@milehighmechanic; TONY

“  just tell me why we're here. ”

donna didn't mind networking. she enjoyed it, most of the time. it was a chance to talk to people and they would all be people that more or less had her same goals. she was the new kid on the block, the news of her lotto win not even a year old. the news of her cannonball into philanthropy were less than a month old. that wasn't about to stop her to pushing on through, both in the ways tradition mandated and in her own ways.

tony stark was a businessman, miles beyond her expertise and wealth. but timely done's work in helping refugees and closing the middle-class gap did mean that she heard his name often. surprisingly through talk of his charities. before she became a businessowner, she truly didn't know anything about businesses that weren't in gossip rags. it just wasn't interesting. it wasn't part of her life. so what she knew about tony stark wasn't exactly rose-tinted.

so far, his first impression wasn't at odds with the tabloids.

"d'ya know how difficult it is to get a meeting with you?" as it was, this wasn't much of a meeting. she had secured a tight fifteen-minute window to talk to the highly-in-demand ceo, months and months of waiting until he was due to arrive back in london, and it was grating that he would be so ready to brush off common decency. "the least you could do is greet someone, for god's sake."

she was on a tight window. she wouldn't get her time's worth if she spent it berating and spatting with him. "how much do you care to help the forgotten? i mean, truly forgotten. the ones that haven't got family or government to get them past the day?" she doesn't wait for a reply, pushing through. "i'm trying to help them, and i'd thought that somewhere in your forest i'd be able to get work contracts or training workshops. can't get through though, everything's for schools or prison programs. so i'm coming to the source, because you've got t'know who i need to speak with. you can't be all the way up here without knowing who's running what."

𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐎 𝐀𝐍𝐃 a tilt of head. eyes flit from head to toe of his ally , and then askance towards the vision who floated warily , curiously , around the tower's penthouse. truly a curious being , he was. miraculous , and so very , very different. odd. though then , everything about the artificial intelligence's existence could be described as 'odd'.

thor hummed a low note beneath his breath. ❝  i am not so certain i would have give you the time to string any more words at any rate, ❞ he admitted. he shifted his weight from foot to foot. it was no secret that thor had grown rather CROSS with stark as of late. there was no fate worse than vexing the storm god's tumultuous temper , and leave it to whom thor would wager was earth's greatest enigma to manage it after so many earth years. sidling gaze to meet tony stark's , thor studied him in silence for a good , long moment.

stark was clever and driven. brash and bold. in so many ways , thor found him ADMIRABLE. but he could not bring himself to agree with stark's rationale - his SUIT OF ARMOR AROUND THE WORLD. perhaps he never would. after all , he was as "human" as the vision who ghosted the bar stools , watching flickering city lights and airplane trails from beyond the glass panels.

. . . and still thor could not bring himself to hold fast to such grudges either. the ropes thor held taut to raise the barrier between them HIGH burned red welts into the skin. stark meant well. that , at least , thor could ( begrudgingly ) admit. and what were humans not but emotional creatures ? ( and what was thor , if not still mortal in heart yet ? )

still , thor was careful . prodding . testing .

❝  . . . but the notion of it , i should admit , is admirable. ❞

#(something something between when thor helps bruce and tony superjuice the vision into reality) #(but before they're off to sakovia) #(something something else aou is so NEAT esp where tony and thor are concerned bc one's concerned about hostile aliens coming) #(the other one /is an alien/ like there's something there that 👀 idk it could just be meeeee) #(this is also not to mention thor being the first of the avengers to try and DIP vs. tony asking him to stay like twice like man...) #(anyways you can take this / leave this / jump into dms to plot it's all good 👍 :D ty for sending it in!!!) #( ic . ) — son of odin . the crown is a heavy burden for thee . #( v.03. ) — o' sleeper . #milehighmechanic #non aevum

❛ yeah, i ran away from home. it's whatever. ❜

the kid shrugs, meeting tony straight in the eyes. really though - he's glad things worked out and the guy's ... not totally homeless. also not declared dead. cause that ? would've sucked. though it was nice, even if it'd been for a moment, to have had a secret only harley ( and tony, and jarvis ) would know. in any case, tony looks patched up now, healthier. harley's - glad.

❛ kidding! ❜ he walks pass the old man, straight into the guy's property. uncaring almost - his bag's heavy. ❛ pepper called my mom and said i could come over for spring break. they're good friends now, mom and miss potts. is she around ? is JARVIS ? i wanna say hello. ❜

@milehighmechanic | rafa & tony

He's made himself more or less at home in the quarters Tony had provided for him, but all the luxurious bedding and expensive bedroom decor in the world can only do so much to aid a haunted man's attempt at sleep. So when he finally decides that rest isn't coming for him--not just yet, at least--Rafael grabs a small tool bag and steps quietly out into the hall and heads toward one of the common areas.

