Tony has a few issues with the spectrum of good versus evil. Mostly he falls in the middle of a wide sliding scale. He tries to be better, but let's be honest. Men like Tony just can't be good, not completely. He's stopped trying. Especially after he submitted to having his heart removed.

For what? Pepper? His own peace of mind? He feels empty. And killing Bucky like this would have just made that emptiness grow.

He can't allow that.

"They're on the table." He gestures with a screwdriver. "Are you a Chinese sort of killing machine or more Italian? I could order in some room service." Why the hell is he being nice to this man?

Bucky Barnes shouldn't be alive.

But neither should he. Shit. Redemption story sucker!
