Tony didn’t hear a thing Steve was saying. His head was too busy working through everything that he had said, everything he had threatened. He’d given out his address, not if the Compound, but the place in Malibu. The Compound was fairly well known, though it took a lot of security clearance to get within a few miles of it thanks to SHIELD’s presence. If you were a person. If you had missiles—
Without really thinking about where his hands were going, and with Steve holding him up anyway, Tony went for Cap’s pockets, fishing around in the front and the back for a phone. His own had been behind him when the garage was targeted and probably laid under the rubble of what he had been working on.
It didn’t matter if he found a phone or not. Pepper would not be answering hers, though Without Tony there, without the implants going to work for him, there had been no way to save her unless she managed to be free of the mansion when it went down into the bay.
If there was anyone on this planet that honestly needed to be stopped before he got everyone killed, it was Tony Stark.
He didn’t answer Steve. He didn’t say anything at all save to shout at a voicemail if he could get it. His face was bruised and the blood on him was only partially his own. He didn’t need to answer Steve. He was hurt but he was ignoring it.
