shoutout to my beta who i wont name incase they dont want me to! 

@schwergaeneuser @msmynx @im-tops-bottom @jacksonfrost24 @seven-oomen @el-rezet @thoughtfulbreadpolice @cwar1864 @starsofyggdrasil you guys all asked to be tagged in future chapters and here you go! sorry for the long ass wait! 

Groaning, Tony opened his dark, whisky brown eyes that look up at a thankfully darkened ceiling. Soothing low lights illuminate the area but aren’t enough to hurt his eyes, allowing him to get awareness slowly and at his own pace. Whoever had the foresight to dim the lights, he will send them a massive fruit basket to show his appreciation.  

Turning his head to the side, Tony takes in more of his surroundings as he tries to figure out what on earth happened, and just where the hell he is. 

To his surprise, Tony can see what looks like a lab beyond the area he is in. While he looks, a Wakandan in a lab coat strolls by, talking to their…wrist? Confused, Tony winces as he slowly sits up, rubbing at his chest and arm as he feels his limbs protest the movement.  

Setting his feet onto the floor, he notes that his clothes from earlier, the ones he recalls wearing on his flight, have been replaced by a dark blue tunic with black, very loose linen trousers. Both are far more comfortable than they should be, and Tony wondered if they would let him keep the clothes if he asked nicely. 

“I see you are finally awake,” 

Jumping (and no he did not scream!) and craning his neck to look over his shoulder, Tony spots Shuri; recongising her from their video calls from before. 

“What happened? Last thing I remember was being on the plane…” 

Playing with the beads on her wrist, Shuri walked around the table to stand in front of the elder Omega, smiling at him, though in her eyes Tony can see a cheeky glint. An easy to miss look that makes Tony think of Peter. 

“How are you feeling? M’Baku found you in a pool of mud and water. Very lucky you were here in Wakanda when the accident occurred. Anywhere else and you would still be bruised and broken.” 

“Whoa wait, how long has it been since you guys found me?” 

Brow furrowing in confusion yet intrigue, Tony tries to stand and is happy to find that he can do so perfectly, even if he is a little groggy still. 

“Oh, about 3 hours? I’ve been improving our healing system lately!” 

Smiling brightly and obviously proud of herself, Shuri helped him move away from the table and slowly led him to a lab chair. She offered him a drink of water which Tony gratefully accepted, downing it as fast as he could without making himself sick. Putting the cup down and breathing heavily, Tony’s eyes widened in shock and no small amount of awe. 

“Three hours?!” 

Damn Wakanda really is superior huh? Tony shook his head and tucked away his questions for another time, though he would love nothing more right now than to take a look at the system Shuri was using and learn how it all works. Tony quickly brought his focus back to the main issue. 

“Does anyone know what exactly happened? What caused the accident?” 

Sitting down near him, Shuri gave him her full attention. 

“I just checked in with T’Challa before you woke up. The are looking through the ruins as we speak and T’Challa said he is cataloguing everything they find and if they spot anything weird, they will let you look over it. I also have scanning equipment to look for any electrical faults or tampering” 

Rubbing his forehead, Tony sighed heavily as he tried to think of anything that could have gone wrong. The aircraft was one that he’d built and put together mostly by himself, anything he hadn’t done himself he had Friday overlook and monitor. However, if its not the actual craft that was compromised, then that leaves the horrible option that someone had snuck something onto the plane without Tony or Friday realizing. And that honestly frightens him far more. 

From the grim look that Shuri is giving him, she knows exactly what he’s thinking. 

“Thank you Shuri, for healing me and to your brother for looking over the plane for me,” 

Waving away his thanks Shuri grins at him, her upbeat personality coming back through. “Don’t thank me, I kinda wanted an excuse to show off something to you” 

Giving her a grin of his own Tony looks back over to the area he had just been laying in. 

“I am thoroughly impressed already and cannot wait to see more inventions from you”  

Bouncing in her seat, her body practically vibrating in excitement, Shuri grabs his arm to pull him up as she stands. “let’s start the tour!” 

