Stark Industries, Saturday

[imafuturist]

So, there were two other Tony Starks in town for the weekend. The only person in the shop who wasn't surprised by that was JARVIS, it would seem. Seeing as how he was one program tweaked by all three of them over the years

Coulson walked in, curious to see who "Stark" referred to at this point. His face didn't budge, but it flashed pre-mature exasperation nonetheless. "I've had nightmares like this. Do any of you know me?"

[not_ironmaiden]

"Agent Coulson," Tony replied. "Always a pleasure to see you alive and well."

DICK MOVE IN THE AVENGERS, MAN.

[hoorayimrich]

"Agent? He with SHIELD then?"

[imafuturist]

"Aren't they always?" A beat. "Though he could have been with SWORD, I guess. I wonder how long it took to get those two agency names to spell sword and shield."

Look, Stephanie would have gone to find Tony one way or the other, even if she hadn't promised Pepper that she'd give him a hard time this weekend. (Just a little bit of a hard time. She wasn't evil, geesh.) And it didn't take detective skills -- which were better these days, even! -- to realize this was a likely place to look for him.

"I should have known you'd be --"

Wait. Blink.

"Ohmygod."

[hoorayimrich]

"Stephanie!" Tony smiled, lighting up almost as much as he did around new technology. "Meet the other me's."

And join him in how weird it was.

"Did we break her?" Tony asked, peering over at the cute, little blonde. "Oh, I hope Tyler has that response too."

[imafuturist]

Tony gave him a confused look as to who Tyler was, but was going to let it slide for now. "Nice to meet you too. We get that response a lot. Though usually it's a solo thing."

Ben walked into the store, blinked twice and then grinned. "Stang. Which one of you knows who I am?"

[hoorayimrich]

"Ben!" Oh, hopefully Ben was prepared for a tackle/hug. Because that's what he was going to get.

[momslilassassin]

"Tony!" Ben said, hugging him back hard. "It's good to see you! Not that it's not good to see the...other yous...but I know this you!"

The things Fandom made him say.

[hoorayimrich]

"And I'm the best one, right?"

Ignore the indignant scoffs from the other Tonys. Ignore it.

Of course Topher wanted to see his old desk at Stark Industries. It was an awesome desk. He had not expected this, though.

He was whistling as he came in, but stopped abruptly. "Oh, there's Tonys here."

Yes, that was true!

[hoorayimrich]

"Multiple Tony's," he was assured with a grin by one of them.

[dollpocalypse]

"Cool," Topher decided. "I figured something weird would be going on. Are you guys bonding? Or is it like too much of the same personality for you to all hang out together?"

Someone had taken up an interest in psychology.

"Also, hey. Been awhile."

[imafuturist]

"No one is dead yet, so it looks to be okay."

Yet being the key word.

Sam peeked in, drawn by the smell and sounds of engineering in progress. "Hello?"

[imafuturist]

So, so much engineering. It was their thing. "Hello," said the one Tony who was not in a committed relationship or a zygote.

[carter_i_am]

Sam glanced around, noticed the other men. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting. I heard the...what is that?"

Interest captured, she wandered over to get a closer look at something.

[imafuturist]

"Skrull detector." It was out for reasons.
