This isn't 100% where I wanted to go with it, but.  It's hard for me to write about.

         “I can’t!” Xander screams, catching them all off guard.
         He can feel the confusion of the Tonys in his head.  He’s overreacting, he knows.  They’re probably correct that he should learn to do some of this stuff on his own.  Can’t be holding them back like this, right?
         In his mind, he feels Tony kneel down.  “Xander.  What’s wrong?”
         “I don’t—I can’t—” he stutters, and feels himself start to cry.
         It only takes Tony a few moments to realize the source of the hysteria.  He’s had a few moments like this himself.  “I don’t care what Harris says.  His assessments are as useful as Howard’s.  You’re not inadequate or hopeless or anything like that.  Sure, you might not be a Stark engineer, but you have a knack for construction, which, yes, involves engineering.”
         Imposter syndrome, Robotony informs them solemnly.
         “Look, you’re better with people than probably all of us combined.  That takes intelligence, too.  And apparently common sense, if you listen to Pepper.  We’re not terrible, not by a long shot, but you understand them.”  Leader Tony wipes away the tears in his mind, even if he can’t do anything about the ones on their cheeks in reality.
