It wasn't raining that morning. Nor that after noon, but when evening came it began to poor. Tony was already in a bad mood that day. Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawk Eye went on a mission without him. They were supposed to meet him for drinks an hour ago. Instead, none of them answered their phones or even bothered to tell him they couldn't come. Tony couldn't call Happy to pick him up, it was his daughters birthday. Pepper was out of the question too. They had broken up last week. Pepper had said something about him being in love with someone else and that she was in love with someone else. He suspected Captain America, the two spent a lot of time together. He frowned. Captain America seemed to capture the attention of the people whom he cared about. First his father and now Pepper. He rolled his eyes. Staring out of the bar window he gulped the rest of his beer down. Leaving the money on the table he walked out into the rain. His shirt was instantly soaking wet. Walking briskly down the street he made his way home. He could call a cab or heck, he could call the Iron Man suit. None of that sounded very appealing at the moment. In fact the rain seemed to his mood perfectly. Only the occasional other person was on the street. By the time he was getting closer to the tower the streets were filled with people. Umbrellas were everywhere. Unfortunately for him, people seemed to sense his bad mood and moved away from him.
"Hey! Hey Tony!" He heard a voice call. He frowned. Turning around he saw Captain America running through the crowd towards him, outfit, shield, and all. A smile lit up his face. His outfit was soaked, even more so than Tony's. Tony turned back and kept walking. The man had abandoned him for drinks. No doubt the others were already inside the tower, cleaning up. "Tony come on, wait." He could hear Captain America getting closer to him. He could also hear the people around him, whispering about Captain America.
"You abandoned me Cap." He kept walking. To his surprise Captains calls had stopped. The rain had also stopped. Looking up, the silver inside of Captain's shield and his gloved hand were there, stopping the rain.
"You weren't at the bar when I got there. Clint and Nat had blood covering their outfits so they had to go change. I went straight to the bar though. Sorry I didn't have time to change. Or call, no phone." He had taken his mask off so Tony could see his face. People had formed a small circle around them. Several were taking pictures. Tony crossed his arms and turned to face away from Steve. From the corner of Tony's eye he saw Captain smile gently. Captain leaned in under the shield with Tony. "You really should call me Steve outside of work."
