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."

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.
