As for Tony looking a lot worse before, he just shakes his head. He knows. He almost lost Tony up there. There's no way in hell he's ever Tony be in a situation like that again without him. ]

[ There's only a short beat after that though because Steve's goal isn't to force Tony to respond to that. He just ... had to say it. It's the reason why he's doing any of this, after all. ] Anyway. I'll check if Bruce is up yet. See if he can give us some more information about how you're doing.
