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.

Are you free?

[Present from Papa Stark that he found after Howard was found to have left.]

Tony?

[Okay, wow, this call...wasn't an easy one. For several reasons. When he went to call his friend and found Howard's name missing from the contact list, it wasn't easy for him. Howard was a dear friend, one he had already seen come and gone, one he had already had to spend some much time away from.

And that wasn't even covering what it would to Tony. He was Howard's son. While Steve wasn't completely sure on what all went on between the two, he knew things weren't bad, and....well, he couldn't imagine Tony would take Howard's disappearance well.

Still, he deserved to know. Which was why Steve made the point to give his friend a call.]

Just...wanted to let you know, Howard's gone. Checked the contact list, couldn't find his name.

[A pause followed.]

Sorry.

Your punch line's arrived.

Uh, Tony? You taken a good look at your tower lately? There's cracks.

So, just in case you missed it, you've got a twin.

Do I get a treat for getting this number?

I hear you're the man to go to when it comes to this device.

[ Referring to the dreamberry and she hopes you've cracked it or something. ]

[Yeah, so he'd been waiting for this chance, and since he knows Roy will have delivered the envelope by now, and that Pepper is in the hospital, sick with a worse version of that virus he made from Steve's blood. And he has Tony's number thanks to having taken it out of Steve's dreamberry back when Steve was his prisoner all those months ago.

So he calls, setting it to video so he can see if Stark manages to hide his emotions as well as he normally does, assuming Tony even answers him with video.]

So, how is she?

[They've broken up and are living in separate floors of the tower but she still cares enough for him to let him know even though she's positive that he's seen. As far as she sees it, this is just a call to him as his employee.]

I know you've probably already seen it, but Rhodey is gone. Did you want me to collect his things and set them aside or?

[Since Pete's been functioning as Santa Clause in March, thanking everyone who put up with him as a kid with ~~candy-coated bribes~~ small gifts, it's time to wrap up all those friendship feels with one last message.]

Remind me never to hire you as a babysitter, dude.

For the record? The goatee stopped being cool when Adam Sandler got one. ~~Calling it a Van Dyke doesn't change the facts.~~

Tony Stark? This is Commander Shepard. I'd like to ask you some questions about your dream gate. In person, if possible.

Get back to me.
