Life in Brooklyn

Chapter 14

The AI actually scoffed too. It was like a person, acted like one and treated others like he is.
"Tony-"
"Steve! Please! Just go!"
"Talk to me! Please!" He grabbed both of his arms and pinned him against the wall.
"Why don't you talk to me?!" He shouted right in his face.
"What do you mean?"
"I can tell something isn't okay. You woke up one morning panting, you wouldn't stop looking at your hands and you don't talk to me about the war!" Steve loosened his grip. "You blew up a school! Your camp was attacked! Your friends died!"
Steve let go and backed up. "How do you know about that?" He asked quietly, but when he didn't get an answer he shouted. "How do you know about it?!" He took one step forward.
"I-Bruce, Rhodes- I- we-"
"Tony!!!"
"I saw your file." He looked at the floor.
Steve took a few steps back again. "I can't- how did you get it?" His eyes were wide and he felt betrayed, so so betrayed. "We opened it."
"You just opened it? Just like that? And what do you mean 'we'?"
"Were good with computers ok, and bruce Rhodes and I." Steve shook his head and walked away. "Steve, wait. I-"
"You what tony? You went through my personal file, without even telling me!"
"Steve I'm-"
"Dont. Just- bye." And he stormed out of the mansion.
He met Bruce and Rhodes outside. "Is he ok?"
"What happened?"
Steve shook his head and avoided eye contact. He felt like both crying and yelling and punching something.
"Steve?"
"Stay away from me." He growled and ran back to his place. Literally ran.
They both stood there awkwardly before heading inside his mansion.
They found tony on the floor in the doorway of his bedroom, unconscious, and a weak pulse.

They both stood there awkwardly before heading inside his mansion.
They found tony on the floor in the doorway of his bedroom, unconscious, and a weak pulse.
"What?!" All three of them shouted.
"I'm not going to ask again. Put your hands on your head and get on the floor." He raised his eyebrows.
"I never tried to hurt tony!"
"Get on the floor and put your hands on your head!" He shouted, which caught the attention of more people in the building as they opened their doors and peeked outside.
"But I didn't- ARGH!" One of the cops pulled out a tazer and tazed him after he didn't listen. Bucky was on the floor with a hand on his shoulder as his body jerked a few more times.
The cops tried pushing him away but he ripped his arm from their grasp and stayed there. Natasha had to pull Bucky back herself so he didn't get arrested too.
Steve was still conscious, but him limbs felt weak. He was in his stomach and watched Bucky being pulled into his apartment by Natasha as they cuffed him and dragged him to a standing position.
He groaned and took some steps here and there but the cops were actually supporting most of his weight.
He saw his neighbours standing outside and watching him being dragged away. Hands covering their mouths and whispers being heard. 'I never tried to hurt him' steve kept thinking.
Bucky watched steve being pushed into the back of a cop car from a window at the end of the hallway and then drove away. "Steve never- he wouldn't- no way-"
