Peter: So… if you were a sandwich, what kind of sandwich would you be?

Tony: *without hesitation* A clubhouse, obviously. And you?

Peter: I’d probably be a peanut butter and jelly.

Tony: Of course, you would.

Thor: Why must you always make things difficult?

Loki: Because, brother, you make it so easy.

Thor: I will never understand you.

Loki: That is tHE POINT-

[i-a-q]

Peter: So… you do anything for fun?

Bucky: I… read?

Peter: *excitedly* You read comics?

Bucky: No. Actual books.

Peter: Aw man.

[i-a-q]

Steve: You’ve got to give yourself a break, man. Nobody expects you to be okay overnight.

Bucky: *staring at the ground* Sometimes, I don’t even know what okay feels like anymore.

Steve: *softly* Then let’s figure it out together.

T’Challa: You’ve reorganized my entire wardrobe?

Shuri: *shrugging* You needed an upgrade. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

T’Challa: I liked my old clothes…

Shuri: No, you didn’t.

[i-a-q]

Tony: You can’t just keep disappearing on me, Steve.

Steve: I’m trying to keep you safe.

Tony: I don’t need you to keep me safe. I need you to stay!

[i-a-q]

Steve: We need to move. Now.

Tony: Oh, great! And here I was thinking we should just sit here and wait for the explosion.

Steve: *gritting his teeth* Tony—

Tony: *grabbing his helmet* I’m moving, I’m moving!

[i-a-q]

Steve: You don’t have to hide how you feel.

Bucky: *softly* It’s the only way I know how.

[i-a-q]

Harley: So, who’s your favorite?

Tony: *deadpan* Neither of you. You’re both equally insufferable.

Peter: That means me!

Harley: Nope, he means me. I’m way more insufferable.

Tony: *groaning* I regret everything.

[i-a-q]

Peter: Why is there a toaster in the freezer?

Harley: It’s part of an experiment.

Peter: *confused* An experiment involving… toast?

Harley: You’ll see.

[i-a-q]

Tony: Why is there a cardboard cutout of me in your office?

Rhodey: *grinning* Motivation. Every time I see it, I remember not to do the dumb stuff you do.

Tony: ... Yeah, okay.

[i-a-q]

Harley: So… you’re not mad?

Tony: Why would I be mad?

Harley: I messed up. Big time. I thought... you'd leave me.

Tony: sighs Kid, I’ve messed up more times than I can count. Doesn’t mean I’m giving up on you.

[i-a-q]

Bucky: Why do you always look at me like that?

Steve: Like what?

Bucky: Like you’re scared I’ll disappear again.

Steve: *quietly* ... Because I am.

[i-a-q]

Clint: So, what’s the weirdest thing Hydra ever made you do?

Bucky: You don’t want to know.

Clint: Now I really want to know.

Bucky: *sighing* I once stole a cake. Just to steal it. No reason. Just a cake.

Clint: *laughing* That’s… actually kind of amazing.

[i-a-q]

Peter: I’m sorry. I screwed up again.

Tony: Kid, you don’t have to apologize every time something goes wrong. You’re not perfect. None of us are.

Peter: *quietly* I just… I don’t want to disappoint you.

Tony: .*softly* ... You never could.

[i-a-q]

Peter: Why did you even choose me?

Tony: ... I saw something in you. Something special.

Peter: *quietly* What if I don’t live up to it?

Tony: *gently* You already have, kid.

[i-a-q]

Clint: So… what’s this button do?

Tony: Don’t— *button gets pressed, alarms start blaring* …push it.

Clint: *innocently* My bad.

Tony: Why are you like this?
