Someone changed my ringtones again... I can't fix it. Help?

Not a fan of Hanson? I thought their wholesomeness would appeal to you. I'll tell you right now, they are about the closest thing you're going to get to the modern equivalent of the Andrews sisters.

[isntaboutme]

Thanks for that. Next time you want to do me a favor.. don't.

[notasoldier]

I thought people from your time had manners.

[isntaboutme]

[Way to land a guilt trip, Stark.]


..sorry. I think I just made a bit of a fool of myself in front of Natasha about it though.

[notasoldier]

[He'd feel guilty about that guilt trip if his name wasn't Tony Stark.]

You wouldn't be the first to make a fool out of yourself in front of Natasha. Have you seen her... everything?

[isntaboutme]

WHAT? No. of course not! I would never!

[Cue one very red-faced Captain America. His mind going to gutters that people wouldn't suspect the Golden Boy capable of thinking.]

One more for the road. ;)

[notasoldier]

Cool it, Cap. It was a rhetorical question. I meant beautiful women make fools of most of us.

[Followed by.] Not me of course, but others.

[He's enjoying this too much to let it go, though.] But seriously? Never?

miss you already!

[isntaboutme]

Not never- never. Just not without express permission. Why am I even telling you this?

[notasoldier]

Because we're bonding, Steve. Is Natasha still there?

[isntaboutme]

No, she had some other stuff to do. [Or she was out seeing Barton. Steve frowns.]

[notasoldier]

So you're free. Good. Come meet me at my big ugly building. I have something to show you.

[isntaboutme]

If by something, you mean a private jet that's going to take us out to see Bruce again, I'll pass. The man likes his privacy, Tony, hence the remote locations.

[notasoldier]

The man likes to hide. He needs us. The safe distance is more for him than for us.

[isntaboutme]

That's quite sentimental of you. Will you at least call him first this time?

[notasoldier]

I don't do sentimental. Ask Pepper. Actually, don't. She probably doesn't need to be reminded.

You act like he wouldn't want to see me.

[isntaboutme]

That whole manners thing. I don't want him to think that something wrong.

[notasoldier]

What if there was something wrong?

Fine. Don't come. My suit will be faster than a jet anyway.
