Summary: The battle in New York is only the second time Steve Rogers has seen New York again since his defrosting, and the first time went remarkably poorly. Afterwards, after shawarma, and a blissfully hot shower, they all meet in Central Park to see Thor and his nutty brother off, and Steve gets on his beautiful restored motorcycle that SHIELD had procured out of nowhere, and intends to get on the road, see the new America, and spend some time out in this brave new world he needs to rediscover.
He has only made it as far as Jersey City before his hands start shaking, and he finds an unmoving lump in his throat and a horrible sinking feeling in his stomach. He pulls off to the side of the road, and gasps for breath. It takes him 10 minutes to get himself mostly under control, and he turns back to New York with his vision still blurry and his heart pounding a lot faster than he’d like.
Notes: First part of the tiny spaces series which continues with some more Tony/Steve (getting together with a side of miscommunication), a hilarious Steve & Natasha friendship fic, some wonderful recovering!Coulson Clint/Coulson fic, and an amazing Coulson & Maria friendship fic. So def read the rest if any of that tickles your fancy
