Your hands ceased to shake as you watched Tony and Rhodey take down Ivan from the TV. You let out a sigh of relief and set your cup of coffee down. Just as you reached your phone to call Rhodey the sounds of bombs going off echoed throughout the night. You could see the explosions from afar, seeing as you lived further away from the city. The shaking in your hands returned and your throat began tightening up. Tears pooled your eyes as you shakily grabbed your phone and punched in the password. 

You quickly clicked on Rhodey's contact and lifted the phone to your ear.

"Hey, this is Rhodey. I'm busy right now, leave a message call me back later." You let out a sob and turned off the phone.

Maybe he's fine. I just need to wait. You ran your hand through your hair and sat down on your couch.

Minutes passed and still no sign of Rhodey. You grabbed your phone again, ready to call Tony. As the phone began ringing you heard something outside. It sounded like a jet landing but you weren't too sure. When you looked out of the window, temporarily forgetting the phone you gasped. You didn't even bother putting on shoes before bolting through the door. He had barely even gotten out of the suit by the time you tackled him in a tight hug, tears pouring out of your eyes. 

"Nh, Don't be so rough!" He choked out, trying to pull you off of him.

"James Rhodes don't you EVER do that again!" You backed away, only to smack him in the face.

"Got it. Never again." He rubbed the now sore spot on his face.

"God, I feel like my head is going to explode. What were you thinking?! You could have died!" You wiped away stray tears and crossed your arms.

"Well, technically I was only there because the suit got taken over-"

"No. Don't get all technical with me. Come inside." You pointed to the house and he sighed.

When you practically pulled him onto the couch and told him to sit he obliged. He sunk himself onto the couch as you came back to the room with a damp rag and an icepack in hand. When you sat next to him you sighed, shaking your head.

"I'm sorry," Rhodey peeked over at you. "I didn't mean to hit you. Well- I did. But I feel bad about it. I know you were just being a hero but it freaked me out." You opened your arms for a hug and Rhodey pulled you into him.

"It's alright. I know you were just scared." Your arms tightened around his torso and you tucked your head into the crook of his neck. When you pulled away from the embrace you handed him the icepack and wiped away some dry blood from his arm off with the damp cloth.

"I love you." You kissed his cheek. He pulled you in for a kiss on the lips and pulled back with a grin.

"I know."
