1. Tony

Steve blearily registers a scuffle outside the room he's in. He sways on the little cot as he wonders if it's really worth it to go out there. He hears one voice now, angry and also a little bit amused.

Steve can't bring himself to jump when the door practically flies open, mechanics apparently hacked so that it opens at Tony's bidding.

Oh, right, he knows Tony,

"...and you can't honestly tell me that Fury knows about this, actually, no, don't tell me-"

Tony's voice cuts off suddenly as he gets closer, normally something that would be a rare occurrence and something akin to a miracle.

Steve considers closing his eyes instead.

"-Steve, what happened?"

Tony asks him, probably not for the first time.

Steve waves a hand dismissively. At least, he thinks he does. It's probably more like a twitch.

"Doctors...blood samples...loud voices?"

Steve asks, cracking an eye open at him. Oh, he had closed them. Okay, then.

He's pretty sure that sentence makes some sort of coherent sense. Probably.

Tony, pretty much the expert on drunk and or sleep deprived speech, twists his face into something weird.

"Yeah, the SHIELD doctors got a little excited about their blood samples. Seriously, dude, it's a good thing you're a super soldier, because I'm pretty sure I saw Dracula and his family drooling over the sheer volume of the blood they had in those bags. I'm surprised you have any blood left in your body…"

Tony stops talking suddenly and eyes him suspiciously, as if he isn't actually sure if that last statement was true after all.

"And I was promised juice and a cookie."

Steve tells him. Then he tips over.

Before he knows it, he feels Tony awkwardly holding him up, still apparently clad in the Iron Man suit he had used to break into the medical facility. Steve is apparently so used to Tony in his armor that he doesn't notice the difference anymore. He isn't actually sure if this is a good thing or not. His eyes try to open, but fail in an almost impressive way.

"Uh, okay, Cap. Just...take a nap. Or something."

The shoulder of the Iron Man suit is surprisingly comfortable.

Tony keeps babbling as he half-walks, half-carries him out the exit. Steve keeps his eyes closed and enjoys the ride.

"Dude, I ever tell you about that one Red Cross nurse I met at a party? Seriously, the whole time I was terrified I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a cell phone taped to my hand. Seriously, dude, though, when I woke up, I'm almost positive I found a little blood pressure cuff thingy, like she probably stole my blood while I was sleeping and is now using it to make tiny, genius clones…."

Steve's pretty sure Howard would appreciate the irony of Captain America drooling into the shoulder of a Stark invention.
