…Fine.  I’ve been itching to wring his smug little emerald neck anyhow.  This just gives me further reason to.

…Tony, I think I may have anger issues.  Just not quite Hulk level anger issues.

At least I’m motivated.

I guess when it comes time, if you’re looking for gift ideas, I could use several more heavy punching bags.

I’ll have ‘em installed first thing tomorrow.

You don’t have anger issues, Steve, you’re just justified in your emotions.

You gotta lean to let some things roll off your shoulders though.. You can’t save the world by yourself.

starsandshields:

I don’t want to.  I don’t think you’d understand.

I…

ugh.

Fine.  You open your mouth to anyone and you’re next on my list yourself.  Understood, both ways.

He’s someone I considered a friend.  She’s the woman I love.  

I really don’t think I need to say much more.  But indiscretions occurred.

And it’s insulting on both levels, quite frankly.  Me and her…we’re…fine.  All things considered.  I know in a lot of ways I have been pushing her away just like I’ve pushed all of you away from me.  But him…I read his file.  I read his fucking file.  I know he idolized me.  We spent a few cool days with one another, hiking, training, that sorta thing.  The hell I did to deserve that is beyond me.  It’s a violation of both my friendship with him and a slap in the face alike.  He’s dead to me.  And frankly when I think about it…I…

You know what.  I’m not going to get into that.  I’m going to save that for him.  So, you’re on.  You dragged that out of me.

-is obviously angered, it’s all over his face, his posture has changed to a defensive one-

What’s your big secret, then.

|scowls as Steve speaks, bringing his forefinger and thumb to the bridge of his nose in iritation.|

Fuck. That.. Yeah. Sorry about that man. But..

He’s brainwashed. I’m not totally sure how, but I went over the events of …that day with’em, and he doesn’t remember any of it the way it went down.  I know it’s my word against his and Loki’s, and I know none of you guys usually take my side on anything.. but..

I’ve been reliving that day over and over again in my head since it happened. I know what happened.  He has no idea and he’s all.. skewed.

There’s something he can’t say, too. He just gets pissed and shuts off when I get close, even though he’s all crazy-evil or whatever now.. He’s never really done that before. There’s something seriously wrong here and I think.. I know we’re looking at the wrong guy here.

Clint isnt the enemy. He’s just mindfucked. We need to get Loki.

I am Iron Man: starsandshields: iron-liver: starsandshields: Yeah…Yeah.Barton made...

starsandshields:

Then you may want to go make peace with him before I get to him.  I no longer have any reason to trust nor respect him.

Vague and deadly isn’t a good look for you, Gramps. 

Try telling me whats up…

You show me yours I’ll show you mine if you promise keep it need to know.

starsandshields:

iron-liver:

starsandshields:

Yeah…

Yeah.

Barton made a really, really stupid mistake.  Like, a you level mistake.  And he’ll soon wish he hadn’t.  When the day comes, I can’t promise I won’t cross the line.  But I’ll do my best to handle myself like a “gentleman” would…even if he doesn’t deserve that.

whoa whoa, Holdon there big guy.

What do you know that I don’t?

As far as I know, he died, now he’s back and he’s slightly more of a prick than before.

It’s personal.

Personal? 

Fuck that, Steve. Clint is.. he’s my responsibilty.

What the fuck is a me level mistake?

starsandshields:

Yeah…

Yeah.

No, no…

That aspect is sorted out.  That’s alright.  We’re good.  Far as I know.

…. Fair enough. I’m not the sorta guy who likes hearing relationship dishing anyway.

Did you hear about Barton or..?

-narrows his eyes-

What about him?

Well if I knew, I’d tell you.

As far as I know, Maria went to go talk to him and I havent heard hide nor hair from her since, but I know she’s been back..

starsandshields:

No, no…

I didn’t hang around the Navy that much, actually.

…not that there’s anything wrong with the Navy.

But no.  Not those frustrations.  More along the lines of needing to punch the smug off of someone’s face.  Strangely, not yours for once.  But wait.  You’re troubled too?  What’s up?

Did Barton slip your mind or did you just not caught up by your SHIELD-infused ladyfriend?

Actually…

That’s kind of the problem.

I’d rather not talk about it.

No way. Captain fucking America is having lady troubles?

So they say..

…

been busy, Captain?

A bit.  A funny thing happened on my way home.  Something funnier once I got back.  …neither of them were actually all that funny.  All things considered, it’s good to be home.

Glad to have you back.

Sorry it’s during such strained times…
