 I am not cleaning up after him in a dozen different 'realities', no matter how much trouble he's got himself into.

Does saying that sort of thing out loud ever actually work for you?

Sometimes I like to play pretend in my own head.

[worldsgreatestmarksman]

And does it help?

[clipboard]

Hardly ever.

Give it up, Pepper. We're doomed to be his nannies for the rest of our lives.

Is it worse that he needs one or we're willing to stick around?

[bromachine]

It wouldn't be Tony if he didn't need one. Maybe now that he's got this...team or whatever, we can catch a break.

Wishful thinking? I'll join you on that.

Good, that was good. Now take a deep breath, look into the mirror, and say it again.

Maybe if you click your heels three times too.

You can laugh but you're going to have to pull your weight keeping him in line too, now. He's latched on to you, Bruce. Accept your fate.

[Keep him in line? Bruce thinks it's far more likely Tony will help Bruce indulge in his rebellious tendencies, which means he wrinkles his nose up and sounds a little snotty.]

You're not my mom. You can't tell me what to do.

[clipboard]

I assure you, I can.

[greenisnteasy]

[His expression cracks into a smile.]

Okay, okay. I solemnly swear we'll only get up to moderate amounts of no-good.

[geniusnotclever]

Wouldn't you miss my ever glowing presence and my sparkling personality?

[clipboard]

... Tony? Oh my God, what did you do?

[geniusnotclever]

Do to myself? What do you mea--oh, right. I take it you guys haven't knock knock knocked on different universes yet? Because if you think I'm weird, there's a version that puts Dr. No to shame.

You've my sympathies, ma'am.

Thank you, Captain Rogers. It means a lot.
