( His mouth puckers, like the "Blip" leaves a bad taste on his tongue. Oh, Tony is severely judging that shit. He may stew on that for days, thanks.
Resting back, he listens as Sam continues. There's some details he's missing, because the shield he remembers– broken in half by Thanos' double-bladed sword -is the only one that comes to mind. The specifics matter less than Sam's next revelation: they announced the new Captain America.
Of course. Of course Ross would immediately pull a stunt like that, after America lost three Avengers, after Ross had zero issue for years painting Steve Rogers- and the rest of the splintered team -as some sort of treasonous, rogue terrorist. America had to look strong on the world stage, and men like Ross only thought of strength as flaunted power.
Tony surprises himself by how incensed the thought makes him. He blows a breath out through his nose. )
Uh, can I hazard a guess here: blond, lantern-jawed good old boy from the Midwest? Former Special Forces? No ties at all to Steve, to anyone on the team?
