. . . Your shield.

[acceptabilities]

... My shield? Tony, that was destroyed, remember?

[solvabilities]

I had built another one. It had all the capabilities of your SHIELD.

[acceptabilities]

Wait, you—?

[solvabilities]

It seemed like you needed it.

I mean, you didn't really like it and it doesn't replace your old shield. . .

[acceptabilities]

[...]

I didn't like it? What shield are you talking about?

[solvabilities]

. . . Not you, Steve. I made a shield for -- for him.

[acceptabilities]

I— oh. Was that the one that I... [destroyed]

[solvabilities]

[ shrugs ]

I'll make a better one.

[acceptabilities]

[leans his back against the door on his side]

... not without eating first.

[solvabilities]

Ugh, fine.

[acceptabilities]

Glad to hear it. I hope that includes coming out of there too.

[solvabilities]

Anything else you want me to do? Since you seem to be on a roll.

[ but getting up ]

[acceptabilities]

Just taking care of yourself seems good enough for now.

[solvabilities]

[ . . . he picks up on that, but keeping quiet on it ]

Yeah, sure. One small step at a time.

[acceptabilities]

That's the spirit.

[he'll be waiting outside for you]

[solvabilities]

Speaking of spirits, can I still get a drink?

[acceptabilities]

[you haven't been drinking before this have you?]

Why are you asking me for permission?

[solvabilities]

[ who knows ]

I'm wondering whether you'll give me disappointed looks or not.

[acceptabilities]

I'm glad you value my opinions so highly.

[solvabilities]

[ quietly ]

More than anything.

[acceptabilities]

Hm?

[solvabilities]

Nothing.

[acceptabilities]

[well it's not like it's the first time you've mumbled things under your breath without elaborating]

... if you say so. [pause, his face relaxing again] Hawkeye called the shots on food tonight, so I think it's pizza.

[solvabilities]

As long as he left us some, I'm not complaining.
