Despite his mood, Tony couldn't help noticing when Wally entered that the younger man seemed edgier than he had the previous two nights. At first, he wrote it off as situational; there was more than enough reason in the hospital from hell for someone to develop a case of nerves. Monsters, possible torture, people who weren't who they said they were, all added up to an environment that was not exactly soothing.

That assumption faltered and faded as he realized Wally was, for whatever reason, watching him. Tony raised his own gaze to meet his roommates, eyebrows drawing slowly upward, and after several seconds remarked irritably, "I'm not going to turn into a monster and eat you." He paused, frowning, and added, "Or strap you to a table and dissect you. I'm not one of the bad guys."
