Tony bleeding out after fighting bad guys : Is he staring at me?
Rhodey trying to stop the bleeding : Of course heâs staring at you, youâre bleeding out.
Tony : But is he staring at me in an "ahh heâs bleeding out!" Or "ahh he looks so hot when heâs bleeding out!" way?
Rhodey no longer putting pressure on the wound to stare at Tony blankly :
Rhodey : What.
Pepper : Heâs staring at you in an "ahh heâs bleeding out!" type of way. Why would he think itâs hot?!
Stephen staring at Tony in a "ahh heâs looks so hot when heâs bleeding out!" way : I mean...
Wong : For fuck sake!

Since Marvel decided to broke us all with Rhodey's story, I decided to ruin myself -and every single person who's reading this- even more.

Rhodey looked at the sky to see if Tony, with the Iron Man suit, was up there and if he was coming for him.

I remember watching Iron Man 3 and getting so so so obsessed with Rhodey's arms that I dreamed about him fucking me while I held onto his biceps all the time lol once the obsession toned down a little, it was mostly dreams about threesomes with Rhodey and Tony. Honestly, dreams about threesomes with Tony and Rhodey happen more often than I'd like to admit here
Now thatâs a threesome to have! And that youâve had multiple dreams of those??? The things theyâd do!!! Love it đ¤đ¤
Thanks for sharing!

Sassy Peter is a MENACE.
not only is he a menace he's also a spitting image of Tony when he was younger.
No.
Not his playboy days, or his snarky remark days.
The days where Tony would ramble on like the nerdy scientist he is.
So that's why, when rhodey comes back, seeing a nerdy little kid with curly brown hair that strikingly resembled tonys, He didn't question it.
He simply patted Peter on the back and went to go grab Tony to interrogate the poor man on why he kept his nephew from him.

Tony having a list of habits of the avengers that annoy him yet also altering the entirety of the compound to meet those habits.
Tony: You realize how annoying it is to have you in my vents?? Just let me breathe my 5 million dollar air in peace
Also Tony installing a proper scanner which doesn't ring any alarms if Barton is in the vents but instead just makes in a video compilation of each time he falls.
Tony: Thor I swear to the Gods. If you take one more Pop tart from me I wil-
Also Tony bulge buying Pop tarts for every time Thor visits.
Tony: Cap how do you not kn- No being frozen for 80 years is no excuse. This is vital part of history, No I don't care that it's "just a show" this changed lives
Also Tony installing a "Cap is confused again" Protocol on FRIDAY for each time there's anything Steve doesn't understand which might be basic knowledge to everyone else so FRIDAY can give him a summary of it all.
Tony: Nat you need to stop hiding weapons everywhere. I can't be going around finding machetes in the compound!
Also Tony providing her as much space she needs for her weapons in each room if that's what she needs to feel safe.
Tony: No! No magic. Wanda you go through my head again and I swear you'll regret it. My therapist quit, you think you can handle it? Nuh uh this is a magic free household young lady.
Also Tony installing a whole new simulation based training room so she can practice her magic properly.
Tony: Bucky, I know I'm rich but can you please stop crushing my equipment and cups
Also Tony very gently talking to Bucky about everything he is doing step by step as he checks up Bucky's arm. Giving him his own room with open windows so he doesn't feel trapped with every bit of little hobby he might pick up from knitting to painting to playing the piano. A bookshelf with the entire limited edition of The Hobbit and every 40s music he might like. And some more recent songs in case he decides to "stop being old".
Tony: Strange I need you to stop doing that shit. I understand you're a wizard but don't they have rules for that? Like no magic outside of Hogwarts until you're 17? None of that weird stuff in the tower... ever.
Also Tony creating a special meditating room for Stephen with Pink Floyd playing where he can just calm down for a while in the tower and somehow a room in the mirror dimension when he really wants peace and quiet.
