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

You need to learn to share, Tony.

[ it's then that he spots the art supplies and an actual smile temporarily takes over his expression as he goes over to inspect them. ]

[biggerstick]

[was going to say something but then Steve is all happy about colored pencils, so instead he stands up, grabs something to tinker with and flops on the couch]

[paragon]

[ if it makes you feel any better I'm eventually going to chuck the tissues at your head ]

[biggerstick]

[JUST IN TIME FOR HIM TO SNEEZE. Gosh how lucky]

Thanks!

[paragon]

Bless you.

[biggerstick]

[laughs]

Thanks.

[paragon]

What's so funny?

[biggerstick]

You're just so nice.

[paragon]

Says the guy who got me colored pencils?

[biggerstick]

[gestures at his armor]

Gray doesn't do it justice.

[paragon]

Gotcha.

[biggerstick]

You look like crap, by the way.

[not that he looks much better but]

[paragon]

Not surprised.

[ apparently done inspecting the art supplies he moves into fuller view, and Tony will be able to see that he's— holding a stuffed bear. a stuffed bear with tufts of its stuffing poking out of a hole where an arm should be. ]

[biggerstick]

[I understood that reference.]

... you can sew?

[paragon]

You asked me that last time. That hard to believe?

[biggerstick]

Did I? I thought I'd asked about knitting. [sneezes again] JARVIS put on some music.

[and suddenly!11 Loud punk rock]

[paragon]

. . . Jarvis, could you turn the music down?

[biggerstick]

[the volume is turned down because JARVIS is a disloyal jerk]

No, you can't do that.

[paragon]

Are you sick?

[biggerstick]

No, that's ridiculous.

JARVIS.

[and he sneezes again]

[paragon]

Tony.

[biggerstick]

I'm getting a new AI. One that listens.

[back to tinkering, not even turning to look at Steve]

It was the snow cloud, I'll be fine by tomorrow

[paragon]

[ derailed for the moment ]

— what? What snow cloud?

[biggerstick]

Jack Frost gave me a personalized snow cloud for a bit. He's a moron.

[paragon]

Did you deserve it?
