Audio: day 4-Tony's lab.

[ No video today. Nope. Just a quick audio post because wow is this bad. Anyone near Tony's lab might have heard the explosion or might see the smoke coming out of it. whoops. ]

H-hey... anyone on the train good at decorating? or might be able to help me fix something so it doesn't look like something might have exploded?

Asking for a friend.

Do you have any better games? I'm kind of bedridden here, kid. You're killing me.

[He gave Peter a look that was so close to a pout, it might have been called it if it wasn't on Iron Man's face.]

Excuse you, Pokemon is a very good game. You've never even played it. But don't write over my save. I have a bunch of legendaries and it took me for. ever to catch them all.

[ He says quickly just in case Tony gets the idea to start a new game. ]

And hey. did you ground me just to take my DS? You coulda asked you know, know.

How would that have been fun for me?

[He shrugged.]

Besides, I had to punish you for announcing and causing an explosion in my office. Does everyone on the train have to know how screwed up our relationship is?

Lastly, no, haven't you noticed? I can't stand pokemon. It's like glorified dog and cockfights. And they're Eva's answer for everything and it's annoying.

Well yeah, that's because that's how the pokemon world works? Humans are very, very dependent on Pokemon. It explains it in the game-but again don't write over my file. Ned's not here to trade me the rare's from Y.

But no-you've got it all wrong. Pokemon is about partnership and friendship. Jeez Mr Stark, it's like you never saw the tv show. [ He shakes his head. ]

How is having little critters who do your battles for you about partnership and friendship? That's like saying slavery was a form of summer camp.

[He rolled his eyes.]

I'm not going to overwrite your game unless you don't bring me a different one and don't bring me a sandwich. Then there's just no telling what will happen. Blood sugar drops, people get a little crazy.. deleting games look fun... you've got ten minutes... pokemon are in danger... why are you still here?

Okay, fine. Jeez!

[ Peter throws his hands up in defeat and then heads off to kitchen to take care of the sandwich problem first since the kitchen was closer. ]

[He grinned and sat back, crossing his legs at the ankles. He could get used to this. It wouldn't quite be service with a smile, but close enough!

By the time Peter got back, he had an arm thrown over his eyes and a small, pained frown on his lips. Was this headache ever going away?]

... you didn't grab coffee did you?

[ Peter returns relatively quickly with the barest of attempts-PP&J and apple slices. But it's something. ]

Uh... pretty sure you're not supposed to drink coffee after a heart attack.

[He sighed heavily.]

Gladio's cut me off from alcohol too. This is Ignis' fault.

[Somehow. He's not sure how, it just is.

Still, he takes the food with a thanks.]

We need a way to vaporize the toxic air, not just filter it through something. Vaporize but not.. you know, use any other chemicals or that could cause a reaction.

[ Peter doesn't respond because he really has no idea how to respond. He's sure that Tony is still aching from the loss and it probably wouldn't help to bring it up right now. ]

Yeah, I'll think on that some, I guess. [ He says a bit awkwardly. ]

[It was very complicated. However, he also gives Peter a look.]

What, you got somewhere else you need to be? Pull up a chair and let's brainstorm.

Uh... yeah, sure I guess. I mean, I thought you were mad at me-but yeah, I can do that.

[ He rambles quickly before grabbing the swivel chair and dragging it closer. ]

Yeah well, I am..

[If he couldn't work with someone just because he was mad at them, he'd never get anything done.

Anyway moving on..]

If I have to give up alcohol, you have to give up energy drinks. For real this time.

[ Peter is just sitting down when he gets that bomb shell and he’s an upset teenager all over again. ]

But I didn’t even say anything about energy drinks! And I haven’t even had one in like a month!

Damn.. then we can't have you giving up something you already are giving up.

[They needed something else so he had some company with his misery.]

You fixed my room, right? Everything just the way I had it and all the smell gone?

[ But he just gave up his DS ]

Yeah-yeah, of course.

[He nodded seemingly satisfied with that. And then he looked back at the DS.

He'd.. forgotten it.

He felt a cold chill run down his spine and he glanced away, handing it back to Peter.]

I think.. I should rest some more.

Yeah, okay. Sure.

But uh... just so we're clear.. I'm not grounded?

[He shook his head, a really uncommon look of.. fear on his face.]

I don't- I don't know. Just.. whatever.

[He put a hand to his forehead and tried to keep the sudden panic he felt from getting too out of control. He just had a heart attack he didn't need.. nope, he was totally going to do that too.]

*Gasp*

I c- can't.. I can't breathe.. Peter!

[ The color drains from Peter's face and he drops the DS (it'll be okay, he's dropped it from higher places) and moves over to Tony. He can still hear his heart beat-which is erratic but that was to be expected-he thinks? What is he supposed to do? He's not a Doctor. Is this a stupid joke? He really hopes this is somehow a joke. ]

It-it's okay Mr Stark-y-you can breath-I can hear you. What do you need? May-Maybe take some deep breaths? I'll do it with you okay? One- [ He sucks in a big breath of air. ]

[This wasn't a joke and he'd try to shoot anyone who started laughing. At least he knew what was happening unlike that first time he experienced an episode.

He gestures frantically waving his hand in a circle as though trying to prompt something.]

The thing.. the trick. Smells, sights..

[Why couldn't he remember things? Even that was getting jumbled in his mind!]

Oh! The sensory count down-right. Yeah. Name five things you can see.

[He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to channel all his attention on this activity. It was difficult when everything in him was screaming like a gust of wind in a blizzard. Opening his eyes again, he started to count.]

You. The mirror. The light.. t- the um.. shit..

[He had to work on it again, fighting the panic. He couldn't lose his mind! He couldn't..]

Isn't that your third day wearing that same shirt?

[ Peter starts to nod encouragingly as Tony starts to list things and then he gets blind-sided by that question and looks down. ]

Uh-well.... I mean. I guess? But my options are this, the one other t-shirt I have and a bunch of polos. I'm not wearing a polo-not unless there's like some enforced dress code or something.

[In other words, he was making progress and finally pulling out of this thing.]

So you'd rather wear the same shirt over and over again instead of wearing a polo?
