Soulmates

Need You To

You, Steve and Bucky are all in your room, you're getting your shit together because you're determined to leave, Steve and Bucky are helping, even though they both think you should all just take a beat and wait til tomorrow to see if everyone calms down.

You hear a knock on the door and before you can say anything it opens and Tony walks in. "What do you want?" You ask dryly and look at him with daggers.

Steve and Bucky look over to the door and simply look at him. Neither on amused. Both angry at him for his outburst and for stressing you out but also knowing that wasn't really who Tony was.

They knew there was an explanation. Probably a stupid one, but some sort of explanation. "I'm sorry." He mumbles. "I didn't catch that." You mock him and put your hand up to your ear.

"I said I'm sorry." He says louder. "For what? Giving us an ultimatum? Kicking us out? Being an ass? Stressing me out? Being a jerk after everything Steve and Bucky do for you and have done for the team?"

"For all of it." He says. "Then why did you say it?" You ask. You were not amused at all by his behavior and you certainly weren't forgiving him. Not after all that, and not without an explanation.

"I was angry and I was tired from the mission." He says. Showing absolutely no emotion. "I don't buy it." You say. He looks at you shocked and Steve and Bucky look tired.

They're tired of the arguing, of the situation, from the mission, they've been fighting their whole lives and this was just another fight and they were exhausted. They didn't want to join in on the argument unless they had to.

To them, Tony said he was sorry which meant you could all stay and they didn't have to go on missions, but you knew there was a deeper meaning behind his outburst and were determined to get to it.

"Fine, you want me to pour out my heart and soul? I'm sad. Because I know you three are gonna leave with all your little super soldier Elsa babies." 

"Tony we weren't going to leave until you told us to." Bucky says. Finally speaking up because he felt like he had to. He wasn't being blamed for something none of you were going to do.

"You're all like family to be and you're going to have your own family and the only time I really see any of you is on missions and now I don't have that." Tony continues. Now you felt bad. For giving him a hard time. But then you remembered he started it.

"Tony, we're still here. We're not going anywhere." Steve says. "But I want you to. I need you to."
