[The phone turns on when it's dumped on a table with a pile of other things, and the part that isn't obscured by shadows shows Tony's workshop, empty of human life until Tony walks into view a few seconds later. He's shirtless, which isn't uncommon when it comes to Tony, but for those who don't know him, the glowing blue circle in his chest is

Action because I can

[Pepper had headed for the elevator immediately after she realized what was going on, and...well, isn't that informative. She steps into the lab and doesn't even wait for someone to notice her.]

Stop threatening to dismantle him, please.

[ironfail]

[Tony's in the process of hunting for a shirt to put on that isn't completely covered in grease and dirt. It's not working out too well, actually.]

Pepper, darling, what a surprise. I don't know what you're talking about, I'm being perfectly civil right now.

[notbuiltforthis]

[Mhmm.]

No clean shirts in here?

[ironfail]

I could've sworn there was at least one...

[He's got a shirt in each hand, but they're both dirty and he's currently debating whether to just put one on regardless.]

[Thor is giving him a mildly curious look.] You are embarrassed to let people see it. [Not a question, an observation. Perhaps he's wrong.]

[ironfail]

[He scoffs, shaking his head.] Embarrassed? This thing is a work of art. The pinnacle of modern technology. I'm just not too keen on letting the whole world know I've got it in me.

[flipsalltables]

[He raises a brow. This is Thor not really believing you, Tony.] If you are sure. It keeps you alive, then?

[ironfail]

[He shrugs a shoulder, slumping back in his chair. This is the part that's more embarrassing than anything else.] More or less.

[Dean is tempted, so sorely tempted, to make a really insensitive joke, but he's sure that's a dick move and--] So, the tin man has a heart, and it's made of LED lights. Good to know. [Oops, there it goes.]

[ironfail]

[As if that fazes Tony at all.] I'm loads of fun at a rave, you just install some flashing rainbow lights and you're all set.

[likemichael]

Hey, man, don't make jokes like that, or I'll be strappin' you to the ceiling and breaking out the Pink Floyd, glow sticks, and LSD.

[ironfail]

And that won't even be the worst thing anyone's ever caught me doing.

Do you treat all of your inventions like that, or is JARVIS special?

[ironfail]

Oh, JARVIS is my one and only, aren't you, JARVIS? [When JARVIS doesn't respond, Tony snorts and rolls his eyes.] He's just pouting now, let's ignore him.

You were doing a perfectly fine job of that earlier, sir.

[bowsbeforehoes]

True love at its finest.

[ironfail]

It's the best relationship I've had so far, let's be honest. [And thank god Pepper's not here to hear this conversation.]

[ X is gonna need a moment here. Because despite coming from a highly-technological era, he's still never quite seen something like this before. At least, not on a human. ]

... What is that...?

[ironfail]

[Tony, being the people person that he is, has decided playing dumb is the best option at the moment.]

What's what? Lots of fancy things in here, I am a genius billionaire pl - well, the genius billionaire's the important part right now. [Even though he's the farthest thing from rich in Mandalus. He just looks it.]

[variableweapons]

On your chest.

[ X doesn't even bother trying to hide his interest at this point. But he does seemingly catch himself after the blunt statement, seeming a bit embarrassed. ]

I-- Sorry, I've... just never seen something like that on a human before...

[ironfail]

Most people've never seen anything like that at all. [He grins, spinning in his wheel-y desk chair so that he can do something with a keyboard with one hand.] You know of something similar?
