“What mother? I quite distinctly remember you renouncing any and all parentage you ever had, biological or adoptive.”

“I care because your brother is huge, stronger than me and controls lightning which is a very nerve wracking thing for someone with a metal arm. He’s also very invested in you living and I don’t want to break the news you’re a pancake to him. Do you see my dilemma?” Kneeling down, Bucky looked him over, pulling aside the elaborate coat he had on, hands pressing gently along his ribs. “You might have broken something, does it hurt when I press here?”

Tony knew Steve was tracking Bucky. This was a simple fact. He also knew the man had had jack all luck and pulled a veritable ‘that’s nice Tony, maybe you need sleep’ when he’d offered his own brand of help.

To be fair, his brand of help had been ‘let me kill you so you can sense him better’ so he could see how that hadn’t exactly won Steve over. But for fucks sake, he was losing patience with just about everyone. Nobody remembered anything but the Hulk and how the hell that worked he still didn’t know. He did know the guy was not helping and found his frustration funny.

So he’d decided to say ‘fuck it’ and look on his own. Which had been a hell of a lot easier than he expected which was... weird. He’d never been one of the more powerful gods in their group so the fact he had so much more oomph had to be due to his humanity, that was his best guess really. It was wrong, of course, but he didn’t realize that.

Still, it gave him the remotest chance in hell of managing to track Bucky down, and he did so, more by luck than anything, he was pretty sure, but the algorithm he built and threw godly power behind at least seemed to do its job, because here he was, with the guy in sight and no idea how the fuck to open a conversation. On the one hand, he could just go up to him and introduce himself. On the other hand, he could get his ass beat if he did that and he had no desire for that at the moment.
