Summary: Thor discovers that the man that attacked Tony is not actually Steve and now a mystery begins. Meanwhile Phil keeps vigil over Tony and remembers little moments between them.

Mysteries and Vigils

Thor came upon the room holding the good Captain prisoner but he stayed outside. Luckily for him the magic used to detect what the good director of SHIELD wanted was simply enough for him to use and if it got anymore complicated for him then he would have to send for someone. Taking a calming breath Thor held onto Mjolnir and felt power run through him as he scanned the man that was supposed to be his brother in arms. At first he almost didn't see it but then finally he saw what was really wrong. The man that attacked the Man of Iron was not the good Captain, it was a clone of some kind but he had magical signatures around him. Quickly Thor made his way to the Director to solve the mystery of what really happened to the Captain and who was behind this.

Phil looked at Tony so fragile in the bed hooked up to machines with his head bandaged and he lost it. He carefully stumbled into the bed, curling around the genius, and proceeded to lose it. Tony's body felt cold to the touch making everything worse for Phil because Tony wasn't supposed to be cold, he was supposed to be warm and covered in oil not clean and filled with bandages. Closing his eyes Phil remembered their first actual date before Tony had pulled his stalking incident.

"Tony I don't know why you insisted on planning our first date when I was the one that asked you out and despite still healing I am perfectly capable of planning one date," Phil said exasperated at the genius who had dragged him to a private theater lighted by candles and a romantic comedy.

"Well sorry for wanting you to actually fully heal before undertaking to many things at once," Tony stated sarcastically but Phil heard the slight hurt and worry in his voice.

"Tony I'm sorry okay. You didn't deserve that I just get frustrated sometimes with not being able to do anything but paperwork. Despite what people think I am not just some drone that only does paperwork and only cares about paperwork. I like making a difference and contributing to saving the world but it's not your fault that you worry and I get that thinking I was dead affected you I'm just asking you to back off just a little bit for me. I don't mean back off completely because you would not be the man you are if you did but at least let me plan a date for you next time," Coulson finished cupping the genius' face in his hands.

"I know and I'm sorry I get that you like work especially working in the field I just worry okay and sometimes I take control and go overboard but for you I will try to tone it down but sometimes it's hard because I think so many different things at one time and my brain doesn't stop unless drastic measures are taken but I swear I'll try to stop," Tony rambled and Coulson smiled because he loved Tony as he was.

"I'm not asking you to change just for you to at least let me plan a date," Coulson said kissing him lightly on the lips.

Tony nodded his head and after making out for a brief moment the couple watched a movie marathon of Lord of the Rings trilogy where Tony argued over every simple thing and even went as far as comparing Clint to Legolas. Coulson found himself not even wanting to listen to the story but instead listen to his boyfriend ramble on because it was so far one of the most endearing things he had seen.

Phil jumped when a hand fell on his shoulder and he turned his head to see Natasha standing by the side of the bed with a sad smile on her face. When Phil had heard about the support Natasha had for him dating Tony he almost didn't believe it because Natasha had previously made it known how much she hated Tony but she then argued that Tony was a changed man. Phil turned his head to bury it in Tony's neck and Natasha pulled up a chair to keep watch over them with a hand still on his shoulder.

Meanwhile outside Bruce sat outside of the room with his eyes close trying to calm himself down but it was hard because he kept imagining if it was Clint and him that had come out today and what would have happened and it made everything worse for him. He felt someone sit down next to him and wrap their arms around him and Bruce knew it was Clint and both knew that even if the Hulk came out that he wouldn't hurt the archer because the archer was their "mate" as the Other Guy had said and they weren't letting him go. Finally calming himself Bruce opened his eyes and turned kissing Clint with everything he had.

"We'll figure this out," Clint promised.

Bruce sighed as Clint laid his head on his shoulder and ran a hand through the sandy blonde hair. Together they would figure out what was going on with Steve and be there for Coulson and Tony to deal with the aftermath. Together their family would survive no matter what anybody had planned they would beat the odds they always did.
