RE: Mun's apparent feelings and connections from AOU to Avengers and IM3.

[irondick]

Okay, you know what. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and just say you are experiencing a complete mental breakdown in the form of, well, me. Totally acceptable, I'm very complex, yadda, yadda. Here's where it's not going to fly, I will not have you call me paranoid and doing everything just because I want to keep Pepper safe.

You also, and I stress this, do not get to make the reference to the fact that Steve told me I'm not the one to make the sacrificial play and how it seems to tie into Ultron. It is not okay, it is so far removed from okay that the very idea that Ultron is me cutting the wire so I don't have to make said play again is going to make me revolt. Because I will. Somehow, probably with a lot of explosions and science involved.

It doesn't matter if it makes sense to you, I don't care if you're getting feelings from thinking about it. Why? Because I don't accept it.

[ Tony's a little miffed over Mun calling his choices unhealthy and all because Pepper. Also because he may actually be right about Steve's comment. ]

You're allowed. To not sacrifice your life. There's nothing wrong with that, Tony.

[irondick]

See, that I knew. [ .... He has yet to ever meet a female Bruce, excuse him while he's a little boggled and sort of staring. ] You look really familiar, have I slept with you and forgot your name?

[incrediblebanner]

[Her lips twitch upward.] You should hope not, because I'm going to be very offended if you did. You wouldn't like me when I'm offended.

[irondick]

[ ... Yeah, he's still pretty sure he slept with you and forgot your name. ]

Then you must have one of those faces, very common, easy to mix up. You know me, clearly, as you know I'm allowed to well, you know, not sacrifice myself for pretty much everyone else - but should I ask if you're a fan? [ Almost said stalker, nice save there Tony. ]

[incrediblebanner]

[See, now you're just digging yourself a hole, Tony. Bryce isn't exactly vain, but she's pretty sure no woman wants to be told her face is common.]

Well, I believe I remember one of us being a fan of the other.

[Toying with him? Maybe. No regrets.]

[irondick]

[ To be fair, he's sort of an asshole and is mildly confused. ]

Okay, so you're a fan of me. Where did we meet? [ He's also an egotistical dick. ] If I didn't sleep with you, that means you were A) admiring from afar, B) deemed not worth the wrath of your partner, which could've been a man or a woman for all I know, I'm not going to assume -- or C) I deemed you too smart to trifle with.

[ Flattery gets Tony everywhere. ]

[incrediblebanner]

[Yeah, the flattery isn't working too well.

She quirks her eyebrows at him.] I never said I was the fan.

[irondick]

[ female bruce has never occurred to him. He's going to get a shock. ]

Well, I'm really only the fan of two people. One's less me being a fan and her being my girlfriend, but the fact remains the same. The other is not you. Unless Bruce Banner decided to, you know, test something without actually going through trials and become a woman. Which while a valid method for some, doesn't work for others.

[incrediblebanner]

I've been known to skip the trial phase before [COUGH], but for this, all I needed was to be born in a slightly different iteration of the universe.

[bootyshortsandtights]

I made an assessment.

I was wrong.

[busdriver]

[Wanting to protect Pepper is a nice motivation. Where Stark really sets himself apart is the catastrophic consequences, but Agent May isn't here to comment on that.]

Your Mun's put a lot of thought into this. [And Muns usually know they're close to something great when their characters start rebelling and complaining.] They have to run with it.
