"So, you need me to come up with something, just in case," he concludes.
Of course, now that Tony's asked, he's drawing a complete and total blank -- or at least not able to come up with anything that doesn't have some remote possibility of being a thing. He could use his father's name, for example, but plenty of people are named Jack. He could pick some legal term, for another, but he's thrown handfuls of legal jargon at Clint over the comms, before, in pursuit of being a smart ass. And so on and so forth.
It takes him a long time to finally suggest, "Ives." A pause follows, that said, and then he explains, "Patron saint of honest lawyers."
