Re: Ned and OPEN
It was good to get out of the Tower for a little while. He spent the majority of his time in the penthouse workshop and lab, or suiting up for test flights over the Atlantic. Except for spending time with Morgan or Darcy, he was pretty holed up. Which could be dangerous, when he was left to his own devices.
Devices were currently at home, except for the internal body mods. This was a time to celebrate some high school graduations, after all. Tony was dressed in a clean casual suit and sneakers, walking through with a lightly spiked drink. Which he could do, because a bevvy of nanobots were keeping his liver from getting pickled. Best idea ever.
He walked up to Ned and gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"Heya, Mister Leeds. How's it going? Bet it feels good to leap into the deep end of the pool, huh?"
Probably not the best thing to say to someone having an existential crisis right now. But Tony Stark opened his mouth and out came the metaphorical equivalent of that giant rolling rock ball from the first Indiana Jones movie, rolling right on out there. Unavoidable.
