War Machine Bingo, M5: Bar/Club

What do you wish for?

The common phrase is that in a room of 23 people, there’s a 50-50 chance two people share a birthday.

On October 6th, two very different people meet in a bathroom.

James Rhodes is an honest man, working as a prosecutor for the SVU, who’s divorcing his emotionally abusive wife, Sunset Bain, on his birthday, celebrates at a Night Club, Black Order. There in a bathroom, he meets the owner’s, Thanos’ adopted daughter of the night club, Nebula, does he find out the sinister history on how Thanos collects his workers.

Nebula feels forgotten about, and spends her days drunk high and dancing on table tops for scraps of money that only a few bills will end up in her bank account. The rest in her ‘Father’s’ pockets. Asked to work on her birthday, she feels tired of it all and tries to hide in the bathroom for the rest of the night. After mistakenly going into the men’s bathroom, she talks to a faceless voice.

I will admit this really wasn’t what I was expecting as an Idea, but here we are. If I had more energy I would write a whole fic about this, about Rhodey healing from his ex wife’s mental wounds, Nebula finally freeing her sisters from Thanos, Rhodey and Nebula learning that they deserve love, that they find it in one another, but sadly I’m at a writers impasse. Maybe one day though.

It was weekly game night at the Avengers Tower. Typically, the night would be filled with laughter from Thor, bickering between Clint and Tony as Bucky played mediator, Natasha and Pepper cuddling on the couch, and Sam and Sharon tossing popcorn into each other’s mouths. But tonight, most of the team was out. Thor was in Asgard, Clint and Natasha were off on a mission, Pepper was overseas for SI, Sam and Sharon went to go visit Sam’s family, and Bucky and Tony… well Rhodey had no idea where the two of them went off, but he had a few guesses. (Rhodey was pretty sure that Bucky and Tony decided to either have some impromptu romp in the penthouse, went on a date, or took Harley and Peter out to do an escape room.) 

So, that only left Rhodey and Steve; which Rhodey wasn’t really upset about, considering that the two of them were dating and none of the others knew about it yet. 

(Despite the fact that Rhodey and Steve had been dating for almost a year, they enjoyed the privacy they had. They meant to tell the team a few months into their relationship, they really did, but things kept popping up—Avengers calls, paperwork that Fury or Maria insisted be done right away, and emergency meetings—before they words fell out. After about the tenth or fifteenth time (Rhodey and Steve lost track after the fifth try to be honest), they decided they would stop trying to tell them.) 

The two men were sitting on the couch as they played Mario Kart. Steve was currently in first place with Rhodey not that far behind. Rhodey smirked when saw that he had gotten a blue shell. 

“Oh, Steve,” he teased.

Steve’s eyes widen when he saw what Rhodey had. “Babe, don’t you fucking dar—How rude!” he exclaimed as the blue shell hit him. 

“Get wrecked dweeb,” Rhodey cackled. 

“I thought you loved me!” 

Rhodey snorts at Steve’s words. “Relationships don’t exist when it comes to Mario Kart, honey.” 

“RELATIONSHIP?! HONEY?!” Tony screamed as he and Bucky entered the communal floor. 

Steve and Rhodey jumped at the screech. They looked at Tony and Bucky—who both looked surprised (and confused in Bucky’s case)—before looking at each other and then back to Tony and Bucky. 

“Uhh,” Steve said intelligently. 

“Surprise,” Rhodey hesitantly said, giving Tony a sheepish grin.
