“Hope?” Tony propped himself up in the sand on his elbows. “Hope for what? That we aren’t found out? That we survive another day or two? And then what? Plan A worked fine. We got here. There’s no Plan B though. There had never been a Plan B. Plan Bs don’t work.” Steve was acting like he had all the answers. Like he knew a better way to live—
—because he did. Tony rolled his eyes to cover any sign of revelation on his face.
“You are the real deal, aren’t you?” His face lost some of its stress lines as he laid back down, arms behind his head to gaze at the stars you couldn’t see in the city from all of the light pollution. “I see how you got so many people to follow you. Here’s some hope for you. I hope you do what it says on the tin.”
