Tony glances over at Cap, wondering what the Super Soldier's reaction to all this would be. Steve always seems so stoic, Tony had a hard time reading him, especially when the Capsicle was first freed from the ice. He notices the wet spot between Steve's legs, but doesn't say a thing. He remembers when he was a child himself, of this age and he had his own bladder problems. The therapist said it had something to do with his mother's death and his father's neglect, but what the heck did that guy know?

Anyway, Tony's primary objective was now to save his friend from all the embarrassment Tony himself had once felt by the betrayal of his body. He struts over to Steve in that way that he always does, but of course it looks a bit funnier now that he's so much shorter and his limbs so much stockier. He wraps a chubby arm around the Captain's neck and uses the thumb of his other hand to pad away Steve's tears.

"Cheer up, Cap," he whispers, "I'll get you outta this mess." With a grin and another trademark Stark wink, Tony throws his suit jacket, now much too large for any of them in the room, over Steve's shoulders, hiding the other boy's wet mark.
