[Black shield and white tank] A line of sea and sky

On the day of the attack, it was a charity dinner.

Steve knew the need for this dinner, although he was still not interested in this kind of social reception under the banner of charity.He didn't like to wear a formal suit, and he didn't like to exchange cups with some hypocritical faces.Being exposed to this kind of atmosphere always reminded him of his past when he acted like a clown in various armies.

A monkey riding a unicycle and holding a flowered umbrella.

"You can't say no to that, you don't want to come across as a popular monopoly."

Tony chose the pattern of the tie for him, and finally chose the blue dots on a black background that gave people a sense of friendship as much as possible, "To win the hearts of the people, but also to unite businessmen. Politics is very expensive, I believe you spend money on it." Dark is a lot of money."

Steve remained silent, looking at the figure in the mirror being manipulated by Tony as a clothes hanger.

"You can have a drink first, it has nothing to do with whether you are drunk or not, just relax a little bit, there is still an hour before the dinner party, enough for you to sort out your mood." Tony looked at the finished product he had made, showing a gratified smile.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Steve tugged at his tie, which choked him.

"Come on, I'll go find you after I change my clothes." Tony comforted, watching the other party out of sight.

Tony doesn't need to reorder suits like Steve did, he can open the closet to find the original Iron Man's dazzling display.

He chose a dark red suit to change into.

He didn't need to be as formal as Steve, and he never was.

After he got everything ready and recalled what he had to remind Steve to say before the dinner started, he walked away.But just as he opened the door and was about to go out, Jarvis stopped him.

"Sir, suspicious people have been detected around Stark." As he spoke, Jarvis quickly played the surveillance video on the TV.

"A lot of suspicious people will come tonight." Tony said as he walked towards the TV.

But apparently Jarvis could tell which were VIPs and security guards and which were not.

There are several small red dots on the screen, and there are about two or three people in each red dot.They were not close to the Stark Tower, and they wore casual clothes that were no different from ordinary people, and they didn't look like they were here for a dinner party.

"They have been changing their specific locations since 23:[-] this morning, but they have not left around the Stark Building." Jarvis reported calmly, "I compared their faces with Hydra soldiers. Unfortunately, no matching profile was found."

Wishbone and the Winter Soldier allegiance to a third party - Zemo's people.

Tony had asked Jarvis to search in detail for information on personnel related to the Civil War. Unexpectedly, after cracking an encrypted folder, Tony discovered this "dead man", and immediately associated him with Wishbone, Winter Bing came to his building to steal things together.

Now it seems that they have started to act, but they don't know how long they will stay dormant.To be honest, Tony didn't think that they would run into this charity dinner, but since they all came——

"Did you find the Winter Soldier and the wishbone?" Although Jarvis had compared the answers of the soldiers inside Hydra, Tony still asked one more question.It stands to reason that as long as Zemo acts, Wishbone and the Winter Soldier must also act.They should not go alone rashly, but take advantage of the chaos to assassinate.

But strangely, Jarvis gave a negative answer.

"I expanded the scope of the search and found no trace of the two people." Jarvis added, "It is preliminarily inferred that the two people's current coordinates do not have a camera device, nor do they have any equipment connected to the Internet."

possible.Wishbones and the Winter Soldier have an intersection with the Stark of this world, and if they decide that Stark and Steve are still allies, they must avoid all of Iron Man's detection systems.

Of course, there is another possibility-that is, Zemo does not actually plan to act tonight. Wishbone and the Winter Soldier have direct contact with Zemo, so it is very likely to know the real time of action of the other party.Their absence meant it was just a sneak peek, and Tony didn't think Zemo was going to make it happen tonight because there were going to be too many innocent people there tonight.

"Continue to monitor, and let me know if you find anything new." Tony ordered Jarvis, turned off the TV screen, and left the room.

But obviously, Tony's self-confidence still took its toll on him.He underestimated Zemo's action and determination, and also underestimated Wishbone's hatred for Steve. The feeling of killing the other party may be sharper than his attitude towards Captain Hydra, so that in Star After Ke thought that the plan was foolproof, there was still a fatal omission in the plan.

The reason why Stark is conceited is not only that the black widow said that he wanted to cover up his inferiority complex that he got less emotion than others, but more importantly, he has always been successful in his own world.He kept slapping people in the face with far-sighted eyes, and even his success and correctness had become a natural inertia, making him think that every time he judged according to his intuition, it was impossible to make mistakes.

