He can think of another face he came across during Firalia, who he tried to end, once, when the grief of a bereft kid took him over. He'd just been starting to find some closure, here in Lunatia -- with Steve, and Jersey, and maybe... maybe even Barnes, but now...
He'd built a simulation to say goodbye to Mom and Dad. But this Howard... he doesn't even know who Tony is.]

He would say he has far more baggage when it comes to Ross, his once-father surrogate. But he knows Tony very well.]
Hey. I'm here for you. If you want to talk or need anyone I'm always available.
