[Tony takes a moment to breathe. He doesn't right himself initially, nor does F.R.I.D.A.Y. drop his hand, but— in a way this is every day for him. And so when the color returns to his face—]
That's an intimate question. You haven't even asked me boxers or briefs.
[THE MOST SERIOUS OF PAUSES while F.R.I.D.A.Y. relays vital statistics to Tony via the display of his glasses. It is, in most ways, about what he expected. Which doesn't really deter him because he was right. His mind is already running through various scenarios to trap Sound Eaters, test Kilgrave's powers on them. It's not that he doesn't think he can kill a Sound Eater. It's that he doesn't know what they're after. If he could know, stop this, end this—
It's a stupid fear gripping his heart that something or someone will take Earth while he's not there to protect it. It's a desperation that fuels him to the irrational.]
It's a depressingly reoccurring power set. Bet you constantly wonder just how much of what people tell you is true and what you order them to say. [There are scales pettier than Tony Stark's, but they are few and far between.] So what you're saying is you've never tried and you can't guarantee performance on demand. And if I could promise you a chance at a Sound Eater, 100% safe to you?
[IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA but also he's desperate, haters to the left. And also frankly trying ultra hard to control his wtf I almost just died feelings. He's a bit all over.]
