Soulmate mark on your chest
Chapter .1.
Tony has been keeping secrets from everyone since he was 7. First was the initials of his soulmates JBB, SVS, JCB, DJW, CAD, LO and a single initial of N. Next he meet James Barnes one night while he was out in the park. Tony knew there was something wrong with James and James did his best to explain. About how he thought his name was James. Tony had started calling him Jay.
After he meet Jay for the first time Tony was involved in an accident in his Fathers lab and he lost all his hearing. The Stark's kept it a secret from everyone. As Howard was ashamed of Ton's disablity. Tony had to make himself an hearing aid. That he could turn on and off. But he did have to learn how to lip read and to use sign language.
When he next saw Jay again he was nine and he trusted him with his secret hearing lose and James found out about Howard's abuse. That was when James started to give him more affection.
The years rolled on and James came around nearly once every couple of years. Tony kept it secret after he began putting pieces together about Jay being held against his will. And that he only came to Tony because he was one of his soulmates.
When his parents were killed James came to his and apologised. Tony was angry at first but Jay told him that HYDRA had ordered the hit and he couldn't stop himself.
So Tony remained friends with him in secret. He never told Rhodey then Happy and Pepper his hearing lose he was able to fake his way through all conversations with the help of JARVIS.
After Afghanistan and the poisoning he had to be extra careful to keep his secret from SHIELD. He meet Stephan Strange, Supreme Sorcerer of Earth after the poisoning. And they became close. And Tony found out Stephan was the last soulmate. Stephan didn't think less of him for having no hearing. And he made sure to tell Tony that over and over till he got it.
And then the Avengers. He didn't want the Avengers too know because he was afraid they would think less of him. He invited them to the Tower but none had taken the offer up so far. Bruce did for a month before going of to India.
Now Tony was in his lab and he had his hearing aid off as he was all alone and JARVIS could tell him if someone was approaching. He was making more suits after he destroyed the others after the Mandarin.
"Sir SHIELD is downloading all their files to the web", JARVIS says through Tony's ear aid
"Why the hell would they do that? JARVIS copy all files to my personal server. And start wiping all files from the net", Tony orders, "I will help you"
"They also have put out information about Agents that are on missions, safe houses, families, retired Agents and all sir", JARVIS says
"I am Activating the Iron Legions. Start scrubbing JARVIS", Tony snaps
"Yes sir", JARVIS replies
Tony starts typing away and sends out the Iron Legions with JACOSTA flying them. The information was tricky about what they put online. Tony saw information saying Barton had a family which he quickly wiped before storing it in his drive. Tony spends hours scrubbing all the information of the net and finding out what the hell SHIELD was up too. That's where he found out Steve and Natasha were doing all this and he was pissed off.
"Sir we have a facial recognition on James Barnes", JARVIS says
"Where is he?" Tony asks turning his attention away from the computer
"He was seen in Washington with Captain Rogers. But his profile picture is coming up coming here", JARVIS replies
"Let him in when he arrives J. And tell me. I know he is coming here he always does", Tony says
"Of course sir", JARVIS replies
Tony works tiredly to make SHIELD Agents safer and he was keeping an eye of Rogers medical report. He had some damage but should be right in a few weeks. As for the SHIELD Agents those he saved he told them they had jobs at Stark Industies waiting for them.
"Sir he is here", JARVIS says in his hearing aid
"Thanks J. Take me too him", Tony says going to the elevator
JARVIS takes him to the community floor and Tony sees James on the couch with his head in his hands.
"Jay?" Tony asks softly
James looks up immediately at Tony. And Tony sees recognition in his eyes and relief.
'Tony', James signs
"Yes. At least you remember me and sign language", Tony says with a small smile
'My mind is in overload. HYDRA has done a number on me', James signs
"Do you remember Steve?" Tony asks
'A little bit. He and I fought recently. And I know I hurt him. But my memories are meddled up. But those of you my soulmate. I am SO tired', James signs
"Come on love lets go to bed. I am tired too", Tony murmurs holding out his hand
'After you Doll', James signs
James takes Tony's hand and Tony leads James to the penthouse which only Tony and he could enter. Tony leads him to his bedroom.
"Do you want a shower first?" Tony asks
'If you don't mind', James signs
"Of course I don't. I will have some clothes ready for you", Tony says
James goes into the bathroom hesitantly after Tony promises to stay in the room. He was done quickly and comes out in some sweats. Tony had also changed to some sweats.
'Can I lie with you doll?' James signs
"Of course", Tony mumbles tiredly
'You will have to tell me the last few years of your life tomorrow', James signs
"I will", Tony promises getting into the bed
James hesitantly gets in the bed and gentle pulls Tony towards him and Tony cuddles into his chest. James knows Tony always cuddles him when he arrives back. And Tony loved cuddles because he didn't get enough affection growing up. James kisses Tony's forehead and buries his head in Tony's hair. Trying to get rid of the imagines that filled his mind…
