We're the kids in America,

TONE: Vaction-y, and group bond-y.
RATING: PG
WHEN: Backdated (9th - 14th July)
WHERE: Heathrow Airport, and New York
WHAT: Tony is taking his collection of misfits to New York.
STATUS: Ongoing

[It's that time of year again when Tony packs up and goes to New York for a week or two. But this year is different. This year he's actually decided that not only does he have friends, but he likes them enough to invite them to his second home in his Upper East Side penthouse apartment.

He plans to make sure everyone has a good time and hope that it doesn't turn out to be the worst week of his life.]

Comments

The Runway of Heathrow Airport.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony for once, isn't messing around and deliberately holding up the plane to make peoples lives difficult.

In a weird show of responsibility, Tony arranged for cars to pick up and bring his friends straight to the tarmac, out front of his father's companies private Boeing 737.

In side the jet, it looks more like a comfortable lounge area than it does an actual plane, with three attractive flight attendants who will attend to everyone's needs. Jarvis is in the plane, making sure everything is prepared.

Tony leans against the travel stairs leading up to the plane, waiting for the others to arrive.]

Upper East Side Penthouse

[arrogantalloy]

[The penthouse is 4 bed room, 3 of the rooms are prepared for guests. One of the rooms has been set aside for just Natasha, but whether she uses it or not is her choice. The fourth room is Jarvis' and off limits to all, even Tony.

The place is very open and has an almost art gallery feel to it. Beautiful, but not really lived in.

He has several gaming consoles with games and has a fully stocked kitchen. And a ping pong table.]

Coney Island and it's Amusements.

[arrogantalloy]

[Coney Island has a number of big and small rides, which makes it fun for the whole family. There's a Ferris wheel, the cyclone roller coaster, the parachute drop, a carousel, bumper cars and a haunted house, not to mention several other things to do.]

General Sight Seeing

[arrogantalloy]

[For all the really touristy things, like Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and eating at all the good eateries and side walk carts.]

[brothor]

[Thor feels pretty awkward through most of the ride. As much self aware awkwardness as he's capable of, anyway. Still, he manages to grin at Tony as he steps out of the car and he strides over to offer him a hand to shake.

Oh. You may also notice Bruce is thrown over his shoulder. He had seemed alright when he got in the car, but he gradually seemed less keen on the idea of getting OUT of the car. Thor, being the great friend he is, gave him a helping hand.]

I brought you a present.

[brothor]

[Girls be damned, Thor is going to hang around in his boxers anyway. He's raided the kitchens and is staring at the gaming consoles in wonderment. He's eating poptarts straight of the packet and seems to have fashioned himself a pillow fort. How you address him when you enter determines whether you are offered a poptart or a pillow to the face.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony stares at the pillow fort for a very long minute. Then realises he can't help himself any longer as he tugs out a load bearing pillow, to make the whole thing collapse on Thor. He looks more than a little amused at this.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Just as Tony goes to give Thor a greeting nod, he can't help but just stare stoically at his designer Bruce shoulder bag.]

Looks a bit big for me to take on the plan. Maybe we should stick it in baggage and I'll open it up when we get to the Penthouse...

[He grins, unable to not find Bruce's predicament funny.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Has long since given up on fighting since customs, BUT NOW-!

Flails, nearly kicking Tony in the face as he kicks.]

Thor, let me down right now! You can't make me get on that damn death trap!!!

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony leans back sharply and takes a few steps back, lifting his hands defensively]

I'm almost offended by that. This jet has a great safety record. I fly in it at least 4 times a year in it and I haven't even had to deal with turbulence. Would you just calm down.

[Tony looks at Thor]

I'd keep a good grip on him, if I were you.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

If this is the plane, I'm wondering what your place in New York is like.

[Okay, Natasha was impressed, but she's trying not to let it show.]

[actuallyspeakslatin]

[Natasha waited until no one was around her room to do something she secretly enjoyed. She took her shoes off and climbed up on to the plush bed and started jumping up and down on it. After a few good jumps she fell back in to the blankets and was glad that she decided to go on the trip.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony chuckles]

It's bigger, with better decorations.

But then the penthouse doesn't have flight attendants that make a fantastic ice cream sundae.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I'm sure there will be something to make up for it.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

[You're never alone, Natasha. Clint will always show up to watch you do all the stupid stuff no one knows about.] Ya could jump 'igher wit'aht the blankets.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

[She's not going to sit up, she knows it's Clint. She will throw a pillow at him though.]

That's for tomorrow when I've had time to sleep in the bed, all by myself since I have my own room.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

[He throws up his arm to protect his precious face from the pillow assault.] Well, aintcha the lucky twist? At least ya don' 'ave to share a room wit' a big, snorin' rock.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It's not my fault that Mr. Jarvis realized that I'm too delicate to share a room with the rest of you.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

[He just laaaughs.] Yer delicate? Yer a sorry cryer, ya know that?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

You're just jealous that you're going to have to ask nicely if I'll let you crash in my room.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

I don' 'ave to ask ya for anythin'. I could jus' camp on the couch if I want.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I suppose that is true. A lumpy couch is better than sleeping next to a snoring rock.

[patrioticspells]

[Have a Steve, not looking at all baffled at the airport or the plane. He has a small bag, and he fidgets with the straps.]

You have your own plane.

[Note that he does not sound impressed.]

[patrioticspells]

[Thor no, nobody wants to see you in your boxers!! But Steve wants his bro time, and he's going to crawl into the pillow fort, looking amused.]

This is a really nice place you've got set up.

[greenmoonrising]

[Bruce being Bruce has decided to hide in his assigned room having just enough energy after that damn flight to kick off his shoes and socks before crawling under the covers to pass out.

Careful how you wake the sleeping puppy.]
