Tony laid in the hospital bed, playing on his Starkphone. The doctors had removed the shrapnel from his chest, and he was a new man. Pepper had left for a meeting not too long ago. Tony knew that the team was coming to visit him and he was excited. He waited patiently, he hadn't seen them in a couple months. A little while later Clint, Bruce, Thor and Natasha followed by Fury entered his room.

:Heyyy haven't seen you guys in a while." Tony said with a smile, shaking everyone's hands. They all returned small smiles. "Where's Spangles?" The inventor asked with a laugh, looking around and not seeing him.

"He got released this morning, he should be on his way." Natasha said. She explained to all of them what had happened and to what extent Steve was still injured and recovering. She reminded them not to mention the Winter Soldier because Steve was still touchy around the subject and slightly agitated.

Sam and Steve entered the room a few minutes later. Everyone greeted them. Natasha was last, seeing as though checking over Steve was top priority. He had a bandage where the IV was, bruises covering his neck and face, and a thick wrap around his midsection. He walked with a limp, favoring his left leg a little bit. His right arm in a sling with a wrap around his shot shoulder.

"Hey Spangles." Tony said as he shook Steve's uninjured hand.

"Mr. Stark" Steve came back. His voice was rough and weak. He had just had a breathing tube removed this morning. "How are you feeling?" The soldier shifted and winced. Natasha pulled up a chair and he sat down.

"Fine, there is not more hole in my heart so that's good." Tony laughed, the only one finding it funny.

"That's good." Steve nodded.

"What about you?"

"Fine." was Steve's quick and only answer.

Tony nodded awkwardly. The conversations slowly picked up again, though still awkward at times. After a while the nurse brought in trays of food for everyone. She left while they ate and came back to collect the trays a half hour later.

"How are you feeling Mr. Stark?" She asked him checking over his vital signs.

'Dandy." he clapped, "Ready to get out of here."

Natasha sighed and shook her head with a laugh.

"I'll see what I can do." The nurse said as she headed towards the door. Her eyes picked up on the red, white and blue uniform. "Oh! Captain Rogers, I didn't see you there. I didn't know you were released..."

Hoping this new story will get some reviews quickly because I've got big plans for this one!...hehehe Suggestions always welcome!
