Tony Stark is Not Always Right

Or: the homophobic!Steve trope must die

Featuring background Bruce/Tony and brief Capsicoul

It’s not a good sign when Tony Stark shows up to his office voluntarily.

Normally, it takes an act of god, or gods, for Stark to even show up to a mandatory SHIELD briefing - and if he does, he’s more often than not sauntering in 15 minutes late, only to point out that everyone else there is wrong.

Tony Stark just popping by his office, without being summoned? There’s either been an earth shattering disaster, or a massive shift into an alternate universe.

Coulson hopes it’s the former. He really can’t deal with inter-universal transfer today.

Stark doesn’t knock, just wanders in and drops into a chair, kicking it back onto two legs and swinging his feet up towards Coulson’s desk.

“No feet on the desk,”

He drops them to the floor without a retort. Coulson wonders what Stark managed to break this time.

Coulson resumes his paperwork, leafing through the files on junior agents. He can hear Stark tapping his feet on the floor.

He marks the file with a red pen and pulls the next one off the stack.

Stark clears his throat.

Coulson opens the file, skimming the agent’s name and security clearance.

Stark sighs.

Coulson turns the page.

“So,” Stark finally relents. “It’s about Cap,”

Coulson looks up.

“Okay, this is not my fault.” Stark says, scooting his chair backwards.

“What did you do.”

“I didn’t do anything!” Tony holds up his hands in a gesture of surrender. “Seriously, Coulson, I did not break your favorite action figure.”

He pinches the bridge of his nose. “Is Captain Rogers hurt?”

“What? No, no, Cap’s fine.” Stark says. “It’s just…”

Coulson spares a moment to wait before returning to the file.

“It’s just,” Stark finally continues, “What with Bruce and me being, you know, together and stuff, I think Steve’s been sort of… uncomfortable? Not that he’s being a jerk about it or anything,” He adds hastily, “Because, y’know, Captain America, but it just seems like he’s just… not totally cool with it? And I was wondering, what with having been a Capsicle and missing Stonewall and about 70 years of the gay rights movement, he might have a … problem?”

Coulson sighs.  “A problem.”

“Yeah,” Tony fiddles with the corner of the chair.  “See, it sounds stupid when you say it.”

He pinches the bridge of his nose. “Have you talked to Steve about this?”

“Yeah, ‘cause that’s a fun conversation to have with Captain America. ‘Hey, no judgement, since you missed out on 70 years of social progress doing time as a Capsicle, but I think you might be a little bit homophobic.’ Really what I want to be doing with my life.”

Phil stares down at the handwriting on the latest file, wondering if the universe is about to shift back to normal, and Stark will vanish from his office. When he hears Tony tapping his feet on the floor, he gives up any hope of him spontaneously disappearing.

“Have you talked to Bruce about this?”

“Bruce…” Tony scratches the back of his neck. “I mean, Bruce doesn’t think it’s really any of our business, but that’s Bruce, right? Conflict avoidance, and all that. And I mean, Cap’s our team. I think that’s important, right? But he’s definitely noticed. Bruce has, I mean. It’s not like I’m imagining this.”

Coulson resists the urge to bury his face in his hands. “Why are you telling me this?”

Stark leans back in his chair and shrugs. “Well, you’re basically team babysitter. And you’re the resident Cap’ expert. I thought you could,” he waves his hand vaguely, “do your… super secret agent thing.”

Coulson leans into his desk. “Do you want my opinion?”

“Yeah. Sure.” Stark tilts the chair back onto two legs again.

He sighs. “I know that if I had held hands with my boyfriend in college-” And yes, he definitely takes a moment to enjoy the ‘wait, Coulson’s queer?” look that flashes across Stark’s face. “- anywhere in public that wasn’t specifically a queer space, I would have had the threat of violence hanging over my head.” He closes the file in front of him. “When Steve was growing up, that threat would have only been worse.” He straightens the files on his desk and looks straight at Tony. “Steve’s not uncomfortable with you and Bruce because he’s homophobic. He’s uncomfortable because he’s preparing to fight for you.”

