I hope this isn't a source of great inconvenience for anyone, but I'm afraid I have a bit of a favor to ask.

Please refrain from mentioning me, my whereabouts, my presence, my identity, or even my name to (or in front of) anyone from who has recently appeared in town and appears to be from the 1940s. While I obviously couldn't prohibit any of you from conversing with them entirely, ~~though I might like to,~~ the possibility of a universe-ending paradox developing should any of these time travelers prematurely learn of my existence is of great concern to me. In the event that they retain any knowledge acquired here when they return to their own time, obviously, a very serious situation could develop.

This is particularly pertinent should anyone encounter a scientist named Howard. He's very opportunistic, exactly the sort who might accidentally steal industry secrets.

All the best,
Tony Stark

	It's possible that my concern was motivated, in part, by a strong desire not to talk to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see. Not big on surprise family reunions with someone that doesn't even know you exist yet, eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I'm not particularly keen on those. Even with world-ending paradoxes off the table, I can assure you that nothing good would come of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can't avoid him forever. Any of them, really. He's going to find out sooner or later so you might as well be the one to let the cat out of the bag yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You raise a good point. That is probably the right thing to do. However, I could also hide in my lab, grow my hair out, borrow some outfits from the theater department at the university, and tell people I'm one of the Starks from Game of Thrones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony, you're a grown man. And better yet, you would never manage to make it through a day pretending like you have no more technological knowledge than a medieval knight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~What about Batman? He's more or less a fictionalized version of me.~~ But there's always a chance that he'll disappear before I ever have to speak to him, isn't there? It's a large city. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. oncemighty 2012-06-19 05:18 am UTC (link)
	There's a chance, yes. But I wouldn't hold my breath. If it helps, I will try and make sure the lab stays secure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I guess I shouldn't. Honestly, I'm not sure which of us would be more traumatized by the experience. I would appreciate that greatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. oncemighty 2012-06-19 05:56 am UTC (link)
	It would probably be a toss up. Equally traumatized but in different ways. It shouldn't be too difficult. And if all else fails, the security monitors will let you know before anyone enters. If it still frightens you that much, you can make a dash for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably best not to think about it. Well, he's not yet familiar with Iron Man. I could just spend the rest of my life in the suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. Do you really think you could manage that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tesla. tonystarks 2012-06-19 07:30 am UTC (link)
	It certainly wouldn't be feasible, but it does seem the preferable option. Besides, the suit is climate controlled. It would be... almost practical. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. oncemighty 2012-06-19 07:43 am UTC (link)
	But would it really be worth it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tesla. tonystarks 2012-06-19 07:44 am UTC (link)
	If it worked? Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. oncemighty 2012-06-19 07:47 am UTC (link)
	Then, if you want to try, I won't stand in your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tesla. tonystarks 2012-06-19 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	I realize that what I'm asking for is very unusual, but I sincerely appreciate your help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony. oncemighty 2012-06-19 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Really, on the scale of weird things I've ever been asked to do, this falls well into the normal spectrum. (Reply to this) (Parent)
