Homecoming 2017, Community Centre [Saturday Evening]

Just when you thought it was time for the island's collective consciousness to maybe move on from the whole sharkicane thing... along came Homecoming! Well, the theme was actually "Under the Sea", but like the Student Council wasn't going to have glitter-encrusted sharks feature heavily in the decorations? Please.

Of course, it wasn't just sharks: there were plenty of glitter-dolphins, and fish, and octopuses octopi octopodes too. Jellyfish-shaped lights hung from the ceiling, and strategically-placed LED projectors were set up to complete the underwater ambiance.

"Technically, probably not?" Karolina offered, now smiling a little wryly and sheepishly. "But I went to school here with a version of you."

She paused.

"Also before that, another version of you tried to send me to child protective services."

"I can safely say I am neither of those versions," Tony replied. But the latter sounded sort of like something he might do if he thought they needed it.

Karolina could also see that version's reasons a little bit clearer these days.

"I figured," she said, her smile remaining a little lopsided. She stuck out her hand. "I'm Karolina. I'm, uh, the school's guidance counselor."

"Tony," he said, taking her hand and smiling back. "Civics teacher with Steve over there."

He gestured over into the man in question's direction. Because clearly she needed to know all about the Avengers just chilling here.
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

Karolina glanced over with Tony's gesture.

And then blinked. "Wait, that's not -- ?" she asked, with the air of someone who already knew it was exactly who she thought it was, despite forming her question with a negative. And that she wouldn't need to actually finish said question.

"Probably a different version too," he offered.
solarhippie: ([neu] Oh wow what is that?)

"Yes." This one, she was sure about. "The one that did send me to the LA child services was way older."

Honestly, should've known that coming back to Fandom meant Avengers all over the place.

"He won't bite if you say hello," Tony assured her. "Promise. We're nicer than we seem."

And that was about when Karolina realized how her behavior was probably coming off, here.

She cringed. "Sorry, I... Me and my friends, we weren't really fans of the Avengers when we were kids. It was, it was complicated."

"Things do tend to be," Tony replied with a little smile.

"I should leave you to your partying," Karolina replied, after a second's hesitation. Not that there was much partying to be done when you were at least trying to chaperone, but.

It was weird to be around Avengers. A bit. She'd ease into it.

"Enjoy yourself," Tony said, trying not to smile at his awkward it was turning out to be. "Stop by the shop if you need to talk."
