“I mean, I guess it’s cool,” Tony mumbled, raising his glass and taking a sip before setting it back down with a sigh. “See, I know I’m all about technology, but… I just don’t get e-books. I’d rather have it in my hand, y’know?” He shrugged in response. “I’ll remember that.”

Raising the glass to his lips, Tony took a big swig before swallowing slowly. He then grabbed a tablet and tapped a few buttons to turn the music off. “Sorry that’s it’s not all swing music anymore, Captain. You’ll learn about real music some day.”

He’s currently napping at his desk. Please don’t disturb him. It’s the first time he’s slept in the past three days.

Reclining into his chair, Tony let out a sigh in response. “Maybe one day you’ll appreciate it more.”

Currently on a late night fly around the city. He needs to clear his head.

Fingers rub tired eyes. The billionaire’s pupils burn, and he lets out a hiss of pain as he walks out of his lab. …. maybe working all night wasn’t a good idea.

He can’t even stop the chuckle that leaves him, folding his hands behind his head as he reclines. “You’re so stubborn, aren’t ya?”

“This time, you mean.” He had to get that jab in there, didn’t he? He followed it up with a smile, trying to show he meant no offense by it. “So, what brings you to my workshop anyway?”

Tony would’ve taken it the wrong way any other day. ‘Like Ultron,’ he would say, knowing it would just start an argument. But today was different. Instead, he just nodded and turned back in his chair. “If you really need to know, I’m trying to enhance the Quinjet.”

Good morning, indeed. How has one of the smartest women in the world been lately?

Everyone’s favorite Avenger has returned.

He’s been doing quite good as well. Sleep… hasn’t really been the best, but it’s getting there.

Yeah. It’s the superhero thing and… a couple other things. But he’s getting by. How are things with the family?

Is it cocky if he can back it up?

Boom.

Okay, fine. He may not be “everyone’s” favorite, but he’s the most popular. There.

At least they can agree on that.

The faceplate of his helmet rose, revealing Tony’s grin as he walked up to her. “Don’t you think? Makes it look a bit more… badass.”

The answer is yes.

The wizard? Really?
