ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: The Rogues think they were greatly wronged during the Civil War and that they were in the right to do what they did. They feel like Tony owes them an apology.

No one else agrees.

ᴛᴀɴɢᴏ1ʟᴀɴɢᴏ ɴᴏᴛᴇꜱ: I'M BACK!!!!

===============

1) LANG

He ran into Lang on his way out of the Compound to meet Pepper for coffee.

The man he had never met before sneered at him like he was some criminal.

Oh the irony.

"Stark."

"Lang," Tony greeted cordially.

Lang scoffed. "You need to pull your head out of your ass and apologise to all the people you hurt. Starting with the people whose lives you ruined."

The bitterness Tony could understand. He knew that Lang's ex-wife was denying him visits with his daughter.

He knew that Cassie Lang had outright stated that she didn't want to see her father.

Tony wouldn't wish the disappointment and betrayal of a father figure on anyone, much less that little girl.

Before he could say anything, or just leave the furious man to stew in his emotions, a voice spoke from behind him.

"No Scott," Hope's voice was sad but firm, filled with disappointment and grief. "You did that all on your own."

She hooked an arm through Tony's and started pulling him away.

"Call me when you man up and admit that you ruined your own life. Again," she tossed over her shoulder.

Lang was silent behind them.

"You didn't have to do that," Tony murmured.

"I know. But I wanted to. My father passed on his irrational Stark hate to Scott. And I did nothing to stop it." She squeezed Tony's arm. "I'm making up for my own mistakes Tony."

They left the Compound in silence, comfortable enough with each other that they didn't need to talk.

"Thanks Honeybee," Tony told her softly just before they parted.

She gave him a sad smile. "That's what friends are for. He's my ex but you're my friend and teammate Tony."

2) WILSON

"You happy to have the world dancing to your tune Stark?" Wilson spat out, betrayal lacing his venomous words. "You betrayed all of us and got off with no consequences. I told you where Bucky and Steve were and all I asked was that you went as a friend. But you don't even know what that means do you? And you don't even have the common decency to apologise."

Tony didn't even need to turn to know that it was Rhodey coming up behind him. The soft whir of the braces gave him away.

"Tony went as a friend Wilson," the colonel snarled, angry in a way Tony very rarely saw.

With Rogers, Rhodey was coldly furious.

With Wilson, Rhodey was fiery and burning in his anger.

"Tony went as a friend," Rhodey repeated. "And as a result, when those two super soldier bastards beat him down and crushed his chest, he was left in Siberia for fifteen hours before someone got to him. Because no one knew where he went and the only reason Vision found him was because Friday disobeyed her coding to tell him the location."
