Dream 001
Warnings: Possible spoilers for Captain America maybe*
Effects: None
[The scene is the Stark Expo, quiet, after the Vanko mess has been cleaned up but Tony's still in the suit, helmet in one hand as he heads through the wreckage. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Pepper's probably going to be hating on it for the next year or something though unless he can always kiss her as a distraction. From seemingly nowhere, a man with slicked back hair, thin moustache and clothing that hasn't been the height of fashion in at least half a lifetime approaches.
Tony frowns, mutters 'for the love of God' under his breath and turns to leave.
"Tony!" If there is any voice he doesn't want to hear over and above that of Justin Hammer's, it's going to be the voice belonging to this guy. This guy who looks unbelievably like Tony. He jogs to catch up with him and grins. Tony folds his arms and frowns. He might be considering hitting him with the helmet. "Would you look at you?"
"I know, always improvement upon the original right?"
"Tony," if that voice sounds like a parent rebuking a child then that's because it is. Because this guy? He's Howard Stark. "I thought you'd be a little more grateful, all things considered."
"Newsflash, dad, but videos from beyond the grave don't make up for a lifetime of crappy parenting."
It's Howard's turn to frown and the resemblance between the two men is undeniable. "Do you realise what you did Tony? You created something."
"Rediscovered. C'mon, it'll still be you that gets the glory should I decide to release this to the public. Or Fury. Fury probably knows. Probably has some sort of spy inside my brain by now."
But they walk (or rather Tony walks and Howard sort of does whatever a dead person does in a dream) in a not wholly unpleasant silence before Howard taps a hand on the suit.
"Did you ever hear about the world expo?"
"Almost every day the entire time I was at MIT."
"And?"
"Heard it was a failure." Tony manages a smirk then. "Don't worry dad, I got this."
He puts the helmet in place and there's the blast of the repulsors in his hands and feet as he leaves Howard Stark and the ruined expo behind.]
[And Tony wakes up, regarding the Dreamberry with an expression that's half amused and half accused.]
That's the last time I eat pizza right before bed time. Anyway, just wanted to let anyone know that's interested that I plan on displaying the progress so far of my workshop this Saturday. Open from ten am onward, refreshments will be provided, come on down and poke about through my things to your heart's content.
[[ooc: * considering Tony grew up in his father's shadow and had his own expo, it's fair to say that he'd have known all about the red hover car thing]]