Tony: Vision I know you're an AI who is very interested in human nature and I am flattered but I swear if I hear one more explosion because you tried to learn knitting or the piano I will find an off switch whether or not you have one.
Also Tony making every single hobby Vision wants to pick up possible in the best way. Providing him his own kitchen to getting him a piano teacher because he wanted to experience "learning by being taught"
Tony: Banner I get that you have everything under control which is great but my lab is not big enough for The Hulk
Also Tony making his lab big enough. Getting him his own lab. Making sure he had everything he needed to calm down when he couldn't control the Hulk. Labeling him as the "strongest avenger". Getting him a therapist. Making sure he never feels alone yet always has peace
Tony: Rhodey you need to understand that when I say I'm fine I'm fine. You act like such a party pooper you know that?
Also Tony who trusts Rhodey with his life and everything. Making sure Rhodey never feels lesser than. Who couldn't be more grateful that Rhodey stuck by him throughout everything and always stayed. Tony always turning to him for advice and no matter how much he acts like Rhodey is being a bummer always takes his words to heart.
Tony: Peter.... Don't walk on the ceiling! Oh my God don't die! What the hell kid please don't explode your homework again! Your aunt is going to KILL me! You mess with the suit again and I- No , you can't borrow my suit what do you mean? I told you to stay back, tell me what you interpreted that as? No the adults are talking.
Also Tony doing everything that kid wants no matter what. Making sure his suit is so safe that he might as well be immortal. Buying him everything he even remotely suggests to liking. He has his own room in the tower cause of all the time he spends in the labs.
"You want to test out this new thing with your webs but it requires this extremely expensive and toxic chemical? As long as you wear proper protection!"
"you said you had to write about a famous place you went to but since you haven't travelled much you were gonna write about the Stark exhibition or times square.....So I got you these world tour tickets. I think they hit every landmark , just message me the ones they don't and I'll handle it. And don't worry there are two so your aunt can go with you"

Philophobia
(PART 1)
Pairing: Joaquin Torres x Stark!Reader
Summary: Devastated by your fatherâs death and cutting yourself off from everyone, you are on the road of recovery, accompanied by your uncle Rhodey. After Rhodey has finally convinced you, you agree to reunite with Sam Wilson and help him with his tech. He introduces you to another techie nerd, named Joaquin Torres, for the first time. Will you let your phobia get in the way and push away your new found family and this beautiful boy? Or will you get better and let yourself be loved once again?
Warnings: Mentions of Death and Depression/Depressive episodes, Mentions of Panic Attacks, Abuse by a parent (not Tony), Weight loss due to stress, Nightmares, Some cursing, Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Steve Rogers Slander- please donât read this if thatâs not something youâre looking for, Reader is sassy and a bit reserved because of The incident and because theyâre a Stark, Reader has some phobias, Found family, also thereâs a few references and hidden plots in this. đ (please keep in mind that I wrote this from my point of view as a south asian.)
Authorâs note: I probably went overboard and this is very long + very self indulgentâŚ.but tony stark is the father who raised me and joaquin torres is my boyfriend so i Had to do this. âşď¸ also lots of found family content with Rhodey, Sam and Bucky. Set around the time of TFATWS. Please let me know if thereâs any changes to be made if I have written anything wrong.
Moving back to New York was extremely hard and painful for you ever since your dad passed away. That was the city that you were born and raised in and it had the ghosts of your fatherâs and familyâs moments everywhere. But you told Pepper that you couldnât handle living in that cabin anymore because 1. you were going stir crazy since you loved the hustle bustle of a city and 2. the depressive episodes were more frequent than ever.
Youâd think living in your family cabin that has your fatherâs memories written across every wall would help youâŚbut youâre a Stark. Ignoring your own problems and running away from emotions is kind of your specialty. Hereditary, even.
Pepper, bless her heart, told you that sheâs happy you are trying to get back your life back on track and that she would always be there for you. Even if you called her Pepper, sheâs always been your Mother.
