Chapter 1: Financial Woes

Chapter Text

Sam, and Steve stood outside of Nick Fury's "grave", and watched Natasha take off in a Lamborghini into the distance. Sam's eyes admired the car jealously. Steve saw the sparkle in his friends eye and couldn't help smiling. His thoughts of the car, and Natasha were interrupted by Sam.

"So you got a plan to track down Barnes? I mean it's not like we've got the Falcon Wings, you've lost your shield, and we haven't got squat for equipment. Plus, we kinda destroyed my car last time we went after him."

"You got any cash?" Steve asked hopefully.

"Not really, I mean I've got some compensation from the military but, shouldn't you have back pay for the past 70 odd years?"

"Well SHIELD is gone so whoosh, there goes my pension. I've got some money saved up but, nothing particularly major." Steve rubbed his neck embarrassed. He had been saving for a house, but property was more expensive than he remembered. Now he felt almost as poor as he had been before the war just from the inflation alone.

"Got any rich friends?" Sam asked.

Steve sighed, he regretted even thinking it. No, it was the worst idea he had ever had but, the only one who could help him was a certain infamous billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Yes, only he could help Steve now.

"Just one, and I don't really know if we are 'friends'.It seems like we will need to book a plane ticket to Stark's house. Whichever one he's living in right now. I know he's got multiple homes."

"Ha, that's easy to find out," Sam grinned.

Steve looked at Sam questioningly puzzled as how they could so easily tell what home Tony was residing in. "Celebrity spotting columns, gossip columns. Tony Stark's strength isn't avoiding cameras, Steve."

"Oh right," Steve smiled, "to the library internet!" he said enthusiastically.

"Or I can check right now, on my phone with wireless 3G?"

"Or you can do that" Steve admitted shyly. Sometimes he forgot that technology had come so far. He doubted his phone paid for by SHIELD would work now. Looks like he would have to beg Tony for one. He sighed deeply. Assuming Stark would even be interested in helping him.
