The real lunatic
“Steve,” Tony said after Steve knocked down the lamp for the 47th time. “calm down”. he knew Steve must be worried, they all were, but he had been pacing up and down for hours and it was really getting on his nerves.
“NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! HE TOOK BUCKY, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM, AND-“
“Steve, we will find him”
“BUT-“
“But nothing. We’re trying our best here, we will find him, and your pacing, and shouting if we’ve found him every 10 seconds, is NOT helping. The best thing you can do right now is go, and make a plan for how we’re supposed to fight a magical god with less than half of the team while we search for him.” And it was true at least last time fighting him they’d had the full team. Now, Thor and Carol were off-world, Nat was god knows where, Banner hasn’t been seen since the whole Thanos incident, Wanda and Vision said something about “alone time” and a “getaway”, Clint was with his not so secret secret family and so was Scott, Strange was somewhere doing whatever it is wizards do, and Rhodey was capable but Tony just couldn’t bring himself to drag him into a fight. so that just left Tony, Steve, Peter( because as much as Tony didn’t want to bring him he knew he would come anyway) and Sam. Sam was working something with the military and, he would come back as soon as possible if he heard Bucky was in trouble, but he also might kill someone accidentally, so he wasn’t really an option. Yeah, the odds were not looking good. He didn’t have time to dwell on that tho because that very second a loud beeping ensued causing Steve to come barreling in.
“I have found the location of Mr.Barnes” FRIDAY informed “he appears to be in some kind of hotel” what? Why-
“Who’s with him?”
“An individual known as Zemo” wait-
“ ZEMOS GOING TO BRAINWASH AND CONTROL BUCKY AGAIN WE GOTTA GO!” Steve screeched with urgency
“ But we don’t even have a plan-“
“TO HELL WITH PLANS, LETS BUST DOWN THAT HOTEL AND KICK THAT LUNATICS ASS.”
“Well, I tried,” Tony said sighing and walking in the general direction Steve had gone running, in a way that made him question who was really the lunatic here.
