We Own The Night

It was roughly 2 AM when Tony returned from hanging out with Rhodey. The two men had been catching up and having a nostalgia night featuring greasy pizza and terrible movies. Rhodey had gotten tired of Tony's distraction after the fortieth time Tony stopped mid sentence to check his phone. He had kindly but firmly sent Tony back to his lovers with a complaint of seeing how it was now. Rhodey was teasing of course but he knew his best friend was blossoming under the affection and attention from the trio. Tony no longer drank and he ate much healthier now.

Tony had even confessed to the fact that he had had palladium poisoning and had actually started a will. Rhodey had yanked Tony's shirt up to check and had been relieved to see that the lines that Tony had described were fading and nearly gone. The older man had scolded Tony for not letting him know sooner and then asked how he had fixed it.

Tony had explained that Imperial Gold had been compatible enough for the reactor as a temporary measure while he found a solution. He had also discussed what had been offered to him about being changed into a god. Leaving Rhodey was a huge part of his reluctance to do it.

Rhodey had thought that was very touching but that Tony needed to think about the big picture. He had reminded Tony that they still had a long time to go yet and that he wasn't planning on dying for at least another forty years. After all, someone has to keep Tony's ego in check since his lovers seemed to like inflating it.

Tony was currently stumbling to the bedroom after he tripped as he got off the elevator. His heart nearly stopped as a ghostly shape opened the door before he could and he would forever deny that he had screamed.

The ghostly shape also screamed, backing up. The poor woman had just been going to check on Tony as she had heard him trip when he arrived. She had been awake because JARVIS had let her know that Rhodey had booted Tony out.

Steve had come crashing down as he had attempted to get up, foot tangled in the sheets. The blond had been having a particularly good dream and had still been waking up. He had nearly smashed his face into the nightstand as he fell.

Bucky had shot off the bed, instantly ready to fight if necessary. His body relaxed once he realized what had happened. "Christ! What are you trying to do? Wake the whole building?"

"I thought she was a ghost and I don't even believe in ghosts!" Tony rubbed the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed. He couldn't believe he had screamed like that.

"Mister JARVIS told me Rhodey booted Tony out and I heard him trip when he got off the elevator. I wanted to make sure he was okay." Kayla was currently tending to Steve, making sure his head hadn't hit anything. "Sue me for caring."

"I'm fine. I promise." Steve didn't move away from her hands though. He leaned into the touches instead, a soft look on his face. They all loved when she got worried and mother-henned them.

"Thought you were staying the night, Doll." Bucky dragged Tony to the bed and pushed him to lay down. He laid on the outer part of the bed, keeping himself between their bedroom door and the others. It was just automatic to him.

"Rhodey kicked me out. Said I was being annoying." Tony looked a bit sulky. He did press close to Bucky though, enjoying the feeling of the man's warmth.

"Sir was kicked out for checking his phone multiple times and cutting himself off midsentence and also cutting Lt. Colonel Rhodes off multiple times to talk about you three." JARVIS tattled primly. He was amused by his Creator's adoration of his lovers.

"Oh, Tony." Kayla laughed quietly as she laid on his other side. She held one of Tony's hands and kissed the back of it. "You really are something else."

"I'd like to be something else." Tony blurted out, blushing heavily now. "I want to be like you three."

"Tony. Are you saying yes to becoming a god?" Kayla's voice was quiet but cautious.

"Yeah. I am." Tony rolled to look at her. He had an anxious expression. "If you still want me to."

"Of course we do!" Steve interjected as Kayla's eyes teared up. The goddess just kissed Tony hard on the lips.

"We do, Tony. We wanna keep you, Doll." Bucky added, stroking the genius' hip. He exchanged a fond look with Steve as their genius was kissed senseless by their girlfriend.

"Always will want you." Kayla let go of the kiss to speak, keeping Tony close though. She looked like Tony had given her the best gift ever and she was trembling a bit.

"Oh good." Tony relaxed. He didn't feel the anxiety anymore and knew his girlfriend had taken care of it. The genius stared at Kayla's kiss swollen lips for a bit before leaning over to kiss her again. He heard the two soldiers laughing but knew it was because they also enjoyed kissing her as much as he did.

"These two are something else." Bucky shook his head slightly, grinning at the blond. "Dunno what we would do without them."

"Probably be sad." Steve shrugged. He was tired again and his eyes drooped. The trio had barely been sleeping for two hours when Tony had gotten back.

"Sleep, Stevie." Kayla broke the kiss to address their blond. She was laying on her back now, holding an arm out to him. Steve wasn't ashamed to cuddle to her, laying his head on her chest. His arm rested over her waist and his hand rested on Tony. "Everyone back to sleep. We have a lot to do today." She was excited to start the process of moving. They were going to visit each house Tony had thought would be suitable.

Rhodey of course would be dragged along, the four of them not wanting to waste any of his visit. So of course he would come with. That was just a given.
