TM 256: What do you hope for?
Tony hopes this will go well. A year ago, he wouldn't have had any expectations, but a year ago, he wouldn't have expected any of this to work out as well as it has. He and Steve are married, they're working on rebuilding a United Avengers team, and. . .he doesn't have to lie about anything. He doesn't have to hide.
It feels strange, but it feels good, too. Years ago, before the accident, he really was playboy Tony Stark, too young and reckless to care what anybody thought of him. Now that he's grown up and settled -- secure even -- he has, oddly, been able to recapture much of the same feeling. It's not exactly the way it was in Wanda's world, but in a way it's better. He knows they had to work for it, this feeling that they're doing right, and being happy at the same time, and they don't need to worry about the world's opinion.
Except, of course, for one person.
He had called ahead to let Sally Stetins know he wanted to meet, on the MIT campus. Stark Scholarship business. He didn't tell her Steve would be coming, too.
He hoped it would go well.
