We're still working on building a team for this. If you're interested, you should attend some of the project briefings. We could always use your opinion. Pepper would love it. She's always asking me what you do in your spare time. I've been telling her that you punch things, rip logs, do a million or so sit-ups, push-ups.
Sure. It's something we keep putting off, even at the city-level. They finally started that second avenue line in New York City, but do you know how many times they proposed for it to be built? I remember reading about them putting it on hold, originally, in 1929.
Glad they finally started, clears up some of the 4-5-6, but I was pretty surprised waking up and finding there were still congestion problems.
Guess that's kinda how I feel about the whole eastern seaboard, without high-speed rail.
Look at you getting all passionate about high-speed rails. It's kind of a turn-on.
I'll get you added to the email chain once I've had a word with Pepper. It'll be great. I get to keep my focus on the tech part. Hate the politics of it, but I think you'll do fine.
You're gonna need to get a few fancy suits tailored if you're gonna start attending meetings at SI. I'll introduce you to my guy.
Sure. You take care of the technical side, I'll take care of the politics.
[ He's known to be pretty stubborn and make decent speeches, so that shouldn't be a problem. And it's something he is actually passionate about. The invention of trains revitalized so many communities, and he thinks that high-speed rail might do the same. ]
I'll get one suit. Not sure I could afford more than that.
It's not favoritism when you're a big shot all on your own, Captain America. Besides, you had a close work relationship with my father. He always said you were an inspiration. Where do you think he got the idea to build an arc reactor? It's based on the Tesseract. He turned it into something good. He hoped you'd be alive to see it someday. Now you'll have a hand in making his dreams come true. Clean energy was his thing.
tl;dr -- don't sell yourself short. Plus, I don't do favors. People get what they get from me because it's what they deserve. Nothing more, nothing less.
( nice sentiment and all, but that's something he can never be sure of. his old man had always expected more from him. nothing tony did was ever good enough. he's put that exact same expectation on himself these days. he's got to do more. wants to. needs to. it's never enough. )

[ A few seconds later: ]
Thanks, Tony. Really.
I did read some of those old files. I think he would've been proud of you.
no subject
Yeah. Sure. I'll see you at the barbecue.
