Tony turned his fingers over in Thor's grip. He took his turn at grasping Thor's wrists, though far more tenderly than Thor had his own. The gesture could have been mistaken for romantic, as if the two were the only ones who existed. The type of moment they had shared so often in the recent past.
Except now, they were both truly alone.
"I put aside every ounce of myself to do what had to be done. That's what I've always done. And you...you couldn't even let go for two seconds. And they're gone. To their graves. All on your head."
Tony didn't give Thor any time. His armor receded--and he lifted Thor's hands to his bared neck.
"If you have an issue with my methods--if you really think you have what it takes to protect what's left of your world--then do it. For real, this time."
