Everything Left Unsaid

"The fight had been going well. A bunch of mutants playing at being big bad villains, but they were easy to take down. Steve and Natasha were working on pushing the last of the stragglers toward the middle of central park, where the rest of the team was on standby, keeping an eye on the rest of them, until the barebones remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D could figure out what to do with them. Everything had been going so well. Granted, it’s the seventh or eighth fight they’ve had this week, but this is /small stuff/. When Steve hears that a teammate is down, his first reaction is not who, or where, but ‘how’.

He’s not expecting to hear that it’s Tony."

or: a study in what happens, when a teammate suddenly collapses in the field, and spends half a week in a coma.

He finds himself in different places, living different lives. And yet it all comes back to Steve.

Something happens after Avengers: Infinity War that put Tony into a coma. Steve's devastated and spends time at his bedside when he can. They had just started to make things work between them. But it seems he's not the only one looking out for Tony?

Meanwhile Tony has lost everything - and the only thing left for him is to make it right for others.

He doesn’t remember who he is or who his friends are, but he knows he’s in a Nazi prison and needs to get away. He doesn’t remember anything about Captain America either, but the man seems to be the kind of guy you trust.
And apparently they share more history than meets the eye at first glance.

After he discovers that a high ranking government official is the leader of the terrorist organization known as the Secret Empire, Steve Rogers decides to give up being Captain America. (Captain America Vol. 1 #180). Now he tries to find out what else to do with himself.
Picking up a new hero identity and keeping in touch with the man he's had a bit of a crush on since he met him, leaves a lot to work out.