It is really impossible to go wrong, and every piece he lays out moves on the board according to his ideas.Captain Hydra fell in love with him and let his guard down.Zemo confirmed the presence of metal stock and armor, and sent troops there.Wishbone and the Winter Soldier were also successfully instigated, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

He set up at least two protective barriers so that he would not be dragged into hell together as Steve said in the painting while killing the opponent.

It's just that he ignored the uncontrollability of human nature, and it's not just those man-made chess pieces that are uncontrollable, but also himself.He's not a god, he's still human after all.He just forcibly blocked the humanity in his body, making him as cold-blooded and ruthless as steel.

But he couldn't do it after all.Even if he really wanted to kill Steve, he still couldn't ignore the little bit of dangerous emotion that was sprouting inside him.Those emotions made him realize that the farewell was approaching, made him sad and hated this sadness, so he had to use intense sensory stimulation to suppress that secret emotion, and indulge himself in the psychedelic world of cigarettes and alcohol, flesh and smell. between.

After the dinner officially started, Tony didn't stop drinking.After finishing his opening speech with Steve, he stepped into the wine pool and meat forest seemingly impatiently.

He didn't want to be around Steve for a second longer, that entanglement of anticipation and fear would consume him.

For a long time after losing his own Steve, Tony used this method to relieve himself.People around him saw his indifference and cynicism, and even Pepa, who knew him well, harshly commented on his indifference to Steve's death.

"You don't have a heart, Stark, you don't have a heart." When Pepa pushed open the door and saw Tony hugging left and right, she slammed the bedroom door angrily.

Tony's head was not so clear during those days, he was either asleep or drunk.He joked with the people around him presumptuously, and brought all kinds of people to bed presumptuously.

He couldn't hear the advice of his former friends, and those friends also believed that he could easily get through the sad period. After all, he was Tony Stark, and no one's departure could affect Stark's rotten life. .

But he is afraid.He knew that the hole in his chest was expanding infinitely.

His reactor doesn't work, it's always not bright enough as if it's out of power.He was afraid of being alone in an empty mansion, of darker waters at the door.Fearing that the silence and darkness would make him deaf and blind, he might drown in this vast silence.

He wants a loud voice, a loud noise.He wants someone to enter or enter someone else's body, he wants to feel a certain kind of warmth, he wants to remind himself with intense pleasure that he is still alive, and he has to live well.

He survived in the end, and when his heart was almost stained by darkness, he stood up tenaciously.He ignored the guilt, ignored the sadness, and when he opened his eyes that day, he felt the power of forgetting.At that moment, he finally understood that all the pain was experience.When he walks through the narrowest time with blood, he can have a broad prospect again.

He was flying toward the future like a lone ranger. He was going faster than before losing Steve.He will not look back, will not let anyone important enough to make him fall into the abyss, will not pull his thorns out to allow any arms to embrace him.

Because only he knows how terrible the pain of loss is.There was no way he could survive that kind of heart-piercing pain for a second time.

"Tony, you drank a lot." At some point, Steve had come to him.

Tony's entire body was almost attached to a beautiful man beside him. The man smelled very charming, and he had brown hair and gray eyes.He's not like Steve, so it's safe.

Steve took the wine glass from Tony's hand without any explanation, and Tony took the other's glass from the man's hand and took a provocative sip.

"Don't spoil the atmosphere, Steve...don't spoil it." Tony said, pushing Steve lightly, "Everyone is here because of you, you shouldn't spoil the fun."

Captain Hydra's face was grim, but he didn't have a seizure.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Tony." The man put his arms around Stark, who was already blushing, and exchanged a polite smile with Steve.

It's not your turn to take care of Tony yet.Steve narrowed his eyes slightly, chuckling inwardly.

But this was indeed his dinner party, and he shouldn't spoil the atmosphere, so he frowned slightly, nodded to the other party, and sat where Tony couldn't see.

Steve doesn't like Tony being close to other people, even though he can understand that sometimes it's just a physical need.But he hated the smell of someone else on Tony, and he hated it before he got his own Stark.

At that time, he didn't know it was jealousy, he thought it was just dislike of Tony's way of life.He thinks that yin///is messy, dirty, obscene, and unsightly.So try to stay away from the other party, rather than seeing it.

But actually he can't.

Tony is like a shining star, with a light that cannot be ignored.Even though he is hypocritical and dissolute, irresponsible and self-righteous, it is precisely because of his amazing wisdom and wealth that he can support his self-confidence.

It wasn't until Tony and himself had ///ai in a hotel room for the first time that Steve suddenly realized that the reason he resisted accepting Tony was because he didn't want to look directly at this terrible and sinful attraction .

