And you could have it all - My empire of dirt.

Rhodey is distracting the government types long enough for Tony to hack into the airspace and make sure none of this is being recorded. He loops the moments before the Milano pierces the atmosphere and plays them back, knowing by the time he's out of the system and they figure it out they won't be able to prove it was anything but a technical malfunction. He does all of this from his phone as he stands near the landing pad with Steve flanking his side. He's trying to do things right this time -- no more lone gunslinger act, as Pepper had phrased it.

He looks over his sunglasses at the spaceship as it decompresses, wondering who he's just invited over for dinner. Hopefully they're friendly... When the platform descends it really is just like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He can't help but geek out a little. He'd technically met space aliens before, and Asgardians, etc. but somehow this is way cooler. "Welcome to Earth and please watch your step, we don't have liability insurance yet."

Peter nods at that description, it's not like he would argue with it. 'Eccentric' is way mild for what they both are as teams, and he's thinking the Guardians may have an advantage in the weirdo department honestly, though he doesn't know Nat and Clint well yet so that will change. He crosses his arms across his chest and looks over Steve's shoulder at the room at large. "You know, I'm gettin' the same kinda feeling." His eyes crinkle up bemusedly, a smile tugging at one side of his lips. This is going to work out, and really it has to. They're better at doing things right when they don't have a choice about it anyway.
