Steve rushing over to Tony after some harrowing aerial maneuver that seemed like it was certain death for Tony, grabbing and kissing him the moment he lands and flips up his faceplate, finally letting go of his reservations and self doubt about his feelings after being so scared of losing Tony…
Only for Tony to immediately throw up right after because he kinda scrambled his whole inner ear with that stunt and would be thrilled! to kiss Steve, no really! It’s just he isn’t even aware that it even happened, he only landed on his feet because the JARVIS piloted back to the ground.
Later in the medbay Tony has to 1. find out it happened at all because he was sooo out of it and and he finds out pretty quick because 2. oops the media caught the whole thing and is now running with he’s disgusted by Steve’s overture (some even going the whole “Iron Man: Homophobe???” angle) and 3. try and coax Steve into trying the whole kissing thing again because Steve is kinda traumatized by the whole “kissing someone that then barfs” and is like, you don’t have to if you really don’t want to Tony don’t make yourself sick again 🥺
----
Oh no poor Steve but also poor Tony! Can picture it from Tony's POV where he's been crushing on Steve for ages, and then this big flight moment happens and he's completely out of it, just trying his best not to pass out until he lands and (after vomiting) actually passing out.... only to find out hours or even days later that he'd missed Steve frantically rushing to his side to check on him and planting a big one on his mouth. He missed it! He will never get it back! How does he bring the topic back up with Steve!
Even when Tony does try to bring the topic up with Steve, he then has to deal with Steve being bafflingly vague and sneaky, constantly changing the topic or being so focused on Tony's well-being that Tony can't get another word in edgewise, because Steve's decided that he's gotten Tony's answer already... That was his one chance to make it count and he grossed Tony out so much that he threw up -- the guilt, it is too much! Obviously the next course of action is to not force his presence on Tony or make him uncomfortable in any way😞
Maybe Steve encourages Tony to take a break away from him from the team to clear his head and let bygones be bygones -- would he please not hold a grudge against Steve? Meanwhile Tony is thinking maybe I WILL hold a grudge against Steve if he insists on being AN IDIOT

a lifetime ago i started writing a coda to iron man/captain america: casualties of war, so here’s an excerpt.
Broken glass crunches under Steve’s boots as he enters the wreckage of Avengers Mansion. It seems worse, somehow, than the last time he was here, worse even than how it looked on that fatal night it got destroyed. When he passes by the grand staircase leading up to the private quarters, Steve finds himself rooted to the spot. What would he find on the second floor? Ruin and debris, in all likelihood; wreckage is all that remains of his old room and his life with the Avengers. It’s not your home anymore, a cruel voice reminds him. A familiar pang of loss situates itself in his chest, but Steve only clenches his fists and keeps walking. This is not the time for sentimental, childish thoughts.
Coming here had been stupid and careless--two things he can’t afford to be, especially at this critical juncture. It’s only the latest in a string of poor decisions he’s made in recent weeks, but it may just be the most reckless. Not one of his teammates is aware of his whereabouts, not even Sam, and he hasn’t allowed himself to consider how he’ll handle the situation should it go awry—and it easily can. Steve had already been impetuous enough to lead his team into a trap once, and Bill Foster is dead as a result.
Still, part of Steve clings to the belief that it’s not too late to make things right. Tony is a friend, and they’ve always been able to resolve their differences in the past, have always come out stronger for having done so. There has to be a way for Steve to remind him of that, to make him see reason. For all his bravado, Tony Stark is a good man — always has been. Steve knows that better than most.
They’d agreed to meet at what was once the public conference room, and Steve is surprised to realize that, despite being half an hour early, he’s not the first one there. Even more surprising is the fact it’s Tony sitting behind the oak desk, looking immaculate as ever in a designer suit rather than his armour. Of course, with the help of Extremis, Iron Man could appear at Tony’s whim. Still, this is not what Steve had been expecting, and he finds himself thrown off, unprepared to face his old friend.
“Hello, Steve,” says Tony, using the tone he usually reserves for business meetings and press conferences. Is this what’s become of them? The expression on his face is impassive and carefully controlled. Steve hates it, and simultaneously wishes he’d mastered the skill himself. With his quick temper and inability to rein his emotions in, he’s at a complete disadvantage; he’s a powder keg brimming with anger and betrayal, and any spark could set him off. “I’m glad you could make it. I was afraid you might think this is a trap.”
“No. You wouldn’t. Not here,” Steve insists, and doesn’t mention that very thought has occurred to him. “And if I’m wrong—I’ll deal with it.”  
There’s a slight twitch to Tony’s lips, dangerously close to a show of displeasure, but he regains control and steels his jaw instead. Steve feels smug satisfaction at having elicited some sort of emotion out of him. “You’re not,” Tony says carefully, voice measured. “I haven’t told anyone about this meeting. I just… I thought we should talk.”
The simple admission surprises Steve, something he hopes doesn’t register on his face. Tony stands up from his seat, walking over to the adjacent wall where an old framed photograph of the Avengers remains. The glass is cracked and its positioning is precariously crooked. Tony rights it with careful hands, tracing the frame with his fingers. “All these years… everything we’ve been through together… we owe it to each other to try and work it out, one last time…”
“All right,” Steve acquiesces, lowering his shield as Tony turns around to face him. After all, it’s the reason he’s agreed to this meeting. “Let’s talk.”

