It wasn't fair. He normally could say just about any obnoxious thing he could think of, but right now he was so struck by this gesture he was practically mute. There wasn't enough time to sort through the feelings that had stirred or ask unnecessary questions. Ignis was moments away from a battle that would risk his and every blue team member's lives.
They were going to war and Tony knew what that meant. He understood the stakes here and that they were both the sort of man who would go down in flames than let this city burn.
It was far too soon when the overhead voice starts speaking. He doesn't really hear the words, but he knows what it's saying anyway. He should step back, give Ignis room with the others to get ready for their jump. He should say something. But what?
"Go get 'em, Tiger."
And that stupid remark was what was the final thing said between them before he watches the blue team jump.
