You have not reached Tony Stark. Clearly. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I feel like it.

buildsomething: (...what?)

[One of Tony's eyebrows lifts slightly at the blank look he's getting. So apparently this is one of those things that didn't go quite the same. Interesting.]

I don't know, Fury? Whoever was in charge of fancy project names? It was in place before I ever got involved. Apparently.

[Lord only knew what Fury had been intending to do with it.]
livingsymbol: ([S] This is fine.)

[Yeah, things are definitely different. Steve is realizing just how different too, with the way Tony treats the Avengers like someone else's project.]

That doesn't make sense. I couldn't imagine the Avengers existing without you. And with or without SHIELD, they still belong to us first.
buildsomething: (any more bad ideas?)

[Tony pauses like he's not entirely sure what to make of that, then shakes his head a little.]

There is no SHIELD anymore, technically, so moot point now. It's just...different, for us, I guess. Different worlds.

[Imagine that. There's a certain amount of wryness to his tone, but he is slowly coming to realize just how different they really are.]
livingsymbol: ([S] Everything the light touches...)

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2018-07-28 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Different worlds. Different people.

But the problems don't sound so different from here.

[And now that he's not going through a knee-jerk defense, he's starting to realize what that really means.]

SHIELD is still going strong in my world. In fact, it was going too strong. A lot of conflict had been kicked up recently, with the Avengers falling apart and superhumans being put in the spotlight for problems that they weren't necessarily the cause of. And the government decided they needed someone to be the scapegoat. That was going to be everyone that was potentially dangerous. Kids. Civilians. People with families who just found out how different their lives were going to be.

Tony, he was helping them enforce registration. Keeping tabs on everyone whether they had a history or not. I'm sure you can guess why I didn't agree with that.

[There's still that hard note in his voice, but it doesn't become anger or accusation this time.]

But maybe if we'd talked, if we'd stopped fighting for long enough, things would have turned out different.
buildsomething: (something isn't right)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2018-07-28 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[ There's a slight edge to the word that says Tony wishes he knew. He'd tried, god knew he'd tried, but apparently they were just destined to fight in every universe. He honestly can't tell if that's a relief or not. That it's not just his failure. ]

I mean, the fight was more complicated than that. But yeah. Maybe.
livingsymbol: ([Cap] Honestly I've seen bigger.)

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2018-08-02 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's always more complicated than we want it to be. But maybe we should be trying that much harder to remember why we started this in the first place.

I guess I don't know about your world, but it sounds like if SHIELD and everything else is coming apart, then what you need is friends to rely on. Someone to help, because we all need a hand. Even if you fight, I'm sure you still have that in common.
buildsomething: (solemn)

[ It startles a laugh out of Tony, but there isn't much humor in the sound. ]

Yeah. It'd be nice.

[ But it sounds more tired than bitter. He does know Steve would be there if he needed him, the man has said as much. It's just...hard to remember sometimes, in the mess of everything else that had gone on. ]

Anyway. I'm sure you don't need to hear me bitch about it any more.
livingsymbol: ([S] But sometimes I like it too much.)

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2018-08-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ The laugh is sharp, but Steve doesn't flinch or draw back from the way Tony takes it. There is a lot hanging between him and the rest of the Avengers, so Steve can't really hold it against him. ]

I don't mind. Sounds like you needed to clear the air.
buildsomething: (no really)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2018-08-15 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[ He considers it for a moment, then shakes his head. ]

But, no offense, you're not really the one I need to clear it with. Much as I appreciate the ear.
livingsymbol: ([S] No I don't want no scrub.)

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2018-08-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not.

[ He pats Tony on the shoulder. ]

But you'll work it out with him. I have faith in you.
buildsomething: (...what?)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2018-08-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ It earns a slightly owlish blink, Tony clearly not sure what to make of that. ]

Thanks. I think.
