Out of the few people Steve had become friends with since his return, Stark and Thor were the closest. Their bond had formed quickly in a short time. Steve had a right to be concerned, and the brief glimpse that Tony gave him was enough to prove he had reason to worry. As far as his mom comment, Steve gave a sly smile. "That it will, Son."
