Steve- Hail Hydra

Okay! Voice's excited speech came through the speakers. Before we continue, I'm going to be adding another person.

A portal opened up and a limp form fell from it, landing with a bang on the soft carpeted floor.

"Shit, who is that?" Tony swore, standing up.

"You could've been a little more gentle!" Steve hissed.

He's fine. Voice said dismissively.

Tony hurried over, and the person on the floor groaned and sat up, before jumping up to his feet in shock. Tony put a hand on his shoulder, and the guy jumped, startling away and sticking to the wall.

"The fuck?" Clint breathed.

Tony simply smiled, his face lighting up, and called out, "Pete, it's just me! You can calm down."

The boy jumped down, stepping into the light. Everyone gaped. He was just a kid.

"Thank god, Mr Stark." The boy babbled. "I was just out on patrol and then boom! I passed out and woke up here!"

"Good to see you too, kid." Tony chuckled. "And I told you, call me Tony!"

"Yes, Mr Stark." The boy said, looking entirely too innocent. Tony shot him a playful glare, and led him to the seat next to his.

"Mind explaining who this is, and how you know him, Stark?" Fury said.

Tony smiled. "This is Peter Parker, my intern. And-"

He shot an unreadable glance at Peter. Peter hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"And he's Spiderman."

**********************************************
(Line break cause I'm too lazy rn for the amount of questions the Avengers ask Peter, so pretend that already happened).

"So, let me get this straight, Tony." Steve said. "You hid the fact that your intern is SPIDERMAN for a whole freaking year?!"

"Watch your language, Cap." Tony said cockily. "And yes, I did." His voice held absolutely no regrets.

Steve shook his head, exasperated. "Of course you did."

Okay! Voice said cheerfully. Now that that's done and over with, on with the video!

The aftermath of the Battle of New York was shown. Tony is his Iron Man suit flew above the tower. 
Tony: Alright Cap, I've got our scepter in the elevator just passing the 80th floor.

"This... never happened." Tony said, taken aback. 

"What do you mean?" Fury asked. 

"I mean, it didn't happen!" Tony repeated. 

"If you say so." Fury said, disbelieving.

Steve: On it.
Tony: Head to the lobby.
Steve: Alright, I'll see you there.
Sitwell was on his phone, talking in the elevator Tony mentioned.
Sitwell: Evidence secure, we're in route to Dr List. 

Everyone stiffened at the sight of Sitwell. "Traitorous asshole." Fury hissed. Peter's eyes narrowed- Tony had told him about Sitwell and his betrayal.

Sitwell: No, no hitches at all Mr Secretary.
The elevator doors slowly opened to reveal Steve. Everyone eyed him with hostility. Steve entered the elevator.
Rumlow: I thought you were coordinating search and rescue.
Steve: Change of plan.

Everyone stared at Steve. "No, there wasn't." Nat said. 

"I'm telling you, that never happened!" Steve cried. Tony gestured to him violently as if to say, 'see, he believes me', whilst everyone else stared at them in disbelief. 

Rumlow: Hey Cap.
Steve: Rumlow.
Rumlow's hand goes to his gun and he flicks off the safety. 

Everyone sat forward in their seats, muscles tense. They knew the Hydra agent wouldn't hesitate to kill Cap, and Steve was in a small, enclosed space filled with hostiles. He was greatly outnumbered. He couldn't win, if a fight occurred.

Steve sees Rumlow's movement, and his eyes flick back up.
Steve: I just got a call from the Secretary, I'm gonna be running point on the scepter.
Rumlow's eyes go to the floor. He looks tense, ready to shoot. Sitwell slowly turns around.
Sitwell: Sir, I don't understand.
A huge, heavily frowning guy behind Cap shifts, ready to be able to apprehend him. Steve glances at the guy, then faces Sitwell.
Steve: We got word there may be an attempt to steal it.

"That's not true." Clint said lowly. Steve throws his hands up. "I don't know!" He shouts. "I'm TELLING you, that was. Not. Me!"

Bucky took Steve's hands between his, rubbing soothing circles on his palm. "It's okay, Stevie." He whispered in his ear. "I believe you." Steve's muscles slowly relaxed, and he sank into his boyfriend's embrace.

Rumlow: Sorry Cap. I can't give you the scepter. 

Sitwell: I'm gonna have to call the Director.
Steve looks down, frowning a little.
Steve: That's okay. Trust me.
Sitwell's head shoots up.

"What are you playing, Cap?" Tony muttered.

Steve leans over and whispers in Sitwell's ear.
Steve: Hail Hydra.

The reaction in the room was instantaneous. Everyone shot from their seats, surrounding Steve. 

"Steve?" Bucky's voice was so sad, so desperate, that something broke a little in Steve's heart. "What is this?"

"Bucky, I swear, I promise, this didn't happen, it isn't me, I would never, never, never, never-" Steve's voice went hoarse, his composure slipping to reveal a desperate, terrified man, terrified of losing his love. Tears gathered in his eyes, tears of panic. Bucky looked at him for a moment, seeing every part of Steve, down to his very core, before taking Steve's face in his hands. 

"I believe you, Steve. I know you wouldn't." Bucky's impossibly soft lips collided with his, and Steve melted into his embrace, teeth nipping at Bucky's lower lip. Bucky gave a long, low growl in his throat, when Voice interrupted them. 

Please. No making out in my theater. You can do that another time. 

