Pressed against the other side Toni watches with a young, girlish sort of glee that she can’t remember ever feeling before, as JARVIS shows her the way James thunks his head against the wood of her door with a quiet curse. “Fuck,” James breathes, his voice clear in her ear thanks to JARVIS, “I’m in trouble.” And then James grins, bright and beautiful and filled with an obvious sort of joy that the sight of it makes Toni’s heart beat double time. “Worth it,” James whispers as he presses a kiss to the fingers of his flesh hand and then presses those to her door, “fucking worth it.”
Tony uses JARVIS’s security cameras to watch Bucky after he walks her back to her room (chp. 4)

“Hades and Persephone reborn huh,” Fury states then more than asks, “no need to ask which is which.”
Toni’s brows furrow even as dread begins to squirm to life inside of her.
But before she can say anything, before she can open her mouth and set the record straight, she hears it.
A murmur as loud as a scream from somewhere in the tomb silent bridge.
“That whole Merchant of Death thing,” someone off to the side faux whispers, “makes a lot more sense now.”
It echoes across the bridge like a gunshot.
Part 15 of The Components of Construction series (AO3) but is a stand alone story
