The Roof, Thursday Night

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Sure, it was cold out. And sure, it was dark. And kinda uncomfortable come to think of it.

Tony frowned at his seat on the edge of the roof, already starting to think of a way to make the roof heated. Because that wasn't going to be a bad idea that would end with whatever he created gaining sentience and trying to kill him.

Really.

But, for now, it was sulky emo thoughtful brooding. Take that Bruce Wayne.

[[Open roof is open!]]

She wasn't out on a practice patrol or anything like that, but somehow Stephanie ended up on the roof anyway; she could appreciate the view (if not the cold) without being on duty, right?

Spotting a figure lurking at the edge of the roof, she made her way over, calling out, "Hey," as she approached.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

He was totally not lurking. Lurking would imply the ability to blend into the shadows or being a creeper.

And Tony was fail at that, as he was at many non-technology related things.

"Hey," he replied with a small nod in her direction.

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

And this was why she didn't consider him spooky. This was a good thing.

"Tony?" she asked, once she got close enough to recognize him. "It's a little cold to be sitting out here."

Because obviously you couldn't sit on a roof to brood without a cape on.

And glaring at criminals while having poorly written inner monologues about whores and goddamn whores.

Frank Miller.

"I have a jacket," he replied helpfully. Then, thought better of it. "And, yeah it is kinda cold." This wasn't as good an idea as it seemed in his head.

Bobby was still a little shaken by... whatever the hell had just happened at the bowling alley. Shaken and, well, kinda broody himself as a matter of fact.

Which, naturally, led to the roof. Although he had no complaints about the cold.

"Hey," Bobby nodded a greeting, sitting down with his legs dangling over the edge.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Bowling alleys were dangerous places? But now roofs were too. Two non-teammate Marvel characters in the same area?

Smells like a team up!

"Hey," Tony replied nodding back. "You're in Home Ec."

Very astute, Tony.

So obviously this wasn't an All Star roof then.

Which was fine! Stephanie wandered over to sit down nearby, because hanging out on rooftops was a group activity these days.

"Because it's winter. And it's dark. Funny how that works," she remarked. "Couldn't you pick somewhere warmer to hang out?"

Said the girl who'd wandered up to the roof too. Shut up.

That was a goddamn challenge, Tony.

Bruce made his way up to the roof for a quiet night, not at all expecting a quiet night because the roof was never quiet.

"Enjoying the night air?" he asked.

[longislandiceme]

"Yep." Bobby nodded. "Still. And you're not a cyborg. Or so you say."

Seeing Raven at the bowling alley had stirred up a lot of emotions in Karla, mostly of the confused, painful, and guilty variety. Was she alive then? Where was she? What was happening to her? How could they find her again?

Thoughts and emotions awhirl, Karla made her way up to the roof for a bit, hoping that the cold of the night air would help clear her mind a bit.

She wasn't even surprised to find people on the roof by the time she got up there. Not anymore. "Kiss kiss," she called, with a half-hearted wave.

[longislandiceme]

"Hey, uh..." Bobby floundered for a few seconds, trying to remember the girl's name. "...You," he finally finished.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Because Stephanie wasn't the female Robin who cursed. ALL. THE. TIME.

"Hey, you're up here too," Tony pointed out.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Most parts of me aren't robotic," Tony replied, going for cagey and getting... smug.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Goddamn it, Bruce. Goddamn it.

"It's colder than I expected," Tony admitted. "I probably should have worn a sweater."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to assume that's hello," Tony replied slowly. Look, that was still confusing even after the second time hearing it.

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

"You're in Tight Situations," Stephanie remembered (woo, observational skills practice!), snapping her fingers as she waved at him. "The class, not a comment on your habits. But I can't remember your name, either."

. . . more practice was obviously needed.

[glacial_queen]

"Among other things," Karla said. Helpfully. "But that's how I meant it tonight. Hey, Tony."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You do realize it's winter, right?" Bruce asked. He was wearing a very nice, warm sweater. So warm.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Weird Fandom thing?" Tony guessed, nodding back at her and scooting as if to offer room on the wide open ledge.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"It's not winter back home," Tony whined said whined.

[longislandiceme]

"You don't have a roboclaw like that guy from Space Battles, do you?" Bobby had to ask.

[longislandiceme]

Well, it actually was a pretty accurate summation of his habits, hence his presence in that class. "Bobby Drake," he introduced himself.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Claws aren't practical. How would I use my tools if I had a claw that crushed things?"

[glacial_queen]

Karla recognized the other female from Support Services. She was new this semester, but had seemed fairly friendly. And unshaken by any Fandom weird. Not that there'd been much recently.

Oh. And a class, too, maybe. "Kiss kiss," Karla said, giving her a nod. "Stephanie, right?"

[longislandiceme]

"Hey," Bobby gave her an awkward little wave. Not just because of whatever-the-hell had just happened, but also, well... he had to wonder if Warren had told her anything about what had happened Sunday. It wasn't like he'd exactly had a chance to ask about that before.
