Just say that Mr. Stark likes consciousness and all.”  Paige wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but if Tony was away it must have been a while.   The suit was about halfway fixed, but at least it was something.<br/><br/>“While I don’t condone the method, you needed some sleep.” She said her mind half on his comments and half still running the perplexing chemical composition of Neena’s suit around in her head.<br/><br/>“Wait, I’m Tony Stark. I can make anything work.”<br/><br/>“By sheer force of ego alone.” She added with a tired shake of her head. Paige knew she shouldn’t be so bitchy, but end of the world and all.  “Sorry.” She apologized.  “That was uncalled for.” The words had barely left her lips when Jarvis brought up the skinny-dipping, which elicited a snicker from the blond haired X-Woman and then a roll of her eyes as Tony described her “features”<br/><br/>“I see you like to use scientific terms of measure.” She observed with a smile.  Joking made it all easier, until Jarvis noted Diamondback’s arrival.  She was about to bolt for the med kit when Neena and Wolverine cut her off.  Damn she was bossy.<br/><br/>“You’d think a good roll in the hay would have made her less bitchy.” She observed as the two mutants went to check on Diamondback, but it was unlikely Tony heard her.  He was babbling something about ginger and nickel and simulated signals.<br/>
