Yeah. [ He says, smiling. ] I think that'd be good for us.
[ As he holds his husband though, Steve realizes: ] Do you want to leave, and just—... trust that we'll know when it's time to come back?
[ There's so much more they need than a change of setting. They need a change of pace, or people, or ideas, or life. Steve understands — if they're going to pursue the impossible for the rest of their lives, they need to rest. Tony's still in recovery, even if he's getting stronger, and for all those days between Tony disappearing into space and coming back, he and Natasha ran themselves ragged at the compound. He's seen what it's done to her. They can't stay here.
And Steve's pretty sure that whatever they need, at this point, they can either take it with them or re-create it. ]
