[What does an insomniac superhero do at night? They wander off the pool house and build their own working area in the underground labs]

More than having an anxiety attack in front of 'em?

The attack is gonna happen regardless of whether or not they have previous warning.

But it'll change how they react, if that's what you're really worried about.

You didn't get a warning and you reacted just fine.

Anyone who's seen combat would.

[ughhh. sighs]

I hadn't thought of it like that.

Wish I had a better suggestion.

I'll just put up with it.

[ nods. ]

Fair enough.

[WHY DO I LIKE YOU]

[ WHAT ]

...

Why did you ask?

Well, I know you wanna deal with it. Thought it might help to talk about where you are.

Doesn't feel like I'm going anywhere. Though, I guess I can say New York without freezing, so that's an improvement.

Hey.

[ smiles, genuinely pleased. ]

Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and wonder if you were artificially created using fairy dust and the dreams of baby unicorns?

Well, I never did ask what was in that stuff.

The mystery is finally solved.

[ huffs. ]

Anyway. It's barely progress.

It's definitely something, Tony.

Barely, like I said.

I disagree.

I don't get triggered by the name of a city I've been familiar my entire life. Honestly Steve, that shouldn't have been a trigger to begin with.

Well, it was.

[ smiles a little, self-deprecating. ]

You should probably save your breath on this.
