[ she'd known, once she realized who had been flying next to her in the suit. it lined up with how he'd reacted to her when he was in her dream, with what his version of clint had told her. she'd just been hoping she was wrong, too. ]
[Tony notes that his hands have started to shake, minute tremors running down his arms and he's so grateful that they're not face to face. This might as well be confirmation that it's her memory.

loki. nothing important
[He wants to ask if she picked up anything. He's too scared to.]
[ that memory in particular isn't anything she's not okay with him seeing. it had been a con, a play to get loki to reveal why he'd allowed himself to be captured and taken on board the helicarrier. the things that loki had mentioned had been real, but her reaction to him throwing them back at her had been false. ]
did you see anything else?
[ he hasn't asked what she'd seen, so she's not telling him. not yet. she needs to be sure of the timing, that it won't frighten him into hiding when they need each other to heal. ]
it wasn't. i wondered if you'd experienced anything else, related to that memory or not.
[ it had, and she can understand him not wanting to discuss it because this conversation isn't any more comfortable for her than it is for him. but avoiding each other isn't going to solve anything. ]

i know it was a trick if that's what you're asking. the black widow isn't that easily spooked[And he remembered it as if he had lived it which didn't bode well for him if it worked the same in reverse.]
