[Cameras are popping out all over, and there's some murmurs among the crowd - a good many of them being 'Who's that guy with Stark?'- but dozens of reporters, journalists, bloggers, and various hanger ons are gathered together in one big press conference room, where Nathan and Tony are seated next to each other.

You have got to be freaking kidding me.

[incywincyhero]

Look, all I mean is --

-- when you talk to me like that, it's like none of it ever happened. I can't forget like that.

[liverletdie]

Nobody expects you to forget. Some of us do like to move on, though.

[incywincyhero]

Yeah, it was a mistake, whatever, I get it.

[liverletdie]

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying that we were friends. Friends who disagreed, but still friends.

[incywincyhero]

Yeah, and you're the one who's ignoring that.

[liverletdie]

Hardly. I've been nothing but congenial.

[incywincyhero]

The same way you are to everybody.

[liverletdie]

Do you want to be treated differently? Is that what you want?

[incywincyhero]

...

I just want to know if any of it meant anything.

[liverletdie]

[ HURR EMOTIONS. Fatherly ones. He does not do well with this. ]

Peter.

Why would I have even brought you in if it didn't mean anything?

[incywincyhero]

Because I was useful.

And easy to manipulate, like I always have been.

[Hello self-loathing, took you long enough.]

[liverletdie]

[ Well yes, it was those things, but others too. He knows better than to say that! ]

No, because I trusted you, Peter.

[incywincyhero]

[Not quite ready to accept that.]

Right, because I was too gormless to be dangerous to you.

[liverletdie]

If you weren't dangerous, I never would have bothered with you at all. Superhumans who aren't dangerous in their own right don't get asked to become Avengers.

[incywincyhero]

That's ... don't try to distract me with compliments.

Creepy, unsettling compliments.
