[Thank you, blue lady. Eventually, Steve will learn your name. Right now, he's a bit more concerned about the fact that Tony's still standing. He glances back at Nat, raising his eyebrows. Natasha nudges Okoye with an elbow - the woman's been barely more than a statue since T'Challa dissolved into dust - and she tugs on M'Baku's arm.]
Look, we'll get you back to the city, okay? Just- try to relax.
[One corner of his mouth quirks up in spite of everything. He knows how impossible that is at the best of times, let alone right now. But Tony's not going to have much of a choice, because Okoye and M'Baku are going to do their best to get him back into their transport.
Eventually, they're back in the Golden City, and while there are still plenty of injured, the ones who are worst off have either been treated or succumbed to their wounds. The rest are stable, and so Steve doesn't feel remotely guilty about hijacking Shuri to see about Tony's wound - normally, he'd find a doctor, but Tony's weird bandaging job has him looking for the princess instead (the queen now, he supposes). She doesn't even bother to say anything as she treats Tony; she's almost as haunted as Okoye. And finally they're alone again, Steve sitting down next to the gently hovering table. He buries his face in his hands for a long moment before he looks up at Tony again.]