Without waiting for Tony to reply, Shuri drags him off to show him around her lab, introducing him to the various scientist that are currently working on one project or another. Tony loved the moving black model pedestal. The black matter moving fluidly to bring up whatever is needed, be it floor plans or models of objects. Essentially a much better version of a hologram.  

When Shuri showed him the bigger version in the middle of the floor that allows her to remotely drive a vehicle from the lab, Tony lost it and insisted on her giving him a demo of it. Like children in a toy shop, they got stuck into their own little world. 

They were so engrossed in what they where doing that they completely missed M’Baku entering with Bucky following behind, carrying a tray of food for Shuri and Tony. The duo had intercepted the original person carrying it and insisted on delivering it themselves. M’Baku brought them to a stop a few feet away, watching the now healed Stark chat away with the younger genius. 

Bucky stood a little bit awkwardly behind M’Baku, as the last time he and Stark had met face to face…bad shit happened. He didn’t want to hurt Stark, the poor omega had been hurt enough as it is; yet his concern had won out and convinced him to keep checking on Stark’s progress as he healed. M’Baku was much bolder than him though. 

They watched for a while longer as the two geniuses spoke at the speed of light, Tony screaming and eagerly testing out each invention. Firing questions and saying words that M’Baku could not keep up with nor hope to understand. Amused, M’Baku makes his way closer calling out in a sudden booming voice to catch their attention. 

“Food! That is if you two can drag yourselves away from the toys long enough to eat it,” Smirking when Tony and Shuri jump, M’Baku helps Bucky put the food on a near by counter for them. 

Rolling her eyes, Shuri gets up and helps tony before deactivating the invention they were playing with. 

“How did you get in? I thought I banned you after the 5 times you guys asking if Tony was better?” 

Looking over the plates, Shuri oohs at the variety of foods that had been prepared for them, many of which would be easier for Tony to eat if he was still feeling a little off. Behind her, Tony catches sight of Barnes and pauses briefly as he takes everything in. 

Barnes looks hopelessly nervous and scared stood behind the larger Wakandan, the red robe like clothing actually looks good on him, the blue sling around the stump where his arm used to be is done in a tasteful manner which doesn’t drag your attention overly to it. Hell, Tony can even admit that Barnes looks healthier overall, his hair looks fluffy and is longer, a small portion pulled back into a bun. Tony is not afraid to admit that Barnes looks handsome. 

Wakanda obviously agrees with him. 

“You look good Barnes” 

Freezing slightly, Bucky looks up at Tony in surprise that Tony is actually acknowledging him. Nodding his head slowly and drawing himself up to stand a bit straighter, Bucky gives Tony a small, soft and shy smile. 

“So do you” 

Huffing in amusement, Tony plucks up from fruit to eat to keep his hands and mouth busy as he feels an uncharacteristic shyness overtake him. 

“Thanks, considering I was a wreck 3 hours ago, I take that as a big compliment” 

Between them, M’Baku looks between them with growing glee at how adorably shy these two are. Yes, he knows that things were not that great between these two not so long ago, but it seems to be fixable judging by what he’s just seen. Deciding to think more on this later; and possibly make a plan to help these two fix the gap between them. M’Baku pulls out a bottle of juice that his tribe had made themselves. 

“I brought this as well, it’s meant to help with any aches. Would you like to try some?” 

Humming in thought, Tony looks the larger Alpha up and down in a considering manner. Growing up rich, Tony had gotten used to expecting many Alphas having a motive behind many of their actions. Some more sinister than others. However, this alpha seems genuine enough.  

“Sure! As they say, when in Rome do as Roman’s do huh?” Tony flashes M’Baku his most harmless yet charming smile. 

Oh, M’Baku thinks, I’m in trouble. 

