A/N: Sorry for not updating this chapter on my usual update day, I had to revise it since I didn't like how it originally turned out. But I think I like it now, so here you have the next part. Enjoy!

It's been an eventful week for Tony, or as eventful as he wanted it to be. He spent the week enjoying his time talking to his super soldier, enjoying how the lab was full of laughter and the sweet sound of his voice. It was a nice touch to drown out all the busy work he was doing; which included building two robots for Dum-E who go by the name of Butterfingers and You. Butterfingers was the first robot he started working on, and the reason why he named it Butterfingers was because, well, as the name implies, the bot is very clumsy. He remembered giving it Dum-E's favorite blender to hold, and the appliance met its untimely end when the bot dropped it, shattered glass spilling all over the lab floor. In return, sparked him to create his next robot, You. The way he came up with that name was, well, he simply said "hey, you, clean this up," and the name seemed to have just stuck since he couldn't think of anything creative to call the robot. He also had to build a new blender for Dum-E, since he was so emotionally scarred, or rather, Tony felt he was emotionally scarred.

It was a week full of robot sitting and video chatting, all of which he wasn't really complaining about. Ok, maybe the robot sitting he would complain about considering having to deal with Dum-E and his siblings was taking away his time with the good, sexy Captain.

He was at his happiest when they were talking, and throughout the week he's noticed Steve has gotten him to get out of his lab just a little bit more often and to sleep a little bit early. However, when there were things he really needed to work on; such as polishing up the final touches on his Iron Man suit, Steve was willing to let him stay awake a few more hours for him to finish it. The blonde was also more than happy to stay up in the late night hours for Tony as well, since their time zones were different. Steve would sometimes call when it was morning for Tony and night time for him, and vice versa. Of course, Tony knew the blonde didn't need sleep considering he was a super soldier, although it didn't stop him from also telling the man to sleep as well.

Currently, Tony was working on the final touches for his Iron Man suit while also talking to Steve.

"Finally putting on the finishing touches for the suit. God, it has been a hectic week for me, but what about you? Get any closer to figuring out the strange Hydra bullshit."

"I wish. Nat is getting pretty frustrated with all the dead leads we've been given."

"Are you upset, too?"

"Not as much as her, but yes I am upset as well. Not much you can do when it seems like you're chasing after a ghost story, and every time you think you've gotten a lead you end up short." Steve sighed, and Tony honestly felt for the guy. It's been pretty hectic for Steve as well, with the suspicious activities of Hydra and the agents they've been apprehending disappearing, mixed in with illegal alien tech, he'd be pretty pissed too.

"Sorry about that, really. I know how you feel, I'd be pretty pissed too."

"It's alright, really. Not much you can do except keep looking. Although there is one positive that has come out of this whole mess." This caused Tony to raise his eyebrow, confusion written all over his face.

"What could possibly be a good thing about this whole mess." Just then a bag was placed next to him that came from one of his favorite burger places. His eyes widened and he followed the arm that belonged to none other than Steve Rogers. The blonde had this happy aura around him that seemed to radiate to Tony, that smile on Steve's face that sent Tony's stomach into a fit of somersaults, and those beautiful ocean blue eyes that sparkled with energy that he loved to stare into so much.
