"A SHIELD operative," Tony spells it out. "Mole, plant, whatever lingo works best." He's not really sure what verbage is best to use, there.
The searching is suddenly halted when he hears that angry noise Caroline makes. He stands there a little awkwardly, film reel in his hands, mouth twisted down into a very genuine frown.
"I don't know," He says quietly, after a very long moment. "Just help me get through this right now, okay? Later is something I'll deal with when it happens." If it happens. He looks down at the reel's case, the label. Outtakes. Maybe it'll be funny. "And if I fail and die, I won't have to."
That's probably not a good thing to say, but that's pure Stark for you.
