Furious Green from both was enough to scare even Tony, and neither set of eyes were even directed at him.
Each man was powerful enough when calm. When angry they were a force to be reckoned with. But when both were enraged to the point of their eye's glowing green it was best to beg forgiveness and resign one's self to whatever fate was to come.
Of course Steve did not understand this, or the cause of either man's anger.
The men had succeeded in getting Tony into his bed. They had removed his shirt and began to tend to the burns on his arms and chest as well as the bruises on his back when Steve came bursting into the room, Clint following quickly behind.
"What the hell is this?" Steve shouted gesturing to the scene before him.
"I'm sorry Bruce I couldn't keep him out any longer and when he got to the lab and saw Thor there alone, I couldn't talk him down. There was still ice on the wall and floor," Clint hurried to Bruce's side babbling rapidly. "He kinda freaked, punched a wall, and then ran out before I could do anything."
"Before you could do anything!" Steve all but screamed at the archer. "I can't believe that you and Bruce are condoning this! I knew Tony was pretty fucked up and had a voracious sexual appetite but this is ridiculous!" he turned to Tony "Even you can't be this stupid! He's a monster and you hold him and shift in front of him as if he were a beautiful woman to be protected! You disgust me! When I thought you could sink no lower, you find yet another way to surprise me! How could you do this?!"
When his rant finished Tony had shrunk back, Clint quickly moving beside him out of either man's way, as both men who had been tending to him turned to glare at Steve, eyes flashing green.
"You will not speak to him that way," One said in a quiet voice sharper than the dagger now present in his hand.
"I'd be very careful what you say next Cap," Clint said, now seated beside Tony and continuing where Bruce had left off wrapping the man's arm.
"You're defending this Bruce?" Steve answered standing his ground. "You're defending this disgusting mockery of everything this team was built to do.
"I recommend you leave Rogers, before I do something you'll regret," Bruce replied, every word clipped short, skin slowly gaining a green tint as he grew slightly with each step to move himself between the other three men and the super soldier.
"How could you condone this? Why would you accept, defend even, this?" Steve asked, slowly backing away.
"Because we love him," came the responses of all three men between the captain and Tony. And, with that, Steve fled.
