[Tony watches the screen and sighs. The background was the over-dramatics of a child but he had trouble fully believing she wasn't also trying to manipulate his emotions. It was like when Peter would have one of his massive breakdowns on the train.

Era. We're trying this one more time. You don't know me like you seem to think you do, but I say dumb shit and I make a lot of jokes, but I'm a man of integrity and I keep my promises. When I give you my word, that means something. So you have, my word right now that I am doing this, right here, to help you. That's my goal. That's my only goal. And I've been through some of what you have- obviously not everything, but I've been through a lot of bad shit, you haven't either- so trust me. I can help you, if you let me.

Are you with me so far?
