saw the avengers ; someone is awake

[privatizedworldpeace]

Yeah -- let's talk about this again, how you only pay attention to me when you're either bored or need something pretty to look at. Because that's not how I roll, alright? I'm not some big shiny billboard kind of superhero that you whip out whenever you feel cold and lonely at night, and that's totally understandable -- you know, that you'd turn to me, not that you feel cold and lonely at night -- but let's cut to the chase here.

I've got plans. Plans that don't include these shenanigans -- whatever shenanigans they might be. And before you think of doing anything dangerous, I need a couple of things. First, scotch. Second, a really big lab. Third, a TV that has all the channels, including the ones in Chinese. Fourth, a new tower.

Because, you know. Aliens tore my name off of my last one.

And just what is so pretty for her to look at?

[privatizedworldpeace]

[ p a u s e ]

Uh --

[And Tony turns slightly, to look behind him, like something is actually there, before he refocuses his attention on Pepper.]

I don't know, the sky?

[ki3t]

Do you speak Chinese?

[ex_pepperoni652]

[She's just going to arch her brow, and put her hands on her hips.]

The sky.

[She says it not as a question. But as she is skeptical of the answer.]

[privatizedworldpeace]

That's not the point.

The point is, I want it.

[privatizedworldpeace]

The sky is gorgeous from this point of view, come on --

[And he slides an arm around her waist to turn her slightly -- though, really, it's just turning her into him, which is the entire point.]

All red and yellow, you can't beat the view.

[ki3t]

That is not much of a point, unless you prefer to read subtitles.

[Maybe he'd been around Mike too much. Maybe people actually did read subtitles instead of declaring it too much work while watching a movie. Food for thought. The car's scanner swept in its dual directions, edges to center and back.]

[ex_pepperoni652]

Pepper doesn't believe Tony, but when he turns her toward his arms and chest, she obliges the unspoken request and leans against Tony.]

I suppose....

[humdrumvee]

... and here I thought you had that realization about being a Diva.

[demigoddess]

So what? If your mun meets your demands you'll be up for shenanigans?

[notpettyandtiny]

Your mun only let's you out when she is unamused? I am sorry, Iron friend.

[purplepants]

You do realize you'll wind up somewhere with no alcohol, no tech and no cable right?

[starkgirlfriday]

The name was a bit much.

[has_an_army]

I rather hope she tosses you into an unfathomable abyss of misery and torture.

[well_assembled]

I thought being viewed as something pretty would appeal to your vanity.

But, as much as I hate to admit it, you really do pull through when it's on the line.

[memylifeandfe]

Hey, seems like your mun and mine have something in common. Except he's even worse at dropping me.

[privatizedworldpeace]

I know, I'm always right.

[Mildly, as he adjusts his weight to allow for Pepper to lean against him. This is much better than dying.]

You didn't pick up your phone.

[privatizedworldpeace]

I'm thinking we should stop talking about my weird liking for Chinese subtitles and start talking about the fact that you're a car.

[privatizedworldpeace]

A diva? Me?

Let's be real, I'm an everyman's man. That's why people like me.

[Everyone has an AI to adjust their shower temperature, right? Right.]

[privatizedworldpeace]

Maybe. My demands are pretty out of this world and I'm very specific about the kinds of shenanigans I can get into.

I'm not a big fan of being arrested.

[privatizedworldpeace]

[SUP ASGARDIAN BRO.]

Iron Man. Although, yeah, we can roll with friends, we're all friends now. Seeing as we're all hip to the jive of this teamwork thing.

And yeah, it's a real laugh riot. I'm in hysterics over here.

That was sarcasm, just so you know.

[privatizedworldpeace]

Wow, how about we try on some optimism, I'm sure they make that in a size fifty-six.

[privatizedworldpeace]

It was insult to the numerous injuries I sustained saving the world.

You'd think they would at least leave my building alone. Aliens have no sense of respect.

[privatizedworldpeace]

Hey. Jackass.

We won.

Stop being such a bitter Betty over there, it's not a good look for you.

[privatizedworldpeace]

Yeah, it's only cute the first dozen times. Then it starts to get objectifying.

[Tony pauses, though.]

-- yeah, well, no one else can fly. So.
