“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.”

Tony, Steve, Clint and Bruce spend quality time together in a cave. Tony does not build another arc reactor (even if he sort of needs one). Steve is all Protective Leader. Clint is terrifyingly good with a knife. Bruce bleeds and snarks. There is banter and embarrassing amounts of schmoop and the boys get very touchy-feely.