Hardest part of it all was saying goodbye to Morgan. Little Morgan who was so attached to you and vice versa. She was too young to even process her fatherâs death, how was she supposed to understand why her elder sibling was never leaving their room? And now that same sibling was going too far away from their house. It took Pepper, Happy and you to console Morgan and she was finally ready to send you offâonly with a (pinky) promise of visiting her during holidays.
Rhodey and Happy helped you settle in your newest house- a penthouse in manhattan that your dad left behind for you. That was 3 months ago. Now, fully settled in your new space, youâve decided to restart college to finish your degree that was put on pause because of a giant purple psycho. You had decided you will stop the whole Avenger shit the moment you lost your dad. You needed to leave that life behind in order to move on, and what better than being filthy educated and eventually finding a normal job?
Well, letâs just say it didnât go as planned.
I mean, really, were you expecting to just magically heal from the most traumatic time of your life in three months, with no therapy or contact from your family and friends?
Panic attacks are like your best friends. The other day you had a panic attack because you found a scarf that was gifted to you by your dad. Embarrassing, really.
Nightmares are something you have been walking hand-in-hand with since your dad was kidnapped and you were just a little kid. But now, every night you close your eyes and you see your fatherâs lifeless eyes staring back into yours.So itâs not surprising that you have become insomniac as well.
Overall, you were continuing the Stark legacy of being severely mentally ill but not doing anything to help it or accepting any help. The only difference was that you chose NOT to drink until you blacked out because after watching your dad do that as a kid, you developed a strong distaste for any type of alcohol. It was so bad, that you got diagnosed with dispophobiaâ a persistent fear of drinking alcohol. Itâs real, look it up.
You chose the other optionâpushing everyone around you away until you wallowed in your misery, loneliness and sorrows.
This behaviour of yours was constantly stressing Pepper, Rhodey and Happy out. All three of them did their best to help you and make you socialise, but everytime they approached, you either ignored their calls and messages or told them you were busy (by busy you meant that you were tinkering on your fatherâs old suits that you moved to your apartment, but you didnât tell them that.)
Even FRIDAY tried giving them updates on your well-being but you had threatened the AI to not âleakâ any of your âinformationâ. This was giving the three of them a major dĂŠjĂ vu. Eventually, they had enough and Rhodey came to your house one day because he knew heâs the only one who can call out your shit. He kinda had a Phd in tackling the Stark familyâs issues.
âLook kid, itâs been 3 months. You havenât bothered to call or text any of us. We didnât even know if you were alive since you have banned FRIDAY from reporting anything to us as well. Can you please spend one evening with us for a dinner? Hell, if not all of us,then atleast meet up with Morgan?â, Rhodey said firmly with his eyebrows furrowed and arms folded tightly around his chest, leaning on your kitchen island.
You were making your dinner when he decided to come over. Trying your best to be nonchalant, you kept stirring the soup with your back to him, and scoffed, âYou sound exactly like dad sometimes.â
Rhodey closed his eyes in frustration. âThatâs not important right now. Youâre doing the same thing that Tony did when he was feeling all these⌠emotions. Please, stop this kiddo. Youâve got all of us. Always. Just reach out once and weâll be there to catch youâ, he replied in a soft tone.
You took a deep breath and he saw your shoulders go up and down. You stopped stirring the soup, turned the gas off and turned around to face him.
You wrapped your arms around yourself, making yourself smaller, and intently focused on your shoes to avoid meeting his eyes.
âThereâs nothing to ask. Iâve already told you I will be starting college soon. Iâll keep myself productive and occupied. Itâll be alright, donât worry about meâ, you say, your voice scratchy after not using it for a long time.
Rhodey observed you with his sharp gaze. You knew you were screwed the moment you saw Rhodey at the door because he could read you like a book. Honestly, it was extremely intimidating but you will never admit that to his face. Heâs been around for your whole life- right from your birth. He knew you like you were his own child.
âFRIDAY, activate babysitter protocolâ, he said, his voice stern.
