"Giant lobsters," Peter says, and Tony watches from two different angles as lobsters the size of buses scuttle down the sidewalk, leaving lightpoles crumpled and sparking in their wake.

*dies of glee* The giant lobsters are brilliant Marvel-style crack (and Peter and Tony's snarky play-by-play was awesome, as was Tony essentially being in two places at once by remote controlling the armor and tagging along with Steve as a kitten.

Tony hears 'kitten', and behind that he hears 'heart condition' and 'recovering alcoholic' and 'been mind-controlled too many times'. *Steve, I can't - this is what I do. This is who I am.* It was always going to be something, but Tony's gotten used to the hand he gets dealt. *I'm not going to let this stop me doing my job.*

*huggles Tony* I love this bit -- it's exactly what Tony would think if he were turned into a kitten and Steve were trying to keep him out of fights for his own safety (and I love that comics are such that I can type that in all seriousness). Ah, Tony, your self-worth issues make for such beautiful angst, even when you're a kitten.
