Steve nodded and let it go. Actually "let it go" was everybody's default with Tony, except for Bruce, who could keep up with his mental processes. It had been annoying at first, until around the third time Tony had mentioned a project that he'd successfully completed that had only been a dream in Howard Stark's day. Then Steve had finally heard the underlying message of See what I did? Isn't it great? Wasn't it worth looking at? Wasn't it worth looking at me? After that, he'd told Tony the story of Howard Stark's very public failure at the debut of his prototype flying car, and things had gotten a lot better between them.
"Where were you anyway?" Tony asked, finally looking up from the mass of wires and cable snaking under the floor.
"At the library."
"At the library? Why don't you just use that Kindle I got you?" That had been another Tony Moment. The Kindle had been a gift to Steve, along with a StarkCom smart phone and a prototype s-Pad. Tony, being one of those people who seemed to make the assumption he'd been frozen during the last ice age, not seventy years ago, had been painstakingly patronizing about explaining the smart phone' features. At least until Clint had wandered by and asked how the phone compared to adjusting the fifty channels on a SCR-536 walkie-talkie from the war.
Tony had just let him read the manuals after that.
