For as long as Tony needed it, Steve stood there. It was the only thing he could do, really. He couldn't give him back River, or, Pepper, or Jane. Couldn't return all his armor, personal items, or send him back home. He couldn't even promise that he would be there tomorrow, even though he was sure he would be. But, he wouldn't say any of that, because they were the only ones left.
His hand slid and dropped back to his side and Steve looked ahead and - surprisingly - found himself smiling.
"What was there to blow up?" he glanced back down. "You turned everything off."
