[His go-to answer for anything. And, oh boy, it's actually kind of easy to relax a bit, to slip into the persona he's usually in when talking to kids, signing autographs. Working kids up over the more mundane Stark products, knowing they'll either leave the showcase throwing a tantrum or the new owner of whatever cool thing or phone or media player Tony was pushing, just to keep them from the inevitable embarrassing meltdown.]
Why stick to driving around on the ground when you can fly? And yeah, it's dangerous. Kind of. It has a belt, but that's not the point.

[Yeah, okay. Let it be known. Tony Stark just has a thing for impressing and entertaining kids. He likes them, is even - gasp - good with them. They're pure imagination and ingenuity and not warped and damaged as adults are. Even kids with pasts like Erik's, they aren't- there's just something different about talking to a kid versus talking to an adult. Something that Tony genuinely likes.
And if anyone calls him on it after this flood is done, he's sending a doomsday bot to trash their room and explode in their face.]
