I love you all and I promised you I'd be careful and stay alive in this world. I've been monitoring our systems from here and not donning the suit. I think I earned a br--- It has been difficult sitting back sometimes, but there needs to be a "guy in the chair".

Anyway --- do you think I'm wrong?

Tony, this is your call to make. I'm not going to judge you or yell at you if you decide to go back into the field. I am going to ask you to be careful and not make reckless choices, but that's another story entirely.

You do important work behind the scenes, too, and if you choose to stick with that, I respect it entirely. My job as your friend is to support you, not bitch at you.

Tell that to Thor.

[ahugedork]

Maybe Thor's okay with losing you twice but I'm really not

Thor was raised to be a warrior and a ruler. Thor also doesn't have a wife and a daughter.

I still want to punch him. I won't, but I want to.

[ahugedork]

He'd probably let you. It would only hurt for a few minutes at most.

Tony. I love you. Losing you was the hardest thing I've ever done. If you want to put the suit on, do it. If you don't, don't. I'm here, either way.

That said: you need to be able to put it on and get out there if something goes wrong. If people need you, you need to put those fears aside.

[ironandheart]

I was there when Morgan needed me. That is enough for now.

I think I don't believe that you're happy sitting back and directing.

I'd never tell you you had to help - that's not how it works. I just don't think you're happy sitting on the sidelines.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

You know if you need me, I'm there, yeah?

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

Wow - deflect much?

I know you would come help if I asked.

I also know, you come help when I don't.

even if it's a time when he *should*

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

I think it is best for now.

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

What's best?
Are you okay? You're being way more deflecting and un-answering than usual.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

It is a lot finding out about the other world. I saw what it did to the people I love and I don't want you them to go through that again.

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

Okay, I can't believe that I'm the one giving the maturity lecture - but you can't sit on the sidelines just because you're scared. That's not how the hero gig works.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

I'm just being choosey in what I engage in, kid.

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

Mr. Stark - you're kind of freaking me out.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

I'm fine, kid, don't freak.

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

Except you're acting weird.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

Let's forget all this. Want to swing by headquarters and help me survey for a while? See if we can't figure out how to close that portal?

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

You want me to stop being in the middle of the baddie fight to come sit in a room full of computers and watch?

And you want me to believe that you're not acting weird?

Mr. Stark - I can't step out of this fight.

Re: Peter | Tony

[ironandheart]

I know, bud. I'm sorry. You are sure the new suit is working well?

Re: Peter | Tony

[starkinternship]

[ACTION:

He cannot take this anymore. It's making him nervous and freak out. So, he takes a detour and swings his way into the building. He finds Mr. Stark and walks over to his station.]

Okay, first - the suit is great, thank you. Second - what the hell is wrong with you?

[irondaughter]

I like it when I get to work with you here.

I might be selfish, but I prefer you here in the chair.

[ironandheart]

You are not selfish, sweetheart. I like working with you too.

[irondaughter]

I'm glad you're here.

Is everything okay?

[ironandheart]

I am glad you are here. Very glad.

I'm fine, sweetheart.
