A security team is hired to protect the staff and the artifacts they find, and Tony comes face to face with Steve Rogers all over again– except Steve is bearded and BIGGER and way more dangerous than he used to be...And Tony likes it.When the camp is attacked, Steve jumps into action, snatching Tony and running into the jungle to escape and work their way towards safety.But long days and nights together bring back old feelings, and one day Steve takes a risk and asks Tony to give them another chance.Will Tony say yes?

Every summer, she runs the excavations at L'Arche with her infuriating co-leader, lead archaeologist Dr. Bellamy Blake. They've been at each other's throats for years, and the 2015 field season looks like it's going to be one of their most combative yet, thanks to some things that changed the year before. Clarke is ready work hard for the success of the dig and ready to fight him at every turn if she must. But Bellamy is tired of fighting.

Archaeology was bollocks already and they weren’t even in the cave yet.
