“Right now, our nine billion people are the end game,” Tony insists. He doesn’t know if he’s gotten through to the blond or if Steve is coming to the conclusion he already had: fighting isn’t the solution. “It’s not good enough for you. And it’s not good enough for me either. It’s just an obtainable goal. He won’t come here if he doesn’t have a reason. We can fill the rest in later.”
In a calculated risk, Tony leaves the general safety of his armor and stretches out on the jumpseat behind Steve. He’s within range of the other man, and Steve can incapacitate him before FRIDAY can react.
He hopes to show trust. He doesn’t know how well it’s going over though. “I’m going to tell you right now that we don’t have the ability to stop him. Not right now. Not even when I’m from. What we’re doing now is buying some time.”
He isn’t sure how much Steve is listening to him right now. The guy is so damned stubborn. That means that Tony is going to have to offer something up.
“It’s not just time for us. But for your pal Barnes. He’s alive. He’s HYDRA. Brainwashed. And we are going to need him.”