Bucky directed one of his 'I'm going to find you and kill you later' glares towards the ceiling, but relented, taking Steve into his embrace. The rest of the people who had surrounded them slowly relaxed and went back to their seats. Now that they were thinking straighter, they knew that there was no way Steve would ever help Hydra. 

The video continued.

Everyone looked at Steve, shocked, Sitwell staring at him and Rumlow relaxing and looking towards the ground, pensive. A second later, the elevator opened to show Cap walking out with the case holding the scepter in hand. Once he got far enough away, a slight smirk appeared on his face. The screen went black.

Before anyone had the chance to say anything, Voice spoke up. Now, I'm going to show you what the context behind that scene is. But first, you just need to know this. In the future, there is an... enemy *muffled cursing. STUPID UGLY ASS GRAPE. More muffled cursing*. Tony raised an eyebrow, everyone else looking confused, before Voice continued, sounding slightly embarrassed. We'll be talking about him later.  But, long story short... he won. And Steve, Natasha, Clint, Scott (he's someone you'll meet later), Tony, Thor, Rhodey, Rocket and Nebula (you'll meet them later too) went back in time using a machine invented by Tony. What you just saw was a ruse by Steve to get the scepter, which you need to win.

Everyone looked shocked. "We... lost?" 

When the Voice spoke up next, it's speech was slightly muffled and sad. Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Everyone sat back and processed this information, and the next scene came up on screen.

https://youtu.be/kVcPXzDAu2c

Steve appeared on screen, walking with purpose, speaking into his com. He had the scepter and shield in hand.
Steve: Tony, what's going on?
He glanced back, and continued.
Steve: Tell me you found that cube.

"You're talking about the Tesseract?" Rhodey guessed, glancing at Steve. 

"Yeah, I'd say so." Steve replied, eyes not leaving the screen.

Steve suddenly stopped and looked completely fed up.
Steve: You gotta be shitting me.

Clint and Tony mock-gasped at the same time. "Language, Cap!"

Steve threw his head back and let out a long suffering groan. "You're never gonna let me hear the end of that, are you?"

"Nope!" Clint and Tony replied in unison, grinning at each other and fist bumping.

Past Steve appeared on screen, cowl on. He put a hand to his ear to activate his comm.
Past Steve: I have eyes on Loki. 14th Floor.
Steve slowly put the cast with the scepter down.
Steve: I'm not Loki. And I don't wanna hurt you.
Past Steve charged at Steve without a second thought, their shields clashing. Past Steve swung his leg, and Steve went flying.
Past Steve was panting. 
Past Steve: I can do this all day.
Steve sounded utterly exasperated as he stood back up.
Steve: Yeah, I know, I know.

Everyone burst into laughter, despite the tense scene. "Now you know how frustrating it is!" Bucky exclaimed, chuckling.

The two threw their shields at each other at the same time. They ricocheted against each other, flying off on either side. Past Steve and Steve ran at each other and fought, exchanging punches, Past Steve flipping Steve over his shoulder, Steve jumping back up and kneeing Past Steve in the groin.

"Ouch." Peter winced in sympathy, along with most of the other guys in the room.

The case holding the scepter went flying, crashing right through the glass barrier along the walkway and falling several levels down. The case popped open, sending the scepter flying out. Steve slipped, sending them both crashing over the side of the walkway as they crashed through glass and fell to the last floor, where the scepter lay. They both lay, panting for a moment before Past Steve noticed a picture of Bucky in an old fashioned compass on the ground, lying between them. He picked it up.

(I've decided to change the photo of Peggy to one of Bucky, since Steve and Bucky are a couple in this fic.)

"Aw, Stevie." Bucky said, pulling him over. Steve blushed a little, but cuddled into Bucky's warmth. He felt Bucky's tense muscles relaxed as he did so.

Bruce fiddled with his glasses a few seats over. "I hope you got yourself checked out after that fall." He said anxiously. 

Steve smiled indulgently, but didn't reply. He knew it was unlikely his future self would even think to do so- even now, the team had to remind him to get checked out after battles.

Steve stumbled to his feet.

Past Steve: Where did you get this?
Steve went for the scepter, Past Steve stepping on it to stop Steve from picking it up. Past Steve wrapped his arms round Steve's neck and began to choke him as they both fell backwards. Past Steve tried to reach for the scepter, but failed as Steve struggled in his hold.

"Aw, shit." Peter said as everyone leaned forwards, forcing themselves to relax.

Steve: Bucky... Is... Alive!
Past Steve's hold faltered and loosened as he stared at Steve in shock, as Steve gasped for air.

"Smart." Nat, Clint and Fury commented in creepy synchronization. "Using your own weakness against yourself."

Bucky glared at them all. "I'm not a weakness." 

"No," Nat agreed, "But you're someone Steve loves, and lost- or at least, that's what he thought- and the thought that you might be alive shocked him enough for our Steve to take advantage of the situation, and potentially get the scepter. Or at least not get choked."

Bucky nodded grudgingly. It was logic.

Steve punched past Steve in the face, knocking him back, giving him long enough to roll out of his hold entirely, and grab the scepter. Past Steve tried to stop him, but Steve tapped the scepter to his heart, causing him to pass out. Steve breathed hard, wincing as he got up with the scepter in hand, grabbing his compass. He paused for a second, staring at Past Steve's still form on the ground.
Steve: That is America's Ass.
He walked off.

"Finally!" Sam cried. "You admit it!"

Everyone laughed at Steve's admission and in relief that Steve was okay.

Steve rolled his eyes as Tony giggled- yes, giggled- in absolute delight.
