[What does an insomniac superhero do at night? They wander off the pool house and build their own working area in the underground labs]

[takes off his mask and lets Steve pull him up]

Ecstatic.

[ gives him a pat on the shoulder once he's steady on his feet that makes drops of water fly everywhere ]

[stumbles a little, looking completely exhausted]

Pool house? There's a shower there... and dry clothes.

[ looks down at himself and nods ]

Sure you can make it?

I could fly myself there.

Right.

[ waves a hand ]

I'll catch up with you.

... okay.

[he'll fly off and hopefully not crash into anything on the way]

[ shakes his head and jogs his way to the pool house ]

[once Steve gets there Tony will be out of the suit and flopped down on a bed. There's a clean towel and clothes that will probably fit Steve on a table nearby. And Tony is awake, just flopping]

[ taking off his shoes when he comes in so he doesn't track in all the mud ]

Good, you made it! Almost expected to find you lying on the ground halfway here.

And you keep underestimating me. Honestly, I'm hurt.

[ just laughs ]

Shower?

[gestures towards the bathroom]

Go ahead. Unless you're inviting me to join you, then I'll have to pass.

[ rolls his eyes and moves to the table to pick up the clothes, which he holds up in a 'thank you' gesture. as he turns in the direction of the shower he calls back over his shoulder ]

You keep up with that stuff I'm gonna start thinking you have somethin' dirty on your mind, Stark!

[laughs, though he sounds exhausted]

I usually do.

Well, keep me out of it!

[ that one echoes against the tiles, and then he closes the door behind him ]

[just flops again, god]

[ he's only in there for like, five minutes before he emerges again, damp but clean as a whistle ]

[not moving]

Did you wash behind your ears?

Of course.

[ sitting in a chair nearby and tipping his head back against it, though he actually looks . . . not quite as weary as when he came to the lab ]

We should do that more often.

Yeah.

He agrees! There might be some hope for you yet.

[sits up groaning]

I should take a shower.

Don't let me stop you.

[stands and walks slowly to the bathroom]

You should get us dinner... breakfast? I don't know what time is.
