It's easier said than done, but I think you probably know that by now.
[He rubs his eyes tiredly, one hand at his side where his mask hangs.]
I guess I'll just — hang out, keep doing my thing. Whether I'm in New York or Riverview, there're people who could use a hand. And, and I could probably use the distraction until they can get me back home. So... [He breathes in deep. Don't freak out right now, Peter, not in front of Mr. Stark. Maybe once you're on your own and not causing any trouble.] I'll be — around.
no subject
Yeah. I hear you. Just -- take it easy on yourself, alright? And let me know if you need anything you know where to find me.
no subject
I will.
[He won't. This is gonna eat him up — but Mr. Stark's right that there's nothing much else to do than to try and relax. Relax? How do you relax? Is that a thing people do under duress? No way. He's about to head out the door, maybe sit somewhere so high the vertigo'll clear his head up, but he hesitates and looks back. He thinks about Mantis giving him a friendship bracelet that he still keep under his suit, and Gamora lecturing him on sleep, and Quill buying him ice-cream in exchange for candy—
God, he can't even help himself.]
Are — Are the Guardians okay?

Though if it isn't, the long exhale that Tony gives, and then the too-gentle statement that follows it might as well be. ]
Do you really want to know? Think about it, Peter. There's nothing you can do about it, not here.
no subject
Who did they lose?
[That's answer enough from him, too. There's nothing he can do about it —
but he can't just leave without knowing, now.]
no subject
I only ever saw Peter, Mantis and the big one. Drax.
[ There's the briefest pause before he makes himself spit it out, eyes closing. ]
None of them made it.
no subject
And Gamora? What about her?
[They were there because she was supposed to be with Thanos.
They were there to save her.]
no subject
He is thinking about her. ]
I think...she was gone before any of us got there.
no subject
He turns and quickly exits the room, not wanting to let it screw him up right in front of his mentor.
With a thwip and a rush of air, he's gone out the door and into the night in seconds.]
