigned to the SSR office in New York.

March 1946 - events of "Agent Carter" one-shot.

2012:

Early 2012 - 67 years later, Steve Rogers is found frozen but alive.

April 2012 - Rogers wakes up in the S.H.I.E.L.D. recovery room in New York City.

MCU Timeline: The Infinity Saga

[rulesofdisorder]

i still see team cap vs team ironman discourse on tiktok and the main reason people are team ironman is because bucky killed tony’s parents (which. isn’t what the teams are about, it’s about the sokovia accords but whatever) and actually. bucky killing tony’s parents is proof that team cap is the correct side.

because steve’s main issue with the sokovia accords is that in signing them the avengers “surrender their right to choose” and if they sign them, they will be essentially owned by the government. and steve says that the government is “run by people with agendas and agendas change.”

how does bucky killing the starks come into this? howard worked for the government. he worked for shield, and thus worked unknowingly for hydra, for years. until one day hydra decided that howard was a loose end that needed taken care of. shield’s (hydra’s) agenda changed. and when their agenda changed they sent in the winter soldier to kill howard and maria.

howard and maria’s death are directly caused by hydras control of the government. if the avengers signed the accords and something like the hydra infestation happened again, then they could be the ones sent in to neutralize these kind of “threats”. but threats to who? that’s the problem with the accords. bucky is an example, albeit an extreme example, of what the avengers could be made to do if they sign the accords. the winter soldier neutralized the threat of howard stark at the command of hydra, who had infiltrated the government. because hydra’s agenda included howard until it didn’t and that meant he had to die.

Steve, angry because Tony created another mess: ANTHONY EDWARD STARK

Tony, dropping his tools: oh no, Howard’s ghost found me.

[shamelessexplosions]

I'm about 8 years late with this but one thing in the Civil War dispute I have never seen anyone from either side point out (and I could just be completely wrong on this):

There is no indication Steve actually knew Bucky killed Tony's Parents

Steve knew it was Hydra because, and as far as I am aware ONLY because of Zola's little exposition scene in Winter Soldier where he shows a bunch of newspapers clippings of things Hydra is responsible for, including Howard and Maria Stark's death.

I repeat: things HYDRA is responsible for. So, yes, Cap knew Hydra killed the Starks, and knew Bucky was working for Hydra. That does not mean, because of that little exposition scene, Cap decided, 'oh yes, in the last 70 years Hydra has only had one man doing all their assassinations, so that must mean Bucky killed Howard and Maria.'

The thought it might have been him could have occurred to Steve, but either way, that would be a theory, and not something Steve has any reason to tell Tony.

For further proof, this exchange from Civil War straight after Tony & Steve watched the security footage:

Tony: "Did you know?"

Steve: "I didn't know it was him."

Tony: "Don't give me that shit, Rogers. Did you know?"

Steve: "...Yes."

To me at least, that 'yes' means Steve knew Hydra, as an organisation, killed Stark's parents, and he elected not to tell Tony, which he is shown to have found out in Winter Soldier so we know that. But his initial statement, "I didn't know it was him", we have no evidence wasn't entirely truthful.

(Whether Tony hears that 'yes' as 'yes I knew Bucky killed your parents' or 'yes I knew your parents death wasn't an accident/orchestrated by Hydra' is ...debatable, but either way I can't see any reason to believe Steve meant the latter, especially since he has already said he knew it wasn't Bucky specifically.)

Why didn't Steve tell Tony Hydra killed his parents?

I can think of a few reasons, whatever side of the Civil War divide you are you can probably come up with more:

1. Steve knew Zola was trying to distract Steve and Nat when he showed those newspapers, so was just trying to keep them engaged, and hinting there might be more to the death of an old friend and get Steve emotional would be a great way to do that. Steve might have suspected it was true, but with no actual evidence he didn't want to open Tony's old wounds.

2. The avengers were going after Hydra post-Winter Soldier, and Steve was worried about what Tony might do/how reckless he might be/didn't trust him enough to risk telling him the people they were targeting killed his parents.

3. It was more than 30 years in the past. If Steve didn't know it was Bucky, it would be likely the person who did it (or at least authorised it) was long dead or unfindable (again, 30 years cold case, no evidence except in a bunker in nowhere siberia that Zemo spent a year searching for when he knew exactly what he was trying to find), so there would be no justice to get, so it would be only hurting Tony for no reason.

