Cap dresses down IM for not following orders...gets proven wrong

[ladyhatshepsut.livejournal.com]

I've had this in my head for the last several days and can't figure out what story it's from. Is this familiar to anyone? The team is out on a city (NY?) street fighting the bad guys of the day and Iron Man goes out of position with no warning. I think he covers Natasha or plucks her up off the sidewalk, just before a huge explosion. Someone may have been hurt. Cap lays into Tony, putting the blame of any injuries on him and refusing to listen to anything Tony has to say in explanation. Stark spends the next few days setting up his own version of a holodeck, going over and over the scenario, trying to figure out what went wrong or what could have been done better. I think it was something about a whole building falling on part of the team, killing them, if Tony hadn't acted in that split second.

Thanks, luv. but this story is the answer of another one of my recent searches, where a team member starts reading minds and "hears" how quickly Tony sees and assesses everything during battles. The story I'm looking for here has Stark in his lab going over and over the situation that was almost fatal, getting every detail of the street or alley right and the exact force of the explosion, either how it was or how strong it could have been if he hadn't acted. I recall that the "holo" street was totally destroyed.

Thanks again for the old search answer and I recommend it to all as a good read.

I don’t know the name of the story but I remember it was Clint who gained mind reading and that’s how he knew Tony was calculating probability odds quickly in his head. Maybe that will help you find it in the tags.

I think you are looking for "I love you, do you not love me in return?" by Tiffany F. https://archiveofourown.org/works/922046/chapters/1791076

It's a Coulson cheats on Hawkeye with Captain America and Tony takes care of everybody story. It's still a WIP, but there's about 110 chapters. I think the scene you described is about chapter 55 or so.
