Mutual Healing Shipping Meme

Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself. People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached... ...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing. They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them. Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours? Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups.

[ He is stubborn but not stupid, so depending on who he may not fight too hard. ]

Tony winces as as takes the armors helmet off. Getting tag teamed by two super soldiers was not fun even with metal surrounding you. He glances over at Steve nervously. "Hey Captain," he says softly, "you doing okay over there?"

Steve didn't move for a long time for two reasons: One, he didn't know if he could, and two he didn't know if he wanted to. "Fucking repulsors," He muttered as rolled over with a loud groan. He took a deep breath in, and glanced over at Tony.

"Are you okay?"

"I just got my ass handed to me by not one but two super soldiers," Tony says, "I'm amazed I'm even awake right now. Friday is running a check, but I think moving is out of the question." He winces as he tries said moving. "Dammit Steve did you have to let Barnes kick me."

Bucky is sitting in medical and feels like he's about to shake apart, they had fought Steve's friends, his new friends, or some of them anyway, all because of him.

Things where over and settling down, Ross was uncovered for the fuck wit that he is and always has been, though beating the crap out of Tony had been kind of hard...

They where trying to patch things up, but Barton and Steve's friend Phil wanted to make sure Bucky didn't have any traps in his mind, so here he is about the crawl out of his skin and start climbing walls in medical.
