“A genetically enhanced alien raccoon-- Sure, why not. To go with Biomechanical Smurf Barbie and the talking tree, right?” Tony’s only half listening at this point, brain cataloging what Steve had said and then dismissing it out of hand. “I usually work alone but it’s probably a good idea to tap into anyone that understands quantum physics here. And since Banner’s chilling in Vienna, I’ll take a rodent and Avatar robot.”
Tony has absolutely no concept of caring if Steve can follow his weird references or not. He needs the sounding board. With FRIDAY busy using her feelers to tap into networks it’s probably illegal for Tony to have access to, satellites, and a scarily accurate facial recognition software Tony had written to relive the past when he was feeling sad about not having his mom around, Tony doesn’t want to disturb her. She’s got enough work to do trying to figure out which important world leaders are still functioning.
And if Pepper and Happy managed to survive the Great Dust Storm.
Title is a work in progress.
Anyway, Steve will do if his Wild Man appearance translates into a looser moral code than a strict pointing towards Truth North. Tony is pretty sure that they’re going to be doing some pretty terrible things over the next few days or weeks. He and Steve have a past and they rarely see eye to eye, but they both want to bring back the people that they’ve lost and selling one’s soul to the devil to achieve that is a nominal price.
“You’re not going to like the way I say anything from here on out,” Tony confirms, leveling Steve in a Wild Man gaze of his own, the kind of gaze that often frightened Pepper and would scare Banner too if he saw it again. Tony Stark On A Mission is dangerous and potentially unstoppable. “I hope your incredible shrinking and growing guy is alive. We need to steal his suit.”
