Gene, what did you do?

Tony hopes it's nothing. He hopes it's something insignificant that Gene's just gotten himself worked up over - he does that, sometimes, making a big deal out of things that Tony really doesn't mind. Tony just has to talk him down, and reassure him that he's not mad, or hurt. Maybe that's all this is, too. Maybe.
