And now they’re going to stop and debate some more. Clenching his teeth, Tony stops, takes a deep breath that does nothing to calm his irritation, and turns to look at them. He doesn’t know why Steve sent Loki with them either. The suspicion that it’s because he can do double duty as two people, as powerful as he is, and pick up Tony’s slack only serves to make him more annoyed.
“Bruce is gone. Vanished without a trace yesterday.” There’s subtlety and there’s Tony Stark, and right now, he doesn’t have the patience to play games. Loki’s right. He’ll be more helpful if he knows what’s going on. “I’d like to find him.”
He doesn’t know if there are cameras out here, or whether their movements and conversations are being tracked by the wristbands they wear. What’s safe to say and what isn’t, he doesn’t know. Lately, there’s a lot of things he doesn’t know, and as a genius, that doesn’t sit well.
“Is there anything you’d be willing to do to help us?” It’s his only nod toward subtlety, the careful choosing of his words to make it seem to their invisible audience – if they have one - as though he has no idea what Loki can and can’t do.
