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."

She gives him a look. Stop with all this sweet, romantic lines!!! It doesn't last long. Gamora is interested in learning some more from Terra before she departs. It's hard not to have a healthy curiosity when it's all Peter talks about seemingly.

"I am willing to learn from him." Gamora agrees slowly. "But, I do not agree to use his moves while dancing." She uses her own!!!

"No, of course you don't." God, she's adorable. Unable to resist, he leans in to kiss the tip of her nose.

She doesn't blush. Gamora isn't capable of it. She does get a little flustered at the gesture. It's the tiny, intimate gestures that always get her. She shifts her head to the side after the kiss and murmurs, "Don't do that."

He smiles, and just asks: "Why not?"
