Lab Beneath Stark Industries, Sunday Afternoon

The War Machine armor had taken a significant enough hit in a fight that Rhodey wasn't able to patch it up on his own. Which was annoying on a few levels for Tony. One, that Rhodey could have gotten hurt. Another that Tony should have been there to help him.

Tony made a face, rereading the assessment of the damage for a third time before starting to get some tools together.

"JARVIS, has the lab in East Village been touched?"

"No, sir. Shall I inform Lieutenant colonel Rhodes of your plan?"

Tony grinned up at the ceiling. "You know me so well, sweetheart. Tell him I'll be there within the hour. Help him shake any tails if you'd be so kind."

[Expecting one, but open before!]

"You don't have to," Bucky replied, but he still stopped buttoning his shirt for now.

Look, the blood wasn't his idea of a good time.

Tony shot him a look like it clearly some huge imposition. "It might have some engine grease stains on it," he warned, finding where he'd stashed his change of clothing there.

It was a Queen shirt that looked well worn.

"This one has blood," Bucky retorted, shaking his head. "At least engine grease didn't come out of anyone's body."
imafuturist: (Default)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...that was true. Although, maybe Ultron?

"Correct," Tony granted him. "It just came from the armor."
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-09 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's enough unlike a body for me."

He held out a hand for the shirt.

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-09 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Agreed," Tony said, nodding and holding it out to him. "Keep it if you like it. I have plenty."

The fancy suits, on the other hand... short order.

"Thanks."

He took the shirt, and pulled it on. Looked positively modern, didn't he? He also had no idea which queen the shirt was referring to.

"This isn't really what I expected from this trip."
imafuturist: (oh god you can't be this dumb)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-09 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not what I expected either. I expected a trip to get pizza and... repairing Rhodey's armor." And less blood. Way less blood.

"And not so many lizard people?" Bucky filled in.
imafuturist: (reading the news)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-09 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a dearth of lizard people in this plan," Tony assured him. "Oddly enough."
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-10 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe that's a flaw you need to fix for next time, huh?"

That was pretty dry. Brooklyn bred sass.
imafuturist: (let me explain this science)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lizard people in the East Village will definitely go into the plan next time," Tony said with a quick grin. "That sort of thing never happens in Manhattan."

Bucky snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Just get me back to Fandom in one piece, pal."
imafuturist: (working on my science)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Now? Otherwise, you can stick around for Rhodey."

Who could never know that Tony was in more shit now.
shapethecentury: ([neu] strut)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-10 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
A shrug.

"At this point? I don't know if I care."

He was pretty sure things wouldn't turn as exciting as they had before, again. Pretty sure. (He had no way of knowing, so he was going by some twisted law of averages.)
imafuturist: (talking at you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Tony glanced up as an alarm went off.

"Lieutenant colonel Rhodes has arrived, sir," JARVIS chimed in.

"Lead him down, sweetheart."
shapethecentury: ([neu] look at how dashing i am)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-10 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lieutenant colonel?" Bucky asked, rhetoriically for the most part. "This someone I should salute?"

Wouldn't be too long now before that became a reflex.
imafuturist: (I thought it went well!)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Rhodey?" Tony looked completely confused by that before shaking his head. "No. You... don't have issues with black people, right?"
shapethecentury: ([neu] mmm nah)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-10 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Bucky shot him a mildly offended look.

That was really enogh of an answer. But just to make it clear: "No."
imafuturist: (listening to you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Tony held his hands up in surrender. "The past is weird. So is the present, of course..."

[identity profile] imawarmachine.livejournal.com 2016-10-10 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The present featured people flying in suits of armor. So. There was that.

The ceiling opened up to allow War Machine to land across from them in the lab. "...did you get into a fight?"
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-10 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that was one way to make an entrance.

Bucky said nothing. It was not because he was staring, honest, because he wasn't staring. Much.
imafuturist: (so smirky)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Rhodey! No, no, of course not," Tony said like someone in the room wasn't sporting a bandage and he didn't have rapidly blooming bruises on the side of his face.

[identity profile] imawarmachine.livejournal.com 2016-10-10 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The armor settled into place, peeling away from him so he could step out and leave it standing where it was. He spared Bucky a look like he was trying to place where he knew him from before making for Tony to investigate those bruises like the mother hen he was.

"Christ, Tones. I can't leave you alone for five minutes." He glanced back at Barnes again. "Who's your friend."
imafuturist: (oh god you can't be this dumb)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-10-10 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bucky Barnes?" Tony offered, trying to express how fucked up his life was with an awkward smile as Rhodey manhandled his face to look at the damage done. "Meet Rhodey."
