it's just a mess of construction with tony at the center of it all. ]
Hey. [ he's busy with some electrical work, but to his credit, he stops what he's doing the moment barnes shows up. ] So, what did you want to talk to me about?
[ He looks around, for a place to— sit? Maybe? Honestly, he's always done his debriefs standing up. Tony's probably as comfortable as he ever is. He's been working.
No stalling. Okay. ]
It's about the other Tony Stark. And the other— the other Bucky Barnes, I guess. I just wanted to clear something up.
[ there's a stool in the corner if he really wants to sit.
tony is, in fact, perfectly in his element at the moment, so what better time than now to discuss something important? or at least he figures that it has to be important. otherwise, bucky would have just told him over the network.
he wasn't expecting it to be about their alts though, garnering an arched brow from him. ]
[ that's... complicated and undesirable. for them.
but— ] They aren't us. As I've told you before, what happens in their universe may not line up with what happens in ours. I'm not going to get on your case about something that I have no evidence of.
[ a beat and then: ] But thank you for telling me. I appreciate it.
[ Maybe not if he were back when he thinks Stark is coming from. Not all that long after he took up the mantle, before Zemo put all his secrets in the headlines.
But he would, now.
There's an unspoken admission in this: he absolutely would have killed them if he had those orders. ]

Yeah? What is it?

[ Yeah. There's not really a way to lead up to that, so he just— says it. Not sitting down, not even fidgeting. ]

In the other universe… that's why they don't get along.
