I can come up with worse.

Now cuddle up with the fire extinguisher.

[opens his eyes and looks at Coulson]

Listen, I'm not trying to be stubborn here but this isn't working.

I picked the wrong routes.

One last try. I won't talk this time.

[closes his eyes again and sighs, resigned]

I've tried this on my own.

I know. I'm going to touch you. Don't jump.

[he's... man idek stroking his hair a bit 8| THIS IS WEIRD]

... Coulson. I'm not. I.

...

I appreciate the effort, really, but this is going to give me nightmares.

Avoiding sleep is not an option, Stark.

I've been there. It's not pretty.

[he's just. gonna sit up now ok.]

[sighs]

Okay. As promised. I won't try again until you need an intervention.

[he relaxes immediately. LIKE MAGIC]

Good. Good.

I can't promise the intervention will be painless.

Don't threaten me, it annoys me.

It's not a threat. It's just a statement.

[pats him on the back]

Thanks for trying.

Thanks for trying too, I guess.

[standing up then]

I'll send some food through Captain Rogers next time.

It's fine, JARVIS will remind me.

What are the chances he'll eat something substantial, JARVIS?

It depends on what the Mess Hall is serving. If left to his own devices Mr. Stark has an 92% probability of having instant meals.

You're not cute at all, JARVIS.

My apologies, sir. Should I attempt to be cuter?

[this is why I love your stuff better than you, Tony]

It's decided then.

Fine, fine. Thank you.

I'll leave you to your man cave now.

[heading for the door]

Pass the lunch box back to me sometime.

Sure, I'll wash it for you.

[he won't]

Sure.

[out we go]