But the point is there are a lot of reasons Steve wouldn't tell Tony (admittedly a lot aren't very good or wishful thinking, and Steve probably should have said something, but it is a common theme across the MCU that Steve doesn't always have as much faith in Tony as he should (and then sometimes Tony builds Ultron because he got scared and you can understand why Steve might not trust him when emotional), I'm not here to idolise either of them or say either were completely right in this movie, just point out one thing I see a lot of people complain about). A lot of those reasons don't hold if Steve knew that it was Bucky, and we will never know if Steve might have told him if he did, but you can't blame Steve for not telling Tony something he didn't know himself.

[faerieriddle]

I’d like to imagine in another universe Bucky and Steve make it back to New York after WWII. They moved just outside New York in a house with a gate and a garden. Bucky grows fruits that he uses in his pies and jams. Steve has an art studio in the room that gets the most light. They have a good relationship with the families that live in the downtown area. Their families visit and they don’t say a word about the ‘roommate’ situation. Bucky mentions to Becca one late night that Steve is essentially her brother-in-law. She smiles and says “you think I didn’t know you were in love with that boy since you were 12” and that’s all there is to it. It’s 1976 and they haven’t aged like they should’ve. The towns people notice but they don’t mention anything to the gossip rags. The newspapers stop asking for interviews after 1954. Shield comes knocking in 2012 with “alien” and “unknown threat” on their lips. Steve and Bucky haven’t grown grey hair yet. They don’t want to be back in the public eye but Tony, little Antonio, needs their help and protection.

Agent Carter text posts pt. 31/?

[chrishme]

Either Way | Jim Halpert x reader

summary: the office is shocked when you show up to work in a fancy red dress, however, your boyfriend Jim doesn't seem to mind.

warnings: reader is sexualized? michael being michael, kevin being kevin, dwight being dwight.

a/n: i orginally wrote this a long time ago and decided to change some things and post it. not proofread so sorry for any mistakes, enjoy!

•·.·''·.·•*ੈ✩‧₊˚.ೃ࿐*ೃ༄·˚ ༘ˏˋ°•*⁀➷⋆·˚ ༘

You always wore appropriate attire to work. Your normal attire normally consisted of sweaters or botton up tops with work pants. However, today was going to be different. You lived in a very tiny apartment. The thing was small and cramped, but hey, it was home. The building didn't home a washing machine nor did your apartment. Thankfully though there was a dry cleaners down the block.

The night before, you drove there quickly after work to go wash your clothes. You had a tendency to procrastinate with things like this, one of the many things Jim liked to tease you about. However, when when you showed up, it was closed. Apparently, the place was having lighting problems, which caused the washing machines and dryers to not be able to work. You would’ve drove to another dry cleaners but it was already so late, and everything was closed. So you only had one option. Your red dress.

The dress has stayed in the back of your closet for the past year. You had worn it once, way before you met Jim, back in your single and clubbing days. After that the dress stayed locked away, your normal attire around Jim being work attire or pajamas when he would come over to sleepover. In fact, you don't even think Jim had ever seen you in such attire like this red dress. You can only imagine his shocked dorky face he would display when you walked in. You giggled at the thought.

You take the dress out of your closet and hang it on your door, thankfully there’s no wrinkles. tYou couldn't lie, it was a very nice dress. It was bright red, and the length went slightly below the knee. The front was cute low, showing some cleavage in some angles. It hugged your curves beautifully. You sigh as you stare at yourself in the mirror. This was definitely not work attire.

You sigh and take the dress off, slipping on some pajamas, sending Jim a goodnight text, and drifting off into slumber.

The next morning you woke up late. You quickly scurry out of bed. “Shit shit shit.” Could this get any worse? Dwight will surely be up your ass for being late. You quickly put on the red dress, brushing out your hair and deciding to leave it down, not having any time to style it like you usually would. You quickly brushed your teeth, grabbing your bag and coat, hurrying out the door and to your car.

While on your way, your phone begins to ring. You look at it before grinning. Jim’s name popped up with a picture of the both of you. You answered, putting it on speaker phone and putting it in the cup holder. Safety first.

“Where are you? It’s 9:15. Michael is about to send Dwight out to check on you.” Jim stated anxiously, speaking lowly into the phone. You can now probably suspect that Dwight or Michael was around. You sigh, “Sorry. I woke up late. Don’t let Dwight leave the office. Oh, and please distract Michael when I come in.” You beg.

There is a slight pause from Jim, and you can picture his adorably confused face.

