“Mr. Stark? I, uh, I'm still not entirely sure how to do this, but the gentleman told me to leave a message, so I guess...” A sigh rattled over the phone line. “Look, Tony, I'm going to level with you – they told me I had one phone call, and you... you're the first person that popped into my head. So, yeah, I, uh... I've sort of been arrested, and I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I – if it's not too much trouble, that is – could really use some help, if you... you know what? It doesn't matter. Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Stark.”

"What? Am I talking to a wall? I got hit by a hitchhiker."
Having just broken up with Pepper, Tony is driving to California on Christmas Eve. When he picks up a hitchhiker, he hardly expects him to be the former Captain America, defrosted and on the run from SHIELD.

Steve didn't like Tony Stark.
Stark probably didn't like Steve, either. They'd gotten off on the wrong foot, and that was putting it mildly.
And having to pretend to be a civilian Stark was dating, as cover for trying to save Stark's life while Iron Man was busy with a SHIELD mission, obviously wasn't going to help.

Tensile strength is the resistance of a material to breaking under pressure. Spider web has a greater tensile strength than steel.
But everything has its limits. And between Spiderman, the SAT's, and dealing with the fallout from the soul stone, Peter has run smack into his. Cue Tony's shitty immune system and the fact that he maaaaybe hasn't told Peter yet that he and Steve are a thing, and we have ourselves a party.

“I tire of this,” Amora says, and with a casual gesture the entire team is pinned in place, frozen in mid-air. Steve has the unsettling, half-familiar feeling of someone rifling through his head like it’s a card catalogue. A mind-reader as well as a witch, then.
A female voice whispers into his mind’s ear. It’s very tragic in here, dearheart, but I think your armored friend is, somehow, more psychically toxic than even you.
What’s wrong with Tony? Steve thinks, but the presence is gone, leaving his memories of war stirred up like flying insects rising off a lake in at dawn.
The Enchantress opens Tony's mind to anyone and everyone near him. Steve knows he should let Tony keep his secrets, but he's not noble enough to stay away.
