Stiles nodded slowly and pulled back slowly, leaning up to kiss Chris softly. “Then for now, let’s get dressed and go see Derek. I hate to see him go back to Canada but once we’re settled in France, maybe he’ll come visit. He needs family. He needs us. I just…. I’m going to worry about him.”

Chris listened and gave a sigh as he nodded, moving to sit up more so they could get dressed. The three of them were the last ones who cared for Peter and the thought of watching Derek leave again hurt, but he knew the other didn’t want to stay where there was nothing left. Chris didn’t want to stay, either, if he was honest. He’d finally been happy, having Peter and Stiles with him, and their time had been cut short and he hated that now he and Stiles had to go on without Peter being there with them. But he’d made a promise to never let Stiles be alone again, and he meant it. “Naturally, he’s welcome.

“Fighting is all I do,” he said quietly, setting his cup down and leaning in to Tony’s touch against his hair, his eyes closing in a resigned way. “They’re not going to let me quit, Tony. They fucking own me. They found me… I’m still able to fight, I’m healthy, I’m the only person who survived with the super soldier serum intact… you really think for one minute that SHIELD will let me retire and simply fade into the background? They’ll never let me go, Tony. And sometimes… sometimes I wish I was in the ice again just to keep from being a soldier now. I fought for so long, so hard… and for what?” He choked up, tears filling his eyes as he dropped his head onto the island, his whole body starting to shake.

Tony was furious at the way his husband broke down. “Like hell they own you, Steve. Just because they found you in the ice doesn’t mean they own your life!” He took a slow breath to try and calm himself. “You can fade into the background and train new Avengers, damn it. If I’m a big enough asset that they’ll let me just do the tech, they can let you step down and train. You can’t keep fighting forever. We deserve to have a family and be happy without them always looming over us.” he said, his tone angry. “I’m not letting them take you back out again. No. You need a fucking break and if I have to punch Fury is his one eyed face I will do it.”

“I’ll… consider it,” he answered quietly. “If I choose to stay.” He held his bag in his arms as he settled into the passenger’s seat, careful not to actually touch Peter as he moved. He was touch starved as it was… an alpha’s touch might send him into heat sooner or make him change his mind about wanting to stay.

Peter did what he could to keep Steve comfortable, starting to car and putting it in drive to head home. “It’s about a three hour drive. Would you like to get anything?” he asked, blue eyes looking at Steve.

Induced Heat | lostshieldandhammer

His climax hit him fast and he felt Tony’s knot lock deep inside of him, making him whimper softly as they settled with one another, the new bond sealing between them now. He shivered slightly, closing his eyes. “I love you too,” he whispered sleepily.

Tony knew they’d be knotted together for a bit, so he adjusted so they could lay on their sides. “I won’t let anyone take you from me, baby. I’ll protect you. My perfect omega, my sweet mate.” he brushed his lips against Steve’s. As much as he loved being bonded to Steve, a part of him wished that they could have talked beforehand, but since the drug the turned down alpha had given Steve had triggered an early heat, Tony didn’t know when the next one would come once the current one waned. He ran his hands through Steve’s hair, leaning to lick at the healing wound that would turn into a silver mark once it healed completely. “You’re my everything, Steve. Absolutely everything.”

Steve let Tony help him get the uniform off and the under-suit beneath it, showing the various healing injuries he’d sustained. “I’m not in a whole lot of pain, I”m mostly exhausted and hungry. My calorie intake has only been about a thousand calories for the past four days…”

Tony frowned a little, brushign his fingers over the bruises in a ghost touch before nodding. “I can make us food or I can order something so I can clean you up?” he offered, dark honey eyes looking up at blue. “We’ll get your intake back up, I promise, baby.”

“Derek wants to meet us at the estate before he leaves back for Canada. I told him we’d be there tonight. We could probably leave tomorrow or the next day. You have to do something with the apartment here… the loft’s already been closed up.”

“I suppose we should start that way, then.” Chris didn’t want to think about Peter’s loft. He and Stiles had let Derek go through first, but the young wolf had barely taken more than a few old books and a few records. He sighed a little, knowing that the loft would never be sold even if they’d taken just about everything but the big furniture. “The apartment can be sold. Furniture isn’t a big deal, the manor in France has plenty. We just need to pack up everything else.” he replied. “I can make arrangements for us to leave the day after tomorrow. That way we can pack tonight and tomorrow.”

“Couch,” Steve clarified. “I’m not getting pizza on the bed.” He kissed him again and walked downstairs with him. They got to the garage and Steve pulled out the keys to his Camero, sliding inside and waiting for Clint to do the same. “Do we need to stop for anything else while we’re getting food?” he asked, pulling out of the garage and away from SHIELD.

Clint laughed a little and nodded, getting into the car. “I don’t think we need anything right now? Unless you wanted to get something?” he asked as he buckled in and reached to lay a hand on Steve’s knee.

Steve slowly looked through the bag, pulling a few things out to inspect them before putting them back in and nodding slowly. “That’s all mine,” he said quietly. “I don’t see anything that’s missing. And a doctor won’t be able to do much, honestly. I was never allowed suppressants and the one time I had them, they made me so sick, I wanted to die. I’m a week out from my scheduled heat so there’s not much to be done about that.”

Peter nodded as he listened, watching Steve check through everything. “If you want, I can offer a way to keep the others away during your heat?” he asked. “There’s a few rooms uptairs in the manor where the unbonded omegas we take in can stay during their heats if they choose.” he explained. “The betas help keep them clean since the scent can cause the alphas to go into rut, so they would check in on you, but no alphas would try to force themselves on you.” he walked over to open the passenger door for Steve.

Steve leaned against him, sipping quietly at his own tea for a few moments before he spoke. “I guess I thought all of this would stop after a while, you know? I.. I don’t understand why I’m still having these nightmares. I talk to Sam regularly… it should be helping so… why does it feel like it’s not?”

Tony was quiet as Steve spoke, content to listen for as long as Steve needed him to. WHen Steve finished, he sighed. “I still have them from time to time.” he admitted. “Usually it’s easier to calm down when you’re next to me. Before this, my life was lonely and for a long time I hid it in bad ways. Then you came into my life. I found something to focus on that was good, that made me happy.” He explained, reaching up to run his hand through blonde hair. “Sometimes talking isn’t always going to help. You need something else to keep your mind grounded. Like a hobby or something. Mine just happens to be being able to love you, and have you in my life.” He thought for a moment. “I know it may not be the best idea, but what if part of it is that you’re still fighting? All the time. I got out to help rebuild everything, help make sure everyone is safer, but you’re still on the front line every time we end up in a battle.”
