me at 3am explaining to my stuffed animals the importance of tony saying “i lost the kid” to steve, and how it’s the first thing he’s said to him since their fight, and it’s not an apology, or a surprised greeting, but him simply saying “i lost the kid.” steve doesn’t even KNOW peter, but he was so important to tony that it had to be the first thing steve knew is that this kid is now GONE. it’s making me want to eat my own fingers i’m going crazy