“Why?” He laughs lightly.

You smirk, “You’ll see. Okay love you see you soon.” You state, hanging up the call.

Back at the office, Jim gives his signature look to the camera.

You arrive at the office, walking in. You look at the window and see Jim talking to Michael in his office. You mentally thank him. You had a plan to try to keep your coat on for as long as possible because of your attire, but you soon realized that the office was rather toasty. You sigh, knowing you wouldn’t be comfortable with the coat on.

“Hey Pam.” You greet the receptionist . Pam smiles looking up at you, “Hey [y/n]...” her voice drawls out when you take off your coat. Her eyes widen. Seeing her, you quickly put the coat back on, covering back up. “Oh, is it really that bad? My dry cleaners shut down last night and all the other ones were closed. This is the only clean thing I had in my closet.” You panic.

“No, you look great [y/n] Its just, ya know...” she trails off, glancing to her left. You also look that way to see Kevin and Creed staring at you, well, the different parts of you. You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose stressfully.

“Don’t stress. Maybe Kelly has extra clothes for you to wear.” Pam suggest. You nod, giving the thought to the idea. “Let’s go check.” She states getting up. You and Pam quickly head to the Annex. Jim see’s you out of the corner of his eye.

Kelly inspects your outfit. “I don’t see what’s wrong with it. It’s super cute.” Kelly says looking you up and down. You sigh, “Kelly, that’s not the point. The dress is cute but you know how the guys in the office can be. Please tell me you have something for me to wear.”

Kelly shakes her head, “Sorry [y/n]. I don’t have anything.”

Meredith speaks up, “Actually I might have a pair of clothes in my van.” Your face lights up, “Really! What kind of clothes?” You ask.

Meredith thinks, “Uh, a mini skirt and a milf t-shirt.”

You sigh, “Yea nevermind.”

Jim comes through the annex and over to Kelly’s desk. “Hey girls, what’s goin on?” You turn around, facing him. His eyes widen. He was definitely curious about the whole debacle on the phone before, but he wasn't expecting this.

“You look...wow.” Jim states. You smile innocently, “Is that a good wow or bad wow?�� You smirk, walking towards him. Jim gulps, looking down at you as you look up at him with a innocent smile. Oh, you were so in for it later. “Oh, it’s a good wow. A very good wow.” His voice is breathy.

His hands go to your hips and he looks deeply into your eyes. Suddenly, realizing where he was. He jumps off of you, looking to the other girls of the office. They all stare at you guys with smiles on their faces.

“Uh, you look very good, [y/n]. That is all.” Jim extends his hand for you to shake. You laugh, “Well thank you good sir.” You shake his hand. A moment goes by, and your skin craves his touch, lips craving his. You can tell he felt it too by the look on his face.

“You know what, screw this.” He then grabs you be the face and kisses you passionately. You kiss back, smiling in between kisses. “Awwww.” Kelly drawls out. You and Jim separate, sending her a glance. She pouts, “Sorry.” You laugh and turn back to Jim, who looks at you in adoration. Your eyes widen when realization kicks in.

“Wait, if your here, where the hell is Michael?” You ask. Jim’s eyes widen. You both turn around. You watch in horror as everyone is surrounded at the annex window, watching. Kevin smiles and flashes a thumbs up your way. “Nice goin Jim.” He says, his famous smirk on his lips.

Dwight bursts through the doors, notepad in hand. “[y/n] you are late and wearing a very skippy dress. I’m gonna have to write you up.” Dwight says, doodling nonsense down on the paper. You raise an eyebrow at him, “Oh really? How are you allowed to do that?”

“It’s dress code. No offense [y/n] but those things are really distracting. Toby even said I should write you up.” Dwight says. You turn and glare at Toby, “Really Toby?” You ask with a scoff. Toby backs away, hands in his pockets and eyes to the floor, a sheepish grin on his face. "They are a distraction in the work place. It’s against dress code.”

“It’s literally a dress! I don’t understand the big deal. I’m a woman. I have breast. Deal with it!” You yell. The annex goes silent before the doors open again. Michael strolls in. You roll your eyes. Fantastic.

“What is going on here-“ Michael stops when he see’s you, his eyes immediately scanning you up and down. “Wow nice [y/n]. Is that what you’ve been hiding under those sweaters all the time?” Michael laughs, glancing at the camera. By this point your blood is boiling. “Oh my god!” You exclaim angrily, looking away from everyone, practically trying to hide. Jim catches your embarrassment and turns back to them.

