You might wanna stop calling him that one. We're only a few years behind Gladio.
[If Tony's going to profess undying love to their Shield he probably shouldn't consider his peers 'kids', even for a joke.]
Insomnia's a city of refugees, not just Lucians. For decades, it became a safe haven for people from all over the world who'd lost their homes to the Niffs. We weren't perfect, but we didn't turn people away, either. Taking in folks who don't belong anywhere else is kind of what it does best.
[The city had limits, conflict, instability. It struggled, people fought and grieved and took things for granted. The wall was little more than a pause button that held off the worst that their world had to offer as long as his father stood tall enough to support it. Still, it did so much good, and it saved so many people. He's seen the best and worst of it, over the years, but not once was he ever not proud to call it home.]
