Headcanon that Tony is the only Avenger who refuses to even attempt to lift Thor’s hammer, because he’s so goddamn adamant that he is unworthy, he doesn’t even try.
But then one day, when the Avengers are attacked while they’re off duty and Tony doesn’t have his suit, he watches someone take out Steve and aim a gun at his head. Tony feels his blood turn icy and without even thinking about it, he picks up the nearest object in his grasp and hurls it, watching in satisfaction as it collides into the person’s middle and sends them flying.
It’s only when Steve looks over to him with a sort of stunned expression on his face, that Tony realises just what he’d done.
Thor just laughs, and picks up the hammer from where Tony had thrown it, stopping by to pat Tony on the shoulder and whisper “I knew it,” before launching himself into battle once more.
