The sun peeked through the windows like a giant middle finger to the exhausted group. Steve could barely open his eyes, or breath for that matter. Bucky had fallen asleep on top of him while he was patting his back and Steve had probably fallen asleep mid pat since his hand was still at the center of the ex-weapon's back. He just sighed and rolled Bucky gently to the bed and turned away from the light.
Rhodey wasn't in a much different position. Tony had his torso in a tight grip, not that he minded. It's how Tony always seemed to sleep, and even after the colonel got him so many stuffed toys he still chose to crush him. Probably because of Rhodey's motherly heartbeat.
Just as it seemed this would be a late day for everyone Rhodey's phone started ringing. The Colonel groaned as vibrated across his nightstand. Finally, after it seemed to get louder, he reached out and grabbed it.
"Hello?" he answered groggily.
"Rise and shine," Fury smiled on the other end of the phone, "We're sending a car to your house. I need to meet with you and your group."
James looked at the phone's clock, "When will it get here?"
"I think you know when." Before Rhodes could even ask what he meant there was a ringing at his bell, "See you soon," he smiled again and hung up.
The man merely groaned and sat up, going to wake everyone.
Nick Fury walked around the table where half the attendants were virtually asleep, "I've managed to get a safehouse for you. And as I can't have any of you telling where it is, on accident or not, you'll be transported their. To keep you off the grid your going to need cash, which I shouldn't have to tell you," he looked to Rhodes, "But it should still be verbalized."
The meeting was short and to the point and soon after they had been released they were allowed to go and pack. Fury had exchanged their cards with unmarked cards, so they could retrieve money from their accounts indirectly.
"How long do you think we'll be in the safe house?" Bucky packed his bags and watched as Steve got things together.
"Who knows, a week or two?" the blond shrugged, taking things to the car.
Bucky watched Rhodes pack away for Tony and scoffed slightly, "How come he doesn't pack his own clothes?"
"Because he's asleep and I want this done as quickly as possible. You'll come to learn Tony isn't always the best at doing things right the first time," he took a large bag and pat Buck's shoulder as he walked past.
The metal armed man just tsked and decided to help. As he gathered some bags he was drawn to the genius' look. Gripping tightly to his security blanket and sucking aggressively to the pacifier Rhodey had attached to his shirt in the car there. He didn't look to be sleeping peacefully at all.
Something made Bucky react in a way he had never even thought to. When Tony began to hyperventilate he walked over and gently brushed his hair back, calming the man some, "I know those dreams."
After packing away as much as they could they were in the car. Bucky watched the scenary fly by from the window. Soon they were leaving the city and traveling further out of New York.
"You guys hungry?" Mama Rhodes asked, reaching into Tony's bag, "I figured you guys might need a little something since none of us got a chance to eat anything."
"What you got there?" Steve covered a yawn and looked as the man offered them cereal bars and crackers, as well as a juice. He smiled and took the offering, "This will hold us over."
"I'm use to being hungry," Bucky continued to watch the scenes fly by.
"Right," Rhodes smirked and reached for Bucky's belly, tickling it, "Thats why I heard your stomach growling."
The metal armed man laughed then blushed instantly. He had no idea he was ticklish, but with that he took the food without question, "Thank you."
Tony watched the action, not sure how he felt about his Mama doing that to someone else, but he resigned to the fact that this guy needed some hands on affection. Still he was his needy self, "Mama, I want snacks too.."
"I know you do, here," he handed him a bottle of juice and the same snacks they were all eating.
Bucky noticed that he had recived his drink in a cuppie. Steve must have told him about the arm troubles. It was fine, Bucky didn't mind, admittedly he liked it a little.
By the time they arrived to the airport they were restless, especially people who used toilets.
"Your luggage has been placed," the agent nodded to them as the plane took off, leaving three of four of the group confused, "Here is your plane," he took them to a private plane, the first being a decoy.
When they were finally loaded up the metal armed man raced the blond to the bathroom while mom took baby to the couch for a change.
"Don't do it here," Tony whined.
"Steve has already done this a hundred times, asides, I wanted to try out these new cloth ones I found," he smiled and showed him one cover that was a rather plain off white, but had four red snaps, two on each side, "I was told by two by diapered sources that cloth is suppose to be more comfortable."
"The mutants I assume," he relaxed into the leather seats and opened his legs to make things just a little easier on the man changing him.
Rhodes quickly tended to his normal task, "Hopefully this will help with those constant rashes you get as well," he smiled and tickled his boy's exposed belly, "Alright, lets see if this place has some decent grub."
Tony smiled and opened his mouth to allow Rhodes to put his pacifier in. Mama gifted him with a kiss to the forehead before walking off to the kitchen.
Bucky hurried from the restroom and saw Tony watching TV and hurried over to join,"What are you watching?"
"Uhm," he checked the box again, "Homeward Bound," he talked around the paci.
"What's it about?"
"Three pets trying to make their way home after they get lost."
He smiled a little. Kinda like him.
