Hi, sweetheart. I meant to check in closer to last Friday, but time got away from me. How did you fare with the moon and the bad luck on the same night? Are you okay?

Someone is a few days closer to gray hair. What are we doing to celebrate?

I think I’m going to ask Pepper to marry me again. We are already engaged in our time and I don’t want to waste any more time here. That said, maybe it is the marriage thing that is bad luck. I don’t want to lose her again.

[FILTER: DC + Marvel Heroes]
Are any of you retired in your time? Or plan on retiring in your time? My fiancée, when we were in our reality together, always wanted me to settle down and, honestly, that is all I wanted in the last few years I remember before coming here. Things were quiet for a while, but then a crazy purple alien and his cronies threatened the world so I got sucked back in. Things looked pretty bad from the point I come from although I know it works out ~~for everyone else~~ in the end. Anyway, I guess this is my question --- do you think you could ever retire? Do you think something bad could happen here and you could just not respond? Is that selfish? Or duty served? Is duty ever served when you have these capabilities? It feels selfish, but I want to have ~~the life I missed~~ a life with Pepper and the kids here.

	Of the things I regret, that's not one of them. But there's different kinds of getting involved, and no one says you need to fly out any time something comes to bite us in the ass. Least of all when there are kids that need someone here that can hold the fort. Y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Tony \| Clint notyourplayboy 2019-09-19 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, me either. You make sense intellectually speaking. I was talking to Cisco and he mentioned a real piece of work in his time. We've been fairly lucky here so far, but what if those types show up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've been off and on. I'll probably retire entirely at some point, eventually I'm not going to be able to keep up, but so far I've kept on getting dragged back in

I think you can be retired and still help on a one-off basis though. There are plenty of civilians who do heroic things when it's needed, it doesn't make them professional heroes. It just means they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Probably different when you can just switch into a support role. So far we've needed medical just as much as we've needed people on the front lines so it's pretty easy to ignore any sense that I'm not contributing just because I'm not out there fighting.

[Tony]
I keep thinking "oh right, that's soon" and then forgetting about it again. Something casual and low effort probably.

There are different ways for you to fall back without completely cutting out completely (Not that you or Pep don't deserve a break from all the shit). You could be in the war room calling the shots, or be the ace in the hole for anything big enough to pull the suit out.

But honestly? There are enough of us here that I'm confident that it'll be okay if you want to take your steps down.

[Tony | Rhodey]
You should ask Pepper to marry you. And you should get married. You should do all the shit that makes this place home.

And if anyone could organize a big wedding quick? It'd be Pepper. She probably already has lists somewhere.
