Re: Tony & Steve
Tony just shrugged. "I don't get it, either. Honestly, I don't think they quite understand how to deal with emotions at all." It was similar to how their resident terminator was. "And maybe you're right. Maybe that's why the bus picked us in particular." Because, even when faced with failure, they didn't give up.
"I'll ask about anything I think of. If they see us more willing to cooperate, then they might start offering more information without waiting for us to ask. They might not even necessarily know what information would be useful and what wouldn't." The science of a lot of things was easy for Tony to figure out. It was the rest of it that sometimes confounded him.
Despite everything, he had to smile back. "We really don't." Part of what made them superheroes, he supposed. "And yeah, easy peasy."