[takaraphoenix]

M'Baku and Bucky trying to learn how to flirt with the master of flirting.... "Wait you learned how to flirt via Steve Rogers?".... After Tony calms down he smiles towards the two men and says "hit me with everything you got"

(uuuh, I changed it a little bit, hope it’s okay xD)

"Hello, beautiful. Come here often?"

Tony coughed as he accidentally swallowed his cocktail wrong. Really? That line? Cocking one eyebrow, he turned to look at the man who had spoken. Just to sputter some more. Wow. That was – a lot of man. He was tall, broad, muscular, handsome.

"Not really. The borders only opened recently and this is my first stay in Wakanda."

"I'm M'Baku, leader of the mountain tribe", said the handsome man in ways of introduction.

"Tony Stark", countered Tony with an amused smile.

"Oh, I know who you are. T'Challa talks about you a lot", hummed M'Baku.

"Only good things, I hope", grinned Tony. "Bagheera and I have been in corespondence a lot."

Which was true. After turning on Tony's team during the 'Civil War', T'Challa had reached out to Tony. The two had been working on redefining the Accords together and T'Challa had given his word that if the Avengers faced true danger, like the invasion of New York, and needed back-up, Black Panther would be there. It was good to have the king on his side. There weren't many people in his corner these days, not since the others had left and the Avengers broke apart.

"Looking like you could need a savior from that brute, doll."

Tony raised both eyebrows. He may not have met M'Baku in person before, but he had heard enough about the leader of the Jabari tribe from both T'Challa and Shuri to know that insulting him was not a great idea. Though then M'Baku started laughing and pulled the man who had spoken closer. Tony's eyes widened surprised as he recognized the man. He had changed since Tony had last seen him. He looked – healthier. His hair was put in a bun, he was smiling amused, wearing casual clothes, well, casual for this region at least.

"Barnes", stated Tony slowly. "Shuri told me that your treatment had been effective, but..."

"I'm not back to my old self, but I think that's due to me not being that man anymore", mused Bucky as he came to stand on Tony's other side. "I go by... James these days. Trying to, you know, find myself. Who I am now. Wakanda is... good to me."

Tony nodded, wondering why James Barnes was sharing that with him, before James continued. "I figured I owe you that much. After... And I wanted to... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what I did. I know I didn't do it, my doctors keep working on that issue with me, but it was still my hand that did it and they were your... parents. I have to apologize to you for that."

Tony nodded once more before he sighed. "I know it wasn't you. I... suppose I owe you an apology too, for the way... I overreacted, I know that. I'm sorry too."

Bucky – no, James – shook his head slowly and got a drink of his own. "I don't blame you. You saw something... very traumatic, with no warning. Stevie, he should have... he should have told you."

"Now that you got that outta your way, you can leave again, goat boy. We were in the middle of something there when you interrupted", grunted M'Baku, staring pointedly at James.

"Can't do, gorilla man", huffed James with a smirk. "Surely the Tony Stark deserves better than your shitty, outdated pick-up lines, don't you think?"

"Because yours are any better, old man?", countered M'Baku, eyebrows raised.

"Excuse me, but what exactly are we doing here?", asked Tony, looking from one to the other.

"He's, very pathetically if I may add, trying to get into your pants", offered James.

"And you're my knight in shining armor?", snorted Tony amused.

"If you want to, doll", grinned James lightly.

And oh wow. That was it. That grin, it was the Bucky Barnes grin, the one that had made women in the 40s swoon and gasp. Tony hummed curiously at that, before M'Baku regained his attention with a large hand resting on Tony's arm. Tony turned to look at M'Baku and oh. Tony Stark had never felt more like prey than in that moment, with the way M'Baku stared down at him. Nice.

"You're both awful at this", noted Tony amused before emptying his drink. "The flirting. Really bad. It's good for you you're both handsome though, that puts one into a more forgiving mood. Still, I have a very important appointment with the princess and her lab, so if you'll excuse me."

