I'm sure Tony's thrilled. [It was said mildly, no hint of her opinion showing either way; she could just be stating the obvious, although she really, really wasn't. She nodded when Steve explained his early encounters with Howard, filing that away.]

Fury had mentioned that Howard had a large hand in forming SHIELD at its origins, too. That was long before I came to them so I never had the chance to meet him. He was always infamous, though. [She tilts her head slightly, flicking a curious glance at Steve.] Is he anything like Tony?
