You've reached Tony Stark. If you have this number, you've done something brilliant. Congratulations. Now please don't waste my time.

[Backdated to when Tony woke up. Since they arrived back in Somarium after his actual birthday and it was hectic getting back things in running order, Pepper hadn't actually gotten around to buying Tony a proper birthday present. Unfortunately, by the time she got around to it herself, Tony had already fallen into a sleep coma.

So when he wakes up, he'll notice (if he does notice at all), there is a nicely wrapped box containing her gift for him with a card on top that simply says 'Happy (Belated) Birthday!' in her handwriting. She's kind of hoping he'll learn to keep better track of time but she knows better.

There's more to the present but that's for later of course.]

[It took some time to get the full story out of Schmidt as to what happened, and then to calm him down about what he learned, but there was one thing for sure. Steve was not happy how Tony handled it. Telling the kid what he did-- just, no.]

Tony, we need to talk.

[While Tony didn't enjoy what he did, it wasn't something he regretted.]

What can I do for you, Captain?

You can tell me what hell you were thinking, telling Schmidt what you did.

[Right to business, as usual. But he's not exactly happy right now, either.]

I told him the truth.

This could have gone two ways; either it snaps him out of it and he doesn't grow up to be a megalomaniac or it does nothing but make him want me dead. And considering he's already tried it, doesn't mean much. So nothing to lose and everything to gain.

He's a kid, Tony. He didn't need to know, whether it changes him or not.

I call bullshit. What the hell does it matter how old he is?

He's been sobbing for-- don't even know how long anymore. Don't you think that's a little cruel?

[Starting to get a little bit defensive.]

He can handle it. I've heard worse.

You aren't the one having to listen to it.

Well tell him to suck it up and don't turn into a fucking insane maniac then.

Doesn't work that way, Tony.

What do you want me to do? I'm not apologising for what I said.

Never said you had to. [He'd like him to, but he could see that was pointless to expect.]

[He jerks his head up defiantly.]

Then what was the whole point of this? To voice your disapproval? Yeah, thanks I've heard enough of that before, I don't need that from you as well.

To let you know what you did. I may not approve, but it was your choice. And I hope you're happy with it.

[Yeah, he's just ending the conversation there.]

Are you free?

[The reply comes back pretty quickly.]

What can I do for you, doc?

[Good for you, Tony.]

Did you see that latest post? The one with the dream.

[Science bros get a rapid answer.]

There's been a couple I've been keeping an eye on, you'll have to be more specific.

[Always the exception for the sciencebro.]

Well, the last couple of ones with the strange dreams. There's a strange feeling in them that I can't seem to shake off.

The ones with the open line?

[Tony actually agrees that they look suspicious but he doesn't consider them as premonitions because that is unscientific.]

Yeah. Kind of weird how so many of them are appearing at the same time after that one dream.

I'm keeping tabs on them, but what do you think they mean?

Well, you have more experience than me on this. You got any clue?