Bored, Steve sends badly photoshopped pics of him and Tony to his boyfriend randomly. 
Tony, who knows Steve’s skills, responds,  "Steve, I've seen the shit you make in photoshop, what even is this. And how did you get Paint on your tablet?"
Steve offended and still bored responds with only one thing: 
Tumblr media
Even MORE outraged Tony, who is in the middle of an important SI meeting decides that two can play at this game. 
He angrily downloads the suckiest painting application onto his phone, and adds in his little (TRUE) edits to the picture: 
Tumblr media
The response makes Steve smile but him being the little shit he is decides instead of playing nice he will come up with something even more original: 
Tumblr media
As a final straw, and he can tell Pepper is glaring holes into his head, Tony responds with one last image with a text saying: “guess who’s sleeping on the couch tonight?” 
Tumblr media
Steve’s response is to add the image collection to his online portfolio Tony had set up for him with a title as “My Greatest Master Piece” and a caption reading “To my beloved Tony who loves and supports me and EVERYTHING I make.” 
Needless to say Steve slept on the couch longer than just one night.

Sensory Nervous System
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Summary:
Steve’s fire, and not the cleansing type: he’s pure destruction.
Tony thinks he should fight harder against it, but getting burned seems better than staying intangible, like a ghost, forever.
Inspired by this fragment of today’s Secret Empire where we learn Steve can make AI Tony tangible.

Dear Peter
Song: Dear Theodosia
The Hamilton Musical
Superfamily version
Uploaded by C~
[Tony] Dear little Peter, what to say to you? You have my eyes. You have your grandpa’s name
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I’m dedicating every day to you Domestic life was never quite my style When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart
You will come of age with our young nation We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you If we lay a strong enough foundation We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you And you’ll blow us all away…
Someday, someday Yeah, you’ll blow us all away Someday, someday
[Steve] Oh Peter, when you smile I am undone My son Look at my son. Pride is not the word I’m looking for
There is so much more inside me now Oh Peter, you outshine the morning sun My son When you smile, I fall apart And I thought I was so smart My father wasn’t around
[Tony] My father wasn’t around
[Steve] I swear that I’ll be around for you.
[Tony] I’ll be around for you.
[Steve] I’ll do whatever it takes
[Tony] I’ll make a million mistakes
[Steve/Tony] we’ll make the world safe and sound for you… …will come of age with our young nation We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you And you’ll blow us all away... Someday, someday Yeah, you’ll blow us all away
@ok-but-first-tea and I have a headcanon where one night, Steve and Tony’s young son Peter, (genetically made, or from a surrogate mother), wakes up the two dads, crying, and Tony goes to calm him down by singing for him, with Steve joining him later. 
@ok-but-first-tea first came with the song, telling me how well it fit Steve/Tony, and I immediately fell in love with the idea. Because it really does!
~
 {Tony; domestic life was never quite my style; and I thought I was so smart; my father wasn’t around; i’ll make a million mistakes} And he will! Insecure!Tony, questioning his ability to be a dad, will make a lot of mistakes, but he will learn from them, and with Steve’s loving help and support, he’ll eventually get over his fear of turning out just like Howard, and become on of the best dads a kid could wish for. <3
 {Steve; pride is not the word i’m looking for; there is so much more inside me now; my father wasn’t around; i’ll be around for you; i’ll do whatever it takes} Papa Steve would be extremely proud of his child, no matter what decisions he might make, and will be supportive of his kid, always ready to be there for him. He would do anything for Peter.
 {Both; We’ll make the world safe and sound for you; we’ll bleed and fight for you; we’ll make it right for you} In a literal sense! They’ll fight bad guys and aliens for their son, make sure the world is safe enough when he comes of age to venture into the world on his own, and also quite literally give the world to him, as he will later turn into Spiderman, and take over Steve and Tony’s responsibility as superhero.
~
I am working on a fic on this headcanon, and although I can’t say with certainty that I’ll finish it, I will try my best to eventually do so xD
I also drew art of this, which can be found here, with the full headcanon. 
Ps:  ‘You have your grandpa’s name’ Is a personal headcanon of mine where Steve’s grandfather was named Peter, and because his actual father wasn’t there for him, his grandfather played a huge part in his youth, taking the role of father figure for young Steve. And to honour him, Steve insisted on naming their son after his grandfather, hence ‘you have your grandpa’s name’.

