It probably isn’t a bad question. Tony should be able to tell Steve what he already has cooking in the back of his brain but he doesn’t trust the guy his dad always seemed to like better. The bottled blond, the serum, the kid he’d met during the war, these are the things Howard Stark had treasured, so much so that he had patented the very blood running through that kid’s veins. Tony actually wonders if he should say that, tell Steve, but it’s his secret, one that hopefully will never come up. The chaotic and reckless part of Tony wants to tell him everything, suddenly, but he loves keeping secrets. He loves knowing more than anyone else in the room.
And he’s pretty sure Steve will just flip out right now anyway. So this is for the beat.
Tony glances over the large blond’s shoulder, at the clear hallway, and tries to maneuver around him without touching him. “Leave it up to me. I’m going to go poke the Jolly Green Giant inside Pooh Bear and create the distraction you’re going to need.”
He assumes Steve knows he’ll have a way to contact him. If not, he’ll figure it out when Tony commandeers whatever technology with a speaker and WiFi there is nearby after the coast is clear.
