Oh, well. ( scott beams with pride, and to anyone who knows him that's a surefire sign that he's about to bring up-- ) Cassie did that, actually. ( maybe his voice gets the slightest bit higher pitched when he mentions her, but he's too happy to notice. ) Guess who her favourite Avenger is? And, no, it's not Ant-Man. Which makes me think I should fight you somehow.
Her logic was that we get to poke you every time we do something with the music, but ( tone softening, he glances at tony for a moment just to offer a sheepish smile ) I think that's just her roundabout way of saying she misses you as much as I do when you're gone. ( scott doesn't have to say it because he knows tony's aware of it--that he's family now, that he's an honorary lang, that he and cassie would fight for him in the same way they'd fight for each other, because langs are nothing if not painfully loyal. and it's this notion that has him removing one hand off the steering wheel just to trace the edge of a bearded jaw with his knuckle. )
[ Oh yeah, Tony knows exactly who's going to be brought up the moment that Scott's demeanor changes. He feels his smile growing, because seriously, watching Scott talk about his daughter is easily one of the most endearing things in the world. ] Oh. Well, I mean, Iron Man is pretty damn cool...
[ He's teasing, of course, although he is definitely flattered that he's Cassie's favorite Avenger. If anything, it makes him grin a little brighter. It's still wild to him that he has Scott and Cassie, that he's part of their family, that he has gotten so damn lucky but he doesn't question it anymore. He's too thankful for it, and his smile softens when Scott's knuckle moves along his jaw. ]
I've missed her, too. Can we go pick her up from school tomorrow? Er, today? [ He sets his hand on Scott's thigh - not necessarily to do anything naughty, but just because now that he's here he doesn't want to stop touching him. ] Maggie wouldn't mind, right?

She'll be happy to see you, too.
