Okay, maybe she's a little bit of a coward. Caroline stands in the doorway for a long moment, half-heartedly looking around the portion of lab she can see from here. She should really just get in the lab proper and get this over with. She just... really isn't looking forward to finding Tony dead on the floor. Can anyone blame her?
But she forgets all of that when she hears a voice. Caroline ducks and twists toward the sound, reaching for her knife. Shit, they already know who she i--- wait. Wait. That's-- that's Tony peering around a corner at her. She's thinking about ten things at once, most of them "he's not dead" and "holy shit he's not dead." So of course what actually comes out of her mouth first is, "Shit!" At barely below a yell.
Caroline flinches and looks over her shoulder, before stepping all the way in and closing the door. "Oh my god," she says much more quietly. She crosses about halfway over to Stark, far enough to definitely be out of sight from the stairs. Don't get all worked up Lichfield. "Oh my god." ...Too late. "Jesus Christ, Tony, I thought you were dead." She'll just um. Be over here.