For once, Stark doesn’t seem to have anything to say, and that in itself is an accomplishment.

“But,” He finally stutters, “He knows it’s better now, right? He knows it’s better?”

Coulson stands up. “Old habits die hard. And,” He adds as he stares down at the faces of junior agents, “It’s hard to say honestly that there is no threat.”

Tony swallows, and looks down at the floor.

The tense silence is broken by a light rap at the door. “Hey, Phil. Hey, Tony,” Steve Rogers looks across the office cautiously. “I’m not interrupting, am I?”

“No, we were just finishing up.” Coulson tells him, leveling his gaze at Tony, who mutters, “Yeah,”

“Hill just sent me to pick up the files for the Budapest op,” Steve tells him as he walks in,

“I’m almost done,” Coulson marks the last file with a check as Steve slides behind the desk and presses a quick kiss to his cheek. “It should be a good team. I’m hoping that -”

“Waitwaitwait,” Stark splutters, “Did I just see that right? You two…?” He jabs his finger between the two of them.

Coulson barely spares Tony a dismissive glance before selecting the approved files from his desk. “Tell Hill not to let Natasha scare them too badly. I’m hopeful for this lot.”

Steve grins, “I wouldn’t get your hopes up, but I’ll tell her.” He looks around at Tony, and back at Phil, “Did I miss anything important?”

“Not really,” Phil sets the files down and slips a hand around Steve’s waist. “Stark was worried that your conservative 40’s upbringing might have made you a closet homophobe.”

“Oh,” Steve pauses for a moment, head tilted, “No, I don’t think so,” He concludes, running his fingers up Phil’s tie.

Tony throws up his hands. “Okay, guys, we are rapidly approaching brain breaking territory. Coulson, you’re the Avengers handler, I don’t think you’re allowed to break Iron Man.”

“Oh, I’m allowed. I’ve been petitioning Director Fury to replace you with Colonel Rhodes for months.”

“Rhodey? What? No!” Stark splutters. “Guys…”

“You know where the door is.”

Hi! Once you get this you must share five random facts about yourself. Then pass this on to your ten favourite followers.

Oh hey! Where to begin…

1) I started growing my hair out when the first haircut I got in Washington state was awful and I refused to get another for, like, 2 years.

2) The first thing I ever learned to play on guitar was the riff from Come As You Are by Nirvana.

3) My first Shakespearean role in a production (as opposed to just monologues) was Oberon, which is a hell of a way to start. Similarly, my first show I was in as a teenager was in the chorus of Sweeney Todd.

4) I have a really addictive personality, which is part of the reason I won't touch things like alcohol or marijuana, or even coffee. (Also coffee is gross.)

5) I've never been in a romantic relationship that lasted less than a year.

Anyone I tagged (or anyone else) may feel free to do this or not as you choose. There's a few more than ten of you because I'm indecisive.

So I'm watching Terra Nova for the first time...

And first let me say that I ship Wash x Taylor like breathing, but I'm on the second to last episode and I accidentally spoiled myself and THEY'RE GOING TO SINK MY SHIP. IRREVOCABLY. THROUGH DEATH. And there are very few people around me right now who speak fandom so I'm turning to tumblr for comfort. Someone hold me?

helenofeddis replied to your post:"She’s only 600 years old, she’s just a baby." ...

Wait, then I’m confused. How did she become captain of the guard?

...lol I kind of wondered that also buuuuut I'm not going to complain

maybe she was just that good, the same way Sif became the goddess of war? Sif's not that old either

Magneto's complete and utter disdain for Wolverine is one of the truly glorious parts of X2.

"What are you going to do? Scratch it with your claws?"

"Once again, you think its all about you."

Honestly if they could get Ian McKellen to record in-character commentary for the Wolverine movies I might actually watch them.

Kevin, what in the name of all gods is going on.
