Tony's gotten his strength back, but he still hasn't forgiven Steve. They're civil but not much else.

If I thought you failed me the way he does, I wouldn't be more than civil either, Carol said on the second day when Steve and Nat were talking quietly in a corner of the hold.

Did I ask your opinion?

No, Carol smiles - with teeth. But I'm offering it anyway.

Steve isn't sure what to make of this woman with her frank boldness and unabashed willingness to step into a conversation that she wasn't invited to. But - like Thor - he likes her style.

I like Carol.

Carol is very much not a paradigm of feminism that Steve is accustomed to seeing. Tony and Rhodey (older and wiser) would be more familiar with it.