It will do him a world of good, he decides, if he leaves the bedroom environment for a while. Just laying there, stewing in exponential frustration while he tosses and turns, will only make things worse.

So after a quick pit stop to the kitchen to grab a snack and a beverage, Rafael walks himself to one of the many available sitting rooms in the tower and drops himself onto a settee that may or may not be pricier than his truck payment had been. Comfortable and with his refreshments close at hand, he removes his leg and upends it, holding the ankle up close to his face to examine the Oscorp branded device--though the logo on the calf has been angrily etched to the point of nigh-unreadability.

Rafael loses track of time. He could have been working on it for a handful of minutes or hours, and regardless, he's surprised to see Tony when the man enters the room.

Immediately, he worries about having woken his host up so late at night--or is it early in the morning?--by traipsing about in a place probably littered with motion sensors and alarms.

"The ankle joint mechanism's been giving me grief," he explains, an apology unspoken in his tone of voice. "Couldn't sleep. Figured I'd mess with it."

He knows Tony could fix it just as well as he knows that Tony could fabricate him something miles upon miles better. But he doesn't ask, and his hand moves itself to cover what's left of the logo, though it's foolhardy.

Stark knows where he'd been treated. He just doesn't know the details of how he'd been treated. Not really.

"Is it okay that I'm-- This is a common area, yeah?"

bucky && tony

they had a . . . strange relationship him and @milehighmechanic . . . he didn't really know how to quantify it . he didn't really know what to do with it . so bucky chose not to do anything . doing nothing was a decision too ; sometimes it felt like everyone around him forgot that .

“ are you saying we can’t talk? ”

one eye opened ,    the metal arm that had folded across his face lifting to look at tony . "     what'd'ya wanna talk about ? "       he was a man who existed on naps these days but could not sleep when it was dark . outside the wide expanse of glass it was pitch black but with the lights too bright to see the stars it only served to set bucky's nerves on edge . at least it was better when the darkness was outside . which was how he ended up in a brightly lit common room , to see if he could trick his body into believing it was day .

he couldn't .

and he wasn't alone . seems like insomnia was somewhat catching .    " campfire stories ? ghost stories? " how i killed your parents. " i think we have enough of them , don' we ? "

tick tick boom !

@milehighmechanic​.

Tony's pacing. Tony's stressed out of his mind. Tony has more than enough bullshit to deal with without an actual fucking wizard spouting more of it. He stops in his tracks, turns to face the other man. Unimpressed.

“That's your solution, huh? Life will find a way. Did you get that from a hallmark movie?”

Deep breath, Stark. If you have an aneurysm, that’s no doubt another thing the good doctor will have a pithy remark about. Isn’t he meant to be a neurosurgeon too? Maybe if he is going to have an aneurysm, now is the best time.

Except for the part where they’re probably all going to die anyway. “Can we stick to constructive solutions? A bit of focusing on the problem? Maybe?”

‘ have you never seen jurassic park? ’

stark is prehistoric, in a way. he’s, what, in his fifties? pushing? stephen thought he’d be all over it.

maybe having gone through iterations of himself across on-acid alternate realities ground him into an amalgamation of the most extreme of each. it doesn’t help that he’s, side-effectively, going through a perpetual astral hangover.

he honors that hammering.

‘ stop— vibrating. you don’t die today. ’

hints like this one could jinx all manner of things, but he’s walking the line. just shut up. the junkie intensity of eye contact with stark is uncomfortable.

‘ how long can you hold your breath? ’

and if the very next thing out of your mouth is “why”—

“maybe he did the best that he could do…”

Lost Meme -- @milehighmechanic

Nico shot the demigod a skeptical look. Hades was many things but Nico was very sure he wasn’t father material. Nico couldn’t really tell what that meant nor where the god would fall on the scale from worst to best, but either way, it wasn’t exactly fun being the Lord of the Underworld’s son. But Tony didn’t need to hear Nico complain and he didn’t really think it would help either.

Shifting slightly, he stuffed his hands in his pockets, trying to get a look at what the other was working on. “Have you met Hephaestus before?” he asked, redirecting the topic a little bit and knowing exactly what he was doing as he did it.

