<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/46/Stark1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Tony Stark - Iron Man<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Stark Tower, Upper Lounge<br/><strong>Wearing: </strong>Black tank-top, blue jeans<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Rogue, Thor, Havok<br/><hr/>Even after all these years and everything they had been through together, Tony still felt such a sense of disdain from Thor. He supposed it may be the way they seemed to have different mindsets. Thor was a god, with access to a great beyond, but chose to come here, to Earth. Tony saw that as going backwards. Tony on the other hand was a product of Earth, but had outgrown it, and was now preparing to head to the great beyond to move past it, so they're differing mindsets just seemed to be coming to a head especially as of late.<br/>At his comment about when Stark would learn that Thor's not a primitive Viking, Tony just said, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Probably about the time you start taking me offering you grog as the friendly gesture it is as opposed to a personal judgment on your character.</span></span>"<br/><br/>When Thor suggested that Carol and Rogue would get along after working together more, Tony couldn't help but offer, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Yeah, after all, just look at Thor and I! We've never really seen eye-to-eye, but after working together for so long, now we're like besties! Isn't that right Thor?</span></span>"<br/><br/>And at Thor's comment about Logan's allegiances, Tony suggested, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Yeah, but Logan's also what you'd refer to as a `loner', so his cooperation with <em>any</em> sort of team represents a significant effort on his part, much less heading up an entire school.</span></span>"<br/>Thor did have a good idea in questioning Rogue about the temperature of things at the Jean Grey School though. It was like having an inside line to info which was at least as valuable as anything else at this point.<br/><br/>Just then Alex showed up. When he suggested he was late, Tony said, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Oh, were we supposed to be meeting for something? I suppose it's lucky I decided to come up when I did.</span></span>"<br/>Then when Alex asked what he missed, Tony responded, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Well you <em>almost</em> missed...breakfast...?</span></span>" questioningly looking to Rogue for help with the time of day...<br/><br/>Then he spoke again to the invisible computer assistant, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Pepper, better add another Southern scramble.</span></span>"<br/>The computer response came back with a sigh, "<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">Can you make up your mind?</span>"<br/>Tony chided the young AI, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Pepper...? What have we talked about in regards to your attitude...?</span></span>"<br/>Another sighing response, "<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_u"><em>Fine</em></span>...</span>"<br/>Tony found that speaking to the young program as though it were the teenage-like computer that it was developmentally had the best results. "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Better yet, just bring a large pan full and I'll keep it warm here at the bar with a hot-plate. <em>Thank you Pepper~.</em></span></span>"<br/><br/>He noticed Rogue smile at his inappropriate comment about her and Carol rolling around in the mud together. He was both thankful as well as a little happy that she seemed amused by it when she relayed it to Alex. He just shrugged his shoulders in a defensive manner and said, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Hey, you can't blame a guy for trying.</span></span>" Then he continued to Rogue, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">And you best put that tongue of yours away young lady, unless you plan on using it.</span></span>" And when she taunted that the mud wrestling with her and Carol wasn't gonna happen, he suggested, "<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Okay, mud wrestling with me then...?</span></span>"<br/>Okay, that last comment was pretty brazen, even for him. Now he was probably just looking to get slapped.
