[ He knows it's a lie, because Jarvis wouldn't have showed up if they hadn't had that confrontation. And he remembers how desperate he was to save her life, how guilty he felt that she took a bullet because of him. How he became an actual criminal in the span of a few hours just to ensure she could keep on living.

Then he remembers all the time they did spend at the Avengers Tower together. How it felt like family. And how it crumbled.

Keeping the conversation going really was a bad idea. He should have stopped once Tony said who he was. ]

What about Spider-man?

You said I was never just a employee. What about him? Was he just convenient to team up with?

Spider-Man?

[He doesn't know why Peter would suddenly change topics, but maybe it's just his curiosity, trying to gauge just what level of monster Tony really was the whole time. It must have been a shock for him. And wasn't Peter friends with Spider-Man? That only really makes sense. He's testing him.]

I guess I say a lot of things, don't I? I should stop doing that.

[ He was testing him, trying to get a hint as to whether Tony did figure it out or not. But unsurprisingly, he gives him basically nothing at all.

He's going to have to cut this conversation without solid answers if he doesn't want to screw things up further. ]

I'll see you around.

[He didn't want to go back to that, but his past is apparently chasing him. For the moment, at least, he gets a break. Hopefully Peter got what he wanted out of it, but Tony isn't so sure. It feels unfinished.]

Take care of yourself, Pete.

[Only after he hangs up does he realize he probably should have said I'm sorry.]
