I'M BASICALLY 10 EMOTIONS WEARING A TRENCH COAT, DISGUISED AS HUMAN AT THIS POINT!!!
TONY breaking from the group /knowing/ he would find Steve and Steve seeking Tony OUT! RUTHLESSLY EFFICIENT STEVE STOPPING, just because Tony said stop, said wait!! (Also, I love that the panels HAVE STEVE literally frozen for Tony's entire emotional outreach, like he can't move, like HE DOESN'T WANT TO).
Also, also, apparently the assumption is that Tony actually set the bomb that Elise tried to protect Steve from?? Because Tony seemed to have a plan when he broke away from the others, and then the Hulk began to lose colour/ fade, so Tony may have something absorbing and redistributing the gamma radiation to create a bomb. WHICH MEANS TONY MAY HAVE BEEN STALLING for time during his speech, being entirely earnest, but also subtly manipulative (which is such a good flavour of Tony)!?
(I should make an account)
