What: Tony celebrates his birthday somewhat differently.
Rating: Low for Tony
Over the years, Tony had celebrated his birthday in different ways at different times. There had been the period when only a massive, free-wheeling party that ended with him drunk and in bed with three women would do. Those days were long gone, bit he still liked a party for it, usually having it do double duty as a fundraising - do some good in the world, and he still had a great time. But the past few years, due to Frost Giants or apparent death, he hadn't properly marked it.
He had lost track of the days, this year, until he slept poorly one night, worked in the lab until the sun agreed with the clock in being actually morning, and say the date on JARVIS's CNN scroll un the shower.
He wasn't sure how he felt about any of it, the not noticing it until it crept up on him, or the fact that last year at this time he had just been released from Doom's captivity. This year had been Skrulls, and he was just so damn tired. Was this what "getting old" felt like?
So, he wad determined to do what he ways did when he was unsure: ignore it and please himself. He bounded upstairs and looked for Pepper. "So I'm thinking California and sushi," he said without preamble.
