Promise Promise

Fill for the Heroic TRB Round 8. In which Steve is trapped in the cold and Tony tries to figure out how to free him.

“You know when I suggested we Netflix and Chill this was not what I had in mind.”

“Tony?” Steve’s voice echoes through his earpiece and Toy tries to push away the part in his brain replaying the little waver in his voice Steve has when he’s about to cry. He shouldn’t be any where near crying because this shouldn’t have happened. He shouldn’t have lost Steve.

He shouldn’t have lost Steve. Especially not in the fucking Tundra, handcuffed and starved and alone. Definitely not alone. Tony closed his eyes and shook his head trying to get the image of ice blue lips out of his mind. That image of cold, still, Captain America still thawing from the forties. His heart was going to break.

“We’re doing everything we can to break you out, okay hon?” Tony promises and he hopes to god he never ever has to promise it again. He switches the piloting over to JARVIS and pulls up a map of the compound. They’ve locked Steve in an underground igloo, handcuffed to something metal and large and too much for Steve to lift. Clint was currently crawling through the air ducts and Natasha was distracting security. Tony was flying around the top of the mountain, using his scanners to try and find the underground cavern that Steve was in. There was a little radio on the table beside Steve and JARVIS had taken that over so Tony could talk to Steve.
