Avengers, Young Avengers, New Avengers, and anyone else under the umbrella very rarely listened to what Tony had to say that easily, leaving them standing in Billy's hallway awkwardly while Tony worked very hard to eventually produce, "Great," then, "Uh," and a way out of this prolonged tension. He landed on repeating, "Great," then pointing to the door, where he had left the rest of his life away from intruding on Billy's, and only realized he should actually say goodbye after swaying mostly toward his exit. He had to swing back to touch Billy's arm lightly, welcoming him back for a less emotional hug now that he was starting to laugh and smile a little bit.
