incoming call from steve rogers


TONY: you shouldn't be calling me, steve.

STEVE: i deserve to know what's going on with james. how's he doing?

TONY: i'm trying to help stop the bleeding now. it's... it's not looking it's best.

STEVE: is nat still there?

TONY: yeah. you wanna talk to her?

STEVE: no, i'm sure she's stressed. i don't need to add to it. how's she doing though?

TONY: she hasn't stopped pacing since i've seen her. she just starting crying. everything feels off– nat normally doesn't act like this, you know? it's all so weird, like it's some sort of nightmare. 

STEVE: god, it must be really bad if nat's crying. [PAUSE.] can i talk to bucky?

TONY: no. he's not talking.

STEVE: c'mon, tony. lemme talk to him.

TONY: no, steve, you don't get it. he can't. he can barely breathe. he closed his eyes a couple minutes ago, and that's when nat started crying. he's got at least two wounds in his chest and stomach, three in his left arm. his arm... [WHISPERING.] there's no saving that, steve.

STEVE: [SIGHS.] i knew we shouldn't of done this, tony. 

TONY: but we're here. we have to finish this out or this is all for nothing. we need the money and to get barnes to a hospital. [DISTANT FEMALE SPEAKING,  QUIET SPEAKING OFF PHONE.] yeah, he's right here, hold on. [INTO PHONE.] hey, nat wants to talk to you. you good with that?