You snapped your gaze up from your shoes to stare at him in confusion.
âOn it Mr. Rhodesâ, FRIDAY replied.
âWhat the hell is this?â, you replied narrowing your eyes at him.
âI know you blocked FRIDAY from telling us anything about you. Did you know Tony had an emergency protocol built in so that if thereâs anything that went wrong while you were alone, FRIDAY would update him?â, Rhodey replied nonchalantly.
You widened your eyes and immediately teared up on hearing how protective your dad was over you. You were too tired to fight back so you just shut your eyes and wrapped your arms around your body tighter.
âFRIDAY, give me a proper run down of the kidâs activities and schedule in this past month. Including their healthâ, Rhodey asked the AI while observing you closely.
âOK sir. In this month, they have stepped out of the house only once for buying groceries. The rest of the month theyâve been at home, fixing Mr Starkâs suitsâ, FRIDAY finished.
At this, Rhodeyâs eyes widened. âTonyâs suits? How did you even get these suits?â âThey sneaked in the suits 2 months ago, Sirâ, Rhodeyâs eyes snapped back to yours. 2 months ago- right after you moved in. The suits were at the new compound and they were heavily guarded.
They shouldâve known better because did they really expect you, a genius like your father, to not figure out how to hack the systems? It was a cakewalk for you.
You scrunched your eyes in shame and bowed your head. âKidâŚ.â, he sighed.
âTell me about their health, FRIâ, Rhodey asked in a pained voice.
âTheyâve had panic attacks almost every week. I suggested taking medication or visiting the therapist, but my requests were ignored. Iâve also observed a spike in their heartbeat everytime a loud noise is heard. They have nightmares regularly due to which they have stopped sleeping altogether. All the stress has made them lose weight, their appetite has lessened and has made them more irritable and unpredictableâ, FRIDAY finished (snitched, you think).
Hearing it from someone else made it sound so much worse. You couldnât stop the tears from rolling down your face.
You were too busy keeping the sobs from coming out of your mouth to notice Rhodey coming closer and wrapping his arms around you. He brought you closer and hugged you tightly and that completely broke you.
You leaned your head against his chest and wrapped your arms around his torso and just sobbed. Rhodey hushed you gently and rubbed your back softly with one of his hands.
âIâm sorry. Iâm so sorry. I canât deal with this, Uncle. Please. I need him backâ, you said in between sobs while clutching him tightly and pressing your face into his chest. Rhodey teared up at this and put one of his hands behind your head.
âItâs okay, sweetheart. Let it out. Iâm so sorry I didnât visit you sooner. I know what youâre feeling. But Iâve got you now. Please allow me to help you?â, he said weakly.
You let out a shuddering breath and tried to calm yourself down. âOkay. â, you replied in a weak voice. Rhodey broke the hug before putting his hands on your shoulders and let you wipe your tears. He caressed your head and told you, âWeâre gonna get you something to eat first. From tomorrow, we will work on your routine and talk to your therapist about your insomnia and panic attacks. And then, you will be taking lots of rest. No more tinkering on the suits endlessly or skipping meals. We will go on walks and you will have a dinner with us at the cabin soon. That okay?â, he asked gently. You looked up at him and nodded your head yes. âGood. Now, you sit your ass down and Rest. Let me prepare your dinnerâ, he says while moving around you to get to the stove. âDo you even know how to turn on the stove?â, you say in a stuffy voice while wiping your nose with your sleeve and side eyeing him. He abruptly pauses and turns around. âYouâre such a little shit, you know that?â, he says sassily while pointing a finger at you. That brings out a genuine smile from you and you just chuckle before he starts laughing as well. Your smile fades slowly. âThank you. This means a lot to me,â you reply softly. Both of your eyes start tearing up and he just nods his head before giving you a side hug. âAnything for my favourite Starkâ, he says in a shaky voice.