The two men seemed to deflate a little, which was kind of adorable so Tony threw them a bone before he left. "Better luck next time, boys."

/break\

Tony was comfortably sprawled out at a pool the next time M'Baku and James found him. At least this time, he was more prepared. Not just thanks to the last meeting, but also because he had gotten some more info from Shuri, who was more than happy to be helpful in this case. Apparently, James hoarded goats now. Which, sure, why not, what else should be on a former assassin's retirement plan, right? And apparently, due to the mountain-y nature of the goats, he spent a lot of time in the mountains and had befriended M'Baku up there over time. Interesting.

"So, did it hurt when you arrived in Wakanda?", asked M'Baku with a cheesy grin.

"Why? Because I fell from heaven?", snorted Tony amused.

"No, because crawling outta hell must be exhausting and you are hot as hell, doll", offered James.

"You two are really bad", laughed Tony and shook his head. "Where did you learn to flirt?"

"Well, I never did", mused M'Baku with a frown. "I met my late wife when we were still children, we grew up together and then got married when we were old enough."

"Well, I don't... remember. I used to. Used to be good at flirting, but I guess it's one of the things I have to learn again?", offered James reluctantly.

Tony heaved a sigh at that. Way to kill the mood, on both of them. Not that Tony was one to talk; he hadn't done this in years either. His relationship with Pepper and how that ended over her wanting him to stop being Iron Man and him not being able to – it had been a while since he last had as much as a casual hook up. So maybe he should cut the two of them some slack.

"How about...", drawled Tony with a mischievous smile. "We simply skip the flirting?"

He rested one hand on each man's chest, while M'Baku and Bucky exchanged a surprised look. They had realized that they found Tony Stark more than attractive a while ago and had agreed on a friendly competition to see who could charm Tony first. This... was not the expected outcome.

"I'm game if you're game, gorilla man", offered James with a cocky grin.

"Oh, it is on, goat boy", huffed M'Baku and easily threw Tony over his shoulder.

man this chapter was just me self indulging in the little moments , that this got dragged on for over 6 pages XD hope everyone enjoys! @schwergaeneuser​ @msmynx​ @im-tops-bottom​ @jacksonfrost24​ @seven-oomen​ @el-rezet​ @thoughtfulbreadpolice​ @cwar1864​ @radiant-gift​ @tonakings​ @starsofyggdrasil​

“Found anything yet General?”

T’Challa approached Okoye slowly, hands clasped behind his back as he surveys the wreck of Stark’s craft. Besides him, Okoye calls out instructions to those investigating the craft; trying to work out just how exactly things went wrong. What caused it to crash the way it did?

The plane is completely destroyed. The beautifully crafted and sleek craft now a pile of metal sheets and sparking wires. The front of the plane is still relatively intact but crumpled from the force of the crash. The pilot that they had pulled free was thankfully still just alive and taken away for intensive care. Not long after they had found Tony. Most of the damage is from the rear of the plane, making it the most likely spot where whatever caused the accident is.

Surrounding the plane is serval groups of a mixture of scientists and the Dora Milaje. Smoothing down his jacket, T’Challa makes his way closer to a group near the back of the wreck who are becoming a bit more animated. Okoye shadowing right behind him.

“Looks like we just did sir”

Taking the lead just in-case, Okoye joins the group that are carefully removing rubble from what was once a storage part of the plane possibly. Using scanners and other various tech that T’Challa hasn’t a clue how to use, and no doubt recent inventions of his brilliant sister; the group scan a smoking black object they found.

Even T’Challa can see that this box must have been the cause of the explosion, the top of whatever this was meant to of been, was blown off. Jagged, black metal warped and split by the force of the explosion that came from it and the intense heat the explosion caused at the time. As it is, there is currently no way to tell what exactly this was.

After a few moments, the team determined that whatever this was, is no longer a danger. With great care, two scientists don some thick gloves incase the metal is still too hot; they carefully pick up and turn the object around. Examining and recording each observation they find.

