The hug that Tony needed? It lingered. It was the first embrace he’d had in a long time and he really needed it. Poor Bruce likely had no idea what it meant to the Engineer, or why Tony had latched onto him so fiercely in the first place, but there it was and he could scarcely keep it all together. His eyes were a little wet as he swallowed back some of the pain and finally took Bruce to where he could start to set up the medical bay to his liking. There was a lot there already that he could use but some of it Tony and Bucky hadn’t been able to figure out and so just left it. Just in case. He’d stay lingering in the doorway too, just watching Bruce.
The man was probably going to hate him by the end of this with how very clingy Tony was being, considering that they barely knew each other. Hopefully he’d just let it go as some sort of trauma that Stark had sustained and let it go as that.
Back on the planet, Steve moved through the streets slowly, as if this was in the heart of Germany and not their nation’s capital. Bruce didn’t mention any other survivors, but there were too many places here for people to hide and they couldn’t risk being ambushed. Steve knew what happened to war torn people. They changed. They fought….even those trying to save them.
“It’s clear straight up the Mall,” Steve said, gazing at the ruin of the Washington memorial for a moment, spire broken into three pieces, before he jogged up the front lawn of the history museum.
