Life seemed to enjoy doing this to Tony Stark. Get him settled, if not content then at least accustomed, and then turn everything on its head.
It hadn't taken long to find the Iron Man armour- but once he had it in his hands, it was hard to remember why he'd gone looking for it.

"You know, most of the time a penny wouldn't buy you many of my thoughts," Tony chuckled, relaxing as he shot her an easy smile. "Not sure they're worth even that right now though. Mainly I'm wondering how you found me. Been looking for long, or was I just in the right place at the right time?"

Well, there was a minefield if there ever was one. If they found the Mansion ruined, what would he tell her?

"Worse," he laughed. "Still. It doesn't matter now. It's over."

And in an odd way, that was a relief. Whether or not he chose to believe what they'd been told about the destruction of their universes, at least there was actually no way it could be his fault. For once, Tony stark was legitimately blameless.
He wasn't sure how he felt about that.

Tony offered her an oddly genuine smile, coloured with a very definite relief.
"Yeah," he echoed, more grateful for the touch than he'd ever admit. "We can."
