Tony's POV

I felt scared and sickly, I needed to calm down. I remembered: Little space! Slip into it, Rhodes won't mind. I mean he is..or was my caregiver but I preferred to call him 'papa' or 'daddy'. 'Papa' when age ranging from 10-5 years and 'Daddy' when age ranging from 5-1 years. He always swore to protect me and he keeps that promise, I trust him. Alot. I gave a rumble of a purr like sound as I nuzzled his shoulder with a small smile.

"Daddy..?"

I quietly spoke, my voice timid. I could tell Rhodey knew I slipped deeper than he'd of expected but what could I say? It wasn't my fault I needed to. I felt Rhodey rub my back gently as he made me look at him while he softly smiled. I relaxed and purred quietly. I could hear him speak words of encouragement and love. It made me happy.

"I love you babyboy, do you want a drink?" I heard him ask, I nodded softly. I felt happy and calm, safe even. I knew I should of done this with Peter but..What if he didn't accept it? I grew concerned which caused me to make a whine. Rhodes kissed my cheek gently.

Rhodey's POV

I sat still holding Tony, my mind filled with worry although I knew he felt safe with me but I couldn't help but worry. I heard him give a rumble like purr as he nuzzled my shoulder as I felt a small smile was on his expression. I relaxed from it.

"Daddy..?"

I heard just barely as his voice was timid sounding, it gave a better clear indicator that Tony had slipped deeper I had expected, but I couldn't be mad. He needed to. It made him calm. I gently rubbed Tony's back as I made him look at me before I smiled softly. I saw that Tony relaxed and he purred quietly. I smiled and spoke words of encouragement and love to him because I knew it made him feel better.

"I love you babyboy, do you want a drink?" I asked which I received a soft nod. I knew he was happy but after a few minutes I heard a whine so I kissed Tony's cheek gently. I moved him to sit on the sofa/couch while I went to make him a drink, I came back and handed him the bottle, I knew he kept them. I did buy them..but how did he hide them? That I am not going to question.

Tony held the cup and happily drank from it, I smiled abit lovingly but knew he couldn't see. It broke me..I sighed, I frowned worriedly as I hugged Tony gently. Allowing him to lean against me. I frowned abit, he hasn't been able see for three years..That day angered me..I chuckled when I heard a happy sound come from Tony.

I grew thankful to know he's happy. It was good to see him be happy than sad. I missed hearing his laughter at the compound, especially when working on projects or talking to some of the others. I don't actually know how many of them truly miss Tony. I mean..we was secretly dating towards the end of Steve and Tony's relationship and once they was broken up we made it official. It hurt when we was told Tony was no longer able to be an avenger. I sighed as I thought about it, I however heard soft babbling from Tony. I chuckled gently.

"Hey my Little Prince, what has got you to babble?"

I asked to him as he just looked to find me and grinned while chuckling gently at him, it made me happy to see him happy. Before long, Tony was asleep against my side from the warm milk that he was given. I listened to the soothing sound of his sleeping breaths and watching the rise and fall of his chest. I kissed his forehead, hoping he'd be in big headspace when he wakes up.

Bucky/Winter Soldier's POV

I was annoyed that they had sent me to fetch a young girl called Marina, why? They couldn't be asked to get her creator, Pierce to do it. I scanned my surroundings as I had an image in my hand of what Marina looked like so I could easily 'bring her home' as I was told. I gripped my head slightly as I could hear James yelling to leave her alone, it hurt. I pulled the mask up before I went to be set onto my mission to collect Marina from whoever she is with.

"This should be easy..If she is alone at least."

I muttered to myself as I looked around the streets and places so I could survey the people, I made sure to stay in the shadows and not get caught. 'No survivors, must remember that' I thought to myself. Of course that would be easy, I didn't care. It took alittle bit to find her, when I did, I grabbed her. Holding a knife to her throat, I heard her scream out a name.

"PETER!!"

It caused a young boy to snap around to face her, his eyes had gone wide upon seeing me most likely. I felt bad, somewhat. I had to hide it, I hated that I could at times feel emotions. That was because of Rumlow. I sighed under my mask which caused my goggles to steam up slightly. I made my breaths go down, making them low, well low enough to not steam my goggles up. I stared at Marina, I held her with the knife to her throat. I could hear the voice screaming at me again.

'Put her down Winter..NOW! ASSET PLEASE PUT HER DOWN BEFORE WE ACCIDENTALLY HURT HER MORE THAN SHE DESERVES'

The tone of voice..It seemed reasonable yet I couldn't, I was told to bring her back even if it meant I had to say her activation words. I was given permission to say them once and once only. It would be the only time I'd be allowed to even speak.

Peter's POV

My eyes was wide, I just- Marina didn't- fuck..I was so shocked at the fact she is actually his niece! I watched as Stephen hugged a somewhat chubby male which made me chuckle softly. I never would of thought that Marina was like this, being family to Stephen Strange because she acted so..differently it made me surprised to see her react like this to Stephen. However..I heard her scream out my name.

"PETER!!"

I snapped my head to face her, my eyes abruptly opened wide. A male with a mask held her to knife point. My eyes shrunk as I screamed in fear. I didn't have time to properly react about it. I couldn't go into my suit. Not here, not in public! I couldn't help but be frozen in place as panic coursed through my body, my friend was in the hands of a madman. I didn't know what to believe, but I noticed Stephen had already got orangey like shields. It shocked me. Stephen looked ready to kill the male.

Not before everything went black..
