They had to go to this party. It had been days since they did anything, and Teddy was almost even missing going to school. Not quite there yet, but if they didn't get out and do something, he felt like he could cross that threshold soon, and Teddy didn't think he could handle that. He really liked not having homework to do, and liked it that way.
Besides, if Tony Stark was throwing it, there was definitely a few autographs to get, or at least sneaky cell phone pictures. The only question was: how to get in? And that was something Teddy had mastered years ago.
"Welcome back, Mr. Stark," the heavy man at the door offered slowly, clearly confused as to when Tony Stark had left to make this return, and why he came now with a strange teenaged boy trailing behind him.
"Thanks, uh..." Tony-Teddy tried, ducking his head and mumbling nonsense that he hoped might have sounded distantly like the guy's name as he darted by, shoving Billy ahead of him to ensure he wasn't stopped. Tony Stark probably knew his bouncer's name. Tony Stark probably knew everything.
Still shoving his boyfriend until they were very far away from anyone who looked official, backed up against a wall, Teddy tried to keep his head down and try to look as unapproachable as possible. It was kind of risky pulling this stunt when the same guy was in attendance. With his back to the room, tucked up close against Billy, he let out a sigh of relief and success, glancing to the nearby girl with a tiny grin that he hoped didn't look too conspiratory. Or inviting or--
Was that Marvel Girl? Teddy didn't think he'd ever be looking at Marvel Girl. She was very much supposed to have retired that name long ago. But there was no mistaking her-- Teddy had a poster of the original X-Men in his room back home, there was no mistaking her. The back of Tony Stark's hand hit Billy's shoulder harder than he intended, and maybe Tony Stark looked a little more freaked and excited than Tony Stark should have to see a really young Jean Grey. But she must have been even younger than Teddy was! This was crazy!
