THIS SHOULD BE REAL

[gotoagent]

No. This is not real and you need to stop showing it to every one.

Comments

[gotoagent]

I was wondering when you would be commenting, Mr. Stark.

[hotredhero]

What? Am I getting predictable?

I could send you a letter next time. Make it more of a surprise.

[gotoagent]

Do you know where your local post office is, Mr. Stark?

[hotredhero]

...

I could have Pepper send you a letter next time.

[gotoagent]

(Cracks a small smile.)

How is she doing?

[hotredhero]

She's good. Taking care of things like always. Sometimes I think she wants to be married to her work.

Kind of like you, but with less... [He pauses, then covers his eye with one hand.]

[gotoagent]

Mr. Stark, I have a job that I am very good at and am invested in. I trust you can know how different Ms. Potts and I are in that regard.

[hotredhero]

Hey, now that isn't fair.

Miss Potts is always very good at her job. And she controls the investments, so, really, she's invested in all of it.

[gotoagent]

[that gets a little grin.]

Humorous as always, Mr. Stark.

[hotredhero]

I do my best.

You look good. You know... for a suit.

[gotoagent]

You mean since I'm not dead?

[hotredhero]

That wasn't really what I was going for, but... yeah. If you're going to say it.

[gotoagent]

It seems to be the big elephant in the room lately.

[hotredhero]

Can't really blame everyone for not wanting to talk about it. How do you really talk to a dead guy?

[gotoagent]

You could offer me a drink and tell me all about how the Avengers came together and saved the day. (It was a kind of kinder smile from Phil there.)

[hotredhero]

[What? But he doesn't want to talk about that. Come on, just let him make a joke and skirt it.]

...Scotch?

[gotoagent]

[Raises an eyebrow]

What? I don't really drink. What should I have?
