Trying to wrap his head around shapeshifting and dead people coming back to life isn’t usually in his wheel. Tony lightly scratches at his scalp and then shakes it. “Fine. Shapeshifter. Who is also telepathic? I think that’s going too far. Why bother telling you what you want to hear?”

Nat has been more or less silent through all of this but she has a reason. “Distraction. To win. But why bring up Barnes?” Tony picks up on what she’s getting at. He’s seen all of those propaganda films. He also slept through a Captain America World War II class in college.

“Didn’t you have a girlfriend?” he asks. Honestly, he doesn’t mean to be rude but he just is by nature. “Why not just say insert girl’s name here is still alive?”

Natasha rolls her eyes. She’s trying to convey to Tony that Peggy is actually still alive but men are idiots on the most basic level. And Tony is worse than most.
