"I can send a text message to Natasha to get her on Fury's trail," Steve offers, trying to focus Tony's manic energy into something productive that will hopefully settle him. If something is working in the background maybe he'll let himself settle. "I won't tell her why just that I want to talk to him."

He figures this will stay between them. Steve will have to contact Sam and tell him he's taking a break which Sam has been pushing for him to do anyway. A good long break where he won't actually be relaxing but he'll be with Tony. Usually when he's with Tony he's happier and more relaxed anyway. There is a silver lining.

"And we could go over the details in the file together. Start picking out names and locations." They can work and figure out how to do this work together. Steve's not as good at data analysis as Tony is. He's the guy with battle plans and focus. Tony can take random pieces and make a whole from them.

"We should also order dinner. I am hungry." They were supposed to have a nice dinner that definitely would've ended in sex. They could eat something at the very least. He'd be happy with anything, even old leftovers in the fridge. If they have any. "We'll get it delivered."

They didn't have to leave the penthouse and they didn't have to leave each other that way. Sure, it makes them weird shut-ins but Steve didn't mind that so much. It also meant they might fight again. No, they would definitely clash about this again but at least they were together.
