Honestly the whole of Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War is one continuous and angsty Steve/Tony moment. If you want to know what was going on under the surface with these two when Civil War was happening – this is the issue to pick up. Talking, trying to get the other to change sides, falshbacks to happier times – here you get it all.

Steve dealing with casualties vs. Tony dealing with casualties

steve sees things in terms of the lives saved and who/what he can save

while tony only sees the mistakes and what went wrong and who didn’t get saved

steve is a man who is at peace with what he believes, who is a soldier and has accepted that there are casualties and they can only do the best they can do

while tony is a man who will never be at peace with not being good enough to save everyone, who isn’t a soldier and can’t accept that this is simply the best they can do

here you see two people who look at the world in very different ways and that’s exactly why they couldn’t find common grounds to agree on

tony: this is our son, peter
steve: i am aware
tony: this is my other son you never met, harley
steve:
tony: and this is my lovely daughter i met in space, nebula
steve: you can’t just adopt people when you feel sad
