Apartment Above Stark Industries, Monday Morning

[imafuturist]

Well, this weekend had been a thing that happened. So, when Tony woke up this morning he let himself feel embarrassed for everything, groaning as he covered his face with his hands. And of course pictures of himself as a teen had been sent to Rhodey because JARVIS was a traitor like that.

Bastard.

The only good thing to come out of this was the chance to pour the extra Bud Lite Limes down the drain as he cleaned up after his idiotic attempt at a teen party. "You could have a least tried to stop me," he muttered as he watched the offensive 'beer' go down the drain.

"Of course I could have, sir," JARVIS agreed.

Tony just sighed and went to grab a garbage can to continue cleaning.

[open sure!]

There was a slightly sheepish sounding cough from the doorway. "Did I really crash into the punchbowl last night?"

[imafuturist]

Tony held up a shard of glass to assure him it was real. "My mother loved that thing," he said with a sigh. "You okay?"

Maybe he was eyeing Steve in case those bruises were still there. What of it?

[heroic_jawline]

Steve looked absolutely guilt-stricken, but the bruises were gone. "Tony, I'm so sorry. I'll try to replace it."

[imafuturist]

That got Tony to chuckle and shake his head. "Don't worry about it. It's just stuff. I let Barton and Hulk live in my childhood home, I expect a few accidents with the antiques."

[heroic_jawline]

"Yeah, but it's stuff your mom liked," Steve insisted. "That matters."

[imafuturist]

"I have plenty of stuff to remember her by," Tony assured him. "It was just a bowl."

That probably cost an ungodly amount.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve still looked fairly miserable about it. "Well, let me help you clean up, at least."

[imafuturist]

"If you insist."

Tony mostly looked amused at him.

"You're much less angry as an adult," he teased.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve blushed. "Yeah, well, a lot's changed."

[imafuturist]

Which just got a full body laugh out of Tony. "It's okay, I was a complete asshole at that age. Only Rhodey tolerated me."

[heroic_jawline]

"I had Bucky, who by then was already an expert in finding me in alleys," Steve said ruefully.

[imafuturist]

"Only you," Tony replied with a sigh. "Did you at least find a place to sleep?"

[heroic_jawline]

"The park bench, where my righteousness didn't keep me as warm as I was hoping," Steve said.

Hi, Tony. Have a text.

How's the place? It didn't get trashed too badly, did it?

[imafuturist]

Was it so she didn't have to look him in the eye after seeing that terrible hair? Was it?

Least wild party I've thrown in some time. Mostly because there was no Hulk, but still.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

She just didn't want to have to help clean up if it was bad.

Just be glad I was 15. If I had been to FH yet I would have brought glitter.

[imafuturist]

It was okay, Captain America felt guilty about breaking vintage Baccarat. He was set for at least a week of cleaning help.

It would have come out of your paycheck.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Tiny Future-Cap Smash, apparently.

Would've been worth it. Glitter is always worth it.

[imafuturist]

It was just compressed rage to a smaller form. And asthma. And probably some pneumonia.

Glitter is for kindergartners and strippers, Jessica. There is no in between.

And yet he grew up to be so nice and polite once he took a bunch of drugs.

You'd understand if you went to school here.

[imafuturist]

Such a poor message, Marvel. Stop promoting drugs to kids.

Would you still have been a fan of mine?

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

'You can't be more American than a dirty drug user' is what they're basically saying.

A tiny you was one of my classmates. He was pretty great.

Slightly dodging the question there out of slight embarrassment.

[imafuturist]

So much worse than the cannabis type substances. Which, as we know, kills people. Thanks, DARE.

If I find out he bedazzled the armor, I'm retiring from the business.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS ADORABLE, JESS.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Daredevil could be so much worse.

I can neither confirm nor deny.

[imafuturist]

As I leave the world of weirdos in costumes, I hope to devote my time to eradicating the glitter menace.

It was right up there with Galactus for threat levels.
