Pepper chose "Rescue" as her superhero name because of how many times she bailed me out, [Tony says with a grin.]
Oh— yeah, nineteen. Sorry. [It's weird, talking to someone from almost two hundred years in the past.]
It is depressing. [Even more depressing is the fact that his dad built Stark International and got rich on weapons manufacturing. Yeah, he'd had a change of heart when Tony was born, but... well. Tony frowns.] People like Stane and Justin Hammer - they both tried to take over Stark International - they only care about building weapons and making money. They don't care about using technology to help people. [He shakes his head, and, suddenly sounding surprisingly vehement, says,] I'm glad I took care of them.
[He looks back at Enjolras, the abrupt anger fading again as he processes his last question.] Oh, uh, no, actually. [A wry smile.] I wish, but I think it's the alien invasion that's going to do it. A lot of people are going to take space exploration a lot more seriously now that a bunch of lizard monsters from another planet have tried to blow us all up.
WARNING: major spoilers for s2 finale, b/c occasionally I actually remember to put spoiler warnings
