A/N: This is based off movies, not the comics. Any coincidental comic facts are by accident. This is not intended to be considered canon in any way, shape, or form. It was written because I had way to much on my mind. Just enjoy it for being a story. It says move/comic crossover because Iron Man is not listed as a movie (God only knows why) NOT BECAUSE THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE COMIC. Also, I am not saying if this is slash or not. You decide. And if you don't like this story because of that, then STOP READING. The only arm I am twisting is my own, to get all my updates done in a timely manner.


Tony Stark was a devious man.

Captain America knew this, appreciated it in battle, but he'd never expected to find himself on the receiving end of those plans.

First, it had been Tony's rather ingenious rescue from the 'counslor' which, if it did have a basic premise of 'piss Bruce off and run when the Hulk showed up' got an extra nod for creativity and execution.

Second, had been getting Fury to agree to this.

This was Tony's penthouse condo overlooking Central Park.

This was a team building exercise away from SHIELD.

This was Clint and Natasha throwing popcorn at each other and anyone who tried to stop them.

This was a really good movie.

For some reason, they were watching what Clint called 'awesome classics' and Tony called 'boring Westerns' and Bruce said was both, from a certain point of view.

The outcry to that gave the odd phrase a whole new meaning that even made Natasha smirk.

Steve found himself glancing at Thor, who was clearly as lost as he was.

That is, until Tony put in the last movie. "This one Fury can't know about," he told Clint and Natasha, "because I don't think the shrinks want Steve to see these."

It had the same main actor they'd been watching (John Wayne), was in black and white, which Steve appreciated for the familiarity, and five minutes into the film, Clint said, "Tony! This is a war movie."

Tony, who had sat down next to Steve on the couch nodded. "It is. In Harm's Way is a classic movie and I think it's one Steve could appreciate."

He did. He identified with the movie.

He could understand why some people wouldn't want him to see it.

But what he remembered was Tony. Tony had sat next to him the entire movie, and instead of doing- something- with the side table, he'd watched the movie. And sometimes, Steve thought, himself.

And he remembered afterwards, when Clint had handed out beers and declared, "What happens at the penthouse, stays at the penthouse," before clinking glasses together.

When asked later, Captain America talked about Big Jake and True Grit, and kept quiet about the 'war movie'.

Instead, he waited for the next team night.

Because Tony Stark was a devious man and Steve couldn't wait to see what happened next.
