Tony Apologizing?

I went to go look for Steve, when I found him he was sitting outside the Avengers Compound, staring at the floor, deep in thought. He looks beat, the only possibility of victory now not an opportunity. I was about to say something when we look up as a deafening noise breaks the silence first in the distance. As we look, we see an Audi R8 speeding towards the entrance. The car pulls over to us, but goes a bit too far, then reverses back. We see Tony Stark roll down the window and look at the both of us through his sunglasses.

"Why the long face? Let me guess: He turned into a baby." Tony comments

"Among other things, yeah. What are you doing here?" Steve asks as he nods to him

Tony gets out of the car, and walks around to the back.

Tony Ignoring Steve's question proceeds to open the trunk. "That's the EPR Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky. Dangerous. Somebody should've cautioned you against it."

"You did." Steve points out in defeat

"Oh, did I?" He was acting like he did not; there's the Tony we know. "Thank God I'm here. Regardless, I fixed it." He holds up his right hand, with a device on it.

"A fully functioning Time-Space GPS. I just want peace." Makes peace sign with his fingers. "Turns out, resentment is corrosive, and I hate it."

"Me too." A silent apology was made between the two men.

"We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priorities: Bring back what we lost? I hope, yes. Keep what I got? I have to, at all costs. And... maybe not die trying will be nice."

"Sounds like a deal." Steve reaches out his hand to shake in the deal, in which Tony replies in the same way.

Tony reaches back into his trunk to pull something else out, Captain America's Shield. He makes a move to give it to Steve, who hesitates.

"Tony..."

"Why? He made it for you." referring to Howard Stark who is standing next me as he beams at his son in pride.

"Plus, honestly I have to get it out of the garage before Morgan takes it sledding."

Steve fits his arm into the shield.

"Thank you, Tony." Steve smiles at the man of iron.

"Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team." Tony Hesitates for a moment. "...We are getting the whole team, yeah?"

"We're working on that right now." I say making them both look at me.

"Great! Do you mind if I have a quick conversation with ghost buster here? Kinda important." Tony turns towards Steve as he looks at me in question.

I nod to Steve showing I'll be fine. Steve nods to the two of us and walks back inside, not before taking a quick scan at us making sure we didn't kill each other while his back was turned.

"He really is protective of you. Makes him kinda look like a giant golden retriever." Tony jokes as he turns towards me.
"I just want to say that.... Sorry I didn't bring you a heart to heart gift. I didn't know exactly what you would like, so I brought this." Tony walks to the driver side door and leans in to grab something.

When he turns towards me, he holds a stuffy figure of a ghost from the video game Mario cart in his hands. When my eyes land on it I laughed as I shook my head at Tony with a shit eating grin.

"Is the great billionaire,philanthropist, Tony Stark trying to apologize to me?" I tease

"Good you got the message. I was worried that you would take it as an insult. But technically yes, I wasn't all nice to you when we first meet and after that encounter we never saw eye to eye. I was angry that you brought up my father during a time I just... anyway this is my apology." Tony hands me the ghost stuffy and I hug it towards my chest.
