I could've sworn Vegas used to look a little different. If the rubble outside the New York New York is supposed to be some sort of tribute to the city's history, it's in very poor taste and I'm not amused.

	You know, despite all your big talk about the importance of punctuality, you are late to everything. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If you're doing a Tony Stark impression, I gotta say, it's spot-on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can you impersonate yourself? Is that a thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_brassrat50 2014-01-08 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure I follow. Unless you're saying you're Tony Stark. In which case I really don't follow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm Tony Stark. It's an... alternate universe thing. Although you look exactly the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_brassrat50 2014-01-08 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. Well, at least you look better in women's clothes than the Tony I know. Which is actually a Vegas story too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charmer. But has he ever been found half-naked in the fountains at the Bellagio? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that what I'm late for? Semi-nude fountain bathing? ~~At least it'd take less alcohol to get me in there with y~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamironman 2014-01-08 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	You're very late for that. Like several years late. But only a month late to get stuck in Las Vegas, and you missed the Statue of Liberty getting blown up like two nights ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just can't leave you unsupervised, can I? [Private] Any casualties? Suspects or leads? Who else is here, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamironman 2014-01-08 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think your supervision would have helped us much in Vegas. [Tony/Rhodey] No casualties. Some suspects. Not sure about leads. Steve was being trolled by some weird Russian guy for a while before it happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_brassrat50 2014-01-08 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on your definition of helping. [Tony/Rhodey] Was it personal or just because he represents America? I could wear the suit for a while, see if I get trolled too. Suspects, plural? Who are the others? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Don't pretend I wouldn't have gotten you into that fountain.

[Tony/Rhodey]
It's hard to say. It sounds like it's a Captain America thing, since Natasha seemed to know who this guy was, and Steve didn't. But given what happened to the statue, I'd say our new friend is big on symbolism.

Well, Loki's here. "On his best behavior." Which I assume is Spanish for "behaving badly while promising Thor he'd never betray him again."

	Oh, I'm sure you could've gotten me into a lot of things. [Tony/Rhodey] Loki's here. Terrific. And I can't get DC on the damn phone. Actually, I'm starting to suspect the Pentagon doesn't even exist here. Or if it does, nobody talks there either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You say that like my male counterpart doesn't.

[Tony/Rhodey]
Seems like nobody has been able to make contact with the outside. We can access the internet, but nothing we post can be seen by anyone who isn't already here. Haven't been able to check anything Stark specific. I guess we're in some sort of bubble universe, unable to contact the outside.

On the plus side, netflix works.

I'm not so much in the habit of bathing with the male Tony. ~~Certainly not without the kinds of drugs we frown upon in the military~~

[Tony/Rhodey]
Not sure how I feel about being cut off from the Pentagon yet. So no access to JARVIS for you? Or is yours called - I don't even know what the female version would be. Juliet? Jemima?

(If it's Jemima, we might need to have a talk.)

I wonder how your Netflix queue compares to my Tony's.

I guess that could get awkward fast. But then, other you has never complained. So I'm pretty sure you're missing out.

[Tony/Rhodey]
It's still JARVIS. Yes to access, but no access to any of my stuff. Nothing unique to our universe.

(If it were Jemima -- which it's not -- it would be after Jemima Puddle Duck, and not, you know. Racist. Unless Jemima Puddle Duck is racist? I don't remember that book at all. Then it would just not ever be Jemima. Which it's still not. And wouldn't be.)

I don't know. Is he addicted to Orange is the New Black, too?

	The work that you do everyday, defending the rights and freedoms of the people who need it is important, so I would never say you weren't helping, Colonel Rhodes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I appreciate it. But I'd also like to make myself useful here, so if you need anything, let me know. [Rhodey/Steve] Tony mentioned a Russian guy trolling you before the explosion. Have you heard from him since? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rhodey! I dunno if this... version, whatever, of you even knows me, but despite being all grumpy and boring, I know you like blowing up bad guys. So seriously... let's hang sometime, and combine our mutual love of making baddies go ker-plooey to help make this place safer for the ones who cant do it themselves. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wade Wilson. Mercenary and occasional freelancer for SHIELD. I'm highly skilled at swordfighting, ballistics, martial arts, and Dance Dance Revolution. And frankly, you, Cap, and Wolverine are the only guys I really trust when the chips are down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure we'll find use for your Dance Dance Revolution skills. I can't say I'm used to trusting people I've just met, but I'm also not used to Tony being a woman, so - we'll make it work. (Reply to this) (Parent)
