One-shots avengers captured/tortured

Steve leaving-Alternative ending

"Make sure you put the stones back where we found them"         

"Don't do anything stupid till I get back" Bucky smiled fondly 

"How can I you're taking all the stupid with you"

They embraced in a hug, A hug they both knew would be there last as young and young. The last hug before the inevitable parting-Well Steve thought so- 

"Bye buck" a quick pat on the back and Steve was pulling away STEVE WAS PULLING AWAY. He'd be all alone again. Bucky couldn't loose him, least let him leave without knowing how he felt. So as Steve pulled away Bucky pulled him back and kissed him.

 Steve surprised pushed away "Bucky what the hell!" but Bucky had grabbed Steve's arm hissing "I'm sorry Steve but I can't let you do this HEY EVERYONE!!" immediately alerting everyone's attention Steve desperately tried to pry Bucky's arm off but failed  Bucky had always been stronger "Bucky please" Steve begged as the crowd started to gather but to no avail. When everyone came running Steve shook his head pleading with his eyes but Bucky did not relent if he couldn't persuade his pal maybe the collect guilt or one of them would. "What is it Barnes?" it was a funny sight to see Steve pulling at his arm like a spoiled kid while Bucky stood proud as a parent. Finally he shouted "Steve's leaving to live in the past" there were gasps,

 "Steve is this true?" Sam asked.

Steve had stopped struggling now his head hung as the silence around him before tentatively he  nodded "yeah, I I want to be with Peggy and and.." Steve wrenched the arm finally escaping  Bucky's grip taking several steps back "there's NOTHING you can do to make me change my mind!" Everyone had looks of defeat

 "oh Capsicle you know how I love a challenge" they all turned to the voice and it was Tony! Dead Tony but still Tony

 "Tony??" "In the flesh Cap," he even wore his signature sunglasses and that oh so painful smirk "I'll cut to the chase cap you can't leave you've got your life here now."
The remaining avengers nodded along "But but I I love her!" Steve cried out of desperation.

"Cap Peggy moved on she found a husband and had beautiful kids you said you were happy for her!"

"I..I" Steve was faltering. Tony walked closer "Cap-Steve I know your bi" that grew murmurs as Steve looked away ashamed "how?"  "I'm Tony Stark!" Was the simple answer. "Steve...you once said to Nat you wanted someone with similar life experiences well" he inclined his head to the anxious Bucky    "Nat? Is she ok?"

"She's fine all fine a little miffed at the non-existent funeral you jerks did for her" he retorted playfully the alive had the sense to bow their heads "Nah she's ok really, didn't want nothing fancy, anyway she's happier,  lighter like you wouldn't believe...still sharpening her knives and sparring me every other hour turns out she wasn't lying about the pencil killings she's even scarier sparring with one!"

Steve smiled "that's the Nat I know..Tony if I do this I could see her sooner I'd be.."

"uh uh let me stop you there Steve 1) she'd bring you back to life murder you bring you back and murder you again 2) you'd be stuck with me for all eternity and we both know we don't want that, not yet anyway 3) are you prepared to leave Bucky behind alone in a new century he can't understand? Remember how you felt? I mean SERIOUSLY what happened to "lines end stuff?" Steve ducked his head "its end of the line, and I don't mind being stuck with Nat and you earlier..well technically later then expected but I-"

"STEVEN GRANT ROGERS YOU WILL STAY HERE AND LIKE, LOVE, DATE AND MARRY JAMES BUCHANAN BARNES EVEN IF I HAVE TO FORCE YOU BOTH MYSELF!"

Both blushed "Tooony" Steve whined "Bucky doesn't like me like that I mean he's straight and even if I-"

"I'm gay" was the sudden reply. Steve turned around shocked "and I like you" he rushed "please sta-oof"
Bucky relaxed as his lips met the perfect rhythm with Steve's his metal arm around his waist his arm cupping the back of his head.

Tony stepped back his work was done. He turned to leave but noticed a frozen glossy-eyed Peter he walked over to him "Hey underoos" "Tony" he went to hug him. but went right through. tears sprang to his eyes "Mr Stark I'm so sorry if I'd just...

  "kid no I'm sorry you have nothing to be sorry for, this was always my choice nothing you could have done would have changed that ok?
Peter nodded a little head down "Please don't leave me again..."
  "Oh kid I'll always be with you, right here" he pointed to the kid's heart "please remember that" Peter nodded tears rolled down his cheeks "M..Mr Stark, please I I can't lose you too! I'm not ready I-" PETER
The boy in question stopped "look at me" Tony guided their eyes locked.

"Ki-Peter you're more than ready, you've fought Captain America, White wolf and falcon and come off unscathed. You've faced the biggest threats of the year and been in time for tea-Hell you snapped, lost 5 years of your life come back with mountains of homework and finished it all before Monday! You Are Ready"

Peter sniffled eyes shiny "I I just wanted to be like you.." Tony smiled eyes also shiny (but NOT from tears...yeah definitely not completely coincidental)

"You, Peter Parker, are so much better than me! In every way. Pete, I mean that! never let anyone anyone tell you differently whether I'm here or not Peter I will always be watching over you!..I.I love you son.."
Peter's eyes brightened, "I love you too dad, and..and I always will" "I'll make you proud" he whispered Tony smiled "you do every day"

Tony got off his knees stepping away "Me too underoos and be careful out there!" he chuckled "dont think I won't ground you just because I'm up there" Peter nodded a huge watery smile on his face "small grey area I remember" his smile was returned "that's my boy" then peters  head tilted into confusion "but Tony, I thought you didn't believe in Heaven or God?" 

Tony laughed "Really Pete it took me dying for you to call me Tony! And yes I was wrong Gods not too bad when you get to know him" he gave a pointed look to Steve who wore a gentile smirk while the others held looks of disbelief Peter swore he heard Sam whisper to Clint "I need to get me a bible"

"Well this has been fun but I must be off" Tony announced everyone jumped out of their stupor "HOLD ON!" Sam yelled in disbelief "THATS IT! YOU COME HERE MAKE STUCKY CANNON TALK TO SPIDER-BOY AND THATS IT NO OVERWHELMING HEAVEN KNOWLDEGE OR HELLO'S TO THE REST OF US I mean Tony....we mourned you" 

Said genius turned "Hello and um thanks?....now goodbye" and just like that he was gone only peter heard his heartbeat suddenly stop and saw the fading figure of his Dad give one last wink and genuine smile his way.
