You've reached Tony Stark. If you have this number, you've done something brilliant. Congratulations. Now please don't waste my time.

You let her die and you've got nothing to hold over me. Besides, people seem to come back often enough, why shouldn't I just wait it out?

[It's a bluff of course. He doesn't want to prolong her suffering even if it was 100% guaranteed she'd return from the dead.]

Ah, but maybe she will just die and not return, just as Ariadne did not. Are you willing to take that chance, Stark, simply to deny me something I want? Are you willing to watch her die slowly? It will only get worse, I assure you.

[He could try and bluff all he wanted, but it was easy to out wait him. When it came down to it, Tony would do anything for her and it was for that reason he would later do what he did, believing him to be sacrificing his happiness for her safety.

He could keep this up for a little longer, but that was another moment that she was in agony.]

Where do you want me to take it?

[Co-operation, that's much better :)] The desert. My old base, where I held Captain America a few months ago. You must remember the location, since you found it.

And you will tell no one about this. You should know what will happen if you do. [Of course, he doesn't mention that he'll be moving the gate after it's been checked and re-checked for tracking devices and the like.]
