[JARVIS :D ignoring Tony now]

Hello, JARVIS. It's been a while.

[EVERYONE LIKES MY STUFF BETTER THAN THEY LIKE ME. Whateverrrr, he'll be eating over here]

Good afternoon, Agent Coulson. If you would like to direct your attention to the monitor on your left, I can walk you through Mr. Stark's projects.

I'd like that.

[He's so much more polite to your AI too]

[Tony eats while JARVIS shows Coulson half a dozen projects. Among the notable ones there's a kid-safe suit labeled with 'get responsible input', a prosthetic arm with a bunch of notes on nerve connections and notes with 'do more reading', and plans to make an AI stove which going by time-logs one could guess Tony did while at his most sleep deprived.

There are also finished projects, one is the claw bot running around the lab, and another is a teddy bear AI.]

[raises his eyebrows at the teddy bear and tries to look around for it]

What's with the teddy bear and who's the other suit for?

[there is no bear in sight. Tony looks up from his food, on the bright side he's got a great appetite, on the not so bright side this probably means he's been skipping meals]

The bear was a pet for Steve, it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. Barnes hates it, it's great. And the suit's a... safe-mode thing? I don't know I haven't even started it. I thought I could have it give safe rides for whoever wanted them, kinda like a really cool roller-coaster? Long-term thing, still don't know if it's worth the effort and haven't asked anyone responsible about it.

[if I have to bring you food everyday.... no. No maybe he'll just ask Steve to do that]

I don't think the suit's a good idea.

And when's the last time you slept and ate before I arrived?

Uh... No idea, twenty-four and twelve?

Forty-five and twenty, sir. Unless you would like to count a Kit Kat as a meal.

...

... or that.

Stark. Take a nap.

We're getting along, don't start that again.

That's exactly why I'm starting this again. I can't watch you do this.

Thanks for the food. I'm sure you can find your own way out.

...

JARVIS, you have some music here, don't you?

[guess he'll be taking up a seat at Steve's corner. Since it's the neatest]

Of course, Agent Coulson. Any preferences?

[Meanwhile Tony looks annoyed]

I'm sorry, did you miss the part where I kicked you out?

Play Tony's favorites.

[well, you get AC/DC and The Clash]

... why am I suddenly Tony? That can't be good.

You think too much. Carry on with what you're doing.

I can't, you're messing with my Feng Shui.

JARVIS will make up for it.

That's not how Feng Shui works. What do you want from me?

I'm concerned.

[BUT WHY]

Jesus. Fine, look I'm sleeping when I'm tired, and yeah okay, the food thing is a problem but it's not like I'm doing it on purpose. I just forget.

I'll have JARVIS set up reminders.

You're pushing the limit of exhaustion.

Look. Will you try sleeping if someone you trust is here?

It's not about company. I just can't sleep, very literally can't sleep.

Look, I'm sure you'll stage an intervention if I actually become unable to function, but for the time being I think I'm doing alright.

I'd like to avoid it getting to that stage.

How's exhaustion working so far?