[mobiues]

he’s never done this before.   by  this,   mobius meant he’s never had to ever conceal his identity by pretending he’s some curious scholar or press that’s eager for an avenger’s reaction or reply.   especially tony stark whom,  from what mobius remembers from the few times he’s had to prune the man in the past,   is astonishingly easy,  and amusing,  in giving out reactions.   really,   the TVA was never really known for its discretion,  y’know ?

though,  why be discreet when you know you’re gonna reset the timeline right after ?

thankfully they don’t do that anymore,  which should be a good thing,  but it really hinders on things when mobius can’t just waltz in and demand answers and not have that safety net of knowing the guests he’s demanded answers from could go on never remembering he’d came at all.  no.  for all this tony knows,  his world hasn’t been threatened on that massive of a level yet.  let’s keep that up.  no need to cause panic and all that,  right ?   ‘   uh yeah,   i’m here for a one-on-one...?   thought i could pick this century’s best brain for some theories about time and multiple universes.  ’

@milehighmechanic continued from here.

“i don’t know how it works. thanos had this… gauntlet. he seemed to be able to use it with just a thought. a snap of his fingers. it’s----” tony makes a face. “magic isn’t my area.”  but he’s not going to let that stop him. tony thinks amy’s right, that they’re going to want all of them. but that’s a big undertaking---- and they need to be sure.  “maybe we could find someone who knows. there’s gotta be someone else in all of time and space who knows about the stones, right?”  tony gets the feeling that amy’s not so certain about patching him up. which is fair, probably ----- rory was the professional. and a stab wound is a bit beyond most people’s first aid capabilities. “have you got some kind of scanner in here? the one on quill’s ship was in some kind of language i could barely understand.” tony’s fairly sure the blade missed any vital organs, or he’d be dead by now, but it would be helpful to be able to see what he did hit. or whether he just needs antibiotics and bandages and hope for the best.

magic, ugh. but the doctor might spin it, say it's just science, and while he might not be wrong, they're in a phone-box that's bigger on the inside. a man fell from the sky when she was scared of a crack in her wall. the doctor might not believe in magic, but she does.

"maybe." she glances back towards the doorway, almost like she could see the doctor out there, fluttering about the main room and steering the TARDIS to wherever he deems right. and she wonders if he would know, or if her daughter might.

river has to be alive, right? she can't lose her and rory. it wouldn't be fair, but with how often she's lost rory, losing him at all isn't fair.

amy drags her attention back towards his open wound, before she steps away and starts opening cabinets. why hadn't she taken more first aid courses? after that stint with the pirates, she should have taken more than basic life support classes.

she doesn't even know how to stitch up a wound.

panic had begun to claw its way into her chest until he mentions a scanner, and she thinks she might have seen something three cabinets ago. amy backtracks, and she finds it, as well as some kind of wound packing foam rory must have picked up on some planet.

with the scanner tucked under an arm, she walked back towards tony and reads the directions to the wound packing foam. if it weren't for the TARDIS' translation system, she'd be staring, clueless, at a bunch of symbols.

when she reaches him, amy sets the foam to the side and studies the scanner for all of two seconds before powering it in. "if you end up with any radiation burns, this was your idea, and i'm not a nurse."

your story had a pretty rough start and you did some things you're not proud of, but you made the choice to change. i won't go through how important it is to accept responsibility and keep striving to improve or whatever because you know that already. what i think you should know is that your fuel does not need to be shame. you don’t need to stand over the bathroom sink with your blood in your hands until you can no longer make out your reflection. you will look at your face and you will see the person you used to be, but that person no longer exists. today, you are looking, and that makes all the difference.

@milehighmechanic // "Soooooo."

She hovers like someone who is concerned, because she is! And because Xeno and Tony aren't just supposed to, like, just hang out. Without her. Why would Xeno be here if not for hanging out with Julie purposes? This feels kind of unfair, honestly, so it has to be an Emergency.

(It's not as if she introduces Marcus to Tony and then they become best friends, and then MAYBE Xeno to Tony and they COULD become best friends, and luckily Alice doesn't give two hoots about him YET, probably, but, like, fuck! Back off Tony, they're her friends first! Don't you have, like, the Avengers or whatever to be best friends with and not Her Friends That She Cultivated Relationships With Specifically? Anyway, she's not jealous. It's an Emergency. That's it. That has to be why Xeno was here.)

But she is polite, so she waits for things to kind of calm down and for Xeno to be Definitely Gone before she trots after Tony. Her tone is very conversational. Very casual. (Maybe a little suspicious.)

"Whyyyyyyy was Xeno heeeeeeeere."
