Jan 09, 2009 12:23

Tony rarely had the opportunity to check out how the suit handled in a non-life threatening combat situation. Rarely meaning not at all up until now ( Read more... )

Steve might have left his shield with Bucky, but Bucky had a really shiny costume no use for the rest of his gear, so he'd brought it along. You know. Just in case.

Sparring with Iron Man seemed like just the sort of case he needed it for. He headed into the preserve with his cowl down, since Tony hadn't seen Captain America before. "Hey," he said when he arrived.

He was totally grinning like an idiot.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 01:15:31 UTC

Why, yes. Yes, he was. Even as he was flying through the air and twisting to land on his feet. "Showed up, didn't I?"

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 01:17:15 UTC

"Maybe you just wanted to see if I got the colors right," Tony replied, firing again. And again for good measure.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 01:23:02 UTC

Steve dodged. "They're not bad," he allowed.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 01:24:43 UTC

"Is that a yes?" Tony asking, letting the suit and Jarvis track him.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 01:46:31 UTC

"That's a yes."

Had Steve realized, he would have protested that using Jarvis, in whatever his form, constituted cheating.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 01:48:54 UTC

Tony considered it a tactical advantage. Which was just a fancy way to cheat, really.

"How much like the other is it?" He asked, charging toward him now that certain equations were run in order to calculate where he would be next.

Yeah. That'll work.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 01:53:33 UTC

Yeah, tactical equations vs. Steve's tactical brain? Steve was so not where Tony thought he should be.

He figured that question called for a break in the action.

"More impressive than his earliest versions. Heavier, though. Bet you can't fit in in a briefcase." Tony was probably going to take that as a challenge. "And nothing like the Ex--never mind." Tony would probably take that as a challenge, too.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 01:57:07 UTC

"Briefcase?" It begged to be asked.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 02:02:56 UTC

Steve just shrugged.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 02:04:47 UTC

"You know, I'm not sure I like this cryptic side," Tony pointed out, going for something new and... oh dear. Trying to fly.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 02:09:50 UTC

"I'm not cryptic," Steve said as he pulled his cowl back and watched this.

He kind of wished he had popcorn.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 02:11:33 UTC

"You are," Tony shot back and then... shot at him with the repulsor. Because this was supposed to be a fight, not a chat.

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 03:50:05 UTC

Oooh, bad angle for Steve, who went flying back through the air. "Am not," he said once he'd recovered.

not_ironmaiden January 10 2009, 03:55:28 UTC

Tony managed to look smug there. "Are too!"

screwyoumarvel January 10 2009, 03:58:25 UTC

"Are you five?" And then Tony needed to think fast, because there was a shield whizzing at his head.
