Important!: Just a note on number 3, Anthony Mackie and Jeremy Renner were in the Hurt Locker together so that is what I am referencing in this one – it's a great movie and you should all check it out

Sam Wilson

He's very close to his family and a little bit of a mama's boy

It's kind of hard not to be considering he's the older brother to four sisters, one of them still in college although she is a senior. But at first it went unnoticed because the Avengers that didn't live in the tower like T'Challa and Peter had their own lives and members of the team respected that. No one tried to get nosy and find out about peoples lives, some wanted to be a part of everything like Scott who brought his daughter by one day and some preferred to keep things private like Peter. Although that might be because the last time Tony was in the same room as Peter's aunt he flirted with her. He swears to Pepper it was only so he could talk to Peter without his aunt listening in but he still had to sleep on the couch for a week after that.

Anyway, Sam was actually really close with his family who all lived in DC, even when he moved into the tower he went home every other weekend to visit his mom or go to one of his niece or nephews birthdays but except for brief mentions of where he would be that weekend no one knew how tight knit Sam's family really was. Maybe a better way to look at it is that none of them had a concept of personal space and having your own life because their were several incidents where the Wilson family would literally just seem to drop in.

The first time it had been Sam's oldest nephew, 17-year-old Vincent son to Sam's second older sister Ruby. Their were a bunch of them swimming in Stark/Avenger Tower indoor pool when FRIDAY randomly chimed in saying their was a Mr. Vincent looking for Sam Wilson. Rhodey who had been in the lap lane next to Sam got a mouthful of water as Sam quickly scrambled out of the pool. The others exchanged a look before they all followed curious to see what was going on. What they came upon was Sam, his jeans and shirt soaked from hastily being put on glaring angrily at a teenager who looked equally pissed off.

"Do you know how much trouble your in for doing this? Actually no, scratch that, do you know how much trouble I will be in?! Forget about your mother, Serena is going to think this whole thing was my idea and gut me. Aren't you also taking care of Louise right now? You are probably making your poor grandmother cry because she thinks you abandoned the family."

Vincent just rolled his eyes at Sam and crossed his arms.

"Uncle Sam you can't fool me, grandma is worse than mom and Aunt Serena combine if anyone is going to gut you it's her."

Sam pinched his brow in frustration and Bruce took that as the cue to intervene.

"Um." He started making both men turn and face the small group. "Sorry to interrupt but what is Vincent doing here?" Bruce asked. Sam turned back and glared at his nephew.

"Apparently mister hot shot over here got into a big fight with his mother and instead of running away to one of his aunts houses which is literally a metro ride away he has decided to take a train all the way to chill with Uncle Sam and hide out here." Sam was using his disappointed tone; it was hard when he just seemed 100% done with this whole situation.

"You said drop by anytime." Vincent remarks. Sam throws up his hands.

"I will not be dragged into World War III Wilson family addition."

Vincent sighs and his shoulders slump in defeat, with that Sam seems to slump too. He sighs looks back at his teammates and shrugged before swinging an arm around Vincent's shoulders.

"Come on lets go call your mom." Sam said making Vincent cringe and Sam pats him on the back fully understanding. They go to the elevator and the people disperse after that realizing the show was over.

Only for it to continue the next day when Sam's sister and Vincent's mother arrived.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH? I SWEAR TO GOD YOU ARE SO RECKLESS! AND HE GETS THIS ALL FROM YOU!" Ruby Wilson goes from berating Vincent to turning on Sam and no one has seen fear like that on Sam's face. Natasha still snickers at the thought.

After that it was like the Wilson family kept popping out of the woodwork. Peter was staying at the tower that weekend to get some training and during breakfast on Saturday he asked Sam if he knew a girl named Emma Wilson.

"How do you know my baby sister?"

Peter seemed to brighten at the fact that he had guessed right. "We go to school together, well she's a senior so we don't really know each other that well but we talked a few times and she actually mentions you. Falcon you and cool big brother Sam you."

Sam gets a goofy smile on his face at the concept of being cool and elbows Bucky in the side when he starts to tease him. Of course it became a situation when Sam asked Peter to watch out for Emma if he could. Peter came running into the tower one day looking frantic.

"Your sister found out I was watching her for you, she is pissed at you and now she suspects I'm Spiderman." Peter looked more panicked as he said in sort of a scared awed tone. "The women in your family are kind of amazingly scary."

Sam just sagely nodded. "It happens after being raised by a woman like Louise Wilson."

Of course after that Emma Wilson paid the tower a visit and proceeded to scream at Sam for being an overprotective jackass, and unfortunately her and Darcy became friends so now Emma was over at the tower all the time. Once Vincent went to the tower the other kids wanted to visit so there was a swinging door of sisters, husbands and kids coming in and out all the time. The biggest moment though was when everyone finally met Louise Wilson. She was only at the tower for 10 minutes and she managed to end a stupid fight between the twins, convince Tony to go get more sleep and parked herself in the kitchen saying she was going to teach these people how to cook properly.