2 Months Later
You and Rhodey fell into a rhythm after that night. He stayed with you for some days and got you checked with your therapist and helped you around the house. He took you out for jogs every morning, made you work out and exercise every day. This made you feel productive and gave you a routine to follow. It also improved your appetite and you started to genuinely enjoy making healthy and filling meals.
You stopped unnecessarily tinkering on the suits and the medicines prescribed by your doctor helped you sleep better. You still had a long way to go but you had finally started stepping out of the house and went to a dinner at the cabin. Happy, Pepper and Morgan were so delighted to see you and they told you how proud they are of you. You just gave all the credit to your uncle Rhodey.
Rhodey had become a major figure in your life lately. Heâd always been there for you and your dad but now he was like a teacher and mentor to you. All thanks to him, you could get your life back on track. And he was happy to help you anyways because you were like his own child.
But heâd started to take you to various social events lately and you HATED that. You were always a shy and socially anxious kid (a complete opposite of your father.) So the thought of attending social events where so many people and cameras were presentâŚthat was enough to send you into an early grave.
âRhodeyâŚ.for the last time. Iâm not going with you. What am I even gonna do there? Sit and yawn while all you military and political people make speeches? No thanksâ, you said breathlessly and jogged a little ahead of him.
He joined you immediately, huffing and puffing, âFirst of all.â Huff. âSlow DOWN. Jesus Christ.â Huff. And he stopped while putting his hands on his knees.
âKeep up, lazy! We gotta keep THE War Machine kicking and alive, come on!â, you say while jogging backwards and smiling at him.
When you saw that he was not going to join you, you stopped and jogged over to him. âLazy, my ass. Iâm 60 years old, you little shitâ, he said while looking up at you, eyes narrowed and hands still on his knees. Still huffing and puffing.
You chuckled and helped him stand up with your arm around his back and another arm holding his. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. You wanna sit down? Might as well drink some water, Iâm thirsty.â
He nods his head yes and both of you sit down on a nearby bench and take a breather. Youâre quiet for sometime, soaking in the crisp morning air and looking at the water fountain in front of you when Rhodey speaks up.
âI know you hate these events. But, please come to this one. We have a reunion in order, anywaysâ, he says cheekily while looking at you with that big smile of his plastered on his face.
You turned your head to look at him and raised your eyebrow, âReunion? With whom?â, you ask skeptically. âPlease donât say Steve Rogers, Rhodey. I swear to god, I will never step foot in this city againâ, you say, irritated.
He scoffed, âNah, donât worry. Thatâs never happening. Itâs Sam. Heâs been telling me that he wants to meet you.â
You observed his face for a second to see if he was being serious. âSam? Sam Wilson? Why would he want to meet me?â, you asked, confused. Ever since the Sokovia Accords were brought into existence and ever since you sided with your father, Steve and the others didnât want anything to do with your family. But you didnât have anything against any of themâ well, except for Steve. That was personal.
Even back then, you told your dad that you thought Bucky was innocent and that you want him to forgive Bucky somehow. You never met your grandparents so their accident/murder didnât affect you. And you especially didnât give a fuck about your deadbeat grandfather who would abuse your dad, but you felt your dadâs anger was justified as he loved his mom. You didnât have an issue with Sam either. Not even when Rhodey met with that fatal accident that made him lose his legs. You saw the footage, and Rhodey told you as well, that Sam simply dodged. He didnât cause the fall, nor did he injure him on purpose. The fall happened because his suit malfunctioned. But since Steve was the glue that was holding them together, they avoided talking to you at all. They were simply being loyal. And we all know how Steve Rogers thanked their loyalty in the end.
You would never forgive him for breaking your dysfunctional-found-family apart by being a selfish asshole and by abandoning your dad when he needed his support the most.
Rhodey shrugged. âDunno. But he was looking forward to meeting you. Heâs the kindest man I know, kid. And I know you donât hold a grudge against him either. Please, come with me. I promise we will go get some ice cream laterâ, he said earnestly and smiled.
