Tony was silent. He was a void, down to his focused glare--they were nothing like the eyes of the feisty researcher that had emerged during his stay at the Madonna Inn. They were black holes that swallowed everything, not even leaving the barest traces of light. There was something beyond contempt in the way he looked at the man in front him.
"I'm gonna let you in on a secret." The arc reactor in his chest burst to life, and the air itself shuddered. "Thanos didn't kill a single one of them tonight."
A fraction of a second was the duration of the charged unibeam blast that Tony hit Thor with, but that was all he needed. The god went soaring, leaving his path to Quill open, and he took it.
Activating his foot thrusters, Iron Man was looming over Quill's vulnerable form in a heartbeat. "I'll help you. I promised the kid." Rapidly, his arm re-formed into a cluster cannon, taking aim at the man's head.
