Comments

"I'm not suggesting we stay here," Tony said, sounding almost patient. "I'm suggesting that a massive firebreathing lizard might do a lot better against Hydra than one un-armored engineer." And before he could stop himself, he gave in to the urge to nudge his nose against Steve's chest. Just checking to make sure that Steve wasn't shivering more than he could see. Sure.

"We've got a chance to do some real damage here, Steve. We should take advantage of it."

[stevegrogers]

A slight change in tune but he decided to not comment on it for the time being. Maybe later after they made it through everything and had more of a chance to consider it all. Could he let it go completely? Yes, but he never managed to when it came to Tony for some reason. "Are you suggesting we get out of here and go after Hydra like this?" He gestured his hand over Tony to finish off the sentence. He didn't know how to feel there about the suggestion.

The nudging he huffed out a breath towards. "Watch it, lizard." Not the best come back but he had a lot running through his mind. He couldn't extend too much extra energy towards witty quips.

[buildsomething]

"You watch it," he snorted back, nudging hm again. And then just stayed there, taking advantage of that slight contact, even if it made Steve harder to see.

"Look, you seem to be determined to go in there. All I'm saying is that I want to be watching your back. If it means I have to go in like this, then that's what we're going to do."

Usually, Steve never had any issues of just storming into a situation to properly resolve it and move along but things were more complicated this time around. He needed to think of Tony and his situation, protecting him from view.

The public forgave a lot but wouldn't with the dragon status.

"We are going for help and you're going to get somewhere safe and not shifted," Steve explained. "I'm going to call for help and you'll wait here." He paused for a moment. "Hydra can wait."

[buildsomething]

There was a long, quiet pause. "Who are you and what have you done with Steve Rogers?" Tony huffed out a long, smoke-filled breath that might have been a rough laugh. "Steve. I can handle this. Trust me."

He nudged him with his nose again, giant blue eyes fixed on him. "We can do this. Together. We can take them all out."

[stevegrogers]

There were a lot of things he would risk with his own life and comfort but this state did not translate to those around him. To those he cared about most, he wanted to protect them. Who knew the vast protective attitude extended to Tony Stark. Apparently, a dragon Tony Sark.

Huffing out a breath, he considered things for a moment. "Okay, let's go after them but if anything weird happens, I want you out of sight. No one is getting wind of this to -" He trailed off with a stern look, marching out of the area but moving a little slower to give Tony time to catch up.

"Can you catch their scent?"

[buildsomething]

It was on the tip of Tony's tongue to point out that he wasn't a dog, but considering he'd actually managed to win an argument with Steve for once, he was a lot more willing to just let it go. And he could, probably. Maybe. It had been a long time since he'd spent this much time in this shape.

Which might have been why it took a moment for him to stretch himself back upright as Steve started moving, but with his much longer gait he caught up quickly enough. And because Steve had asked, he pointed his head up, trying to get a sense of what exactly he could smell. Mostly storm, though it had passed through already. But.

"Not people," he said after a moment. "But...engines, I think. Smoke, gasoline. Things like that."

[stevegrogers]

Engines actually sounded promising and he gave a nod of his head. "That might be a lead," he offered, rubbing at the back of his neck without really noticing. Any off feeling would have to wait to be dealt with at another time. Likely, never, but Steve could lie to himself about his conditions as well as he pushed it aside with everyone else.

"They would have to be using something to get out of here. We just need to catch them before that happens..." He waved a hand off in front of them. "Lead the way."

[buildsomething]

Tony rumbled an agreement as he changed course towards what little he could make out. It was quiet for a moment or so, just the two of them trudging through the snow, before Tony glanced down at the man next to him. And wasn't in strange to be looking down at him from some place other than mid air.

"You could hop on, you know," he said almost absently, twitching one shoulder in a kind of invitation. "I know you're massive, but I'm pretty sure I can handle your weight." Would it make him feel better if he knew exactly where Steve was at all times? Possibly. But if shit severely hit the fan, Tony had a much better chance of getting them both out of there.

[stevegrogers]

Being so focused on trying to track in his own right, Steve nearly missed the comment from Tony. Hop on. HOP ON. His eyes slid over quickly and he narrowed them as he regarded the dragon beside him. The offer shouldn't have surprised him but he still never enjoyed having to rely on someone else. It made him difficult to be in a group with because he often went his own way regardless of if he should or not.

"I'm fine with walking," Steve responded without really missing a beat. "You need to focus on tracking. If we can head them off, we can end this now and not have to track them all over the world like last time." The tiredness from whatever they did to him continued to cling to his bones and added to his mood issues at the moment. "Are you picking up on anything else?"

[buildsomething]

He didn't quite sigh in response, but he did let out a loud, pointed breath. Steve's stubbornness was great and all, but there were times when you just wanted to knock some sense into him. Tony only barely managed to restrain himself from just picking the idiot up anyway, and that was because an argument wasn't going to help the situation any.

"I'll tell you if I do," Tony said instead, voice almost mild. He did want to take care of this just as much as Steve, if perhaps not as laser-focused on it. But what did they think was going to happen when you put Steve and Hydra together?

Still, he couldn't quite stop himself from adding, "I'm just saying. If we want to put up a good fight when we get there, we need to think about all our options."
