:< Cassie! He'll feel bad that he's disappointing her just like he does everyone, but at the same time he's strongly questioning his own purpose and how much that matters. If she's upset, though, that will probably help kick him into shape. He will regret the slip deeply, and regret it more for everyone else. Now that she's around and they can hang out again, it might help to keep him going in the right direction instead of flailing.
Damian. Tony thinks of Damian amusingly as the disembodied voice in his head. He has a lot to say (or type), but he doesn't come out face to face, which on one hand makes Tony inclined to dismiss him because his view is that's too distant to really understand people, and on the other hand makes him curious to find out who is on the other side of the console. He thinks Damian has good ideas, but the industrialist in him says that those ideas aren't worth as much unless they can be applied, and that they can't be applied unless he gets in directly and does things hands-on. He's been busy with other people, but the potential for poking (and maybe provoking) Damian with this is still there. He's looking for the right timing.
BUCKY NO. Bucky is Steve's friend and therefore clearly able to hold his own against evils and magic and the like! Tony assumes pretty much that Bucky's distancing himself was largely in response to losing Steve, which he can totally understand. But after the grieving period, he's probably going to expect Bucky to get back on the proverbial horse. He can't imagine him not being an Avenger, so regardless of their situation that is what he's treating him as. He would probably give him a stern talking to if he found out that Bucky only thought of himself as cannon fodder.
