[ look, Tony is a little bit skeptical of any and all Steve Rogers that come into this place. he has met the other version of himself and he was not at all in good shape, and the way he acted around Steve made Tony think that there was potential for there to be less than amazing Steve Rogers out there in the world (and whatever god is listening out there, please don't strike him down for that thought).

so when the call goes out to seek out what the hell was going on in the wild, and a shiny new Steve Rogers volunteers to lead (because that is such a surprise), Tony decides to tag along. incognito (which means in a hoodie with the hood pulled low, armour in stealth mode around him).

it seems simple enough (so Tony knows that it will be anything but), and Tony has to keep himself from humming as they traipse through the jungle to--

a temple.

it is a fucking temple, complete with fog and ominous feeling and everything. good god, would this place just not for once.

by this point, Tony knows that this Steve is far too optimistic for his own good, and when he offers to go a head, Tony laughs and steps up.]

Yeah, how about no. That never ends well okay, never. It's like asking to be turned into an offering. You're going with backup, Steve. And, to add, we are not leaving your sorry ass in that temple, are you insane? What kind of team are you used to back home?

[ he tugs back the hood and gives Steve a pointed stare. he will stand firm on this one, thanks. ]
