After the intense moment between Tony, Bucky, and Y/N, the three of them tried to move on and focus on the mission at hand. But the tension between Tony and Bucky had been building for weeks, like a slow-burning fire waiting to ignite.

Tony couldn't shake off the feeling that Bucky was trying to replace him in Y/N's life, and Bucky resented Tony's constant scrutiny and criticism. The two alpha males had been dancing around their issues, but the underlying rivalry and insecurity were simmering just below the surface.

As they worked together on the mission, tiny sparks of frustration and annoyance kept flying back and forth between them. Finally, one careless comment from Tony about Bucky's past mistakes was all it took to ignite the explosive argument.

In that moment, all their pent-up emotions and insecurities came pouring out, with Y/N caught in the middle, trying to mediate and assert their own feelings and needs. The situation was a ticking time bomb, waiting to detonate and change the dynamics between the three of them forever.