At that time, they were going on a mission to Iran to investigate a case of theft of biochemical drugs.They just settled in this hotel temporarily, and just 10 minutes ago, several Avengers discussed the investigation plan together in this room.

Steve stayed after everyone left, and he just wanted Tony to use Jarvis to list a few suspicious coordinates.He doesn't think much of Tony, and he's sitting on the edge of the bed because he's always been sitting there.

But he was possessed after all.He didn't know what Tony's approaching face was talking about, all he could see were caramel eyes that sparkled.He didn't know why Tony showed him the watch one moment, and then stuffed an inexplicable small instrument into his hand.The only thing I could feel was the heat brought by Iron Man's flesh when I accidentally touched it.

He smelled Tony's perfume, which he was already familiar with.He could even tell that this time there was no engine oil in the perfume, only a little bit of Tony's own sweat, a little bit of the faint scent of shampoo and shower gel.

There are so many different smells, I don't know how to tell them apart.His sensory threshold magnified infinitely, until he came back to his senses, and stupidly almost touched Tony's lips.

However, it was a little bit worse.That's right, he didn't touch it.Tony pushed him away abruptly as he scrambled towards him.Tony's expression was surprised, he couldn't understand why Steve could behave like this when he was discussing the task so seriously.

This is very unSteve, very unCaptain America.

But this is very Tony, very Stark.So after a moment of stalemate, they stepped into the minefield for the first time in a hysterical manner.

He remembered Tony's movement of unbuttoning his clothes one by one, Tony's tight and soft mouth, Tony's itchy kiss with stubble, and the way Tony opened himself up.

Things got out of hand, but Steve didn't want to turn back.He seemed to see a ray of light come through the crack in the door, and then he opened one door and another.

They do ///ai in the bedroom, ///ai in the restaurant, ///ai in the cinema, and release their inner hunger, thirst and greed anywhere they want.When they calmed down, they could fight each other, but it never developed into a war.

They can always use crazy sex///love to make up for the mutual harm when reason occupies the brain, so that when they really hurt to an irreversible step, they forget that the relationship between them has gone farther and farther, far beyond Sex, blended into each other's lives.

It was also at that time that Steve realized that it wasn't that he didn't accept Tony's profligacy and initiative, but that he wanted to take all of this arrogance as his own.

Sex is the beginning, love is the whole.

Steve realized that what he understood was not only the sensitive points of the other party, but also Iron Man's fragility, sensitivity, and minefield of life.He knew too much, got too deep, they fought side by side for too long, their relationship was entangled.

He thinks Tony may have been aware of this when he recorded the hologram.Tony also realized that Steve and his life had been merged together, so he wanted to save this relationship and restore even the slightest acquaintance and companionship between them.

It's a pity that Steve realized it too late.Tony was always going too fast, and he tried his best to catch a cold corpse.

He dared not grieve, grief would depress him.He must face setbacks with a positive attitude, so that it is possible to find a way to turn things around.Even if what he hopes most is that Tony voluntarily and personally tells him that he will stay, instead of forcing the other party to submit by the current means.

And the Tony in front of him, while magnifying all the light, also magnified all the evil.He doesn't even know what restraint is, and he doesn't care what Steve thinks.He clearly knew that he liked him, but he didn't mind spending a few hours peacefully with him, and after asking for a painting from himself ambiguously, he flirted with the people around him with flirty words and actions.

He's so self-righteous, yet he's so radiant.

He was supposed to be a substitute, but now, he has become the only authentic one.

The burgundy suit was darker than the color in his wine glass, like blood tumbling in the abyss.His eyes have a few deep crow's feet when he smiles, but that only adds to their mature charm.His stubble is so perfectly trimmed that Steve will never know how much time he spends on grooming himself each day.

But he took care of it so well, he knew he was on the verge of hell, but how could he act like he was not afraid of anything.

Just like when he decided to only regard Stark as an ally at the beginning, but inexplicably became a gangster and eventually a lover, Steve also only wanted to regard the iron man in another world as a real and palpable image at the beginning, and polish him into a Tony's own shape, but he's still out of control.

He fell in love with this crazy person, and he didn't want to travel through the hole of time and space to replace it with someone who looked the same. He just wanted the one in front of him, only this one.

After the clock passed twelve o'clock, the crowd began to turn into beasts.Under the influence of alcohol, desire is more and more exposed from under the mask.

Tony kissed a few people, and the man in his arms was replaced by a woman.But Steve wraps his arms around him just in time, wraps his arms around his shoulders, and pushes the elevator door open, sending him back to his bedroom before he's drunk enough to pass out.
