mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one, nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong…you gave me a home.
tony: i don't trust a guy without a dark side. call me old fashioned.
steve: well let's just say you haven't seen it yet.
even though i said i was willing to go all the way with it...i wasn't. and-and i know this because the the worst has happened. the one thing i can't live without has happened.
tony: wait a second. no one else is going to deal with the fact that cap just said "language?"
steve: i know. it just slipped out.
steve: be nicer to people. don't be so aggressive. we've talked about this.
tony: i only do that when i'm tired, hungry or frustrated. or any combination of the three.
steve: i know.
i see tony stark trying to speak at steve's funeral. it's the third time they've shown it and i still can't believe it. he breaks. starts crying and walks away... just walks away.
but as he reaches across steve rogers, their eyes meet and hold. no words are spoken none are needed for both men know that a bond has been broken today. a bond as old as their friendship. as deep as their innermost thoughts. a deep and precious link that may never be whole again
carol: i haven't seen steve like this in a while. that's all i'm saying.
natasha: can you blame him, carol? we lost iron man. we don't know if he's been kidnapped or... worse.
all those times you thought you outs ted him? those times you thought you beat him? he had you. every single time. he could've beaten you, and he chose instead to go easy on you, to spare you.
[tony and morgan exit the woods. suddenly, tony stops. in the driveway, steve rogers stares at him.]
and as i tinker with armour in my lab, i can't help wondering where [steve] is right now, who he's with, and what he's up to...
i know steve rogers, a.k.a. captain america only wants to do good - he is a good man, the best - but he is on the wrong side here. doesn’t mean i don't miss him though. since that letter, i haven't heard another word from him. cap's gone underground.
tony: extra time with the people you love is the best gift of all. happy new year, cap.
steve: happy new year, tony.
steve's optimism was slowly returning. he held out his hand. tony took it. the two men shook for the first time in years.
tony bit his lip, but steve didn't move. then at last, captain america gasped for air “that's my man,” tony said, relieved. then he handed the shield to steve, “you lose this again, i'm keeping it.” his tone was affectionate, teasing. even in dark moments.
