so morgan stark finds an old flip phone while snooping around and manages to dial the only number on it and poor steve almost gets cardiac arrest thats it thats the headcanon
At first, Steve thinks his hearing is going. But then the nurse points at the side table drawer, saying “Your phone is ringing.”
After that, Steve doesn’t understand where the ringing is coming from because his phone is in his pocket and not the drawer from where the ringing is coming from. He has to dig deep inside, knuckles bumping against who even remembers what before they curl around the source of the ringing and the vibrations.
His brain yells a warning but it’s too late. Steve pulls the phone out and he’s catapulted back to 2016. He’s standing in the middle of a dusty street, at the counter of a small shop that sells these burner phones, loading his number up before he walks down to the post office to drop off this package he’s made for Tony.
Heart racing, Steve stupidly thinks, It’s Tony. Tony’s calling. He flips it open, vision swimming and going hazy when he sees the all too familiar name on the screen. Mouth dry and hands shaking, Steve presses the accept button and hoarsely asks, “Tony?”

What’s in a Word
Summary: Morgan Stark likes learning new words. So when she stumbles upon an unfamiliar title, she’s determined to not just navigate through its millions of definitions but also understand its meaning. Or, the one where all the MCU characters are alive and happy and they discuss their takes on the s-word.

Lila: You know, you’re lucky you don’t have any siblings. They’re an absolute pain.
Cooper: Not like we asked for you, either.
Morgan: What’s a “sibling”?
Nathaniel: *eating an apple while watching his siblings fight* Someone you’re unlucky enough to be in the same family with.

Wanda: *being set down on her feet* This is the third time this week that I had to save myself from bailing you out of jail.
Pietro: *kisses her on the head, grinning* Isn’t that what twins are for?
Morgan: *sitting on the couch* “Twins”?
Wanda: Siblings who came to the world together. And people who stick by your side through thick of thin.
Pietro: Or people you use as a personal form of transportatio—Ow! Wanda!

T’Challa: Bast, help me survive another day of my sister’s antics.
Morgan: You can ask her to stop. Maybe saying “pretty please” will help! It works for me.
T’Challa: *sighs* It makes her happy. Siblings are
cursedgifted with the patience and tolerance with each other, even in the dumbest of things they pull.Shuri: *barges in and dragging T’Challa to her lab* BROTHER, COME! I NEED A VOLUNTEER FOR A HUMAN TEST TRIAL!!

Morgan: Why do you always let her win?
Gamora: *pauses* What do you mean? She beats me fair and square.
Morgan: But Mr. Quill says you “pull your punches”. That’s why it’s always a draw.
Gamora: *smiles* Nebula is a very strong opponent. Her capabilities are of exception. More so, she is my sibling, she is my equal.
Nebula: Another round, sister?
Gamora: Think you can deck me first this time?

[New Asgard]
Thor: And when we were kids, Loki would often disguise himself as a snake to stab me.
Morgan: *gasps* He can do that?!
Thor: *bellows out his laughter* It’s okay, young Stark. Despite all the evil misdeeds he has committed, I believe deep down, there is still good. Being siblings is all about acceptance, after all.
Loki: No matter how much you want to stab them.

Morgan: Are siblings supposed to be blood-related?
Pepper: A sibling is someone you hold special, sweetheart. He can be a brother to protect you or she can be a sister who takes care of you. Either way, you love them with all your heart—
Tony: —blood or not. Like Honeybear *blows a kiss to Rhodey who just shakes his head* over here. Or Auntie Nat to Uncle Clint.
Morgan nods thoughtfully. She perks up and hops down her chair to run around the table to a particular guest on the other side. The other Avengers who were present follows her movement in amusement as she pushes a confused Peter out of his chair and down on one of his knees so they were of the same height. Morgan stands straight in front of him and swiftly drops one hand on his right shoulder first and transfers it over his head to his left one, in a knighting fashion.
Morgan: Alright, Pete, you’re my big brother now.
Peter: *blinks, stunned* O-Okay.
Morgan beams, incandescence rivalling that of three thousand suns, and Peter’s heart bursts. He smiles so wide his cheeks hurt and he picks up his sister off the ground to spin her around. Morgan gleefully squeals in his arms and the way his eyes crinkles gives away how this was the happiest he felt in a long time. The whole room erupts in cheers while Pepper and May huddle to take a photo of what’s got to be the most adorable momentous event they all have witnessed ever.
Bucky: Wasn’t he already tho?
Steve: *elbows Bucky* Let the children have their moment.
Rhodey: *snorts* Tones, are you crying?
Happy: He’s crying.
Tony gallops across the room to engulf both of his kids in a big hug, ignoring the teasing he got from his teammates—no, family.
Tony: If you knuckleheads think I’d just stand there while the two of you got all the spotlight, think again.
Everyone laughs and the siblings giggle. When they were both tucked in his arms, he never felt more at home.
