Who: Tony Stark ( arrogantalloy ), Carol Danvers ( tookthename  ), Steve Rogers ( starspangledavenger  ), Hope Estheim ( eagletalons  )
Where: Olivine City
When:July 15 (forward dated)
Summary: Tony felt the need to celebrate Hopes one year anniversary in this world.
Rating: G -PG


Tony was staying in an okay hotel room until he could find himself enough money for a permanent home to rarely stay in while traveling. And right now it was housing a few other people, namely Steve, Carol, and Hope. One of which was probably doing a lot less well with his hangover than Tony was. Who himself looked like he normally does.

Tony is a very old hate at drinking.

Ignoring everyone else and their varying states of consciousness, Tony just made a bee line to the coffee. Because as sober as he looked, Tony partied harder than he had over the last few years, and felt the need for some stronger than normal coffee so he could get back to poking around the inner workings of Hope's Boomerangs.

"If a kid is the only one with a firecracker in the park, it doesn't make him an expert, it just makes him a kid with a fire cracker." Tony snorts derisively while rolling his eyes.

"And as a kid who's built his own firecrackers. I know there's a big difference between working with what you know and what you've been given. Especially considering that, Loki took Selvig, one of the few people on earth actually studying the tesseract to make him a better portal to bring his precious army, that he was also obviously given by the way. Proves my point."

Tony puts down his cup and immediately fidgets with his hands, as he tends to when trying to explain concepts to others. Hope's refusal to be apart of the conversation is currently not the issue, it's the fact that Tony now only hears Steve saying that he had no idea what he was doing.

"You might have seen that cube, seen how it works. But I had dad's notes on it, as well as my own readings from working with the spear. Believe me, at that point in time without Selvig on board, Bruce and I were equally the most qualified to deal with the shiny space weapons. Sure, we didn't realise it's antagonistic properties till you and the others showed up. But want to know something Rogers?"

Tony straightens up, clearly starting to gear towards a fight.

"We were next to that thing for hours without the slightest harsh word, before you. And everyone else, crashed our party."

"Okay, guys, calm down." She places a gentle hand on Tony's shoulder. She didn't like seeing him and Steve argue. In her head she knows this argument is on a considerably smaller scale than the debacle that happened over the SHRA, but it still made her distinctly uncomfortable.

"Whatever happened back in your home worlds doesn't really matter here. This isn't worth fighting over."

Steve's jaw clenches. From what he remembers before everyone started fighting is him coming in and backing up Tony's claim with physical proof, seems Tony remembers it differently. Fine, at least now he knows.

But Carol stepping in helps, because Steve was ready to go for the fight, but he doesn't want to upset Carol or drag Hope into this dysfunctional sorta friendship he has with Tony. Either way, he's worked up and he needs to remove himself from Tony before the man utters something and ruins Carol's efforts.

"Carol is right. I have some training to do, shouldn't have put it off this long," he gets up, giving Hope and Carol a smile and a nod, while Tony only gets a nod, and makes a quick exit. He really doesn't need to know what retort Tony might throw at him or Carol, he just knows leaving is best right now.
