I'm hardly the target audience for this story, having stopped reading Marvel many years ago and never knowing the Avengers well--but Steve and Tony are deeply fascinating and I'd heard such good things about the way you write them that I wanted to give this a try. I just wanted to explain why my comments will probably be somewhat spotty and clueless. :)
Nonetheless, lines like this:
For a moment, Steve wondered which of the guards it had been. The one who had muttered about "costumed hotshots" when he unlocked Steve's cell? The kid who kept forgetting himself and calling Steve "sir"? The one who had been in front of him on the steps, whom he'd tried to save from the sniper's bullet?
Are fantastic and wonderfully revealing even with my sketchy knowledge. I really like the way you go back and forth between the two POV, it serves as a wonderful sort of primer for the personalities of the two main characters, a chance to get to know them both and get used to them before you reunite them and get the sparks flying.
I'll be back for more reading later! Thank you for writing this!
