“Fellas,” is about all Rogers gets to contribute before Thor envelops Loki is a hug.

“I have been selfish, Loki. My fall and your loss showed me all too well my errors. I try still to right what I have done, and with you once again with me, I will work to make the wrongs I caused right to you.”

Tony stands alone, the fire in his chest turned to ice. His breathing is more shallow now, as if his lungs burn with each attempt, as if he’s slowly filling with concrete and turning to stone. He turns eyes bright with tears that will sting and remain unshed away from Thor and Loki as he tries to think of a way out of this situation that doesn’t look like he’s running.

Tony Stark doesn’t care. Tony Stark is pompous and arrogant and a garbage human whose selfishness makes his heroics self servicing. He makes everything worse in his attempts to make them better and he doesn’t care because he knows he’s right. In the end, he may well stand alone, but he’ll be right.

Tony mechanically straightens and lets his mind close itself off. He turns on his heels and heads away from the scene with poor Rogers left unsure what to do. Ultimately, he chooses to remain with Thor in case Loki turns violent. Tony will be fine alone.

And it’s not like they’re friends.
