Ghost shows up to kill Tony before this posse gets larger, only to find it difficult to manage without getting hit by /someone/. Ender comes to the peaceful solution of bribery.

Steve was spending a peaceful afternoon of listening to jazz and working on a painting. It had been a while since he'd gotten a chance to paint, and he was really enjoying it.
That was about to change, which he really should have seen coming.

Steve rose from his easel and went to check the peephole...only to find Tony Stark and apparently all of his friends. Well, at least this time he hadn't snuck into Steve's apartment with a bleeding African prince while he was asleep?
He opened the door and said, "What's the matter?" and then held up one hand to forestall anyone speaking, saying, "First, everyone inside. Then explain." It would be easier if they weren't all standing in the hall, he figured.

Ender spared him a brief glance as he made his way in, taking off his gloves once he'd crossed the threshold.
"Something is hunting Tony," he said, and while he didn't bother to tack on the 'again' it was obviously implied. "Or rather, it was hunting him this weekend. Whoever it is seems to enjoy the rooftops," but then who didn't, these days? "Can't be seen, can't be touched. He thought coming here would be a good idea."
There. That ought to inform Steve and keep Tony from lapsing into more excuses for the time being.

"Possibly in more than just a general this-is-the-story-of-our-lives sense," offered Stephanie -- Robin, rather, since she'd taken a minute to change into costume along the way. (Hey, a girl had to be prepared for possible skull-cracking shenanigans.)
The lenses of her mask were down, so she could give Tony a really? again? look.

"He has a hi-tech suit and has mentioned several times that he's being paid to kill Tony and won't stop until the job is done," Matt added. "He can become completely intangible and go through walls and floors as well."
And yes Matt was feeling all sorts of awkward at the moment between all of Tony's friends knowing he wasn't truly blind and not to mention the fact that Captain America was teaching sex Ed.

Steve's brain hurt. He sighed and said, "Hang on a moment," and went into his bedroom, returning carrying a leather artist's portfolio, from which he took his shield.
"It rings a few bells," he said, "but I can't say for sure. You were right to come to me," he said, shooting the girl in a superhero costume a concerned look.

"Human shields, huh?" a dry voice came from somewhere in the corner of the room. He remained invisible for a moment longer before essentially saying 'to hell with it.'
"They say how someone goes out tells you all you need to know about someone."

Ender turned towards him, exhibiting only the most minor surprise through the twitching of his eyebrows. "'They' say a lot of things," he said, "that tend to devolve to meaningless platitudes. Tony's pursuer, I presume."
"Checking his visual markers against records from Tony's universe," Jane spoke into Ender's ear. "Keep him talking and I might even find something."

Stephanie twitched a hand toward her utility belt, but flinging Batarangs in a room full of people was too much of a terrible idea to appeal to even her.
"Oh my god, that had better not be what this is about!" She wasn't so much trying to keep him talking strategically as she was talking because banter was what she did. "I mean, really? I know paparazzi go to lengths but puh-leeze, this is super-mega-extreme, innit?"

He knocked on the door, looking around anxiously. And then knocked again.

He might need a moment.

His hand flicked toward his lightsaber hilt, but he didn't grab it just yet. "What do you want? Tony's not really into providing autographs."

His billy club was already out and in a throwing position in case the assassin made a move.
"He can't attack if he's intangible," Matt called out. "If he makes a move go after him."
