[The ungraceful descent down the first flight of stairs ends thankfully with Tony managing to somehow stay on his feet. Aw, yeah, stuck the landing.
He doesn't waste time looking up at Barnes, just scrambles down the next flight...
As it turns out, eight floors of stairs turns out to be a hell of a lot of stairs. Especially for a guy who recently had major chest surgery. Tony makes it as far as the fifth floor before he has stop, leaning against the wall to catch his breath. Barnes obviously isn't running to catch him, which means he's either up there but not in a hurry... or the bastard's shimmied down the outside of the building and is just waiting for Tony to get to the bottom floor.
He takes a few precious seconds to get his breathing under control, then makes the gestures to call the Mark 42 to him and considers his options. One floor down there's a skywalk to the next building. Plus maybe he can find an apartment that's unlocked. Tony heads down.]
