[ The newest video uploaded on to the network is of Tony Stark's grinning face. He looks tired, sunken in, but there's nothing that could possibly hide that inventors glint. Whatever magic Rhodey weaved before must have worked, because he's spent the last three days awake and surrounded by wiring. He's never been so pleased to have dark circles

[ Steve is busy cooking dinner in the kitchen that he doubts will get touched when the familiar and comforting sound of JARVIS's voice carries around the apartment. He puts the casserole into the oven in a bit of a rush and goes out to see what's happening.
It's been so long since he last saw Tony this way, possessed with his genius and so alive with it, the excitement of a child hanging around him. He worries, of course he does, but this time he doesn't have the heart to even attempt to pull him out of it, does his best to see he eats something, even if he still doesn't know what he's been working on. Until now. ]

[ He runs a hand through his hair, then the other for good measure, and strands of it are sticking up, making him look more and more like the typical crazy scientist people would believe him to be. ] But I rewired the house, he's pretty much half heating - half voice right now, all stuck into this.

Okay, can you two stop flirting now? [ Tony's enthusiasm is bubbling up inside him, nudging up into Steve's palm. ] I let Ella sleep on our bed for the time being, seemed safer, I'll get all this cleared away before she wakes up. We'll only be able to hear him in here or through the armour, and we're going to have to keep the laptop wired up and on, but I'll get there. I have some meetings set up for later this week. Who knows? We might get lucky.

It's good to see you again, sir. It's been a long time.
Yeah, don't be going and giving him the guided tour of all the crap we've been up to, that would be boring.
