Lab Below Stark Industries, Monday All Day

[not_ironmaiden]

Did you know that working on code was the best way to repress sickening pet names and a wedding that ended in being married to a transexual mayor? Tony found that out today as he refused to leave his lab for anything other than food and possibly alcohol to block out any memories of ice sculptures

Tyler had made his work at the school and his run with Ghani last as long as possible. Then he'd gone to the gym. Then he'd .... run out of reasons not to go to the lab to check on Tony, so here he was, walking down the stairs like they hadn't almost gotten married the day before.

"Hey."

[not_ironmaiden]

Tony had already forgotten! "Tyler. We need to break into Nathan's place."

And every time Tyler thought the weird was over for a while, Tony couldn't surprise him and their lives had to get normal -- well, normal by his standards -- he came up with something like that.

"What? Why?"

[not_ironmaiden]

"He had a camera yesterday."

Nathan was a dead man. He was just so lucky Tony couldn't ruin his 401k.

This meant there was photographic evidence of Tyler reciting Better Midler lyrics and crying.

That could not stand.

"We have to break into Nathan's house."

[not_ironmaiden]

"That's what I said."

[tyler_back]

Tyler took a seat near Tony. "I've never been to his house in my right mind. Do you have the blueprint?"

And so repression was channeled into petty crime.

"...I don't think I have either," Tony admitted. "I can find one, though."

[tyler_back]

"I know you can," Tyler said with utter faith. "We steal the camera, we toss the film, there's no evidence except radio. And that's just insane."

He made a jazzy motion with his hands; boom, simple as that.

"Bring rum and the squirrels will leave you alone."

[tyler_back]

"You paid off rodents?"

[not_ironmaiden]

"It works." Sometimes.

"And somehow I went years not knowing that," Tyler said, and stood. "You plan out the Nathan thing. I need food." He hadn't eaten all weekend, trying to fit into his wedding tux. "You got anything in the house? I'll cook."

He usually tried to keep at least cereal, soup and eggs around, but sometimes even they disappeared.

[not_ironmaiden]

"Do frozen pizza count?"

[tyler_back]

"It's edible. I say yes." Tyler was already moving toward the kitchen.

"I knew I married you for a reason," Tony called, just to be a dick.
