ataraxion | mark iii suit ❦ [ text + two encyptions ]

we might have a problem.

[ normally tony wouldn't bring this up at all, but creepy red smile thing is really fucking creepy and this is some shit out of a horror film. ]

not a demon problem, because unless i'm wrong winchester and the angel thing have that dealt with. was going to mention this before that came up, but not all of us can split our attention between two things. actually most of you can't. right, though, problem of the ship variety.

[ and then an attachment entitled i am a smile and i am creepy is sent to everyone's device. ]

i know what you're going to say, tony you made the creepy smiling thing mad. you're going to get us all killed. no, i'm not. what i did was discover something kind of important. the good ship tranquility is watching us. and as much as i'm cool with being watched, kind of want to know who the fuck is watching me on this huge ship. weirdly enough.

i know you two are watching everything. what do you say about this?

[ finally tony adjusts his device to video and if they pay attention, they see that he's in his suit. it's a bit of a way to intimidate them, but he's not going to come right out and say it. ]

Okay, whatever, you two are in charge along with Kirk. I don't care, if that's one of you two, I want to know. Everyone does, but I'm the one who asked the questions and got the answer so I get the first answer.

[ w e l p. SORRY PEPPER. ]

I talked to it. To be fair, not the only person who did. Bacon boy flirted with it and Aberdeen... was Aberdeen to it.

If it's a person, I might blow it up. It's creepy, you have to admit that.

[all the facepalm]

Yes, but they're not you. Look. Try not to blow up the ship, okay?

No, Aberdeen is me in a body of a girl who looks like a punk.

I'm not- I'm not planning on it. We're both still on here with no way off that we can control. You think I'd blow it up without a backup plan?

Ah. I see. Does she talk a lot?

[she sighs]

I know that, Tony. But you do tend to make a mess when you break out the suit.

Nope. Barley speaks. And when she does she you know, is weird about it. I like her. Can we keep her?

[ he shrugs. ]

Not always. Not when...mostly sober.

I won't shoot anything?

I think I like her already. You know we don't keep people, but I think I can make an exception.

[mustn't smile pepper, mustn't smile. why are you looking like such a puppy, tony?]

Promise?

I'm going to pretend you don't just like her because she barely speaks. That hurts, really. I'll introduce you soon. There probably needs to be a buffer or something between her and you. Just in case.

[ come on, pepper, smile. who can resist smiling at that. ]

See if I promise and then I end up having to shoot something you're going to call me out on breaking it. I'm going end up losing in this.

[there's a smile]

I like her because having two very talkative people in my ear at all times would give me a headache. [a nod] I look forward to it. she huffs]

Well, only shoot it if it shoots at you first. We're in a tin can here. You do tend to be messy.

She wouldn't be around at all times. She's got a thing she hangs around. And other people she talks to. And you've dealt with a lot of talkative people talking all at once. [ a beat. ] We'd just need to get you a lot aspirin.

I know we're in the tin can. I was even careful while flying. You should be proud of me. There's maybe one, two dents tops in the ship because of me. I was minimally messy.

But not two Tonys talking at once, Tony. That might be a bit much.

[she breathes in through her nose]

I'm always proud of you, Tony. Even when you upset me.

We wouldn't do at once. Alternate. She'll say Potts and I'll say Pepper and it'll be at different times. We might even talk about different things.

[ tony just looks at pepper for a moment before looking down. ]

It's why I keep you around. Beyond knowing my things- I guess. Yeah. [ god this whole talking about feelings thing is so hard. ]

I think I can cope, Tony. I've kept up with you for years.

[She smiles]

I know, Tony.

You've done a good job with it too. Feel like everyone should know that. Maybe deserve a medal or something.

[ he rubs at his neck. ]

That's- do you wanna meet me in the kitchen later? To eat maybe. I might not actually take three hours making an omlette this time.

You know, a compliment from you is better than a medal.

[Usually, you're so smooth with women, Tony. Have her smiling at you. So adorable.]

That sounds wonderful, Tony, thank you. And not burned?

You know, I won't even doubt that. It's a titanium medal that clearly ranks above a gold one.

[ yes, but oh come on pepper this is hard work, okay. very very hard work. you're you. ]

I can't guarantee that. Let's go for it might be slightly singed. Edible though.
