Tony Stark. This is Howard Anthony Stark. Coincidence?

Hey Tony, they have Bucky Bears in your universe?

you know how to work these device things right

[ As if they'd ever discussed it before. But Tony does tend to babble a lot, and Molly pays more attention than he likes to pretend. ]

Hey, Tony right?
It's North, from the bar. I'm just messaging because I might have been a little. Too quick to anger. It's nothing personal.
What I mean is I guess I'm sorry for almost beating you up. You weren't actively trying to be a dick.

(p.s. ignore the ID)

My name is Bucky Barnes, which I guess probably means something to you
Steve told me about you
A little, mostly
I don't know how much we have in common
Historically, I mean
So I guess I wanted to just
you know
find out, maybe hash things out if we gotta

If that's not okay or you'd rather not, that's
Fine, just say the word

[Herbert's from the past and hates tiny phone keyboards so here he is, actually calling.]

Sorry to bother you
Was kinda hoping you could gimme a price quote on your services, if you're even in business
Got sort of an engineering problem
Or a tech problem
Or both

Hey. You okay?

[ even though stephen hasn't texted tony before, he's not actually the overfamiliar type. he's just also not a small talker anymore so he's getting the important question out there first. ]

I know what a goddamn prostate is.

[ The photo is a little blurry, and poorly lit, but it's obviously Loki–and even if he's sent it, it's obviously not Loki who's taken it, because: there Loki is, kneeling, and both of his hands are occupied. It's taken from the point of view of whomever Loki is kneeling before–the owner of the cock that Loki has in his grip, pushed up against his cheek, hard enough so that it's clear that this is the before photo.

Loki looks up at the camera, a little hazily, and it's unclear if he's inebriated or just lust-addled. Maybe both, judging by how hard Loki is, his trousers unclasped so that he can take himself in hand. It's certainly not something he would have sent to Tony Stark, of any variety, after he'd gone on so much about the whole kneeling thing in front of him, but–he's developed a little bit of a habit for things not quite working out as he intends them to. ]

[A series of bots set up to trawl the network in pursuit of the 'hacker' currently playing with the city's systems register a strange response from one particular device, and report back.

Late at night, a series of manual requests come through in the deep layers of the device's security systems.]

So I know last time things didn't go how we planned on the ceiling

but hear me out

we could give it a shot again — at my place, this time — and I could even put a safety net under us just in case I drop you again

And wear something sexy and ridiculous just to entice you. I'm even giving you full permission to make fun of me and I won't use any pet name for at least the entire night

[ so tony's going to get this picture ~~just pretend she's blonde okok~~ with the text: ]

what's this? i thought you were trying to teach me to be patient, not taking an opportunity to take a picture of my butt

Hey Tony
You happen to know of any lab space in this city for a very intelligent sub?

Figured if anyone would know it'd probably be you

[ gwen's come here to drink enough booze to feel a little bit buzzed and make some reckless decisions

and she's all out of booze ]

so quick question

[ It's late, enough that Steve should probably wait until the next morning, but the thought is in his head now. He and Tony started their friendship on late-night talks. Might as well see if that still holds. ]

Hey, are you awake?

Edited 2019-04-07 19:31 (UTC)

Hey. Can we talk?

[well, nothing like a midnight text message to a person you've not spoken to all month. this is how building a friendship works, right?]

Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but are you free to talk?

hey are you free?
