The Perk, Wednesday, 2/02

So here he was. On the island. Teaching about fighting, even.

Tyler felt like he'd done the time warp right back to 2009.

He had some time before he had to catch his portal back to New York, so he went to the Perk to people-watch and feed his caffeine addiction. He was pretty sure the same barista who had always given him a dirty look, gave him a dirty look this time too.

He winked at her and took a window seat.

Garage. Pff.

"A lab, actually," Tony replied oh so vaguely. About his secret lab to be used for crime fighting.
tyler_gone: ([neu] talking calmly)

Annnd

Tyler's eyebrow crept up again. "I live with someone who has one of those," he said, tilting back in his chair. "I'm more a chemist myself."

A very, very amateur chemist.

"Really?" Oh god damn you, Tyler. "What kind?"
tyler_gone: ([neu] talking calmly)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-02 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Household experiments with a special interest in demolitions work. I'm stronger on practice than on theory."

Because that was oh so reassuring.

"The one chemistry teacher here had us blow things up in our first class," Tony replied. "I'm sensing a pattern."
tyler_gone: ([neu] sitting down)

"The school is carrying on a fine tradition," Tyler observed. "Who's teaching chemistry these days? Are they any good?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Tony shrugged. "It's high school." Way to be kind to your education system, Tony.

"Her name is Kukaku Shiba. She's... very unique."

Boob-tastic.
tyler_gone: ([neu] listening and impatient)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"In the 'taslking chimpanzee' way or the 'off her gourd' way?" Tyler asked. "And you sound so very enthused."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"She's--" Tony made vague motions at his chest before giving up on explaining that part of it. "--crazy, yeah."

He shrugged again.

"It's been a while since I was in school."
tyler_gone: ([neu] insufferably smug)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Boobs and crazy. Yeah, Tyler would have to meet her if he ever had more than a couple hours on the island again.

"Me too," he joked lightly. "What did you do instead?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Worked for my dad," Tony replied with a quick grin. "Tech design."
tyler_gone: ([neu] watching you)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Dammit, there went a weird little twist in Tyler's stomach.

"Any company I would have heard of?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Stark International?" If this was another person who knew some version of him and was going to ask if he was a clone, Tony was having none of it.
tyler_gone: ([pos]see i can smile)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sorry Tony.

".... right."

And then Tyler laughed. He'd explain the joke later.

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
TYLER, WHY SO CRUEL?

Tony frowned at him. "I'm not a clone or whatever else." THANKS, STEVE.
tyler_gone: ([pos] content)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Whose theory is the clone thing?" Tyler asked, a fist against his mouth so he'd stop laughing. "Sorry. I'm going to have to tell the other you he has a mini-me."

A pause. "Probably it'll turn into a child support joke."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Mr. Rogers. Before he made me teaching assistant for his class." Which only proved Steve was crazy.

"Does this happen a lot or something?"

Somewhere... another Tony was opening a bottle of scotch.
tyler_gone: ([neu] cynical)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Not exactly this way, but people coming in and being the same as someone else but not?" Tyler asked. "Yeah, sorry. You can still be a unique snowflake back home."

He scratched the back of his neck. "How's Steve?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay." AND HE WOULD, TYLER. BECAUSE CLEARLY THIS OTHER HIM WASN'T AS AWESOME IN DESIGNING A MECHANICAL SUIT OF ARMOR.

AND STUFF.

"He's... a teacher?" Oh god, asking Tony to evaluate someone's emotional well-being. That way lay madness.

"Implied by the part where you're his TA."

No, Tyler wasn't expecting to get many more details. He'd met Tony. A different Tony, but still.

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Tony stared awkwardly for a moment. "He seems nice?"

It was effort!
tyler_gone: ([neu] sitting down)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Glad to hear it," Tyler relented. If he were really that bothered about it, he had Steve's phone number. "He's a good guy, so..."

He trailed off. "Anyhow. So you keep busy with science stuff?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"When I don't have to go to class, yeah," Tony replied, rubbing more of that grease off on his pant leg. "You're not going to go all teacher on me if I say it's boring, are you?"
tyler_gone: ([neg] Just my luck)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Tyler snorted. "High school is boring. Here's a little better than most places. You get lectured a lot?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2011-02-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Once or twice."

Okay, once. He wasn't sure lectures from Rhodey counted for other ones.

"But, two more years and I'm done."
tyler_gone: ([pos] wry grin)

[personal profile] tyler_gone 2011-02-03 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"And then you go rule the world," Tyler said. Joking. Half-joking. There was that college thing first. "Seriously, good luck."
