Comment Fic Fest: The Sequel

[garrideb]

It's been a year since our last one, so hopefully we've all got tons of ideas to share and stories to write!

The Rules:

1. All prompts should either be Steve and Tony gen, or Steve/Tony. Other pairings are allowed as long as Steve/Tony is included. Threesomes and moresomes are fine.

2. Anonymous posting will be on. Be respectful of each other and of the characters. No bashing.

3. One prompt per comment. Fic should be posted as replies to the prompt they are filling. If a fic does not fit in one comment, separate it into multiple comments and label them 'part one', 'part two', etc., in the subject line. Feel free to write fic for prompts that have already been filled. The more the merrier!

4. If your fic contains anything in our mandatory warning policy (rape, noncon, dubcon, or underage sex, character death, and explicit torture) please warn for it in the subject line.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. And most importantly, have fun!

FILL: Finders Keepers, 2/?

Embarrassingly, it took seeing the uniform for Tony to make the connection. Mystery Ice Dude was almost completely defrosted by the time anyone would let Tony close enough to examine him, and by then the silver star on his chest was shining clear as a beacon. Tony took one look and dropped his sunglasses.

"Ms. Potts, correct me if I'm wrong, but I could swear that that's Captain America."

Pepper stooped down with brisk, easy grace and handed him his glasses back. "That's correct."

"You didn't think to mention this earlier."

"I know how you like figuring things out for yourself, sir."

"That's so kind of you."

Tony drew closer, fascinated. The Captain looked younger than he did in all of the posters and trading cards and action figures and--well, everything. He looked barely twenty-five, if that, and so squeaky-clean it hurt.

"The world's first superhero," he mumbled to himself, and felt rather than saw Pepper's eyebrows go up in surprise. "What? I'm allowed to like superheros. I was a kid once, you know. I had the comics and everything."

"Yes sir. Do you want to see what else they found?"

"There's more? Of course there's more, what am I saying, he crashed with a plane full of Hydra tech not to mention an unknown energy source, if they found him they must have--what?" Pepper was now openly staring at him. It made his voice come out a little defensive. "Yes, okay, I might have hacked the military files when I was sixteen and curious and I might have a copy of the tape with his last words. It's Captain America, Pepper! You would have done the same in my position."

"I'm actually an Invisible Woman fan," Pepper told him archly, then motioned to one of the techs off to the side. "Can we see the rest of the retrieved artifacts please?"

They showed him everything they had managed to get from the downed plane, the most interesting of which were the devices for extracting energy from the power source (which was not itself in evidence). Tony had those shipped to his lab for immediate examination upon his return. The shield, however, stayed with him.

"Mr. Stark, we're planning on moving the, uhm, the subject to a recovery center in New York. We think it would be best for him to wake up in familiar surroundings...50s tech, baseball on the radio, that sort of thing."

"That's ridiculous and if you worked for me you'd be fired. Scratch that, you're fired anyways. Anyone else who thinks it's a good idea to stick a trained super-soldier with demonstrated deductive abilities into an environment meant to mimic something that he's experienced and we haven't? You're fired too. We have a medical lab in the Manhattan annex, he's coming there. And we're putting one person in the room, someone with military experience but not on active duty, with no weapons, who will call me personally the minute he wakes up. Understand?"

There were a couple of hesitant nods, and one woman pulled out her phone and began dialing a call. Tony grinned at her. "Quick on the uptake. I like you; you're not fired."
