Temptation

"Hello my name is Steve. I'm addicted to crack cocaine," The blond paused as he gathered his thoughts, "I kept getting flashbacks about the war. Drugs made it better so my partner left me."

"How are you feeling today, Steve?" Sam questioned in a soft voice.
Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I've been better. I just miss how everything used to be."

Sam nodded in undrstanding, "Thank you Steve. Would anyone else like to share?"
Thor raised his hand looking like he was going to throw up. Sam smiled and nodded in the man's direction, "Thor."

"My name is Thor, I've been using and getting addicted to steroids. I'm here so I'll stop hurting those I care about," Thor spoke up gazing around the room and not meeting anyone's eyes.

"We're glad your here Thor," Sam gently smiled at te male. "How are you feeling today?"
The blond stared at the floor for a few seconds before quiety replying, "I feel sick."

Sam nodded, "Rehab often does that. Don't be afraid to lay down if you need to. Your heath is always important." Thor just nodded in response.

"Peter would you like to go next?" Sam kindly questioned at the younger male.

"Um, my name is Peter. I'm anerxic and today has been fine. Feeling a little dizzy, but that's normal," The doe-eyed male spoke.

"I'm glad your doing fine," Sam acknowledge the male, "Would anyone else like to share today?"

Tony raised his hand and Sam nodded at him to speak. "My name is Tony Stark, addicted to heroin and your local alcoholic. Today, I am wondering why the red witch isn't with us."

"Oh shove it Stark!" Natasha growled at the man.

"Now Natasha, everyone in this room has the right to know what happened with Wanda" Sam calmed the redhead down. Clearing his thoart, Sam spoke again, "Wanda was having sexual relations with an employee. As you all know, any form of romantic or sexual relationships are banned in this house."

Tony hummed, "Surprised it took you this long to find out. Well, other then that question my day has been fine," The man smirked.

"Would anyone else like to share?" Sam sighed, looking at the group in front of him. When no one answered he stood, "Okay clean up for the day. Today is all about relaxing. Dinner will be ready at six tonight."

As soon as Sam left the room, Steve stood and walked over to Tony with a sour expression on his face. "That was really unnecessary Tony. In the future please keep your comments to yourself."

Before Tony could reply, Steve walked away shaking his head. It seemed like something was troubling the blond.

Natasha sighed and rubbed her neck, "Someone who refuses to grow and change shouldn't be here," She spoke not looking at anyone.

Tony left the room in angry steps, what was going on? Peter wondered, staring after the man but not following him.
