Chapter 38: "Tony Stank"

Everett Ross had Zemo locked away with high expectations that he wouldn't escape.

Then at Avengers HQ, Tony was helping Rhodey walk along the rails with the aid of tech on his legs.

"It's just the first pass," Tony said.

"Yeah," Rhodey responded.

"Give me some feedback. Anything you can think of. Shock absorption. Lateral movement. Cup holder?" Tony told him.

"You may wanna think about some AC down in--" Rhodey started before falling to his knees and hands.

"Let's go. I'll give you a hand," Tony offered.

"No, no, don't. Don't help me. Don't help me," Rhodey insisted, positioned himself to sit on the floor, then explained, "138. 138 combat missions. That's how many I've flown, Tony. Every one of them could've been my last, but I flew 'em. Because the fight needed to be fought. It's the same with these Accords. I signed because it was the right thing to do. And, yeah, this sucks. This is...This is a bad beat. But it hasn't change my mind. I don't think."

At that, the two smiled. Rhodey then took Tony's hand then Tony helped him up.

"You okay?" Tony asked.

"Oh yeah," Rhodey answered.

Then there was a knock on the door and the two of them looked to see a FedEx driver (Stan Lee) outside with a package.

"Are you Tony 'Stank'?" he asked, saying Tony's last name wrong.

"Yes, this is-- this is Tony 'Stank'. You're in the right place. Thank you for that!" Rhodey said then told Tony while walking off, "I'm never dropping that, by the way. Table for one, Mr. 'Stank'. Please, by the bathroom."

Tony just rolled his eyes with a smile then got the package.
