Teaser:

As he walked into the restaurant, he was aware of the looks he was garnering. He guessed it was the car, which was flashier than any other vehicle parked in the lot. People liked to stare, even when they thought they were being covert about it; Tony had lived in the limelight all his life, so he was used to it.

He slid his sunglasses up to his forehead to look at the menu, then spotted the staff starting at him as well. Tony offered them a quick, casual smile. In Malibu, spotting the odd celebrity or two was nothing out of the ordinary, but he supposed he was filling this joint’s daily quota all on his own. Deciding to let them stare, he went on picking items for his order.

“Sir?” one of the burger flippers asked cautiously. He was about Tony’s age, so there was no reason to say ‘sir’, but Tony looked at him indulgently anyway. “Are you okay?” the guy went on, still looking at him as if he had never seen anyone like Tony Stark.

“I’m fine, thanks,” Tony said, then stepped forward and started to rattle off his order.
