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

[momslilassassin]

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.

"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."

"Deal. I'll even respect you in the morning."

A beat.

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

[momslilassassin]

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.
