There is a moment of pause. Tony shakes his head in gentle resignation.
Steve then says, “Tony, you can’t even look at us. You don’t want any apology from Bucky, not even from me, but it doesn’t feel like things are right— not right. Leveled.”
There’s a considerable pause. For a moment, Tony considers heading back to his lab, leaving this headache for another day. But for the first time, he doesn’t. He offers a flat smile when he shares, “Not everyone gets their best friend back, Steve.”
or: a spin on post civil-war; there’s a god awful lot more to tony stark than meets the eye.
