You know what to do.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

I would if I had an amplifier. My prosthetic allows me to play the acoustic just fine. I can even feel the strings.

Though I understand with the resource management and the recent difficulties with the Ingress it might be impossible.

[ For the first time, Tony attempts to contemplate Fury as anything but an immovable, immortal pain in the ass. Ditto Cap and Nat, for that matter.

He can't say he likes the train of thought. ]

Unsurprisingly, no. But something tells me that was HYDRA's "asset".

[ All he can do is nod confirmation on that. ]

Not many knew about him, and those who did are dead. [ Except for a random few, and there's a subtle shift in his stance so that he's between Tony and the door, eyes on him but something hollow in the way he looks forward. Recalling all of those files, the information that no one should learn and no one should have ever had to experience. ] After we stopped Pierce, I went after him. But not for the reasons you think. [ There's so much more than that, and it feels like he's right back in the hospital after waking up from nearly drowning in the Potomac, the conviction to find him no matter what the cost burning strong. Now, it's about protecting him and doing what's right. What he should have done when he'd read about it. ]

He's my best friend. [ And there's a slight curl to his mouth, almost bittersweet. ] I'm sure you know that story.

[ For a moment Tony's expression does nothing, which may be more alarming than not. But he slots the pieces into place easily enough, new information clicking with old — Captain America's best friend, infamously lost to the tundra. The Bucky Barnes he's met here, so far removed from anything they were taught about in museums or books, constantly carrying a haunted look around with him.

The way he fought those Caducans, like they were barely even a threat. ]

—Barnes? [ Who else? It's barely a question. ] Jesus...

I dunno. Impossible is kind of my thing.

[ There's a beat of uncharacteristic silence, while he contemplates this scenario. ]

You'd be surprised what can be done when you cannibalize other things. If you, hypothetically, came into some goodies that could be melted down...

I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks.

[He's liking that he can play music again. Just one of the reasons losing his arm had been so damning.]

Anything in particular I should be on the lookout for?

It is not a conversation I want to be having either. But we do not have the luxury of pretending it is not happening, or the privilege of blind optimism that someone else will solve the problem for us.

I suppose even if he is, he wouldn't be forthcoming even with you, and the conversation is destined to give me a headache either way.

I saw Pietro. I was rather taken aback and was unaware no one had told him what happened in Sokovia.

I may have mentioned it to him. [Mentioned isn't that far off the mark, really. There had been THAT little forethought on his part.]

He did not take it well.

You touched something, didn't you?

There was a button that said 'do not touch', and your finger just went right for it.

[ He knows, none of what's happening is Tony's fault. It's just fun to open conversations like this. ]

[ Well, this answers his question about whether his roommate's been affected or not. ]

Okay, lemme stop you right there. If I really did have a "make everyone tiny and suggestible" ray, I absolutely would have pointed it at you first.

Yeah, I love you too, buttercups.

[ Though notice, he doesn't dispute the validity of that claim. ]

Do you have any idea what's happened? Is it the Ingress screwing up again?

While your faith in my genius is appreciated and also totally justified...

Hell if I know. The thing isn't even supposed to be on.

My 'totally justified' faith in your genius just took a direct hit.

[ Not really though. ]

Any ideas what else it could be?

I've seen enough episodes of Star Trek to guess we might be passing through a spacial anomaly that's warping time in heretofore unexplained ways.

[ He throws it out there as a bald-faced joke, blissfully ignorant of how close to the truth it is. ]

[ There is going to be a brief pause as Adrien tries to parse that together, before saying. ]

The only bit of that, which made any sense, was spacial anomaly.

[ Tony holds up both hands in a mock surrender gesture. ]

Hey, you're not about to hear me talk a guy down from some good old fashioned paranoia. If you wanna know what I'm doing with the footage, and wanna personally watch me nuke it when I'm done, by all means.

[ If nothing else, Tony can respect being protective of one's tech, especially when it's attached to your body. ]

The circuitry I can machine myself, and that's the most complex part. Probably.

[ He's never made an amp before, but how hard can it be. He's Tony Stark. Maybe he'll make it shoot fireworks on a particularly sick riff or something. ]

If you can find something made out of a steel alloy that you're not particularly attached to, I'm pretty sure I can work with that.

[He has no idea what he's in for asking Tony Stark for things.]

I'll make sure to grab something next supply stop.

[ If there's something that would earn his respect, it's someone understanding his need to erase as much recorded information about him as possible. Snake grunts in approval and nods.

There's a few more seconds of silence as Stark's AI does its thing (whatever... that is), and then Snake tilts his chin up to meet Tony's eyes. ]

If this works, I guess I'll owe you one.

I do.

[And that's all she says. In 15 or so minutes, Tony will notice a knock on his door. And, upon opening it, he'll see a familiar little girl standing in front of it - leaning slightly on a small cane she's been given.]

Can I come inside?

I could honestly cry about how uncultured all of you swine are.

Well, if I get my way, I'll have my hands on the thing sooner rather than later. That seems like a good place to start.

he would probably be forthcoming with me least of all
but you're right
he's a huge pain in the ass
gigantic
how does anyone deal with this

Your life is suffering. [ Dry, dry, deadpan, dry. ]

You don't think it's the Ingress at fault then? Or, I should say, you don't have any reason to suspect it's the Ingress at fault then?
