[It was clearly a joke, but Ava can't seen to take it that way. There's something palpably different about her. Not that she was ever the most light-hearted of people, but it's different now, eats from the inside.
But she nods, makes an effort at flashing him a smile, although it falls a little flat, before heading in that direction. Her glowing blades are held easy in her hands, and she moves quiet and easy, even if it doesn't feel easy anymore.] Reptile skin isn't quite my style. But we can at least keep them from hurting people.
[She's trying though. She's here, and maybe that's important. And Tony's here, and that's good. Not the same Tony. And even if it was, she might be angry at him, but it's less blame, and more emotion she doesn't entirely know how to parse. The blame, that she mostly reserves for herself. And some for Natasha. Fighting the monsters is no longer simple when she thinks of herself, thinks of Sana.
But she's out here fighting anyway. More than ever she wants to keep people safe.]