Scandal! Tony Stark, famously un-mated Omega is seen PREGNANT after a lengthy absence from the public! How could this irresponsible playboy think it’s a good idea to bring a child into his sordid lifestyle? At his age? We ask 12 experts their opinion on why this will set Omega rights back 10 years
“It’s just not right,” says Omega expert Reverend Robertson, Alpha and pastor of the Evangelical Traditionalist Mega Church
“We should throw Stark the slut in jail like we would have 20 years ago for adultery,” says Fox New contributor and billionaire beta Carlsonz
Captain America Quits? Insiders tell us about the tensions brewing in the Team thanks to Tony Starks latest fiasco
“Captain Rogers is scandalized” says an insider, “he’s trying to navigate this horrible circumstance as best he can but it’s hard when Stark owns the HQ, he and the rest of the team are looking into legal options to separate the team and keep the their rightful assets”
“The team was going their best to put up with Stark's antics, but to bring a child into it is too far,” spills another insider, a close personal friend of the Captain, “ Steve- sorry, Captain Rogers, haha, he’s been working so hard to wrangle Stark but there’s only so much a strong, moral Alpha like him can take and unfortunately Stark has been protected by our woke Omega protection laws up to this point, Steve's- I mean Captain Rogers' words not mine, we need to strike down these laws or else we'll see a wave of similar bad Omega behavior if we don’t forcefully correct it like we used to in the good old days, again the good Captain's words not mine.”
how does steve respond publicly to this and similar head/by-lines? see he and Tony agreed to keep their relationship on the downlow buuutttttt
----
What a scenario! Steve figures he should've seen this coming, no matter that he thought Tony's old reputation was, well, old news, and he thought that the 21st century was supposed to be comparatively liberating for "unmated" omegas.
Time to be very strategic about it and set up a quick drive-by public meet-n-greet with a reputable journalist that likes (and his camera crew) -- hell maybe Steve just goes for that weather reporter he liks, and when Steve predictably gets asked what he thinks about Tony being preggers, Steve can just say that he's nervous about being a first-time father and they haven't decided on a name yet, and before the journalist can recover from shock and follow up with another question OOP LOOK DOCTOR DOOM IS INVADING AGAIN GOTTA RUN and off Steve goes bye~

