#and they'd all laugh and hope that wherever rhodey is he's okay

[ironhusband]

I’m having many thoughts about the Rhodes family and the friendship they could have with Tony. Tony coming over to see how Roberta and Terrance are doing when the news is covering a war Rhodey is in, letting Roberta teach him how to cook and letting Terrance teach him how to fix cars.... Jeanette calling Tony during that period of time where Rhodey and Jeanette were fighting, because Tony was an addict too and he gets some parts of it better than anyone... Lila and Tony doing science together, Tony turning a blind eye to Lila messing with the suit like Rhodey never does, because he’s the Cool Uncle™.... Tony telling the family to relax, everything will be fine, Rhodey will be fine and while they do he’ll take care of everything in the hospital... Tony not being a replacement for Rhodey during all those times he’s away, but being a good way to ease the longing the family feels for him.
