Two days?( As if it didn't take him over two weeks to finally land on Spider-Man or his superhero alter ego. )Not bad.
Dry cleaning, huh?( On the one hand, he kind of wants to give the whole normal college experience a try. But also, no laundry? Kinda nice to think about. )Well, I mean, if you're offering...
I'm insisting. You're going to have plenty of other things on your plate, no need to add laundry.
Speaking of, college is when alcoholism rears it's ugly little head, so - I can't believe I'm saying this - but fun in moderation, okay? You can only have so many embarrassing videos on the internet before it stops being funny. Trust me on this one.
Yeah...can't really argue with that logic. Kind of dreading the sharp uptick in homework assignments, not gonna lie.( It's not even the homework or the amount of it -- it's balancing that with keeping the city safe. Keeping up with everything...it already feels like it's going to be a lot. )
Dude.( Okay, yeah, Tony does have kind of a point, but it's still suspect coming from him. )I know, I know, don't drink and drive. Or swing. I'll be fine, really.
I know. You're a better kid than I ever was.[ And that's the truth. Steve is a better kid than he has any right to be. It's why Tony trusts him. It's why he made him his own suit. Why he plans on paving the way for any college he chooses. He's an investment in the future by the futurist. Unmined potential.
So what if Tony also feels a certain responsibility for him? Superheroes have to look out for their own. ] Remember to have some fun. All work and no play makes Steve a nerd. Well, you know, more of a nerd.
( Steve wants to protest. Wants to remind Tony that he wasn't always like this, that he made some grave mistakes when he was starting out. But he doesn't have the heart to shatter the illusion. Besides, he's more than made up for all of those mistakes, pouring his heart and soul in making sure nobody ever has to give up their life in the face of impossible world-ending situations. )
Hey! I resent that.( Okay, yeah, Steve has definitely embraced his inner nerd now more than ever. There had maybe been a time when being called a nerd would have brought out a harsher side to Steve. Now, though, he can't help but grin. Some of his best friends are much bigger nerds, after all. )For you, I'll make sure to have plenty of fun.
I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. I'm gonna go with relieved because I think I could use a very, very long vacation from superhero-ing for a while.
Me and irresponsible. That's a good one. Though I guess with Eddie back, that's actually a possibility again.
Good. If you can't be irresponsible, at least you'll have a friend that can do it for you.
Irresponsible within reason. You've still got a bright future ahead of you, don't throw it away on advice from a superhero. No matter how impressive or devastatingly handsome he is.
Yeah, if there's one thing he's good at? It's that.
Which, I guess it's up to me to make sure he doesn't cross any lines, either. I think he's still getting used to the whole, you know, finding out I'm Spider-Man and all that jazz.( Not pictured here: Steve shaking his head fondly on the damn ego on this guy. And he thought Henderson was bad. )

All right. I/m going to be out of the country for a few weeks. Call Happy or Pepper if you need anything. Call me if it's an emergency. I mean it.
no subject
Wait...would he if you asked him to? ( He's not sure he wants an answer to that question, come to think of it. )
Oh? I hope it's for a good reason and not, you know, a universe-ending one. The last one really sucked.
no subject
Yeah, just your normal corporate piratism, no space pirates or universe ending involved this time.
I mean it, Steve. Hang up the mask and be a kid for omce. Friday's going to be tracking your instagram. I better see some irresponsible behavior.

Okay, good talk. Night.
and that's a wrap (on this one at least)

Good night, Mr. Stark.