Omegle rp
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You both like Superhusbands, and Stony.
You: Okay, whatever Clint says, I didn't do it-TS
Stranger: He hasn't told me anything today... What did you do? SR
You: Oh, looks like he hasn't arrived, in which case, nothing-TS
Stranger: Tony tell me. SR
You: Okay, okay, but promise you won't get mad-TS
Stranger: I'm not promising anything. i'll try not to. SR
You: Remember two days ago when we were looking for a new couch because we can't fit in the one we have right now during movie nights?-TS
Stranger: Yeah, but like I was saying we only can't fit when both of us wanna lie down together.. SR
You: So we were watching some displays from an online store and well, there was a little problem with the order-TS
Stranger: A little problem? What's the problem? SR
You: When I placed the order and I said I woul buy everything in the picture, well, they took it a bit too literally-TS
Stranger: ...Okay what was in the picture? SR
You: The couch, some cushions, a little coffee table...-TS
Stranger: That's not too bad. SR
You: Some weird flower vase, and a cat-TS
Stranger: A cat. Why would they send a cat? Is it a real cat? SR
You: Yes-TS
You: They even have it on different colors, so they gave us the default one-TS
Stranger: It's a simple mistake we can send the stuff we don't want back and help find the cat a good family. SR
You: They said no refunds or exchanges-TS
You: I already called-TS
Stranger: Okay so donate the extra to a second hand store. Some family who needs those would die to have new stuff like this for a thrift store price. SR
You: They said there's a doc they show you to read before you place your order that says all about it-TS About the cat I mean-TS
You: And if I remember correctly, it did show up but we didn't read it because that was right when your hands started to go south-TS
Stranger: I still don't understand why they thought a cat was part of the piece of furniture that we wanted. SR
You: Well, I guess they're used to deal with extravagant rich people-TS
You: So we have a cat now-TS
You: Can we keep it?-TS
Stranger: ..I don't know who's gonna take care of it? We are way too busy to take care of animals. SR
You: I will-TS
Stranger: Tony you barely remember to feed yourself sometimes. SR
You: I can set up a schedule with Jarvis-TS
You: I'm sure an automatic feeder and kitty litter cleaner wouldn't be hard to make-TS
You: Though I'm pretty sure they already exist-TS
Stranger: They already exist, yeah but what kind of emotional bond is that? SR
Stranger: The cats gonna love a machine more than you. SR
You: Well, the cat is sleeping on me right now, so joke's on you, Cap-TS
Stranger: It won't be once it knows it's feeder is that machine and not you. SR
You: So you're saying cats love only the thing that feeds it?-TS
Stranger: I mean most animals do. Dogs do it too sometimes. SR
You: Well, me and my very cute, fluffy and loving kitty will sleep in the workshop, away from you, heartless man-TS
Stranger: I'm not heartless it's the truth! SR
You: Whatever, Steeb-TS
You: If you want to come and meet the cat, you're welcome, but remember, it can't love you because it'll love the feeder more than anyone-TS
Stranger: If you feed your cat it will love you more. SR
Stranger: I don't need to meet it, I am sure it will find it's way and wander to me sometime. SR
You: Whatever you want, honey-TS
Stranger: Okay I don't get mad at you for having the cat like you asked of me, but now you're mad at me for telling you something about animals that's 75% of the time the truth. SR
You: First, you wouldn't even have to get mad in the first place, since you haven't even seen the cat nor shown any interest in it-TS Second of all, I'm not mad-TS
Stranger: You said you wanted to sleep in the workshop away from me.. SR
You: Okay, I might have said that-TS
Stranger: You didn't "might have" you did. SR
You: You said something true-TS
You: Maybe a bit closer to home that I would've liked-TS
Stranger: Okay..? Was it the cat comment? SR
You: Which one of them?-TS
Stranger: The one where the cat will love the feeding machine more than you..? SR
You: Now that you say it again, yeah-TS
Stranger: Oh.. Sorry. SR
You: It's true-TS
You: Everyone seems to like you more when you provide-TS
Stranger: Tony.. What? What are you talking about? SR
You: Nothing-TS
You: The cat won't have an automatic feeder-TS
Stranger: No, Tony talk to me. Please.. SR
You: About what?-TS
Stranger: About what you meant by that everyone seems to like you more when you provide comment. SR
You: Yeah, no-TS
You: I'm too busy for that-TS
Stranger: You know. SR
Stranger: You used to talk to me more about things that had been bothering you. SR
Stranger: But nowadays it just seems like you're trying to shut me out when I wanna help. SR
You: Because I don't need help with that-TS It doesn't bother me-TS
Stranger: Do you honestly think I am only here because you give me housing, food and equipment? SR
You: Not only because of it-TS
You: But it counts-TS
Stranger: I'm here because I love you and I love living with you not because you give me stuff, but because you're a great partner who knows how to make me laugh at the stupidest things and are a huge dork who cares way too much about people. SR Tony you could have nothing to offer to me, and I'd still be there for you because I like being around you. SR
You: That's because you're too good-TS
Stranger: Trust me I am not good to everyone. SR
You: Some people seems to expect it-TS
Stranger: Well I am only good to good people. SR
You: I didn't mean that-TS
Stranger: Well what did you mean, then? SR
You: People seems to expect to be given things-TS
Stranger: A lot of people expect a lot from you, and you are usually willing to give it to them if you like them, and even then you've done stuff for people who haven't been entirely great to you and that's why you are someone with a heart of gold who cares so much and I love you. SR
You: You really don't want to come and meet Robot?-TS
Stranger: You named it Robot. SR
You: Her-TS
Stranger: Her, sorry. I expected some silly food name. SR
You: Like what?-TS
Stranger: I don't know. You have a robot arm named Butterfingers and one of your little nicknack robots name is Eggrolls. SR
You: I name my bots like food and my cat like a robot, big deal-TS
You: At least I didn't name her snowball-TS
Stranger: ((im sorry I gotta sleep I am so tired but this was so cute and fun thank you!! I love your Tony have a good night <3))
Stranger has disconnected

