Tilting his head so it’s resting partially on the back of the couch and craned towards Loki, Tony engages in a rather lengthy debate about the pizza from Brooklyn, how the water interacts with the dough and why it’s the best food the Asgardians are likely going to eat. Rogers has to agree, though perhaps that’s because he’s partial to Brooklyn.
When the food arrives, and Banner is called out of the lab, Natasha finally pulls Tony aside to explain to him that he’s being understandably distracted but also the worst human being on the face of the planet. While Tony might interject about rapists and warlords, he understands where Natasha is coming from and he slips off to finish what will end up being a break up with Pepper Potts.
Does Tony love her? He believes he does, but he knows that there isn’t room in his mind for his inventions and Loki and anyone else in that way. And she gets it too.
She’s always been second. She’s always hated the part of him that’s Iron Man. She’s accepted it but watching him head into danger time and time again has been difficult for her.
There are things left to work out when she leaves but Natasha will handle that part. She’s taken a liking to Pepper during her undercover assignment a year or two back. They’ve gotten close. And Tony is thankful not to have to dredge painful things up.
By the time he returns to the group, Rogers is passed out half in his armor on a chair that looks barely able to support him and Thor is halfway through the Lion King, glued to the projection JARVIS set up on the largest wall. Tony arches an eyebrow at Loki, sharing in their tiredness, and then unabashedly sits in the space left by his hip and arm.
