"Okay, what is this nerdy crap?"

The piece of paper in Tamsin's hands was definitely some kind of nerdy crap, she was sure of it. Still, it was their best shot at at least getting the island back to somewhere that had actually decent bars.

She eyed the weird rocks embedded into the wall by Galactica Point. "I always thought some kid with too much time and no basement to fester in had come up with this," she muttered. She glanced over her shoulder at the waiting hordes. "Okay, here we go. Up, up, down, down--"

Oh god. It really was nerdy crap.

"YouTube apparently." Tony had given up asking why after the third time. "I was just glad no one was breaking doors anymore "

"So, remember back when I said your villains were weird," Hardison said, giving Tony a bit of side eye.

Why would you hang out with these people, Tony? They just hurt you! And your tech!

"Oh, the team is way weirder," Tony agreed cheerfully. "Infinitely so."

Re: Gather Up And Wait

"An' this is why I hung out with a crew of thieves instead," Hardison declared.

Well, that and also being a thief. That was another big reason.

"Somehow I don't think I'd be too welcome in that company," Tony replied dryly.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

"I dunno," Hardison mused. "You might be a superhero, be we were bein' led by an honest man, so..."

And doing damn right by other people, too.

"I've got a bit of a bad reputation back home," Tony said carefully, scratching at his goatee. "Not the whole superhero thing."

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"I mean, so do I," Hardison pointed out. "...At least in some circles."

But he had a feeling that's not what Tony meant.

"Rich business man that don't play nice with others?" he hazarded. "Too busy gettin' richer?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[imafuturist]

"Pretty close," Tony replied easily. "I've been called heartless quite a bit."

Which bothered him more than held like to admit.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

Hey, he ha physical proof he had a heart!

"Hey," Hardison said easily, "if four thieves can turn around an' start usin' their skills for good--" Still illegally, but definitely good! "--who says that a rich businessman can't rediscover the heart he's had all along?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

"Like the Grinch?" Tony teased.

"I ain't a doctor--hell, I only went to college for about a week as part of a con--but I'm pretty sure you catch your heart growin' three sizes, you should get that checked out."

Best advice.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[imafuturist]

"But I've only just regrown this one!"

Which... was probably also concerning, Tony.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Still not a doctor," Hardison said. "Still kinda troublin' to hear."

So, yeah, he agreed narrative.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[imafuturist]

Tony just made inappropriate jokes about his own well-being. It was a thing.

"At least it's not magic?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"We need to talk about what you consider upsides," Hardison snorted.
