(Found time to update this one! So here you go!)
"H-Howard! I-I don't think this is the best way to test my stamina!" I say, backing against the wall. Howard places his hands on either side of my head.
"Don't worry Steve, This is completely safe. I swear this is a test." He whispers seductively in my ear. I shiver, and try to squirm away. His chapped lips met mine, and I know there is no escape.
Steve opened his eyes. It was just a nightmare. He reminded himself. He sat up, and sighed. Tony's side of the bed was starting to lose his musk. Steve wanted to cry at the thought of him never coming home. No. He'll be fine. Just keep looking. Besides, today you have to go meet Mario. Steve climbed out of bed, and got dressed.
Mario sipped his coffee, waiting. He fidgeted, knowing that if the Boss found out about his part in Tony's rescue, he'd be dead. Captain Steve Rogers walked over, and Mario acted as if he wasn't a fan, strictly for the sake of the job.
"Captain." He said coolly.
"You must be Mario."
"I am. I have this for you." He slid a letter across the desk. Steve picked it up. He read the cover, and put it away. "Now, first things first, don't tell any other Avenger what I'm about to say. Second, you need to go to the ware house on fifth at nine p.m., on the 17th. Follow the instructions in the letter."
Mario got up, and smiled to himself as he walked away. The plan he and Tony had made was in motion. The deal between them was, if Mario helped tony escape, Tony would help pay for his brother's wedding.
Steve sighed, and ordered a coffee. He hadn't fallen asleep until ten that morning, and even then he only had two hours sleep. The nightmares were getting worse, and more frequent. He walked back to Stark Tower, once again alone except for the faithful AI, JARVIS. Steve opened the letter.
Steve,
I know my hand writing is bad, but I need you to follow every instruction. First, Mario is on our side. He has a gay twin who happens to be engaged to Bruce. (Go figure.)Second, JARVIS placed a tracker in my ring. Yes, I had one made, it's Vibranuim. Track it. Wait until the appointed date. Come to the warehouse three buildings down from the one they instructed at six. The Boss goes to his mom's house to eat at six every night, so the rest (minus Mario) go eat too.
DO NOT BRING BACK UP! It will alert them if they get back early, and I need you safe. Mario might act defensive, but he knows the plan. Just be careful Steve. I love you.
Tony.
Steve swallowed. He was a little ticked at Bruce for not telling him, or anyone for that matter, that he had a boyfriend. Plus, even if Tony did, Steve didn't trust Mario. He might do whatever he has too to keep his cover. This was not going to be easy.