“Your Majesty, we found something. It’s a logo we think,”

Frowning, T’Challa makes his way to stand by the scientists to see what it is they have found on the item.

Hammer Industries.

T’Challa recongises this logo, it’s the logo of industrialist: Justin Hammer. A man that has been trying to out do Tony’s tech since the very beginning of Tony’s career if he recalls correctly. T’Challa’s not stupid either, he’s read the tabloids and papers, he knows that Tony openly despises Hammer, especially after the whole Vanko incident a while back.

So why was something with Hammer’s logo, be on Tony’s plane?

“Do you think the explosion was intended?”

Recongising the logo herself, Okoye glances up at him with a frown, both know that Hammer’s tech was faulty at best and downright dysfunctional at worst. They have seen the videos; they saw the reports that were kept out of public eyes. They found all this from research after Hammer had reached out to them, not long after they decided to open their borders to the world. To share their resources.

Hammer had not been happy when they had turned him down in favour of working with Stark, the alpha had made a few jokes, but they could clearly see that the man had felt slighted.

“Perhaps, but for Mr. Stark or us I cannot be sure. It could have been something innocent that just happened to malfunction. I’m not sure which idea would be the better option…” T’Challa nods at the scientist that found it. “Please take this to the lab, find out as much as you can about this thing. I must go and Talk to Stark about this, see if he can shred any light on this,”

Confident that everything is in good hands, a few quick words with Okoye to look out for anything more from Hammer that may have been snuck onto the plane.

~ ~ ~

When T’Challa reached the lab, he expected to see many things to be happening in there. Many odd and curious things that his sister had cooked up or wanted him to try out. Yet despite this expectation, he was still not prepared to see what greeted him.

Shuri was stood to one side of the room, her beads activated to record the scene before her, a massive grin spread across her face as she watches the others with pure joy.

The others in question where trying to unlock some sort of Vibranium ball that was shut tight around Bucky’s leg. The ball in question has a series of purple lines over it and looks like a overly complicated puzzle, similar to the Japanese puzzles. Only more Vibranium and made by his delightful sister.

Trying to work out the Puzzle is Tony and M’Baku who are both trying to yank the ball off and hitting it with a club. However, that approach seems to only yield the result of them being flung away from Bucky. Who at this point was starting to look a bit alarmed. Swearing and cursing in his native tongue, M’Baku tossed aside the club he picked up; glaring at Shuri all the while as she laughs at them. “You! the hell kind of puzzle is this?”

“Work it out!” Grinning without restraint, Shuri moves to get a better view to film them. Tony had picked himself up already and was examining the ball closely, his face drawn into a contemplative scowl as he nudges the ball this way and that. While an anxious Bucky looks on.

Shaking his head bemusedly, T’Challa makes his way over to his sister. Seemingly unable to keep his eyes off of the trio, a grin forming on his own face; watching M’Baku trying to pry the edges open. Seeming determined to use brute force to solve this issue.  

“What is that sister?”

“It’s a toy, I came up with the idea for it last week while trying to solve that puzzle Nakia got me. Who better to test it than our guests?”

The cheeky, shit eating grin Shuri has speaks volumes as to how much joy this is bringing her. Watching one of the smartest people on the earth, try and solve something she made. And from the looks of it, Tony seems to be enjoying solving it.

The Omega is grinning as another idea of M’Baku’s fails, meaning that the large alpha will have to bend to the balls will and try and solve it. Already Tony is making suggestions as he converses quietly with the two alphas. T’Challa smiles as he watches before remembering why he came here in the first place.

“I must speak with Tony soon as you guys are finished here Shuri, we found something on the plane.”

“What did you find brother?”

“Trouble I fear, Hammer tech was on board…”

Frowning at that, Shuri looks up at her brother confused.

“Hammer tech? On Tony’s plane?”

