WHO: The Genius Club (13, Strange, Stark) WHAT: The first meeting AKA Tony’s coffee date with two doctors. WHERE: COFFEE. WHEN: Sunday, April 28 RATING: Low? There might be a few Endgame spoilers in here because Natasha said stuff and Tony’s really thinking about it.
Tony would be the first to admit that if this was a meet that had already happened regularly or even once before now, he might very well have called it off just because with the appearance of Natasha, he had an awful lot on his mind that didn’t just have to do with the concepts of time and dimensional travel.
Like a lot. The kind of stuff that wasn’t intellectual so much as existential.
But in the end, he decided that bouncing ideas and concepts off the walls with like minded people (with different areas of expertise than him, even) would be a wonderful distraction. About as good as one could be, actually.
So he texted Stephen (which, weird, but there it was) and then The Doctor about when they ought to meet and made his way over earlier than all that in order to get a chat in with his two favorite Avenger Baristas to see how they were doing and to apologize ahead of time for what would most likely be a good deal of yelling. And to tell them to just keep the coffee flowing, and in return offered to build them whatever it was they wanted next for their shop.
It worked out for everyone, really.
After that, all he had to do was set up shop by pulling out some pencil and paper (ugh, how archaic) and the new tablet that he’d been working on building lately (less archaic, but not completely up to his speed either. He’d get there, once he found the right parts).
