Yeah, think it was only ever one pervert in a bed there. But believe me, ending up in similar position I was in about thirty years ago, not awesome.

[not_a_hero]

You poor dears.

[arrogantalloy]

Your sarcasm astounds me, really. But hey, not all of us can be like you and get the almost fairy tale wedding now, can we?

[not_a_hero]

Every fairy tale has a good ole fashion villian. I've regreted marriage nearly as much as I've enjoyed it.

It really is amazing how easy it is to ruin your whole future by age eleven. I don't envy me and you certainly shouldn't. Though I am perhaps a little attracted to your new chest implant.

[arrogantalloy]

You've ruined you're future, huh? Well there's an interesting take on things.

Are you going to start flirting with my reactor, because even for me, that's a little weird.

[not_a_hero]

I can only blame Jim so much.

But sadly I think there's little room for your chest piece in my marriage.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony looks momentarily unimpressed with the mention of Jim. But moves on fast enough]

Guess I can't really argue that.

You never know, John likes things that are fascinating, doesn't he?

[not_a_hero]

Medically fascinating, perhaps. Still doubt it will make much of an anniversary present.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, can't say I'd get a lot out of that either.

[not_a_hero]

Free trip to London though with your resources I'm sure that's hardly a perk.

[arrogantalloy]

Sort of become a reverse to what I used to do in school. I visit once a year. So you're right, not really a perk.

[not_a_hero]

Well, I'm sure if required, we'll cross paths again.

[arrogantalloy]

That almost sounds fatalistic. Didn't know you dabbled in predetermined arts.

[He smirks, knowing what he meant, but choosing to be him instead.]

[not_a_hero]

The best thing about muggles is they don't immediately begin claiming things as occlumency or divination. Don't you start now.

You haven't seen John, have you? Rather hoping he's not a child as well.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony laughs, knowing that it was going to get that reaction out of him.]

You're still too easy at times.

John? Yeah, I saw him.

[not_a_hero]

John would disagree.

But good; you've seen him. I imagine he's looking for me as well.

[arrogantalloy]

John doesn't enjoy getting the rise out of you that I do.

He asked about you, said I didn't know where you were, though. Because well, I didn't.

[not_a_hero]

Very few do. You get to have that special honor more or less to yourself.

It won't be hard to figure out where he'll start looking.

[arrogantalloy]

And I'm sure I'll fight hard to keep that honour.

[He gives his practised smug grin.]

So, guessing a secret cupboard that you two used to frequent? Or was it near the forest so you could have that slight thrill of being seen by wild animals?

[not_a_hero]

Like I ever took a page out of your book when it came to romancing John at Hogwarts.

[arrogantalloy]

If you had, you'd have been together faster
