joining the inevitable wave of mcu characters

[biggun]

Really? Out of all that, you're upset about the robots? Did you see any of the rest of it? Like the end? They'll be fine.

[Sigh.]

And yes, I was pretty badass. It's in my job description. Flattery won't get you anywhere, but if you could spruce this journal up and get some new icons, that'd be nice. Something to go with the new paint job, you know?

My mundane didn't think you had it in you, Rhodey. Glad you proved her wrong.

[biggun]

I'm glad I set the record straight. You doing all right after all that?

[tearsofjoy]

Yes, doing really well actually. That was probably the most thrilling thing to happen to me since well, the expo.

[biggun]

For all our sakes, I hope it doesn't get more thrilling than that.

[It might be a futile hope, given their line of work.]

[tearsofjoy]

If only. [A pause.] I highly doubt it. If we're lucky, we'll get a really, really long period of silence.

[hulkish]

I, uh, heard all about it. [ he wasn't asleep the entire time. ] Saved the President, huh? That's gonna look good on a resume.

[biggun]

Just doing my duty. So Tony talked to you about it?

[hulkish]

Yeah. Extremis, the Mandarin, Killian — he told me pretty much everything.

[biggun]

Did anything weird happen while you guys were talking about it?

[hulkish]

[ grimaces. ] Besides me falling asleep near the end? Not... not really.

[ a pause. ]

Tony, he — seemed more serious than I've ever heard him. Reflective.

[biggun]

[He chuckles.] He's quite the talker.

New York left an impression on him. It's... different. [He sounds unsure.]
