Steve gave the bag one last punch that had it groaning ominously on the chain that held it up, before turning to look at Tony. He was very carefully neutral today. He wasn't about to get into another useless argument, and he wasn't going to discuss the emotions that had been laid out before.

So he just gave a half shrug and headed on over to the ring. Tony had made it clear that he didn't want anything from Steve, and Steve was tired of taking those first steps, so he had decided that the relationship between them could be strictly professional. He could cope with it that way.

"We can work on breaking holds today," was all he said as he waited for Tony to join him.
