PROLOGUE
Steve was looking back to his childhood while he had some free time and could see the Children's hospital from the Avengers tower. He started to remember how it felt to be a kid stuck in the hospital and how lonely it was to be there. He hoped that over the years that being in a hospital as a kid wasn't as lonely anymore. That is when he got the brilliant idea to go see the children at the hospital but he would definitely need to go as Captain America. He didn't know the first step of visiting the children or when he would be able to visit. Tony walked into the room and saw that Steve was in deep thought about something. It was hard for Tony not to interrupt Steve as he was walking to the kitchen. As Tony started walking again, Steve broke his concentration and saw Tony just standing there staring at him.
Tony asked, "Steve what were you thinking about? You were so deep in thought that you didn't hear me come in at all."
Steve replied, "I was thinking about childhood in the hospital and it got me thinking about if it has changed at all. Then I started thinking about how I would enjoy visiting some children at the hospital. Then I realized I don't know the first step of visiting the children."
"Wow, with all that thinking you're going to damage that old brain of yours."
Tony had that same devious smile he had on his face every time he made an old man joke to Steve. As much as Steve tried not to show it, he actually kind of enjoyed the jabs at his "age"; it showed that everything was normal.
"You know all this joke-making is just a cover up for your own insecurities. As much as you try to hide it, Tony, I know you have some sort of heart in there...even if it's probably made of metal like the rest of you."
Steve gave Tony a crooked smile. He had learned the way of Tony's little game. Tony smiled back.
"Okay...so tell me why it is so important that you go to this hospital?" Tony had an unreadable face. Steve knew that he cared, even if the majority of the time he covered it up with cheap jokes. Steve walked over to a nearby chair and sunk down as low as he could go.
"I just...I need to, Tony. I know what those kids are going through. And I know that I needed someone at that age." Tony walked over to Steve who was completely consumed by the chair that he was sitting in. He could see that this was important to him.
"Okay. I think you should go. Who better to visit these unexpecting children than the almighty Captain America!" Tony threw his hands in the air making a grand gesture towards Steve. Steve gave a weak laugh in return.
"I will go on one condition." Steve had a glimmer in his eyes and a mischievous smile spread across his face. Tony knew exactly where this was going.
"I have a lot of work to do…" Tony trailed off walking into the next room.
"I'm only going if the almighty Iron Man comes with me!"
Steve ran after Tony. This was going to be exciting.
