Peter Parker and The Avengers: Wrong Number AU

5. He What Now!?

(Hacker had been texting them both for around 2 weeks, so it's been about a month since they met)

Hacker

Hey, Mr. BatteryPack?

Tony

Hey, what's up?

Hacker

So...

How do you stitch a bullet hole wound?

Tony

Kid, what the fuck!?

Go to a hospital!

Hacker

Kinda can't!

With Tony:

"Steve!"

The two were laying next to each other in Steve's room. Tony somehow ended up tired and didn't want to be alone. The two had agreed on just relaxing, seeing as the two never get to enjoy each other's presence alone. Did the others know that they were a thing? Yes. Absolutely yes. (Wanda had walked into the kitchen around 3 am and saw Steve kiss Tony and she told everyone.) They were fine with it and the dynamic didn't really change, thankfully.

"What?"

"Look!"

Steve looked at the message and his eyes went wide.

"We have to help!"

"How!?"

"I guess you just have to tell him how to fix it..."

Tony

Okay, is the bullet still in the wound?

Hacker

Yes.

Tony

You're gonna need to pull it out.

CAREFULLY!

Hacker

Okay.

Alright, what next?

Tony sent the instructions, while Steve tried to keep him calm.

"Tony?"

He took a deep breath.

"Yeah?"

"He's gonna be fine."

"I know..."

Tony

You okay?

Hacker

Yeah.

I need to get some sleep.

I'll text you tomorrow though, alright?

Tony

Alright. Just tell me if you need anything, alright?

Don't want to lose you, Hacker.

Hacker

You won't.

I promise.

Tony sighed and fell back onto the bed.

"Tones?"

He turned his head and looked at the blonde sitting up.

"Hm?"

"You okay?"

"I guess... I'm just worried about him."

Steve studied his boyfriend's face.

"Maybe you should run a background check on him. Not tonight, but in a few days. Just to be sure..."

He shook his head.

"Sorry, Steve. I want him to trust us..."

He stayed quiet for a moment.

"Alright."

Steve kissed Tony's head and wrapped his arms around him.

"Up to you... Maybe the others should talk to him. Seeing as everything going on in our lives is weird, they could use something to perk up. You did within talking to him twice. Maybe they'll have the same reaction. We already talk about him around the others. I'm surprised the others haven't done anything..."

"Yeah... They can all talk tomorrow..."

"You tired?"

"What's it look like, Capisicle?"

Steve looked at Tony sadly.

"Did I... Did I do something wrong?"

Tony's eyes widened, realizing he snapped.

"What? No! No. You didn't! I swear! I'm just-"

He went silent for a moment.

"I care about the kid..."

"I know you do, Tony."

He ran a hand through the brunette's hair.

"Just try to get some sleep alright?"

Tony nodded his head and closed his eyes, drifting into sleep.
