Good. [That comes out firm.] More people need to. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

He needs friends. Even though he can be hard to talk to about some things, he's a good guy and he needs to be reminded of that sometimes. And I'm pretty sure if I'm the only one pushing him he'll end up punching me, so I appreciate your contribution to the cause. Be as selfish as you want to be.

And how about yourself, Tony? You seem fine after everything. How fine is that, really?

[He almost makes a comment about Watson redirecting the concern back on him. But he manages to bite his tongue and skate by with just the hint of a laugh.]

I am fine. I'm not happy about being controlled, but this is pretty basic Avengers work. If it's not some supervillain coming up with an evil mind control scheme it's aliens messing with our heads, so this isn't exactly new.

I'm just angry it worked. I should have been ready before this.

[It's how he rolls, bro.]

How d'you even begin to prepare for this? Just have the restraints ready? I was lucky I picked up a pair of handcuffs not a day before.

Buddy system, having a good plan for defense in case people have to protect themselves, or just being aware can help people resist mind-control, believe it or not.

I'm not saying there are perfect plans, but it's still something.
