There’s so much to unpack there and Tony wants to address everything that’s being said to him. He wants to stop Steve from continuing and he wants to confirm or to interject, but in the end, Tony is strangely silent through the unloading process.
He doesn’t even make fun of or twist some of the things Steve says. Even if it would be so easy. And so amusing. Making Steve blush or blink, confused, had been his favorite pastime during the stops in New York he made before he moved back and every visit to the compound thereafter.
“You’re too much the lone soldier. I can and have taken care of myself, I just want to point that out,” Tony says the moment that Steve gives him a place to do so. “He did actually try to kill me. And I was ready. I would have been ready before too. You’re so damned infuriating. You always need things done your way. You have to give a little.”
No. Tony doesn’t see the irony in any of those statements. He never does. He has blinders for his own faults.
“Let me just... Back up here, Rogers. If you didn’t freeze yourself, Barnes would have been used to kill us all. Or HYDRA would have killed us all. I don’t know when this is going to work out. Or how far back we’ll go. I don’t know how long it’s going to take, or what’s going to happen to us, but we need to scratch out the last two years here. We have each other now. Okay? There’s not too many of us left so we need to hold onto that.”
