“It’s not their fault,” Tony mused. “Most of them are used for relief now. Whenever we do something bad because we have to do something good, they get sent in. New coat of paint. I changed their shape a little but... they’re my kids, Banner. I can’t just scrap them. The ones that survived, at least.” Tony lightly tapped the side of his thumb nail on the table and let his smile return slowly. “How about we go and help? They’re better than DUM-E but... They’re not really good for anything but the heavy lifting.”
He pushed himself up, taking a piece of pizza for the road.
Outside, Vision flew overhead but didn’t stop to say hello. And Tony didn’t even look at him. Not for a second. Tony was so different now. So subdued. Banner might have brought the smiles back but that didn’t change a whole lot of how he currently was.
“Took me awhile to get used to HQ but I like it better than the Tower. I don’t have so far to fall here.”
