Do Steve and Bucky find out about all the things Obadiah told Tony about omegas?
Yes, they do! They find Sarah crying her eyes out and theyâre horrified so they ask what happened because Sarah doesnât cry unless itâs something really bad. They wonder why Tony had betas actively guarding his door during his heat (because when Sarah went into heat she just relaxed in her room, no guarding necessary), and she has always tried to avoid lying to her sons. So she has them sit down because if they stand they might fall. And then she halting tells them what Tony had told her, trying to keep the more personal bits to herself:
Tony believes that the scent of his heat is an invitation and he should hide himself from everyone. If he is smelled and someone forces themselves on him, it is his fault for not being more careful.(Steve and Bucky are horrified. No wonder Tony looked so frightened after they decided theyâd wait until he was more comfortable with them physically. If theyâd said yes, at least he would have been with alphas that liked him. And to think heâd feel it was his fault if he was attacked? Sickening.)
Sex is going to hurt. Always. Omegas were meant to handle pain; thatâs why they give birth. Itâs also meant to keep omegas submissive. If an alpha is being gentle to keep from hurting you, it means youâre not pleasuring them properly.(âWhat the fuck,â Bucky whispers, clutching his chest, because heâd fooled around with a few omegas before he and Steve married and he never wanted them to hurt. Steve puts his head between his knees and just breathes because heâs torn between rage and the want to cry.)
Wanting sex outside of a heat makes you a slut. Omegas were meant to be bred for heirs. If an alpha wants sex out of heat, thatâs his/her right. An omega wanting sex out of heat is disgusting and indicative that theyâll bend over for anyone.(âWhat the fuck,â Bucky whispers again. âOh my God,â Steve wheezes, because thisâthis poor omega, he thinks heâs only there to be a fuckingâfucking broodmare. And thatâs certainly not the case, Tony is an interesting person; to think that someone would consider him less or for nothing more than popping out kids makes him angry.)
Omegas donât orgasm because theyâre only for breeding.(âThatâs not even true!â Bucky cries, and then covers his face and takes a deep breath. Steve reaches out to touch his shoulder but Bucky just jerks away, needing a moment to gather himself.)
Omegas that masturbate are not good omegas. Their bodies belong to their alphas. Omegas are property.(âHeâs notâfucking chattel,â Steve snarls, because Tonyâs not, heâs a person, he gets a say in what he gets to do to his body. Bucky takes another deep breath.)
Omegas are meant to bend over for the alphas at all times.(âNo, no, no,â Bucky whispers, horrified. âWhy,â Steve says, angry, then growls. âWho would. Why would they make him think. Heâs a person.â)
Omegas are trophies. Having hobbies and interests that arenât reading or needlepoint is frowned upon.(âHe⌠he does needlepoint?â Steve asks after a moment, and Sarah nods. âNot that thereâs anything wrong with needlepoint,â Bucky adds hurriedly. âI suggested that you might teach him some fencing. And how to ride a horse without being in a side-saddle. He seemed quite enthused by the idea,â Sarah adds. They look at each other, then back to her and nod sharply. Tony can learn whatever hobby he wants. He could learn to weave baskets if thatâs what heâd like to do and Steve and Bucky would support him.)
