Above Stark Industries, Saturday morning

[heroic_jawline]

Steve woke up swimming in his pajamas--not really new--and warm--which was new. He blinked his eyes open, glanced around and then padded out into the kitchen. "Hello?" he called as he opened the huge icebox, which was full of food.

"Anyone here?" he asked, pulling out eggs (why were they being kept cold? So weird) and milk and fruit and carefully avoiding the giant bottle labeled "protein drink" which sounded super icky.

Comments

Tony sighed in annoyance, grabbing a slightly scorched egg to eat. "No one cares who started it."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve sighed. "That's what Bucky says too."

[imafuturist]

"Well, Bucky's right." Because Tony was right.

[heroic_jawline]

"Not always," Steve said stubbornly.

[imafuturist]

Steve was 50% stubbornness and 50% medical issues, wasn't he?

"About this he is," Tony insisted. "You should ask him to help if you won't avoid them."

[heroic_jawline]

"He helps without me askin'," Steve said. "Then he yells at me for bein' stubborn."

Bucky was wise beyond his years.

[imafuturist]

"For not asking."

[heroic_jawline]

"Maybe," Steve admitted, stuffing bacon into his face.

[imafuturist]

"I should talk to Bucky," Tony decided.

So he could sigh with someone. And probably shyly ask if he got his name because he's a Captain America fan too.

[heroic_jawline]

"I don't know if he's here," Steve said, sounding a little wibbly.

[imafuturist]

"We can find him!" Tony could totally do that. "Where did you see him last?"

[heroic_jawline]

"When I left him at his house yesterday after school," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"We can look him up in the phonebook." Oh god, it was so old fashioned.

[heroic_jawline]

"I don't think he's in the phone book," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Everyone's in the phone book," Tony replied like it was obvious.

[heroic_jawline]

"Ma and I don't have a phone," Steve said.

So there, Tony.

[imafuturist]

Okay, that made no sense, okay? None.

"How?"

[heroic_jawline]

Steve shrugged. "There's only one in the building."

[imafuturist]

"In the whole building?" Tony asked, voice going high in confusion. "How do you call people then?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Normally by openin' the window and hollering," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"No one would hear you!" Tony lived in a mansion with large grounds surrounding it. Because he was rich. Rich, you see.

[heroic_jawline]

"Course they do," Steve said. "Widow Mooney's got ears like a bat and is the biggest gossip on the block. She knows where everyone is."

[imafuturist]

"...we have a maid like that," Tony admitted.

[heroic_jawline]

"You have a maid?!"

Steve was so impressed.

[imafuturist]

"Just a few." Which made it better.
