Summery: Tony saves The fugitives and learns to love Bucky more then anyone would have thought.

--------------------------

The war was over.

Tony was falling apart, but forgave Bucky any way. He was brain washed by Hydra. It wasn't his fault .... but Steve, he never wanted to see him again, especially after his pitiful excuse, and his pathetic flip phone saying he was always going to be there for him if he needed.

But his thoughts turned to Bucky. He was new to this world, he didn't understand anything - and it wasn't that long ago that Steve was in the same boat. How could he help Bucky in his state. So he made a decision, he would help Bucky himself.

He knew they were hiding with T'Challa in Wakanda. He was a genius, and he wasn't an idiot like they all thought he was, they always doubted his ability. And anyway, he was friends with the prince, he would call him and get new on the fugitives.

- - - -

He picked up the phone, the phone that he had given him .. .and rung the number he left for him. He put the phone to his are and listened for his voice.

"tony..."

"your highness ..."

"how can I help you stark?"

"how are they? how's Bucky?"

"they're fine. Bucky's still adjusting to everything, and I think its a bit over whelming for him. But apart from that ... I thought about what you said, and I think its a good idea ... "

"I sense a 'but'"

"but... I don't think we will be able to get Bucky away without Steve knowing ... or throwing a tantrum. Unless you let them all back. "

"I I cant ..."

"I now how you feel, I thought he killed my father as well remember. I now exactually what you feel, but ..."

"alright. they can all come back, and you and your sister are welcome anytime as well. I can't believe I'm doing this.."

"you're a good man Mr Stark. I will send them over by the end of the week. "

"thank you T'challa , for looking after them. thank you." he whispered before hanging up and sighing, holding his head in his hands.

He needed a drink.

- - -- --

He had Rhodes by his side, with starks tech keeping him walking, when the rogues arrived. He held his head high, and watched the people he hated most in the world walk in, then Bucky walked in behind them with his head down, nervously fidgeting.

He smiled at his, and walked away, leaving Rhodney to take them to their rooms.

When they had all gone to their rooms, there was only Steve and Bucky left. Rhodes took Steve to his room, and beconned him inside.

Steve turned around and looked at Bucky.

"where's his room?"

"doesn't matter Captain .."

"of course it matters ... how do I know ..."

"how do you now tony wont attack him in the middle of the night? because it was Bucky that tony wanted to save - not you or the others - Bucky - because he knew he was vunerable, and shouldn't be on the run with you. He will be quite safe in the tower, and If you have a problem with it, I doubt tony will have a problem with kicking you out." his voice was cold, and he tuned around leading Bucky to his own room, leaving Steve behind, fuming.

Tony was waiting out side Bucky's room. He took of his sunglasses when he saw them approaching. He smiled at them and Rhodes left.

Tony held out his hand for Bucky to take, and he did gently with his non metal hand.

"tony, " he introduced himself, "although I think you already knew that ... anyway ... erm if its alright with you , I was wondering if you would want to come down to the lab and ... I could ... erm ... make you a new arm. " he glanced nervously up at Bucky who smiled down at him.

He nodded slyly and tony beamed with joy.

Tony lead him down to his lab, and when he got JARVIS to open the door, Bucky's eyes widened at all of the gadgets and machines In the lab.

Tony walked straight over to one of his many desks and started his design. Bucky just gauped at everything around him. It was completely different to the lab in Wakanda, it was messier and more mechanical - he preferred this one. It was less ....confusing. He could understand more of it.

Tony had a hologram on the arm he planed to make and continued to gather pieces of metal to make it with.

soon enough it was complete, and tony very gently removed the old hydra arm and replaced it with the new one. Once it was on and secure, Bucky admired it appreciatively.

"thank you tony." Bucky said, looking straight into the brown orbs of tony stark. Steve had already told him not to mention Howard, but ... he forgot.

"Howard couldn't make something as good as this ... "he immediately realised his mistake as he turned slightly white. Tony smiled and blushed slightly at the compliment, but when he saw Bucky's face he immediately went over to him to make sure he was okay.

"oh my god, are you alright. Oh it must be the arm, I don't now what's wrong ... oh Bruce would know..."

"erm, I'm fine tony really ... I just ... Steve told me not to mention Howard ... I'm sorry I forgot. "

"oh Bucky... don't worry about that. "

"I'm sorry tony ... for everything"

"don't be, it wasn't your fault .... I'm sorry for taking I out on you. " both held their heads down.

Tony finally broke the silence, " do you want to go back to your room?"

"not if Steve's is close by."

"why, I thought you two were besties. "

"erm ... sure -we're best friends but... I want to be alone ... " 'with you' he thought.. but didn't say anything.

"oh alright ... well do you want the other bedroom, oh ... erm ...."

"what?"

"the only other room is on my floor , and I don't think Steve will ... "

"I don't care about Steve, erm ... can I have the other room ... please."

"of course."

He took I'm to the other room and had JARVIS bring up all of his things. They stood outside the Elevator awkwardly.

"well ... erm ... goodnight Bucky." he turned to leave but was stopped by Bucky grabbing his hand pulling him closer to him.

"please stay." he whispered.

They were close. A lot closer than ether would have ever imagined. Tony looked up into Buckys icy blue eyes and felt drawn to him. Bucky looked down, loosening his grip on tony, but held his hands in his own.

They got closer and closer, until tony was reaching up and Bucky leaning down meeting in the middle.

Their lips met in a sweet and loving kiss. They stayed there like that for only half a minute but to them it felt like hours.

———

The elevator behind them dinged as it approached their floor. The two of them were so caught up in the other that they didn't notice.

As the doors slowly opened the me inside slowly lifted to head, and as soon as his ocean blue eyes saw the scene in front of him- his mouth dropped open- not believing what he was seeing.

" Bucky!"
