   Summary

   The headlines are brutal: "Captain America's True Face: Mouthpiece for the Elite." Every news site is tearing Steve apart, and he's just... taking it.

   Tony can't stand it. One press conference, he figures. Clear the air, set the record straight.

   What he doesn't expect is the bomb under the podium. What he doesn't expect is Steve throwing himself between Tony and a sniper's bullet, bleeding out while Tony begs him to stay awake.

   Some truths only surface when you're about to lose everything.

   "I can't lose you, Tony."

   "...Me neither."