You let out a deep sigh. âChocolate chips. Double scoopâ, you said and lifted your water bottle to drink to avoid looking at his smug expression.
âOh, you shall get anything you ask for, your highnessâ, he said while extravagantly bowing at you.
You just smirked and got back up to jog.
The constant clicking of the cameras was quickly causing a throbbing ache to appear behind your eyes. You were dressed in your formal clothes, presentable as always, and entered the museum arm-in-arm with Rhodey.
After giving a thousand repetitive interviews, half of which Rhodey denied on your behalf, you finally saw the man in questionâSam Wilson. Captain America.
Honestly, you were so proud of and excited for him to take up the mantle. It wasnât a shock that Steve handed over that shield to Sam. He deserved it.
He saw the two of you and came over to talk. As he came closer, you saw just how shocked he was to see you there.
âWhats up, man? How are you?â, Sam said while shaking hands with Rhodey and bringing him in for a hug, all the while flashing his lovely, tooth-gaped smile.
Rhodey patted his back and broke away from the hug. âThe usual. I got a surprise for youâ, Rhodey said while putting an arm around your shoulder.
Sam, still surprised, flashed another one of his smiles at you.
âI just canât believe youâre here. I hope you know how grateful I amâ, he said earnestly while putting his hand out to shake yours.
You looked at his hand and shook it. âIâm surprised you wanted to meet meâ, you say while smirking at him.
His smile faded after hearing that and he looked at you with a solemn expression.
âYeah. Iâm sorry it took me so long. I-â âMr. Wilson, itâs your turn to speak.â Sam looked back at the woman and nodded his head at her.
âUhâŚIâll catch up with you after all this is done. Please wait until then?â, Sam turned around and asked you, nervously.
Rhodey looked at you to decipher your reaction. âOkay. Iâll wait. But not for long and not in front of these camerasâ, you say coolly.
Sam smiles at you and Rhodey before approaching the stage.
âSee? That wasnât so badâ, Rhodey says while leading you to sit at the front row.
âWeâll see about thatâ not the front row, Rhodes... Itâs like you want me to run awayâ, you groaned while slowing your pace.
Rhodey just laughs and pats your shoulder. âCome on, Iâll be next to you the whole time. You can even crush my hand if you want to.â
You and Rhodey sat down and watched Sam approach the stage.
Sam looked sharp in his well-fitted suit but something about his expression screamed anxiety.
He began his speech.
âSteve represented the best in all of us. Courageous, righteous, hopeful. And he mastered posing stoicallyâ, everyone chuckled at that. You scoffed.
âThe world has been forever changed. A few months ago, billions of people reappeared after five years away, sending the world into turmoil. We need new heroes. Ones suited for the times we're in. Symbols...are nothing without the women and men that give them meaning. And this thing...â, he chuckles before picking up the shield and continuing.
âI don't know if there's ever been a greater symbol. But it's more about the man who propped it up, and he's gone. So, today we honor Steve's legacy. But also, we look to the future. So, thank you, Captain America. But this belongs to youâ, Sam concluded and handed over the shield to the museum security who then put encased it in a glass case. The camera flashes went off.
You couldnât believe this was happening. You knew something was wrong the moment Sam stepped up on the stage. Your mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.
You furrowed your eyebrows and turned your head to look at Rhodey.
âWhy did he give up the shield?â, you asked confused.
Rhodey solemnly smiled.
âMaybe try talking to Sam about this?â, he explained to you, gently.
You nodded your head in understanding.
Rhodey went over to talk to Sam while you checked out the other exhibits to give them a little privacy.
You ended up looking at Buckyâs exhibit.
They were displaying those clips of him in the 40s, smiling and free of all the pain, and they made your heart clench in sadness and guilt. He deserved better.
âStill canât believe bionic staring machine was a heartbreaker back thenâ, you heard Samâs voice behind you.
You looked at him and smirked.
âAs if heâs not a heartbreaker anymore. Those baby blueâs? Could break a grandmaâs heart too, which is funny because he would still be older than herâ, you joked and looked back at the display.
