Rating: G -PG

Tony, didn't have much time to read up on his newly obtained Ambipom, ButterFingers, from the other day before Harry rumbles at him from behind, holding out a shuddering egg at him. He stares at the egg for a moment, before looking up at the others.

"Hey, gonna need hot water and towels back here. You know, if anyone's even interested."

Tony reaches out his hand to the Charizard who reluctantly gives up egg and his most loved duty of egg sitting but continues to hover nearby to see what's going on. Glancing around, Tony goes to sit on a log as he puts the egg on his lap as it continues to shake, rattle and glow. The egg hatches to reveal the little Eevee girl inside, after she blinks and looks around with an analytical gaze, her ear twitching curiously at the Lopunny beaming happily down at her, then up at Tony not sure if she should be unimpressed or not.

"Yeah, believe me. I've seen that look more times than I can remember."

"That's normally a good policy," Carol mutters back. She loves Tony, but sometimes the man has a habit of over sharing. "But it's just a type of fabric. Stretchy."

Carol never really noticed that Amber didn't like Tony. Now that she thinks about it she can't remember seeing Amber ever get near Tony while they're traveling.

Tony just blinks and stares at Amber's reaction, just watching what's going on before licking his lips and looking at Steve curiously.

"Okay, really? She's still hung up on that? That was what, weeks ago?"

Because to be honest, Tony is really confused about her being scared of him. Mostly due to after the they startled each other, Tony had all but moved on from it. So he didn't understand why she's still worrying about it.

The Eevee watches her mother's reaction, then looks at Tony. Then comes to the conclusion that up on Tony's shoulders is a really good place to stay.

Steve doesn't even seem to notice the added weight of Hopeon, which the weight is really nothing to him anyway, he doesn't mind the company since Amber seems to responding positively. It is becoming a bit of a bother with how many of Steve's Pokemon seem to have a strong negative reaction to Tony. Oh well, seems Grace and Amber are lost causes there.

"She's over sensitive and you kind of treated her like she was the spawn of Hitler when it all went down. I was just happy when she stopped refusing to come out of her ball when you were around." He pauses for a second before adding, "And I'm sure Grace has been making it worse," he knows her and the fact she would take advantage of having another force on her anti-Tony campaign.

He looks at Hope and Carol, adding to her explanation, "Tony has a fetish for imagining I wear the stuff, even if I never have." And yes he knowingly and purposely used the word fetish.

Hope purses his lips and rubs the bridge of his nose. "I did say I didn't want to know."

There's a bit of chagrin in his voice that he cant keep out because really. Really. He just said it and they made it so much worse.

Especially now that he cant shake thoughts of Steve in skin-tight fabrics, considering the only type of stretchy fabrics he does know can be tight around the body like a second skin.

He has to stop those mental images right there.

Well, that's an interesting look on Hope. Carol raises an eyebrow at him.

"So why doesn't Amber like Tony?"

"Unlike some of us, I never met Hitler. So that's not an accurate comparison. What I did do, was act like she scared the hell out of me, because let's face it, she scared the hell out of me."

Tony rolls his eyes, and tries to get the Eevee off his shoulders, but she just moves to his other shoulder whenever he's close to reaching her then gives up when Steve mentions this apparent fetish, he raises his eyebrow at Steve he looks as if he's about to exclaim 'yeah right', but instead he just gives him a slow unashamed smouldering look. Without taking his eyes off Steve he answers Carol, intent on finding out how long it will take Steve to look away.

"She's a psychic type. I didn't except her to excitedly scream in my brain and fell out of my chair loudly."

Steve doesn't look away, just gives Tony a long bored look, because he was friends with the Commandos, this isn't that new to him. "Yes, and you treated her like she was the devil. Hopefully, she'll come around eventually, but she needs to do it in her time."

Amber makes a distressed noise at the suggestion.

"Don't worry," Hope says in a conspiratorial whisper to Amber even though he's fully aware that the others can hear him perfectly, "You're not alone in not exactly being fond of Tony."

He scratches her behind an ear, as his own Espeon twines around Steve's neck and plays with her tail.

Carol moves to sit next to Tony, reaching over to pet the new Eevee.

"She will come around eventually, Tony just takes some time to get use to."

Tony keeps up his stare, because this is something he's refusing to lose too.

"Well at least I know she wont be in my head for the foreseeable future at least. But hey, I'm all for giving her time. And well, really if I knew it was a thing she could do. Then I wouldn't have nearly had a reactor failure."

Hearing Hope, Tony would have loved to give him a bland look and comment, but he's still refusing to look away from Steve.

The Eevee stares at the encroaching hand for a moment, then realising it isn't going to make a grab for her, lets the pat happen though she still looks ready to just move away at any second.

"You know, you have this bad habit of talking about me like I'm not here. You know that right?"
