[Oh god, oh thank god. Teddy lets out a long sigh of relief, and he can feel most of the rage inside leave with it. All he wants to do is drop to his knees and pull Billy into the tightest hug he can give without squeezing him too hard.
But he knows, he knows he has a job to do, and if he messes this up, everyone suffers for it. Still, he can't resist cupping Billy's cheeks with his hands and leaning in more, checking to see if he's dazed, in shock, or any other sign that he'd need more time to recover.]
Billy...
[For just a few seconds, Teddy presses his forehead to Billy's. It's too short for him, but he's probably already spent too long here.
He pulls back after that, though he still keeps his hands on Billy's cheeks. This time, though, it's to get his attention as he speaks.]
I'm going to start breaking everyone else out, and I need your help. Cap and the others are going to go up against Iron Man, and the plan is to have everyone broken out to join Cap's side. We don't have a lot of time, and we can't screw this up. You get me?
