Tony stares at him for a long moment before taking a deep breath and shaking his head. "You're actually the second person who's turned me down in order to take care of their home turf." Not that he hadn't been proud of Peter for doing that, or that he could blame Barry for not wanting to leave his team. He'd seen the way they'd gathered around him afterwards. Remembers when he'd been part of a team like that. "This better not be a pattern."

"I'd offer your friend Cisco a job as well, but something tells me he'd have the same answer you do." He doesn't exactly look that put out by that. Barry has his team and his city. Tony has his own. "But I'm not going to turn down the opportunity to consult with either of you as needed."

He holds out his hand. "Deal."
