At the door of Stark Tower

He doesn't really have a phone anymore, at least not one that isn't a burner on the end of it's life, and that phone never had the number he needed in it, so he didn't call ahead. Instead, he's just there, heading for the front desk to see if perhaps, just maybe, he has a friend here. Or at least an ally.

"Steve Rogers for Tony Stark, please?"

"Well, we can't all be super-geniuses."

Tony refrains from giving Steve a friendly thump on the shoulder as the elevator comes to a stop, merely gesturing for him to follow out into his penthouse.

"Okay, so, this floor is totally secure these days," he comments as he heads behind the bar. "Just so you know. Did a complete refit during repairs, you know, about the time Fury chatted me up for some shiny new Starktech for those flying fortresses of his."

Okay, Tony just has to give him a Look.

"Really Steve, this is me we're talking about, you think I'd let them have any backdoor I didn't already know about? Of course it is."

He gestures to a barstool, pours himself a couple fingers of whiskey, and something a little... stronger. For Steve.

"Give that a try. Me and Bruce distilled it ourselves."

"Oh, he's doing great! Yeah, you'll probably see him around sometime, even though I refitted an entire floor for him. Maybe you can pop in and say hi."

Tony sets the bottle (okay, okay, repurposed flask, complete with masking tape and Bruce's handwriting in green sharpie, because he has a sense of humour) next to Steve's glass.

"How's a bed sound?" Tony offers instead, because yeah, Steve sounds beat.

"I kinda figured," Tony said, grin turning wry. "You want another drink, or...?"

Tony takes a sip of his drink, and licks his lips before answering.

"Enough. I know enough."

"Having a drink?" No, he can't help himself.

Oops. Tony hadn't meant to actually piss Steve off, just... poke him a little.

"Your BFF from back in the day, right?" he asks. Only he's not stupid, farthest thing from it, and the way Steve reacted... "Except there's something more going on, I'm guessing, than a trip down memory lane."

Aaaaaand that needed a replay.

"Hold on a sec, are you saying he's still alive? Because I could've sworn you were the only successful super-soldier type to come out of that whole mess."

Tony takes another sip of his drink, and raises an eyebrow at Steve. Because, really?

"Well... fuck." Tony takes the file though, and starts leafing through it.

Well it is pretty high proof; Tony and Bruce made it special for Steve.

Tony's own drink is forgotten for a while, as he works his way through the file. It's. Bad. And the little wrinkle of concentration between his eyes from reading handwritten Russian slowly morphs into a frown line, until he has to put the file down, and knock back the rest of his drink in one go. And then pour himself another, fuck.

He knocks the second drink back, and runs a hand through his hair, before turning the page. It's horrible, and fascinating, all at the same time.

"Yeah," Tony replies after a moment for his brain to parse English again. "Yeah, I'm getting it. Fuck. They seriously fucked him up, Steve. Big time." He shakes his head, and resists the urge to pour himself a third drink, even though he thinks he deserves it for wading through the Winter Soldier file.
