Chapter Text
Steve doodled without focus in the margins of his meeting notes as he half heartedly listened to Tony explain to Agent Fury that the world's greatest heroes needed more money for lasers. A conversation they had had repeatedly at home that he could not believe Tony was serious about.
"You're a billionaire Stark." He heard Fury sigh. "If your man killing lasers are so damn important fund them yourself."
"A billionaire with expensive kids who doesn't want to fund SHIELD's lasers too." Tony argued.
"Tony..." Steve sighed only to be shot a glare. "Maybe make a prototype first?"
"Ugh fine" Tony threw up his hands in disbelief as Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Next business?" Bruce asked glancing around the room, encouraging the conversation away from lasers.
Steve felt a vibrate in his pocket and apologizing he glanced at his cell phone sighing as he saw that the caller id read "Midtown High" he murmured into Tony's ear as he excused himself from the conference room.
"Rogers." He said answering the call.
"Captain Rogers? This is Principal Morris from Midtown." The man on the other line spoke.
"Is there a problem sir?" Steve said already knowing the answer.
"I have Evangeline down in my office currently, there was a fight and the nurse believes she broke a child's jaw." Principal Morris was direct, gone were the days of him beating around the bush.
"She what?" Steve took a sharp breath through his teeth.
"Broke a boy's jaw. As you can imagine I need to speak with either you or.. Mr. Stark today about this, and she will need to go home."
"Yes of course. I'll be right down." Steve ran a hand through his hair. "Thank you Principal Morris I assure you this will be dealt with."
The principal murmured his thanks as the call ended.
Steve walked back into the room and gathered his papers.
"What happened?" Tony asked turning his attention to his clearly stressed husband.
"Well our oldest broke a boy's jaw." Steve sighed.
"Nope. She's yours now." Tony chuckled as Bucky barked in laughter choking on his drink. "Need me to go down with you?"
"I'm pretty sure they called me for a reason." Steve laughed, "last time you went down there you threatened to sue them."
"Peter deserved an A" Tony shrugged.
"And Laura thinks I'm crazy." Clint murmured.
