No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 26: MILLION DOLLAR BABY (Part 6)
Tony Stark was closest to the door whenever "James" Buchanan and Donna Strange said their goodbyes and left…
He thought about slamming it shut behind them, but the feisty brunette refrained. He closed it slowly, then he quietly turned the latch and locked the door.
Ohhhhhh… so many interesting thoughts filled his mind after that lovely little visit, but the brunette had two yummy warm hands to suddenly think about instead.
Steve approached his "Little Red Corvette" and he gently pulled him backward. He hugged Tony from behind, and the blonde said he was sorry about what happened.
There's no need to be sorry, Steve Rogers. Tony understood that letting things go was for the best. Bucky Barnes had an uncanny ability of letting things go and brushing shit off… so the "other" brunette decided to take a breath and learn something from it.
Tony was all about learning, so a sly little grin stretched over his face. He glanced down at Steve's hands for a moment, then he relaxed against him for as long as he could.
It felt good to be there, all warm, snug, and pressed up against Steve. His body felt way too comfortable, so Tony thought about going back to sleep.
There's no rest for the wicked tho, because the two of them had been receiving alerts all night and day…
Saaaa…. Ezekiel fucking Stane and Wade fucking Wilson. They were a match made in heaven, weren't they? So, Steve and Tony took a moment to just… process.
…
"Which one flipped out first, it's been like… ten minutes."
…
Tony had to ask, because gee golly another alert came in about Rae-Ann's sudden arrival at the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. Ezekiel was making moves left and right, and everyone on the Surveillant Council could see that he was in complete despair.
Wade Wilson was a friggen mess beyond repair as well, but thankfully he FINALLY reached out and spoke to Charles Xavier. Overall… the situation was beyond tragic, and everyone knew that those two were in the midst of experiencing some deep love.
I'm talking about feeling that deep deep deeep kind of love. Real shit. The goooooood shit, and they were almost there.
They both had a chance to turn it all around, but they both failed to see it and admit it to themselves and each other.
It was an interesting moment for all the members of the "Surveillant Council" because on some level there seemed to be an establishment of trust.
They all were really gunna need that trust, and fast, because Doctor Doom was slowly infiltrating Ezekiel's mind and moving his way in.
The entire "Council" had an interesting letter to process and read, and they all planned to act on it and try to get themselves ten steps ahead.
Oh, wait… getting ten steps ahead of Victor Von Doom? Yeah, good luck with that. They needed to accomplish that days ago, and definitely before the full-blown war between Doom and Deadpool inevitably took place…
…
"Stephen said he's calling it, Battleworld? Can you run all of that by me one more time?"
…
Tony needed Steve to refresh his memory, because Stephen Strange recently explained Doctor Doom's clever little plan. He planned to lure Deadpool out in the open and strike by stroking his ego, and all of it just seemed… crazy.
Instead of answering, Steve thought about taking Tony to bed. He still hugged him and held him close against his chest, then he kissed his shoulder off and on in that moment.
Their morning could have been very "easy peasy, lemon squeezy" if they simply let everything else go, but deep down… Steve Rogers could see that Ezekiel Stane and Wade Wilson needed their support more than anything…
