[ really, Tony was ready to deal with a slew of things when the armour flickered into view; disbelief. confusion. denial. lack of recognition. despite this Steve clearly being much younger than the Steve he was used to (and... softer somewhat, like he still had yet to steel himself against the injustices and betrayals of the world), there was still something to his look that had Tony ready to argue with him about being included in the mission.
or at least being the backup that he clearly needed.
he doesn't care if this Steve doesn't recognize him or not, there is no way that he is letting Steve, any Steve, get into danger without him.
of course, he doesn't expect the confused calling of his name, or the question.]
Wha-- taller?
[ he sputters a little, face plate flicking up so that Steve can see his raised eyebrow.
taller? what the hell? that was not what he thought he was going to get.]
How short is the Tony you are used to? Because I have been this height since I was, what, nineteen? I've packed on muscle, but not height. You okay there Rogers? Did no one explain the multiverse to you yet? Or did you ignore that part in the Riverview briefing they gave you?