Clint and Vision both watched from the kitchen doorway in fascination as Louise Wilson effortlessly put Thor and T'Challa to work in the kitchen. Sam just stood there, arms crossed and smiled, his family really was crazy but they were always awesome.

He loves chocolate to an insane degree

After every mission when people were briefly checking themselves over and regrouping. Darcy, who somehow got a hold of the coms and now is always present to debrief them before they go on their real de-brief always alerts them that Sam once again randomly flew somewhere. It happens every single time, he comes back a few minutes after everyone else and someone still asks him where he went. He just shrugs and says he was double-checking the entire area. The truth finally came out when they actually all had to go to Wanakanda and help T'Challa's people. Sam did his usual "scouting the area" and hurried back to T'Challa's palace/mansion and the debrief was for once actually brief letting everyone shower and sleep before regrouping for dinner later.

They were all plowing into food later when T'Challa came in a little late but with this small grin on his face that confused a few people. He approached Sam and clapped the man on the shoulder, Sam looked up confused.

"I just had to see to someone, a business owner, our best candy maker who come to me and said the Falcon bought some of his chocolate today and he wanted to see if you wanted anymore." T'Chall actually looked as if he was going to start laughing and a few others gave Sam a gob smacked expression as the man seemed to find his plate of food very fascinating.

"Every time you run out after a mission it's to get chocolate?" Tony asked incredulously. Sam looked up and it seems he had preparing for them to find out because his argument sprung out.

"We go all over the world, when else am I going to have an opportunity to buy foreign chocolate? Name brands are not the same and shipping that stuff costs to much money to be worth it."

"So your like a chocoholic?" Scott said his grin showing he was enjoying this immensely. Sam glared.

"You don't understand okay chocolate is like the food of the gods it is the holy grail of foods and if you all haven't realized that yet well it's not my fault."

"It is not that ridiculous considering you all told us that right after defeating an evil alien race from destroying New York City you went to eat Shwarma." Wanda piped up. Sam pointed at Wanda to emphasize his point.

"Exactly! You went to eat foreign food right after a major fight. Wasn't Loki also still around? Where did you put him while you ate?"

Bruce of all people snorts and tries to cover it up as a cough. Steve finally sighs.

"We left him guarded by a massive amount of SHIELD agents in a highly secure van but… just in case Thor may have put his hammer on Loki's arm so he wouldn't escape."

That finally made everyone at the table laugh who had been holding it back as that image played through their minds.

"How much chocolate do you have?" Natasha asked certainly curious. Before he could answer Bucky interrupted.

"Wait is the chocolate why you have three mini fridges in your room?"

People blinked as Sam once again stared down at his plate.

"You have three mini fridges full of chocolate." Scott said in awe. Sam shrugs

"It'll melt otherwise."

"But still three mini fridges full?"

"You realize I probably have chocolate from every European country by now? No way am I wasting that stuff, like I said food of the gods!"

Each Avenger eventually got curious and went snooping and after catching the 5th person trying to break into his room that week Sam set up a rule that you can ask to see it and he will share one piece of chocolate with you but that was it. Everyone understood after that, Pepper started importing chocolate from Poland, every time they were in Scotland Darcy called over the coms for Sam to get her some chocolate. It even made Pietro listen and obey all orders on missions as long as he got to get some chocolate from Mexico.

Sam knew all along, like he said it was the food of the gods.

He and Barton were on an undercover assignment way back and will forever hold over Clint's head how much of an asshole he was during it

When Clint and Sam had their formal introduction it was at the party before all that Age of Ultron crap, Steve was showing Sam around the room introducing him to people and they got to the bar where Clint and Natasha were standing with Clint's back to them.

"You already know Nat but this is her partner Clint Barton." Steve said. Clint turned around and the second Clint and Sam locked eyes they both froze. Nat and Steve looked at them confused, Clint's smirk was slowly falling off his face and Sam seemed like he was figuring something out and it was making him madder by the second. Before any of them had a chance to say anything Sam curled his fist and literally punched Clint right in the face. Steve made a noise of surprise and Natasha raised an eyebrow, she knew Clint could block that punch, he had let Sam hit him. Clint covered his face for a second and Sam was still looking mad as he flexed his fist.

Clint finally uncovered his face, the bruise already forming close to his nose on his cheek. He stares at Sam and finally lifts an eyebrow just like Natasha had done.

"You good now?" Clint asked as the smirk started forming its way back on his face. Sam went from pissed to exasperated in no time and huffed indignantly at Clint.

"You are such an asshole Staff Sergeant James." Sam said the name with so much sarcasm in his voice it was kind of incredible. It only made Clint's smirk grow.

"Hey I'm not the only one who had something to hide Sergeant Sanbourne."

"I was undercover because I started the falcon program."

"I was undercover because it's my job."

"Is it also your job to be an asshole while dismantling bombs?"

"No that was just fun."

