As he followed Tony across the room, an impulse within him took hold, and he gave it voice. "It's probably redundant to mention what a big deal this is for me...but I need to say it anyway."
"You've put a hell of a lot of faith in me from day one, Stark. I'm not sure what I did to earn your trust, but I don't take it lightly. I know multinational entities tend to cling to you in bunches like barnacles, but still- this one's your Mother's legacy..."
His voice became soft and earnest for a moment "And if there's one thing I seem to be able to do, it's preserve the legacies of people much greater than I could ever hope to be."
He could sense Tony squirming as he was caught in the crosshairs of a personal moment, so Danny tried to end it quickly for him, taking off his sunglasses and looking him in the eye. "Thank you. I won't let you down."
He looked away, trying to shift the mood into something they were both more comfortable with. "A jet, yeah if it helps me do my job. Why not. Obviously I'm gonna need some help getting caught up to speed on this, should I schedule something with your girls?" he asked, referring to Pepper and Cassie.