Stony&any timeframe: Steve and Tony sharing an awkward silence and then laugh when they see a “news” story about how Steve rejected Tony’s wicked advances because of his sordid past and how Steve is against homosexuality anyway. And they laugh because that never happened so the “reporters” being so confidently wrong is hilarious
“And it’s not the real reason we never got together anyway” Tony says knowingly. And then does not elaborate
And Steve is like wait what? I mean I know and you know but clearly… other people want to know haha Tony come back
------
Oh no, I love this! Poor Steve, no matter how he tries to subtle poke at Tony or laugh it off as though he's in on the joke, he's got to be stewing and anxious over what it is that's apparently SO obvious to Tony but isn't to him. What did he miss?
Did Steve make a careless remark that Tony took seriously? Did Steve do something when injured that he doesn't remember? Is Tony assuming erroneous something about Steve's preferences? What is it, Tony, don't leave him hanging!
.....how disappointed would Steve be when he finally pesters Tony so much that Tony's all, "Why are you still going on about that, the real reason is because we're not attracted to each other, duh."
And Steve is like, "That's it? That's your reason?" The wind's out of his sails, and he wanders off baffled and at a loss.
Which makes it Tony's turn to double-take and be like, "Wait, what do you mean my reason?"

Rhodey making Steve jealous on purpose because he wants to haze Steve once he figures out Steve is interested in Tony (as is his right)
----
Once Rhodey notices Steve's longing looks, he'd be vicious! After all, what's Steve excuse for not making a move?
So Rhodey would make direct eye contact with Steve and put his arm around Tony's shoulder and pull him in, and Tony of course flops into a cuddle against Rhodey's side, and Rhodey puts a cherry on top with, "No sugar for me?" to which Tony laughs and kisses him.
Steve wants to melt into the floor. Rhodey is still holding eye contact with him.

Hello Annie! I was craving pining steve and reread some of your stories earlier. One of them was Background Noise. And if you don't mind,I just wanted to ask, did Tony ever found out the rest of the things that Steve did to make Tony's life easier? Steve was okay before that tony didn't knew it was him so I feel like he wouldn't outright tell tony about it later. But as a reader, I want tony to acknowledge sweet Steve's previous actions 🥺😅
-----
OHHHHHH that's a good one, you're right although Steve might feel a pang, it wouldn't occur to him to bring it up to Tony after the fact as if he's chasing recognition... But Tony has already put 2+2 together between the tarts and that other previously mysteriously appearing baked goods and how Steve checked in on him...
So Tony gets to go on a fun scavenger hunt to find out what else he's missed by asking around the team as obnoxiously as possible. And I reckon Natasha and/or Bruce have made a list of everything they've observed that they'll obnoxiously wave in Tony's face, and Tony gets offended about it like, "Why didn't any of you SAY anything!!"
Then Tony goes and lovingly harasses Steve like, "This is NOT how you woo someone, okay!" And Steve is just like, "It worked, though." And Tony's all, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN MEAN TO WOO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE"
Which Steve can't refute because Tony is correct, whoops. Doesn't stop Tony from being all verklempt😳 about Steve's acts of service though....

