Rhodey's house [Tony's New York, early evening]

After a...not-terribly-illuminating message from Tony this afternoon, Ben had booked a portal to New York.

Yes, Tony, with the lightsaber.

He didn't know what to expect, but "stuck in Rhodey's house while a hyperactive girl chattered non-stop at him" wasn't really anywhere on his list.

"Does she ever take a breath?" he whispered to Rhodey.

"Did you leave one on their regular voicemail too or anything?" Ben asked, trying to smack the lightsaber through the chain again. "I'll take off your other hand too," he warned Whiplash.

Tony reached up, grabbing the chain to pull Whiplash closer. Oh, upgraded suit was wonderful. "You cut off his hand?" he asked, somewhere between impressed and disturbed.

"It's better than killing him," Ben said. "Prosthetics are pretty cheap, too."

Maybe in your galaxy, Ben.

"Not here they're not!" Tony replied with his silly logic, pulling harder on Whiplash. Guy was surprisingly strong, it turned out.

The chains glowed a bit brighter and there was the lovely smell of scorched metal in the air. "These were created to neutralize you should you interfere with Mr. Fix's plans," Whiplash wheezed.

"I feel special now."

"You should," Ben agreed, adding a bit of a Force-shove into Tony's efforts. "When they're planning for you, they fear you."

Beat.

"And not working on better villain-y names. Mr. Fix? Really?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Ben. Remember the angry, combat beekeepers?

"Yeah! I suggest going the mad scientist route," Tony said, using that oomph to knock Whiplash off his feet and yank him around like a psychotic yo-yo before letting go do he could crash somewhere and hopefully be knocked out. Unfortunately that was the same area as the power transformer for the formerly peaceful neighborhood.

Like a bug in a lightbulb.

"...that was not part of the plan."

"I kind of guessed," Ben said with a snicker. "Think the power company will beat SHIELD here?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, hopefully someone called the police here to get their attention."

Oh, Marvel.

"...did you /really/ cut off his hand?"

"Kind of?" Ben admitted. "Think we check on Rhodey and Pepper?"

"That's actually pretty cool," Tony admitted, looking over the display for how far off the cavalry was."...Pepper scares me a little."

"I'm worried that if we take too long, she'll have talked Rhodey deaf," Ben replied.

He was mostly kidding.

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a frightening possibility. "I'm sure she's dying to talk to a brave federal agent like you. But superheroes like myself need to get a move on before they get arrested."

Ben sighed. "You just want to avoid her."

Not that he couldn't understand the appeal. Tahiri talked a lot, but Pepper talked a lot.

"That wouldn't be very heroic."

Even if it was accurate.

"Not very," Ben said. "You can always zoom in, assure her there's no need to thank you, and then flee. That's what Dad tries to do most days."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because your dad never met Pepper," Tony reasoned before offering Ben a hand. "Last chance to escape..."

And be carried like a bride.

Ben took Tony's hand, looking dubious. "Let's not tell Ender about this part."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Deal. I'll even respect you in the morning."

A beat.

"I just got the weirdest sense of deja vu."

Ben snorted. "I can't imagine why."

Sure he could.

Damn you, Fandom weirdness!

Tony would figure you out someday, Ben! Someday! "Try not to fall," he said, starting the rockets for liftoff. It could be much worse (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/Muccamukk/Cap_IM/Avengers1-215.jpg).

Yeah, Ben rides no man like a pony. Shhh. Yes, even in narrative.

"I've been flying since I was a baby," Ben told him.

Just, you know, in ships.

"Trust me, this is so, so much better than anything you could have flown," Tony replied, grin obvious even with the helmet in place. And then kicked into high gear to get them a safe enough distance from the house.

"This can't even go to lightspeed," Ben teased, but he was grinning in genuine delight.

For that? Tony adjusted his grip on Ben before executing a barrel roll. Deal with that, Mr. Jedi.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Ben said.

Maturely.
