“You don’t need to be cute. I tried to destroy the world by saving it. And then I tried to put a band-aid on the situation that happened. Let’s not pretend that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree here, right?” The mood’s turned, Tony’s put away his bedroom eyes. Rogers hasn’t soured anything towards himself, but Tony often has mood swings when he’s this drunk, and not simply drunk enough to let the world bounce off of him. He groans as he pulls himself up. His healing factor is baseline normal, and so he’s still bruised up pretty decently from the fight with Thanos on Titan’s wasteland.
Getting up is difficult. His bones ache.
He doesn’t give Steve a wider berth than usual, though, and that’s because Steve is seated and staying that way, so his body doesn’t react in flight away from him. He’s neat with his pour and takes a sip before returning the fill line in the tumbler to the standard three fingers he enjoys.
“Should have started realizing that there’s a problem when I created the Relief Foundation. The collateral damage we leave behind is insane, Rogers. That I leave behind. Cleaning up New York was quick. The damage we did could be seen more like the damage that the Chitauri did. Hell, it gave people jobs before we saw what was happening there, until the black market for all things alien formed. Should have seen that coming. Really should have.”
Laws move too slow, but laws are how their society works. Legislation is the way they work. Tony still firmly believes that, even if he sees now that sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
“If we take care of this… No invasion. No super hero boy band. No needless death. We get a do over. I promise you that I’m gonna be better than dad was this time around.”