Nodding, T’Challa watches as Tony starts to move sections of the ball, lining up the purple lines and pressing grooves to move other parts within. The genius seemed to be doing well at first, confidently moving the ball around. Until Suddenly Tony comes to a stop and looks a bit stumped. His hands hovering but hesitating. Humming lightly, Tony converses with the other two who now seem more focused, all three looking closely as they can at the puzzle.

Watching the trio was giving T’Challa ideas for team building exercise; also, a way to prank Okoye for her antelope in headlights comment.

After a further 20 minutes of watching the trio try and solve the ball; Tony knows he’s close to solving it, he was just struggling to work out the last bit to finally free Bucky from the wretched thing! Shuri finally takes pity and gives them a hint, a gentle nudge in the right direction. “You idiots” Shuri laughs as she walks over to them, “try turning that part the other way and press that symbol…there see! Not that hard!”

Grinning down at the three grown men with wicked delight, Shuri carefully picks up the ball and way from Bucky’s poor legs.

“That is some genius engineering there kiddo,” Pulling himself to his feet, Tony smiles at the teen, he genuinely means what he say and he cannot wait to see what this kid will bring into the future. Dusting off his clothes while M’Baku helps Bucky to his feet behind him, Tony spots T’Challa nearby finally.

“Tony, I would like to speak with you if you are well enough to?”

Nodding in acknowledgement, Tony makes his way over. Unaware of twin looks of concern that follow him out of the room.

Leading Tony to another, more private room, T’Challa gestures for Tony to take a seat at a sleek glass table. Taking a seat next to Tony T’Challa offers the omega some water and food that he had sent to this room before hand for them.

“How are you feeling Stark?”

Puffing out his cheeks as he leans back into the stupidly comfortable chair, Tony takes some sort of sweet bread and takes a nibble. Humming his approval as he swallows.

“These are great! What is it called? Pep would love these,” Taking another bite Tony turns his attention fully onto T’Challa. “I’m not to bad actually, which is nothing short of a miracle if I recall I was in a hell of a lot of pain earlier. When you found me that is. While I’m impressed by the medical care, I really wish I hadn’t been on the receiving end of it”

Chuckling a bit in agreement, T’Challa nods at that, “agreed, we had planned on showing you that stuff but well, I do often hear you like to try things yourself”

Snorting, Tony stuffs another bite down his throat, he likes T’Challa. The guy is down to earth and relatable, not at all stuck up like you would expect from someone from a high standing in life. Like how Tony was in his youth.

Pulling on a more serious face now, T’Challa leans forwards a bit. “Stark-“ “Tony”

“Tony” T’Challa smiles briefly at the correction but continues, “we found something on your plane that we believe shouldn’t have been onboard. I would like to confirm it with you.”

Pausing in his eating, Tony gestures for T’Challa to carry on as he drinks some water. T’Challa fortunately, waits till Tony has put his drink down before explaining what he found. Describing the charred object as best as he can and even brings up a picture that Okoye sent him. Humming contemplatively, Tony regards the object with interest.

“We found something else on this object, a lead.” T’Challa switches the picture to show the logo that they had found.

Hands closing into tight fists on the table where his arms were resting, Tony glares at the image, the all to familiar logo making his jaw clench in anger.

“Hammer…how the fuck did Justin get that on bored?” seething internally, Tony practically spits out Justin’s name as if it was bile in his mouth. “I’m going to need a phone to contact Jarvis or a computer, need to get Jarvis to retrieve some footage so I can find out how exactly that weasel pulled this off,”

“of course,” T’Challa soothes as he gets rids of the images, his voice soft and comforting as he speaks to the upset omega. “Shuri should be able to help you in the lab, if you would like I can have my people review the footages for you? You still need rest Tony, despite how well you may feel. It took a lot of energy to heal you”

Rubbing a hand over his face, its true that despite the amazing healing he had received, Tony was still very tired and starting to get a bit shaky on his feet. His stomach rumbling loudly for food even though food was the last thing on his mind right then.

