Chapter Text
Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Sam, and the ever-lovable Tony Stark are sitting around the living area at Stark Tower in New York. They are more or less giving Bucky and Sam the run-down involving the Chitauri when Tony goes off on a rant about Thor’s involvement on earth.
"Like I was saying sweetie," Tony manages between angry sighs, "I think God Point Break should leave us alone, besides he doesn’t even li-"
That’s the exact moment Thor appears in the doorway. Tony is the only one who doesn’t notice.
"I believe I heard you referring to me," the golden-haired giant interrupted.
Tony almost continues his statement that “he doesn’t even live here on this planet” when Steve interrupts.
"Tony was just saying that you have your own things to deal with, and, uhh…" Steve tries to recover for his friend when he realizes he’s at a loss for words. He looks at Sam for support, who just shrugs.
Tony is indignant, but only slightly. He simply says, “No I wasn’t.”
Bucky, Natasha, and Sam look on amused as Steve looks back and forth between Tony, the insulter; Thor, the insulted; and Sam, the wingman who’s supposed to be there for help. An awkward silence grows between Steve and, well, himself.
About a minute into the awkward silence Bucky’s stomach growls and he sighs. He breaks the silence, saying, “I’d give my left arm for a burger.”
Everyone looks at Bucky. Sam looks at him, thoroughly concerned. Natasha is slightly stunned that he spoke at all (he likes to keep quiet), Tony just stares at him in a shocked and silent manner, and Thor looks simply confused as he stares at the man with the metal arm.
Steve takes one look at everyone before looking at Bucky. He snorts once, loud and sonorous, and then starts laughing raucously until he cries and his abs hurt. Which is a long time. By five minutes into the laughing fit, everyone is laughing, all insults forgotten. They realize they’re all pretty hungry.
Tony buys burgers for everyone.
