That Robotic Soul (Wingfic) Book 2

Chapter 27 Steve

Tony's Pov:

I stared at the broken line for a while before starting to follow it only for it to stop...What? I walked back and frowned...What if I? I tied the broken pieces back together making it light up and shine brightly putting off a warmth...I felt tears welling up because that felt like old Steve. Ok...Ok I can do this. I started following it and it took me a long time at least it felt like a long time and I was suddenly in a Hydra base...They were all talking but I couldn't hear them it was so muffled.

"T-Tony?" I stiffened and turned my eyes widening...Steve's light blue eyes lit up when he saw me...He's chained up and there's an IV in his arm...Oh god! Oh, fuck! It wasn't him! It wasn't...

"Fuck...Steve, I'm so sorry...I didn't know or I would have looked for you...I'm so fucking sorry." I sobbed because I feel like shit and Steve looks like he feels like shit and he's smiling at me.

"It's not your fault." He whispered and then his eyes widened he jerked on the chains. "Are you dead?!" He asked looking panicked.

"No...No I'm fine," I said and Steve sighed in relief.

"I thought they sent the fake me to kill you," Steve said.

"I mean..." I trailed off and he frowned. "Don't worry about it...Fuck! You've missed a lot..." I said and looked at the IV...I can empower my soulmates can I empower nonsoulmates.

"Your wings." I froze and glanced at them. Right he has never seen them. "I like the blue it fits you." He said and fuck why did I ever think that Steve was the real one.

"Do you think you can get out of here?" I asked.

"Not in my condition," Steve said and I bit my lip.

"What if I help?" I asked.

"By yourself? No, it's too dangerous." Steve said and I laughed.

"I can help like this Steve...Do you have any idea where you are at?" I asked.

"No." He said.

"Then this is the only way...Hopefully, I can do this. Well If I can keep one of my soulmates alive for 5 hours I can probably give you a few boosts." I said.

"You got a new soulmate?" I winced...Ah...right.

"I'm...sorry...I thought." I frowned.

"I'm not mad...I didn't really think of you like that anyway." Steve said.

"Oh, that's good then...Also, Bucky is alive." I said and Steve's eyes widened.

"He is!?" Steve asked.

"Yeah, like I said you've missed a lot...Ok, let's see here." I said and reached out freezing...It's fine...This is the real Steve...It's fine...

"Tony?" I swallowed and looked at Steve's worried look. "What's wrong?" Steve asked.

"Nothing," I said.

"That look on your face says otherwise," Steve said.

"It's fine...I just need to..." Touch him...I stared at my hand that was almost touching him feeling a cold numbness coming over me as my breath caught...No...Breath...

"Tony?" Steve asked but it sounded far away as my vision narrowed...Panic attack inside my head is new. I flinched when Steve went to touch me. "Did...Did he do something?" Steve asked.

"No." I lied. "It's fine," I said.

"He did...You weren't this jumpy when I was with you...You had gotten over that." Steve said.