While Tony so wanted to go through it all himself, he knew that what T’Challa was offering made more sense. Tony needs to rest and heal properly.

Damn, it seems that Tony was finally growing up and accepting help.

Huffing in tired amusement at his thoughts, Pepper would probably have a heart attack if she was here. Tony nods at T’Challa.

“I’ll tell Jarvis to send them to Shuri then, thankyou T’Challa,”

Inclining his head at Tony, T’Challa stands and helps Tony stand, leading him back to the lab where M’Baku and Bucky were still hanging around near Shuri. Both quickly standing to attention when Tony came back and both taking note of how tired Tony suddenly seemed again.

“I shell ask for more food to be sent,” M’Baku murmurs quietly before walking quickly away to the door. Shuri shouting after him to send it to the guest room that has been prepared for Tony.

“You ok Doll?”

Tony peeks up at Bucky, his face drawn up in concern as he takes a few hesitant steps towards Tony. Flashing Bucky a tired grin, Tony nods at him.

“Just need some food and rest Buckaroo, saving your ass from the Vibranium ball was hard work,”

Relaxing a bit at that, a shy grin on his own face, Bucky chuckles at that. “I make a good Damsel though, you gotta admit”

“Eh 6/10”

“As amusing as this is, Tony should rest,” Shuri grins at them, a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes. “Tony, your room is right next to Bucky’s. I hope that’s ok? It’s in a private wing of the palace”

Hesitantly Tony seems to mull over something in his mind before quietly speaking, “Are the others in that wing as well?”

The others he’s referring to of course being the rouge Avengers. Steve, Natasha, Sam and Clint and Wanda. The fights of what was dubbed the ‘Civil War’ were still to fresh for Tony, His anger at Steve still to raw.

Tony’s come to understand their view, in fact he pretty much always did, but he could also understand the public’s view. Tony had also had enough time since the fights, to calm down and think more rationally about the Winter Soldier being the one to kill his parents. Not an accident like he had thought.

The anger that was once the forefront emotion whenever he thought about it, had turned to pity and sadness for Bucky. Tony was not proud of how he reacted, being usually so clear headed in battles and able to keep a distance from the situation to not allow his emotions to rule him.

Tony was hoping to bend that bridge with Bucky, if the poor guy was willing to of course.

Understanding Tony’s fears T’Challa shook his head, “The former Avengers have rooms elsewhere. We gave Bucky the area your rooms are in because he asked for a room away from everyone while he still had active triggers. They are, thankfully, gone now. It will just be you two”

Shoulders relaxing minutely, Tony nods at that.

“Care to show me the way Metallica?”

Confused at that reference but deciding not to ask for now, Bucky agrees to show Tony the way. Keeping his strides short and slow for Tony so that the omega isn’t rushing after the Bucky, they leave the room. Leaving the Wakandan siblings and a few working lab techies behind.

sharing is caring 5 sneak peak

sneak peak of chapter 5, unedited so this may change. 

Making sure to keep his body posture relaxed, calling on his Showman Stark persona a bit to give off an air of indifference, Tony makes his way to the ridiculously comfy looking sofas and armchairs. Seriously, how is everything so much comfier looking? Tony needs the name of T’Challa’s supplier.

 “Got something on your mind Elsa?”

Mouth opening and closing a few times, Bucky mulls over in his head what he wants to say as he carefully sits in a chair opposite Tony; noticeably much closer to the door as well.

Keeping quiet, Tony gives Bucky time to gather his thoughts and what he wants to say, Tony almost wishes for the much more relaxed atmosphere in the lab from earlier, but unfortunately in an adult world you gotta adult.  

Finally, Bucky seems to have found the words he wants to say.

 “Why are you being nice to me? Not that I’m not complaining! I’m just…I didn’t expect… I expected you to hate me, be cold towards me after…” Bucky trails off, both knowing the event he means.

 Humming to himself, Tony leans back into the cushions and barely holds in a whimper of joy at how he just sinks into the cushions.