Post EG Stony where Steve saved Tony by offering up half his years left for Tony (tho the math might be not to bad for a super serumed Steve…) OR! Tony is brought back by being tethered to Steve’s life where if one of them dies the other one does too
And all the messy emotional fallout that happens with those kinda scenarios. Like, what is owed? How can they ever be equal after that sacrifice? (Tho Steve would argue it only starts evening out what Tony did for Steve and everyone else in the first place…)
If it’s the “half” option, does it visibly age Steve or de-age Tony? If it’s tethered are they now super careful in a way they weren’t before because it could mean the other comes to harm? Is the tether only with death or can they feel each other’s hurt?
Would it be better as a fraught Post EG or a more Avengers Active point where there’s more danger?
-----
What a fascinating idea! Definitely more interesting (to me!) for the post EG era with all that post-CW and "liar" baggage behind them yet still informing their choices. Whatever the mechanism (if it's shared lifespan or tethered lives) I can totally see it where once Tony is revived, Steve's first instinct is to not tell Tony, but then the shame hits him and he is determined to find a way to tell Tony and accept whatever happens next.
Like Steve would open that dreaded convo with, "Tony, I need to tell you something, and you will probably be angry, but this thing I'm about to tell you has already been done. You can't change it." Fully expecting that he will have to make himself scarce immediately after.
I totally agree with you that Steve would frame it as evening things out, with the argument that he's finally fulfiling his promise to Tony that they'd do it "together", and he's merely sharing the sacrifice that Tony shouldn't have had to make alone. It's a shared burden now, don't you see! And Tony has more time with Morgan, isn't that a good thing?
Both mechanisms are interesting, though... Like if it's a shared lifespan, that would allow Steve to keep his distance from Tony until Tony drags him back in, but if it's tethered lives then there's that different kind of angst where have to be responsible for each other and for themselves. Great potential either way!

Just reread the 'A Furious Vexation' verse, and have a brainworm over how- as their relationship grows -their domestic PDA would grow. Obvs the verse has a vastly different take on acceptable PDA, like how being all sweet with each other would raise more eyebrows than fucking, and I wouldn't expect either Steve or Tony to be too fond of that type of PDA anyway (at least in this verse) but I wanted to ask you if you had any Oh They're Domestic headcanons about how their relationship progresses? Does Steve's constant staring yield? Does the "Stark" name get thrown around more & does it cause a little chaos as people react to Tony's reappearance? Sorry to bring back an old verse but it's got me totally hooked again! Really really well-written- all the emotional beats are so accurately pinned down -with the fight scene between Thor and Steve being an absolute masterclass for writers in the fandom.
----
Ooooh thank you! Gosh okay, I'm very fond of that universe with that high octane possessiveness etc, though I haven't thought as much about their future, just little bits of maybe here and there as their attachment deepens and Steve's gang accepts that Tony's part of it, and Tony accepts his part in the gang.
Like there'd be more of Tony casually crawling into Steve's lap whenever and wherever (just to sit there and be held!) and Steve physically picking Tony up whenever and wherever he wants Tony's company, and for Tony a big moment is when he accepts his status within Steve's gang -- which means that his opinions matter. His orders matter. The others slowly start to turn to him to instruction and Tony, despite his still-present anxieties about his supposedly destructive nature, comes into his own and takes that shared leadership role at Steve's side.
Also Tony gets overwhelmed whenever Steve, standing stern and arms crossed as he thinks about some problem then just silently looks at Tony to get his opinion. It's probably not meant to be sexy! But it is! Steve can still pin Tony in place with just a glance!
Meanwhile Steve finds it so so sexy when Tony finally speaks up out of turn to drop some snarky thought that their gang actually listens to, even if they grumble about it. Dropping the Stark name (that's a good one, anon!) in public is also a useful too, isn't it -- like even though Tony winces sometimes, the fearful reaction it gets out of other people makes Steve so proud.
Oh! I may have mentioned before but I just remembered, I also figure that Steve and Tony will wear each other's marks. Like Steve already gave Tony that leather piece with a star to wear on his wrist, but Tony will give something to Steve in return and Steve is so verklempt (in his post-apocalyptic gang leader way) that he temporarily devolves the leadership role to Sam for a few days while Steve takes Tony away for some alone time. (Tony: 🤷‍♀️)
