Tony felt like an excited little boy on Christmas morning. James Rhodes had been Tony's best friend throughout his entire adult life. He was the first person Tony really trusted and one of the few who never betrayed that faith. There were many awesome things about Goodland, but Tony still missed "his" Rhodey fiercely. He felt selfish wishing for more friends and family when he already had so many in the place, but he couldn't help wishing his best friend would show up for his upcoming wedding. And he had!

Rhodes was living with Nebula, which was perfect. Two of his favorite Avengers right next door? His family next door? He rarely allowed himself to feel so optimistic, but he couldn't help it just then. He practically ran to Nebula and Rhodey's apartment. "It is me!" He called. He knocked, but it came out as more of a bang.

Tony's expression faltered at the mention of Avengers Tower. It housed the Avengers when they needed a safe place and when they needed to be together over the years, but Tony couldn't help remembering the division that took place, leaving only a few of them in the Tower. It reminded him that even here, having not lived the years between the snap and the un-dusting, he still felt like he didn't belong. However, he didn't want his insecurity clouding the moment so he forced a grin that became genuine the more Rhodey talked.

He wasn't surprised Rhodey chose to remain behind. "Yeah, we will leave that for next week," he teased. He didn't mention getting Rhodey what he needed to become mobile again, but Tony silently vowed to get it done as soon as possible.

Nebula could understand the instinct not to be vulnerable in front of others, or appear weak, even if it weren't true. So with Tony not pushing it and Rhodey deserving to take some time, Nebula didn't pursue it at all.

"Tony is already the weird dude in the corner." But a lightening of the mood didn't hurt, surely.

Humans had just as many hang ups as were learned into Nebula's personality, so she figured it wasn't her place to tell either of them they were being dumb, if needed she could flit between the party up stairs and the room to make sure there wasn't issue -parties weren't Nebula's thing anyway.