Sam stood to your right with his hands in his pockets. He laughed at your joke and looked up at the TV displaying Steve and Bucky together.
He let out a sigh and brought his lips together in a thin line.
You looked over to him and studied his profile observed the way he carried tension in his shoulders.
âPenny for your thoughts?â, you asked him gently.
He shut his eyes and looked down, letting out another deep sigh.
âKidâŚIâm sorryâ, he said, his voice heavy with guilt.
You furrowed your brows.
âFor what?â, you asked, genuinely confused.
Sam finally looked up at you with teary eyes. His brows scrunched together.
âEverything. The accordsâŚRhodeyâs acci- injuries. For-for not making an attempt to maintain contact with you, for-â
âHey. Donât. Iâm not angry about any of that. I never was. And I will never hold a grudge against anyone that wasnât on my da- on our sideâ, you cut him off and explained to him firmly. âAnd if Rhodey isnât upset about his accident, then who am I to question it? I know you didnât dodge. It was an accident. I saw the footage way back then, Samâ, you laid your hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
He was overcome with emotion. He deflated as if yearsâ worth of weight on his shoulders had been lifted off of him. He simply nodded his head.
âIf anything, Iâm sorry. For everything you had to go through. I hope youâre doing better, nowâ, you continued.
Sam gave you a half smile.
âYeah, Iâm good. Helpinâ out my sister with the house and my nephews.â
You raised your eyebrows, surprised. You didnât know he had a sister or nephews.
Sam chuckled. âYeahâŚI got a younger sister and 2 nephewsâ AJ and Cass.â
You smiled. âI had no idea. Iâm glad you guys can live together againâ, you replied sincerely.
âThank you, kid. I had no idea youâre soâŚ.niceâ, he smirked.
You let out a loud laugh. Contrary to popular belief and rumours, you were a good and polite kid. Your dad, Pepper, Rhodey and Happy made sure of that. It was always funny to find out how people would judge you on the basis of your last name. But, it could also be because of your resting bitch face.
Both of you quieted down and looked at the display once again, when you decided to finally bring it up.
âSam, whyâd you give up the shield?â, you asked curiously.
He pursed his lips.
âThat shield is heavy. And I donât know if this country is ready to see a man like me bear the weight of it. No matter how many times everyone keeps telling me that it was Steveâs choice, they donât know the consequences of me being Captain America until they wear my shoes. Steve didnât know it either because at the end of the day, our skin colour doesnât match and that isnât suitable for the shieldâ, he replied heavily.
It felt like someone had put cold water on top of you, his words cutting straight through your ignorance. The pressure that Sam was undergoing would never be understood by anyone who didnât look like him. Thatâs why Rhodey was so understanding of his decision.
You straightened up.
âOh. Sam, Iâm so sorry. I didnât-â, you paused to gather your thoughts and word them carefully. âYeah, Iâm sorry. I shouldâve known better. I understand. And I respect your decisionâ, you replied, genuine understanding dripping from your words.
Sam looked at you, surprised. He wasnât expecting you to understand his situation.
âThatâs- itâs..alright kid. Thank you for understanding me. It means a lotâ, he replied sincerely and patted your shoulder.
You were about to take his leave when he spoke up.
âListen, I got a proposal for you.â
You quirked an eyebrow.
âJustâŚhear me out, okay? Rhodey told me to keep an eye out for you whenever heâs busy. Says you do well with discipline in your routine. If you donât mind, you could join me and help me out with the tech stuff, you know?â, he said hesitantly.
You were about to deny his offer when he put his hands out in a placating gesture.
âI know, itâs been a long time. Youâre not interested in this stuff anymore. But I could use some extra hands and who better than a Stark to help out with technology, right? And, who knows, maybe youâll make a friendâ, he tried to convince you.
âA friend? You think Iâm some loner or what, Wilson? (You kind of were, a loner, but we will ignore that.) And just who is this friend?â, you asked him with narrowed eyes.
