Third floor common room [morning]

Cade hadn't noticed anything was different yet today, which was why he'd gone through his normal Saturday morning routine: thinking about jogging (deciding not to), shower, then into the common room for a box of Cocoa Puffs in front of whatever was on the television at the time.

It was a thrilling life Cade led here. He was (weirdly, for him) more interested in hearing about your day today.

And then leveraging that information to his own benefit, naturally. How Peter Wiggin of him...

"Not that I know of?" How would he know? How I shot web?!

"Okay, good. So at least I'm not stuck on Normal Island with just Cade," Jessica said. Which was funny because both she and Cade were hiding powers. FUNNY!

"...thanks." HIS BRAIN WAS HIS SUPERPOWER, OKAY? HIS BRAIN.

AND SCIENCE.

BRAINS DIDN'T COUNT. "You're welcome," Jessica said. "For the record, there's going to be pancakes, if you want any. They won't give you powers, but they're pretty good."

HEY. DON'T HATE THE BRAIN.

"Pancakes sound amazing," Tony replied. "And not just because I'd burn the kitchen down if I tried to make them."

A beat.

"At last Sparkle would survive that."

"Hey, maybe you have something like that, but you're not crazy enough to test it out of pretty much nowhere," Jessica said. She maybe felt that going from 'should have burned self with a lighter' to 'sticking hand over lit burner' should have taken more steps. "Maybe you're invulnerable and you don't know because nobody's punched you today."

"...please don't punch me." HE WASN'T AWAKE ENOUGH FOR THIS.

"Slap you? Stomp on your foot? Flick your ear?" Jessica suggested. "Come on, you've got to give me something to work with here."

"I think we're safe to say I am not up for anything that involves me getting injured." A beat. "Until I get to the lab. I'm sure I'll end up with a burn or two today."

"Your loss," Jessica said, grabbing a plate to put a couple completed pancakes on. There, Tony. Pancakes. "You wouldn't happen to be working on jetpacks for everyone today so we can all fly around like Topher, would you?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Jetpacks are an accident waiting to happen," Tony informed her seriously, taking the plate and going for the syrup.

"But fun while it lasts," Jessica said. "You can't forget that part."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but that messy splat at the end..."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm going to just call this an unfortunate failure to focus on the positive," Jessica decided. "But you're the boss, so i'm not going to complain."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well. Engineer." You know.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"All I know is that if I find out that you actually have a bunch of jetpacks at the ready for a boys night out and refuse to share it with the rest of us, I will be very disappointed in you," Jessica joked.

"They're drunk on those nights," Tony said, rolling his eyes. "I wouldn't waste my tech on that."

REALLY.

"Wouldn't you?" Jessica asked, giving Tony a doubting look.

She knew another Tony Stark. One that she favorably compared this one to. Except that one rarely used technology without being at least five sheets to the wind.

"No." Well. Not if he could help it. "I tried to build a cannon at a bar once, though."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Tried and failed, I hope?" Jessica asked.

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-11-17 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"It would have worked if the cocktail straws hadn't been poorly made."

Really, Tony?

"Remind me to never hang out with you when you're drunk. It really sounds like all kinds of bad ideas," Jessica said.
