Tony had very quickly gotten the sense from Kyle that this was not his usual scene, so he didn't need him to answer the prompt, but that Kyle thought he had to make that clear still made Tony laugh enough to hide it in his mug. At least Kyle had met some aliens, so his Earth couldn't have been that different. Maybe he just had another word for 'superheroes'.

"Eventually, if he tried enough planets, one of them will be easy enough to save," Tony summarized, back to not quick looking Beck's way with a wry smile for the kid and only glancing into the reflection of the viewport to see if the needling would produce more revealing talking. How entirely intentional any of this was wasn't as clear cut to Tony, though, making him ask Kyle, "And what about you?" He tipped his head, looking like he expected them to be able to follow that leap he had made before bothering to clarify, "What makes you 'really special'?"