âHeâs my new team member. A tech savvy nerd, like you. Youâll get along, trust me. Except Iâll warn you, that boy yaps a Lotâ, Sam replied while chuckling.
That sounded way too familiar to you. You immediately froze and just stared at Sam, lost in thought. All those unwanted and painful memories were coming back to you.
Sam put his hand on your shoulder and you snapped out of your stupor.
âYou donât have to answer me immediately. Take your time, the offer is always open for you. Okay?â, he asked hopefully, ever the optimistic counselor.
You let out a big sigh.
âI donât know. Iâll seeâ, you murmured. You could feel that uneasy feeling creep up your veins that told you to shut down, keep everyone away and to run somewhere far away where you could be isolated in peace.
You were finally feeling comfortable in your little bubble that consisted of you, Rhodey, Pepper, Happy and Morgan. Now you had to go out and make yourself accommodating and welcoming again. You had to repeat everything and start from scratch. It was a lot. You were not ready for that.
Healing is never linear, you knew that. But you were doing so well for the past two months. You clenched your fists and begged your mind to keep it together. You were pretty good at masking it.
Sam just nodded his head and patted your arm.
âCome on, Iâll walk you and Rhodey off.â
You both returned to Rhodey and said your goodbyes.
âSee ya, old man. Take care of yoâself, alright?â, Sam said while hugging Rhodey.
âYou too, Wilsonâ, Rhodey said before breaking the hug and patting Samâs back.
âIâm proud of you, Sam. Never forget thatâ, Rhodey said gently.
Sam just smiled weakly and patted Rhodeyâs shoulder before turning to look at you.
You looked at him and gave him a barely there smile before surprising him with a hug. You donât know what came over you but you just wanted him to know that you appreciated his support and the conversation that you two had back there. Your words failed you, so you did the next best thing you knewâ a hug.
He looked at Rhodey over your shoulder and patted your back like an older brother.
âTake care, kid. Think about what I saidâ, he said after breaking off the hug.
You simply nodded your head yes.
âAnd both of you are invited to the family cookout, alright? Rhodes, make sure you bring them with you. Sarah makes a mean cornbreadâ, Sam says while pointing at you.
Rhodey chuckles and you grin before departing.
You sat in the car and looked out of the window, deep in thought. You were processing your conversation with Sam and debating whether you should join him, or not. You couldnât help but keep thinking about this friend that he mentioned and how he reminded you too much of-
âWhatcha thinkinâ?â, Rhodey asked lightly, as if to not startle you.
You glanced back at him and turned your attention to the front of the car. You sighed softly.
âHad a good chat with Sam. We apologised to each other and sorted out our misconceptions.â
âThatâs good, right?â, Rhodey asked and tilted his head to look at you.
You nodded. âYeah. It was really nice to clear all of that up. Heâs soâŚlovely to talk to. We also talked about his decision to give up the shield. I felt so stupid when he explained it to me. How could I not understand that beforehand?â, you said while clenching your jaw, feeling guilty for judging his decision.
Rhodey gave you a soft smile.
âAtleast youâre self-aware, sweetheartâ, he said lightly.
You finally gave him a smile.
âYeah. He also gave me an offer. To join himâ, you said hesitantly.
Rhodey smirked knowingly. Sam had already discussed this with him.
âAnd? Whatâre you thinking?â, Rhodey asked nonchalantly so as to not freak you out.
You let out a deep breath.
âI donât know. Iâll think over itâ, you replied with finality in your tone.
Rhodey felt the walls build up again so he backed off instead of pestering you to talk more.
âThatâs okay. You can take all the time you want, kid. Thereâs no rushâ, Rhodey said sincerely.
You looked at him and squeezed his hand.
âShall we go get that ice-cream now, your highness?â, Rhodey joked.
You finally let out a chuckle and nodded your head yes before turning your attention back towards the window. You let out a sigh.
You were not going to get any sleep tonight.
