You Could Make a Case for That

The source for this one sounds truly awful. Bucky is a crazed, abusive Alpha trying to restake his claim on the weak, helpless Omega Steve, who needs to be rescued by big strong perfect Alpha Tony. As if Steve suddenly isn't his own man because he's an Omega. And as if Tony wasn't one of the most abusive people Steve has ever met. How would Omega Steve really react?

Note: Set after Avengers 1.

Steve knew he was really lucky. The serum and Vita Rays could have done anything to him. So it wasn't all that surprising that the treatment changed him from a beta. The surprise (to the Army brass) was that Steve became a strong, healthy OMEGA.

Considering what happened, Steve was REALLY lucky. If he was an alpha, he could easily see himself being ordered to attend the heat of every fertile omega in the area. But not even Col. Phillips was going to order Steve to get pregnant.

While Steve's internal equipment was in good working order, he'd never actually had a heat. The theory was that his body was aware that Steve was not in a good place to carry a pregnancy to term. Or it could be that he was an Omega whose heat wouldn't be triggered until he was in contact with a compatible Alpha.

The days after the Chitauri invasion were EXHAUSTING. Even for a super soldier. The Howling Commandos had some experience with the aftermath of battle, but never on this scale. He spent part of each day helping out at the various reconstruction sites.

He was spending more and more time outside. It seemed easier than dealing with Tony Stark.

Steve had always been the first person to stand up if an Omega was being harassed by an Alpha. But somehow he didn't seem able to defend himself the same way. He kept dealing with Stark's crowding too close and constant innuendo by moving away and ignoring the taunts.

But now Stark was showing up at the work sites. Steve never dressed in anything except a shirt, jeans, gloves, and workboots, so no one knew who he was. Until Stark started on his "Cap" taunting.

Steve nearly gagged at Stark's greasy scent as Stark came almost close enough to touch. Stark said, "Really Cap, I almost can't believe you're an omega. But up close, you smell like apple pie and I'm ready to dig in."

Steve frowned and said, "Back off, Stark."

Stark leaned even closer and whispered, "Make me. I KNOW you can't resist me."

Suddenly a scent that Steve could only describe as fresh air accompanied the breeze of Stark being yanked away from Steve.

Steve turned to see an attractive black Alpha standing there with his impressive arms crossed. The newcomer said, "Maybe the man doesn't think he should need to--because Alphas should know better than to get all up in ANYBODY'S business."

Stark blinked. Then he tried to puff himself up. His scent got stronger, which caused both Steve and the other Alpha to step back to avoid the stench. Stark said, "Do you know even KNOW who you're talking to?"

The Alpha said, "Tony Stark. Former weapons manufacturer for the armed services, and now just for himself."

Stark glared and asked, "And you are?"

The Alpha gave a gap-toothed smile and said, "Sam Wilson. Former pararescue for the armed services. Now a counselor for veterans."

Steve put out his hand to Sam and said, "Steve Rogers. Veteran."

He gasped at the thrill that ran through his whole body as he and Sam shook hands. Steve almost leaned in to get more of that fresh scent, but held himself back.

Sam smiled at Steve and said, "Thanks for saving our collective bacon."

Stark pushed forward again and said, "I'M the one who flew the nuke into the wormhole."

Sam nodded and said, "Yes you did. And it's great that this time you didn't even need a medal and a ceremony ahead of time to do it."

Steve looked at Sam in question. Sam shrugged and said, "I got some buddies in the different branches. There are a LOT of stories about Tony Stark. Iron Ham rather than Iron Man, you know what I mean?"

Steve shook his head and said, "No, I don't. Maybe we could get some coffee and you could tell me?"

He blushed at his forwardness. Peggy and Bucky would be proud at Steve taking the initiative.

Neither man noticed when Stark flew off in a huff.

Steve ended up taking a job with Shield and moving to D.C. Not only because Sam Wilson was there. When Shield fell, Sam met Steve and Natasha at a safe house Steve and Sam had set up months before. The mission to take down Hydra succeeded and the Winter Soldier was liberated.

Sam had been a little concerned about meeting Bucky Barnes, but the Alpha POW was thrilled that Steve had met someone who saw Steve for who he was, not what he looked like. Bucky and Natasha soon became an item.

Neither Sam nor Steve were interested in being around Stark, so the mission to clear the Hydra bases didn't include Iron Man. Steve was able to persuade Wanda and Pietro that Strucker had lied to them. The twins turned on Strucker and helped destroy the last Hydra base.

Clint invited Thor, Natasha, Bruce, Bucky, Pietro, Wanda, Sam, and Steve to a secret location, which turned out to be the Barton farm.

Steve asked Clint to help him drop off the grid. When everything was in place, Steve asked Bucky to accept the shield as the new Captain America as Sam and Steve went on reserve status. Sam and Steve married at their new place near Clint and Laura's.

After Steve and Sam settled in, Steve experienced his first heat. Nine months later, their first set of twins were born.

Without the destruction caused by Ultron, the destruction of Sokovia and the Sokovia Accords never happened. Everyone lived happily ever after, and never needed to be near Tony's greasy smell or smarmy Alpha attitude ever again.
