“My stupid brain tells me I’m undeserving of love.”
“I… I’m very sorry to hear that. You okay, kiddo…? Did something happen?”
“Oh pft! Yeah totally,” of course that was a lie, “totally fine! Why wouldn’t I be fine… I’m fine. Do I not look fine?”
“Well, I would have to say you don’t. Which is okay, by the way – it happens to the best of us.” He watched the kid, wondering if something happened, or if this was stress accumulating from school or what-have-you.
I mean, seriously. Did you just see him disarm – heh – The Winter freakin Soldier in a single gauntlet and a damn three piece suit? And the little smirk when he takes the gun apart?
I definitely headcanon that Winter would remember this moment with a grudging awe. And maybe some feelings in his pants.
Tony Stark is BAMF in and out of the armor.
I love this scene. Those moves were so slick! The WS has dropped agents by the bunch, and a three piece suit asigned as non combatant disarms him (and delays him about as much as a former Red Room graduate).
Very nice reminder that Tony know his guns, and is far from helpless out of armor
