Tony Stark sighs. "You're not going with me on this, are you, Cap?"

Steve Rogers sighs deeply, the weight of his next words already crushing him. "Tony, you are, and always will be, my friend. I care for you deeply, but I will not allow the government to take more than its fair share of power, especially when it comes to the safety, freedom, and rights of some of our closest friends, like Glory Northern. I want her kids to grow up free to express their powers without fear."

"Don't bring Glory into this," Tony warns.

"There's still a chance we can work this out peacefully, Tony," Steve adds, almost begs. "War will mean people die, and I will fight you on this. This is a violation of civil rights."

"Civil rights assume that they're normal people. They aren't."

"So, I'm not worth rights? Glory's not worth it?" Steve nods, accepting the fact that he and Tony will be waging war over this. "Goodbye, Tony. I'm sorry."

"Goodbye, Cap, but I'm not."
