I literally started crying in the cinema at this because seriously fuck you, Steve. There are so many people going ~SEXUAL TENSION~. But no. No. This is just cruel. And tony’s comebacks are in no way even close to being as mean; for tony they’re rather weak and stumbly. Because do you see his face there? Steve just fucking ripped him to shreds. And i’m crying now; this just breaks my heart. You’ve seen the footage, Steve? Really? Have you really? You’ve seen him as he watched kids being killed by his own weapons? You’ve seen him being tortured? You’ve seen the only person who believed in him as a person die in front of him? Do you actually get that there is a fucking hole in his chest? That the fact that he’s even alive is a fucking miracle like a hundred times over. One which he’s clawed into existence with his own hands and genius. You’ve seen the closest person he had to a father literally rip his heart from his chest? You’ve seen how he then had to kill that closest person he had to a father? You’ve seen how he was dying all alone and yet STILL attempted to save everyone around him? WITHOUT HIS SUIT Oh yeah you’ve seen the fucking footage haven’t you? I don’t think you get, Steve how much you can’t take those words back. Years from now they’re still going to be rattling around in tony’s head echoing every crappy thought he’s ever had about himself. It just makes me so mad. I love you Steve, but nothing justifies what you said to him. Nothing.

But here’s the thing - all of this is true, yes. But Steve is just as hurt as Tony. He’s alone and completely out of his depth in the world. He won’t sleep because he’s already slept for so long and is obviously suffering from PTSD. He still feels like he should be fighting a war and doesn’t know what use he can be if he isn’t in one. Because that’s what he was made to be. The reason he’s even alive is because he was made to be a soldier. He was made to be the best soldier there is. But now? Now he doesn’t have anything to do. Except start fighting the same battle he thought he had won by crashing that plane.

And Tony doesn’t back down. He picks at that weakness - the fear that “everything special about him came out of a bottle.” The fear that without the serum he would have gotten beaten up in alleys for the rest of his life, never doing anything worthwhile. The fear that he has no place in this new world because there are people like Tony who can find ways to make themselves strong on their own. Not only that, but he’s also reminding Steve that the guys he knew, the friends he lost - their sacrifice doesn’t mean anything anymore. Not really. Because  there are people like Tony who can see the other ways out. Who can find the better way.

That’s the thing about this scene - Tony and Steve manage to find the most sensitive nerve and attack it. They both hurt each other in the worst way possible. And ten minutes later they are the only two of the entire group working together to try and keep that helicarrier afloat. Ten minutes later, Tony isn’t mocking Steve for not understanding all the technobabble he is spewing and Steve is seeing the proof that Tony isn’t as selfish as he thought. And it’s an amazing moment because after that? After they work together to get that engine working again? They’re a team. Steve follows Tony when he walks off. They figure out what they have to do to find Loki and decide that they have to go and stop him. And when they’re on the battlefield? Tony’s the one who tells Steve to give them their orders. 

I’M SORRY I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELS.
