You know what to do.

I can respect some well-meaning vigilantism.

[ It would be pretty hypocritical otherwise, all things considered. ]

Though, personally, I wouldn't wanna maintain extensive cybernetics if I were fighting off cartoonish villains on the regular. Sounds exhausting.

[ milly can't help but beam. vigilanteism isn't strictly condoned, but CONDOR tends to look the other way unless something really disastrous happens. she might be in the training program, but it's not for lack of experience. ]

I mean, they'd need maintenance whether I was superheroing or not. [ buuuuut...it definitely ramps up the frequency of dents and dings and necessary repairs. ] But my dad does most of the work, and he's never been a big fan of my caped career, but he doesn't ever complain about the work. He says it's good research.

[ she keeps her voice bright, but a frown flickers momentarily on her face. her dad is kind of weird about it sometimes. ]

I seem to have lost a week on ice, Anthony. Would it be too much to hope that no one has started a galactic incident in that short span of time?

nice of you to join us

[ Tony'd had JARVIS put a flag on most people from home, so that he'd be alerted if their status changed in the directory. It occurs to him now, even if Medusa isn't technically from home - he should probably put one down for her as well. ]

will it make you feel better if i tell you we didn't start it?
technically

I am beginning to lose patience with getting shuttled around against my will.

[ Self-control is to be lauded here. She didn't destroy the cryo-chamber in a fit of temper when she got out of it. ]

Technically in my vast experience that's unlikely to improve the outcome, so no. It probably will not.

you and me both
here's some cliffnotes for your enjoyment

[ Shortly after the message arrives, she receives a plain text copy of the ominous missive the Caducans had sent along a few days prior. ]

[ Well. She would have preferred to continue being wrong about this. She's survived too many wars not to be able to connect the dots and see the whole unpleasant picture. ]

It was only a matter of time. Interesting that they're bothering to issue a warning, if you could call it that.

[ Being right about everyone's absurdity is a shitty burden to bear. ]

and nine whole days to get our shit together, at that
i'm gathering intel, offense and defense are doing their team-y things, negotiations is preparing a valiant and futile plan of not-attack
oh, and Banner tried to give himself up, so he's on house arrest

[ So, potentially mad scientist dad experimenting on his kid? He's putting it down as "probably". ]

Yeah, well, hopefully there won't be much here that requires more than the occasional tune-up. Think of it as a vacation?

[ He says, a scarce week or two before everything goes to shit. Whatever.

He makes a vague gesture towards her arm. ]

It would be pointless to pretend I'm not curious.

Nine days is an exceedingly long time given what they've come to do. Or what they say they've come to do. And they're months late. Do you know what I would have done in their position? It would not involve a warning. I would not grant anyone I intended to fully crush under my heel nine days to prepare counter measures.

no kidding
remind me not to get on your bad side

[ /LAUGHTRACK ]

i'm told they're just real honorable, stand-up folks, but i'm disinclined to buy into that when they're threatening to wage total war on a ship of people who mostly weren't even around for that fiasco

[ Is he salty about being dragged into this, yes, yes he is. ]

GENEROUS OF YOU
KEEP YOU POSTED
SHALL I

[ Tony doesn't trust any of this at all, of course, but as with anything framed even somewhat like a challenge, he's all in. It could be fun if nothing else, and if he gives some network security guy somewhere a headache, that's just an added bonus. ]

say how good are you in chemistry?

invented a new element in my basement one time
you got something in mind?

[Ah. Show off. You know, just saying 'good enough' would've been sufficient.]
well darling. im sure youve noticed by now that the bar is gone. which is unfortunately especially when the place was so popular among the crew. and i'm not ready for retirement just yet. so would you be up to start a little project with me? all i need is some spirits and i can provide everything else.

Edited 2016-07-05 22:55 (UTC)

[ Get used to it, dear. ]

a little prison yard moonshine operation, in other words?

count me in
there are way too damn many of us in this tin can for there to be no booze

ha. if you want to call it that then sure but excellent. i knew i could trust you on this. ;) how fast does it take to get the first batch ready??

you're an armor guy? fix armor? build armor? armor and other various fixey useful things, right?

these are all rhetorical to start the conversation without being too awkward.

depends
how edible do you want it to be?

yes yes yes and yes

but if it makes you feel better
i think you and i skipped past awkward a long time ago
what's up?

can you build dog armor? or "stop glass from hurting dog" special machine.

not a joke. for once.

what, Kitty doesn't like feet full of glass shards?
i can't imagine why

what can i say he's spoiled.

and also heavy and carrying him around is probably going to end up with all of my ribs organs crushed

If you earn my enmity you can rest assured it will not remain a secret for long.

[ Haha, the Inhumans and their tendency to crush all their enemies like little bugs when they get pissed off. ]

Honorable? What does that mean? Honorable by whose standards? This is not Earth. This is not New York or New Attilan. We don't know these people or their customs. What's honorable to the Kree is not honorable to humanity or Inhumanity.

[ milly looks down at her arm, curling her fingers -- fingers that look totally normal, unless you're looking very, very hard. she presses her lips together, not quite frowning. ]

It's like I said. I was in an accent when I was a little kid. I was seven. My father's a cyberneticist. Kind of a big one. [ the "net worth in more digits than a phone number" kind of big. ] He's head of Mintaka Industries...not that the name would mean anything to you.

[ she flexes her fingers again. ]

There were these robotic aliens in LA -- Cybertronians. There're a bunch of them on the ship, you'd have to be blind to miss them. Anyway, they transform, just like my hand. My dad worked with some of them and got a bunch of new research data out of it, so...voila. Transforming gun hand. Oh, and he overhauled my whole fuel system based on their physiology. Bye-bye power cells, hello energon. Pretty neat, huh?

[ it would have been neater if he told her he was going to do any of this before he did it. ]
