Okay. Okay this was actually going to work. Somehow. Through all of this, making the Soldier human could get them out of this truly awful jam. It was their only solution, as far as Tony could see. They had no way off of this island at present, his suit half destroyed and half confiscated. Nothing in those crates could be used for escape either. They had come apart into splinters.