“Ok! Can everyone stop talking about my girlfriends breast please. She’s uncomfortable and it’s honestly making me uncomfortable, alright?” He informs, voice broad but not mean or demanding. Kevin comes in the annex next. “How are you uncomfortable Jim? I bet those thing are nice and comfortable. Like a pillow.” He begins to giggle like a school boy.

That was the last straw for you. You turn and storm out of the annex, practically shoving Angela into the counter. “Hey!” She proclaims, giving you a dirty look before glaring unapprovingly at your outfit. You quickly head for the lobby, storming down the stairs and outside the establishment.

Jim watched you leave with a sigh. “Nice going Kev.” Jim says as he passes Kevin to go look for you. Kevin turns and shrugs. “What? I thought that would be a compliment.” Jim ignores him, following after you quickly, eager to make you feel better.

Pam sighs and crosses her arms, looking to Kevin in disapproval. “That’s not a compliment Kevin. You were basically sexualizing her.” Kevin turns, “Oh Pam, you’re just jealous that your boobs aren’t as big as [y/n]'s.” Pam glances at the camera in disbelief before looking down at her own chest.

Outside you sat on a curb near the doors of the warehouse, shivering against the cold. You were too enraged with anyone to have grabbed your coat. You turn and it’s hard to even let out a smile when Jim comes around the corner with his coat on, in his other hand he holds your coat as well, a sympathetic smile on his face.

When he gets to you he slips it on your shoulders, bringing some sort of warmth to your body. “Thanks.” You say bittersweetly.

“Eh no problem. Don’t want my girlfriend getting hypothermia” He chuckles, but it fades when you don’t do it back.

He sits down on the curb next to you. His body warmth feels good against your own, and you move in closer to him. His hand comes up and rests on your thigh, his thumb drawing circles along the skin. "I didn't mean to cause such a scene." You mumble with a laugh. Jim laughs back at you, wrapping his arm around your lower back, pushing you closer into him. You lean your head on his shoulder.

"I tried my best to keep Michael occupied, but you know how difficult that is." Jim explains to you with a laugh. You giggle, knowing that was true. Jim smiled at the sound of your laugh, pressing a chaste kiss against your forehead. You close your eyes and nuzzle into him. "You really do look beautiful in this dress." He compliments. You smile against him, "I'll try to wear it more, not in an office setting." You joke. Jim turns to face you, and you shiver when the warmth of his body leaves yours. He grabs the side of your face with a palm, hazel eyes boring into yours.

"I love you either way." he states before leaning down and giving you a kiss. Your eyes flutter closed, and your body melts into his. After that the two of you sit in comfortable silence, enjoying eachother’s warmth and company.

“C’mon. Let’s go back inside.” You say. Jim turns to you, an eyebrow raised. “Are you sure?” He asks. He was willing to stay out there all day with you if that’s what you wanted, and you knew that. You give him a warm smile, “Yes. I don’t want my boyfriend getting hypothermia.” You relay the joke he had made before. He chuckles, and you both make your way back inside the building.

The rest of the day at the office was normal. You had guessed your outburst from earlier made everyone want to stay away from you, which you didn’t mind. Kevin and Michael did walk over to your desk to apologize for their actions earlier. You happily accepted their apologies, Jim giving you a grin from across the room. You had guessed he had spoken to them about the displeasure you had with their comments.

After work, Jim came over to your apartment and you two watched some movies together. Although you did like the dress, it took you around five minutes to scramble into some pajamas, cuddling up with Jim on the couch.

“You look just as beautiful in pajamas, you know that?” The man teases you, popping a small peice of popcorn in his mouth. You smile and snuggle into him, “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

It still baffles me after 8 years that Rogers had over two years to tell Tony the truth about his parents' deaths. The audacity for Mr. Sometimes My Teammates Don't Tell Me Things, to lecture Tony about keeping secrets when he was holding onto one hell of a timebomb.

How hard would it have been to sit Tony down in a calm environment, maybe ask Rhodey or Pepper to be there too, and just fucking tell him?

There would still be rage, but controlled and without the trigger of said parent killer standing a few feet away.

Tony wasn't a black-and-white type of person. With time, he would've come to terms with the fact that it wasn't Bucky's fault. Maybe he would have even assisted with tracking him down and getting him help mentally.

What better way to avenge his parents' death than by removing the control Hydra had over an innocent man?