"Bombs! In the fucking desert! You shot Eldrige in the leg!"

"I saved him and he got full mobility back."

"Okay what the hell is going on?" Steve asks finally after watching the two go back and forth like it was a tennis match.

"Was this that mission you had when you had to take care of bombs for the military?" Natasha asks looking as if she was entertained. Clint nodded before turning to Steve.

"They needed help so Fury did them a favor and sent in me to help take care of some bombs, I might have been a little bit of an asshole and careless but I had everything covered." Sam scoffs after Barton says that but his anger is going away so Clint goes on.

"I went by William James and I had two others on my team, a kid named Eldridge who I had to shoot in the leg to save from capture and make it look like an accident and the other." Clint turns and dramatically points at Sam "Was Sargent JT Sanbourne. Who might I add likes to hit peoples heads against car wheels when he's frustrated at them."

"You totally deserved it, I was there because I had entered the Falcon program and was waiting for the final confirmations so I took a fake identity and joined a team to practice my badass spy skills." Sam finally lightening up.

"He does have pretty good skills, I felt something was off about him but never would have gone with the whole fake identity thing." Both men chuckled and the tension left the two as they began to catch up with each other. Steve whose head was spinning a little from all this information went looking for the Asgardian mead because he seriously needed a drink.

"You know I'm never letting you forget what an asshole you were." Sam said. Clint just smirked.

But Sam was serious; it got brought up a lot.

During a fight,

"Man these guys are getting on my last fucking nerve."

"This is nothing you should have to deal with Barton, he took off his gear and started chilling out while tinkering with the bomb.

"I had that handled."

"Whatever Barton."

During workouts in the gym,
"Geez Tasha that's gonna leave a wicked bruise."

"Worse than the one I gave you for slamming your head into a wheel for being an asshole."

"That was child's play."

"Sure it was Barton."

Even in debriefs

"I shut the dude up because he was being an asshole."

"I agree with Barton, do you know how many times I wanted to shut him up during those months?"

"Wilson come on."

It was all made in good jest, at the end of the day the two actually became pretty good friends. They even both visited Eldridge, of course Clint was a little pissed the first thing Eldridge did was punch him in the face before grabbing him a beer. Clint complained and Sam said this was a warning not to be an asshole on undercover assignments anymore. Clint socked him in the shoulder.

He and Bucky may act like assholes to each other but they are the only ones allowed to do it

It started during the whole Civil War thing that no one really likes to talk about anymore, they fought, they were on the run, Tony and Steve finally acted like adults and talked it out then they all joined together and destroyed General Ross making it so he could never bring up "the accords" again. All were happy, except for Bucky and Sam, it wasn't hostile it was more if like two brothers were fighting or if your best friend was trying to mess with you, although both would deny those statements saying they weren't friends and nowhere near brothers. Steve literally just nods and rolls his eyes knowing the two have weirdly bonded.

It's just little things, Bucky asks Sam to hand him something, and Bucky moves it farther away. Sam asks Bucky to stay on that channel and Bucky flips through the channels as fast as he can. Sam takes great joy in throwing things at Bucky to wake him up most mornings and don't even get them started on the nicknames, Winter is Coming and Birdbrain are some fond yet unoriginal ones between the two. The one thing they find out is that they are the only ones allowed to do it. Pietro had slept late and pissed off Clint by missing training, usually Pietro jokingly stole the man's food but considering he didn't want to piss Clint off anymore he looked for a new target during lunch. Sam was just putting down his sandwich when he felt a breeze and his sandwich was off his plate, gone in a blue blur. Sam groaned and got up to make a new sandwich only to watch as Bucky randomly and casually just get up from his chair, stand their and then quickly hold out his arm only to have Pietro who wasn't looking run straight into it and fall down. Pietro groaned on the floor for a second, knowing the boy was okay Bucky got the sandwich from his grip and put it back on Sam's plate without saying anything. Sam blinked and looked at Bucky but Bucky kept eating as if nothing had happened.

It happened another time when Bucky had run out really early in the morning to go to this hole in the wall coffee place, it had a nice owner who made coffee just the way he liked it. He was walking back to the tower when suddenly he saw the flash out of the corner of his eye and knew there were reporters close by. He hurried up his walk as he saw them start to close in. He almost growled when he saw the garage door was closed and the security guard wasn't on duty, he would have to walk all the way around the building and be harassed by reporters the whole way. Just as he was contemplating running for it he heard a sharp whistle. He turned to see Sam Wilson casually standing in front of the now open garage. Bucky ducked and ran into the secluded safety of it. Hearing Sam yell at the reporters that if they took one step into official property Tony Stark would slap a lawsuit on them so fast their heads would spin. The garage door closed, Bucky and Sam silently rode the elevator up and went about their days.

They swore they didn't like each other, and they would stand by that. But just because they decided to act like assholes doesn't mean anyone else is allowed too. It's the principle of the thing.

Next up is Rhodey so stay tuned….
