This chapter is a request by ZosiaOfAsgard and I greatly apologise for how long it's taken.

Ships: IronStrange, BlackPepper, Thoruce, and HawkSilver

Warnings: Swearing, a verbally abusive ex-husband (body shaming, defamation, rumour making, etc.), murdering by words, Steve being an asshole.

—————————

Stephen Stark-Strange wouldn't consider himself a jealous husband. Not over his husband's cheating, lying, family destroying ex-husband, at least. Instead, the sorcerer felt something more akin to disgusted fury every time he thought of Steve Rogers.

The nerve Steve had to act as if he were some important god walking the earth, after all that he'd put Tony through during their divorce, made Stephan want to remove his kneecaps. Slowly.

But as long and Steve kept his mouth shut when he and the others returned to the tower later that day, Stephan wouldn't start a fight.

Peter, however, was a different story.

Peter Stark-Strange still hadn't forgiven his original adopted father - who's name and any legal guardianship had been stripped from Peter almost immediately following Tony and Steve's divorce.

Of course, Steve hadn't thought about his ex-adopted son in the slightest since then, but Peter didn't care about that. Peter only truely cared about the disgusting way Steve constantly treated his father.

"I'm going to fucking murder him, then convince Loki to revive him so that I can murder him a second time." Peter snarled, almost shaking with rage as they waited in the large open lounge room.

Tony was nervously chatting away with Vision, Thor and his fiancé, Bruce, while Loki, Stephen, Pepper, and Nat silently agreed with Peter.

"You'll get used to it, kid. We all will, I hope." Stephen replied soothingly to his stepson, eying the elevators.

Before anyone could say another word, Friday spoke up. "Just as a warning, the Rouge Avengers are entering the ground floor. They will be exiting the elevator in approximately 23.7 seconds."

"Thank you, Friday." The group mumbled, subconsciously pressing closed to make an unmovable, stoic barrier. The Rouges would only be allowed further into the tower if they apologised - being escorted off of the premises if not.

Just as the AI had estimated, it took exactly 23.7 seconds for the elevator doors to open, revealing the silent group of Rouges - most of which looked ashamed and sorrowful.

Steve did not.

It was awkward, to say the least. The Rouges slowly entered the lounge room, making a line facing up Team Ironman as they stood merely a metre away.

Clint was the first one to speak up, the comforting hand of his boyfriend (Pietro) places lightly on his shoulder. "Hey, Nat, Tony, Peter... you guys."

"I... I'm so sorry." Bucky proclaimed, looking down - too ashamed to meet their eyes. "There's nothing I can say or do to make this better. I'm just so sor-"

"Don't worry about it, Mr Barnes." Peter interrupted, smiling pleasantly at the Winter Soldier. "We all know you were being controlled by HYDRA - none of us blame you for those actions."

Tony, Pepper, Nat, Stephen, Vision, Bruce, Thor, and Loki nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing with the teenager's words.

This set of a chain of apologies from Clint, Pietro, Wanda, and even the newly approved upon Sam - all of whom were forgiven.

Steve, however, still did not see why he had to apologise, saying as such. This result in a dark glare from Bucky, and angered filled deadpanned stared from the others. "Ugh, fine! I'm sorry."

This apology was clearly not what anyone wanted to hear, as each superhero (and Pepper) sent Captain America a sour look.

Nobody spoke up to except his apology, Stephen simply moving along to inform the Rouges of their new sleep arrangements.

Steve, Bucky, and Sam has been given rooms as far away from Tony, Stephen, and Peter's rooms as possible, while the others kept their original rooms. Bucky and Sam didn't care, thankful for the expensively furnished rooms.

Steve, on the other hand, was not happy.

"Why am I no longer in the main bedroom with Tony?" Steve hissed, looking around at the uncomfortable heroes around him.

Stephen huffed, biting his tongue as to not verbally attack Captain America. "Because Tony is MY husband - NOT yours."

Steve scoffed, rolling his eyes but didn't say another word.

This was not going to end well.

——————

Stephen and Peter walked into the training room the next day, the latter laughing at a joke that his stepfather had just finished telling. Spider-Man and the sorcerer got along extremely well, with Peter considering Stephan as his second father. This had made Tony extremely happy, and had been the tipping point which brought on their relatively quick engagement.

Anyway, the moment that the two walked through the doors, Steve and the group of clearly uncomfortable present Avengers (Bucky, Clint, Bruce, and Vision) fell silent.

Peter and Stephen had clearly interrupted a conversation - one that wasn't good, according to their expressions.

The duo frowned at the group before leaving the hospital training room - heading straight to a conference room a few hallways over. Something was up, and they needed to know that that something wouldn't hurt Tony.

"Friday, what has Steve been saying about Tony?" Stephan asked the AI, getting an immediate response.

"Well, to start with he said 'Tony's a little lying bitch who needs realise his place', then 'It's a wonder that Tony isn't dead yet. If I were a villain, I'd kill him first!' Oh, then..."

The list continued, making the duo more furious with each jab.

In that one afternoon after his arrival, Steve had made 47 snide comments about Tony, 29 about Stephan, and 16 about Peter.

This REALLY wouldn't end well.

——————

Stephan and Peter held in their anger quite well that night - but that did not stop the breaking point that occurred at breakfast the next morning.

"Have you thought about cutting out a couple, I don't know... THOUSAND calories, Tony? You really could loose the weight." Steve announced loudly, eyeing the donut In his ex-husband's hand.

The room fell silent, all eyes turning towards Steve and Tony. The billionaire's face fell and his cheeks reddened in shame, causing Tony to subconsciously put down the donut.

This was the breaking point for both Peter and Stephen, the prior of which attempted to jump across the table - only stopping as he was held back by Bucky and Thor.

"You know what?!" Stephen shouted, slamming his fists into the table. "Fuck you, Rogers! How fucking dare you speak to MY husband like that in OUR home!"

Steve rolled his eyes, attempting to speak up but was interrupted quickly. "This isn't your home, you greedy gold digger. Plus, Tony needs to loose the weight, look at-"

A loud smashing filled the room as a glass cup hit the wall right behind Steve's head, being yeeted by the furious teenager.

"Steve!" Bucky shouted, glaring at his best friend. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Man?!"

Steve glared at Bucky, turning back to the clearly fuming Stephen and Peter duo.

"Shit the fuck up you.. you... IDIOTIC ASS CAPTAIN BIIIIIIITCH!" Peter snarled, pushing away the god and Winter Soldier.

"YEAH, YOU BITCH ASS AMERICAN THOT GOBLIN!" Stephan screamed, looking ready to kill Captain America.

"DUMB AS FUCK BITCH WARD!"

"YOU CREEPY SLIMY DISGUSTING LITTLE PRICK!"

"AGGRESSIVE DOG LOOKING BASTARD!"

"LYING UGLY FUCKER!"

"IDIOTIC, CRUEL EAR BLEED MAKING ASSHOLE!"

The list continued, with Steve gapping in shock while the other people present laughed hysterically.

After nearly two hours of scathing, brutal insults to every part of Steve - Peter and Stephen finally felt that justice had been served.

Having no clue what to do, or how to respond, Steve said the first thing that came to mind. "Language...?"
