Tony is ever so thrilled about this AU. Really!
You actually did it. The running gag. The dumb joke among people already way below me in IQ, the fandom cliche that actually doesn't seem to be done enough to be a cliche, and you threw in a Twilight joke right in the username. And I can't drink alcohol anymore so I can't just get face deep in vodka unless this isn't a thing anymore.
But you know what? You don't have to be a genius - and I've seen your grades, you aren't - to know this won't go anywhere. Go ahead and post to all the memes you want. Tag people. See if you get any responses. The thing about trying to make a joke into an actual character is that nobody is interested but the people in on the joke, and none of them RP.
...or at least I hope so. Because if I have to seriously endure the ridicule from the entire team, renewed tension with Steve and more rockiness in my relationship with Pepper? I will get into your head and make your relive failing your Biology final every night you sleep from now until you delete this account.

It sounds like you did get lucky. We'd figure something out if that could possibly happen but I'm glad it's something we don't have to worry about.
She's probably right. Anyone that's different becomes a target if people are afraid or feel like they're weak. Being a food source would set off a war before the clans had any chance of explaining. [He probably should be just as wary but systematically wiping out humans seemed like a foolish goal for vampires.]
I dunno about everyone else, but considering my teammates and what's I've seen over the years, vampires aren't that strange.
[Gasoline? Steve and some of the doctors had tested different substances to see if he could get drunk but that wasn't something that he'd want to try.] I think we both should pass on something with that much kick.
Bruce isn't the only one you know who's type O. Figured you already knew mine since you had access to my files.

I wish it wasn't that way. I'm a scientist, I don't see being people as being a species thing. All the hiding and the fear must get exhausting. I'm already tired of it and I'm not even a week in.
[Tony goes quiet at the offer to, well, to feed off of Steve. His first reaction to try and make up some kind of argument against it on the basis of the serum, but the serum probably isn't something that can be transferred. Really, what bothers him is the intimacy of it, not the logistics. Getting close to people emotionally is something Tony sucks at that is forced by the situation, and he's not sure he can deal with it. It's a big step up in their friendship.]
...you don't have to do that for me, Steve. I don't want to use you like that.
Did you know Steve is type O? XD
I don't see it that way either, but you know how easy it is for hate to cloud people's judgement. People were isolated and killed just for being different or looking like the enemy. I'd hoped that things would've changed by now but it still happens.
[Steve knows what he suggested is important and Tony has to come to terms with it. If Tony had felt that strongly about that encounter then he has to be careful even if the suggestion is one he has no intentions of taking back.]
You wouldn't be using me since I'm offering. It'd be helping a friend and there's nothing wrong with accepting that help if you want it.
No, it's legitimately what Ventrue have to drink in World Of Darkness canon. I had no idea.
[Tony adds very, very quietly,] I'm not responsible enough for this shit.
I checked MCU canon and is his blood type. Odd coincidence. Steve is tasty to vampires XD
I know that and I'm still offering to help. It doesn't have to change things in a bad way if we both know what we're getting into.
[Pausing, he remembers something that had been the notes from Project Rebirth. Tony could be right about what the doctor had done.]
Maybe Doctor Erskine did make me vampire proof. One of the traits he wanted strengthened by the serum was resistance to mind control.
[His expression turns sad and thoughtful as he considers what Tony's going to be going through.]
If you weren't responsible enough for this you wouldn't be trying to talk me out of it or thinking of the safety of the people you might - uh - drink from.
I wonder if Marvel's ever considered doing a Captain America: Vampire Hunter spin off. I'd read it.
Well, the Camarilla was in place in Europe at the time, but it was harder for them to enforce laws on vampires like they do now. He might've met one, or had an encounter that didn't get recorded by history. I can see not mentioning it to anyone since, you know, that would make him look more than a little like a madman to people not in the know.
I freaked out so hard over the one guy I did drink from I'm not sure how I'll get through this. I don't like knowing I can just cripple someone like that and it's so easy. I can hurt people. I can kill people. That's messed up. This whole thing is messed up.
