Sir, Colonel Rhodes is on his way. Shouldn't you be preparing for his arrival?

"In a minute, Jarvis. Just have to finish one...small....detail--there. All done," he said as he dropped the very fine tipped paintbrush onto the desk. Tony normally would have had Jarvis render the Mark II in an array of colors just to make fun of Rhodey's weekend wedding to a guy, but he figured a small rainbow delicately painted inside of the helmet where only he could see it would be substantial enough. Until he decided to take it off.

He'd already been down there for hours running scans, diagnostics and what have you on the Mark II, so he was thoroughly grimey and he wasn't sure just when Rhodey would get there. But anyone who looked at Tony could tell he was happy he was on his way. He'd really missed having his best friend around. Then a baby cooed which distracted Tony from his decision to finally go and shower. He smiled and walked over to Remy, who was holding the baby in her arms, bouncing him lightly to entertain him. He was definitely a Stark with the jet black hair and the curiosity for mechanical things since Edward currently had his gaze on Butterfingers, who was pinching motions at Edward as if he might go for the cheeks.

"Hey, if you pinch him and leave a mark, I'm using you for spare parts on his future tricycle," he said as he wagged a finger at Butterfingers. The robot drooped as he was chastised and retreated off to go and do something else. "I'm going to go get cleaned up before he gets here. Might as well look like a family man and not a bum," he said, kissing her first then kissing Edward on the top of his head.

	Sophie opened her mouth to complain, and then reconsidered and shut it again. She was pretty sure she could get Jarvis to help her behind his back, but life would be a lot easier if Daddy did it for her. Now she just needed a name... "Shrimp lo mein for me. I'm not that hungry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rhodey watched the exchange with Tony and Sophie, noting that she backed down awfully easy. Smart kid. Just like her dad. He grinned in spite of the situation. This was great. His best friend was happy, had a great family... Rhodey couldn't be happier for him. He would probably even overlook whatever little surprise Tony had thrown into his suit. Unless it really did shoot rainbows.

"General Tso's for me." Rhodey would pretty much eat anything, much like Tony, but he was in the mood for the General's today.

Then he chuckled a little at Remy. "This guy sounds like a real winner." Rhodey made a mental note to "accidentaly" bump into this guy's bad leg if he ever met the guy.

Right when Sophie looked like she might open her mouth, Tony stuck his finger up and gave her that look that screamed 'ah-ah shut it now or no suit'. Sophie was just as bad as Tony, and that was why they knew how to handle one another.

"I'll eat whatever Remy's eating," he said with a shrug. Yeah, they could call him henpecked for all he cared, but he'd usually eat off her plate anyway.

"I wouldn't worry about House. If he knows what's good for him, he won't annoy my wife or I'll give him two limps. Well, maybe I won't but I bet I could scare the hell out of him by blowing up his bike." He really wouldn't do that kind of thing. Okay, yeah, he would but still.

Remy was just kind of glad that there was a friend of Tony's who actually had some sense and would hopefully keep him out of trouble. Well really big trouble. Maybe. That and he didn't have tits and an ass and wasn't in love with him, so that was probably for the best too. "Gotcha.. and no blowing up House's bike or he'll... be evil and take mine.. that's a no no.."

She gave Tony a look and then went to go order their chinese food, letting them talk amongst themselves for a while.

Sophie slouched down in a chair and tried to think up a topic to discuss that didn't involve pranking Daddy (while Daddy was still in the room. The best pranks were the ones where he couldn't prove it was you.)

"So... Uncle Rhodey. Are you going to keep your promise and teach me how to fight? Back when I'm from you promised to teach me self-defense. My weekends are free, and it's a very dangerous world here. Ask Daddy how he met Mom in the first place."

She smiled sweetly and attempted to look the most innocent and vulnerable she'd ever looked before. Who knows? Maybe it would work this time since HE didn't remember her growing up around him.

Rhodey looked from Sophie to Tony and back again. Somehow he got the feeling there was more going on here than what he was aware of, but he wasn't sure what. Sophie didn't look like she was trying to pull anything...

He looked back to Tony for a second, and then looked back at Sophie. "If your parents are cool with it, then yeah, I'll teach you how to fight." He definitely wasn't going to teach her if her parents didn't approve. While he did think that she should know how to defend herself, especially in a world where there were both good and bad super-people in abundance, he wasn't going to overstep his boundaries.

Publicly, and in front of her parents, that was his story. If this was something she reeeeeally wanted, and if she knew how to be quiet and subtle about it, then maybe he'd consider doing it on the sly. Mostly because of the aforementioned belief that she really should know at least a few self-defense techniques in a world like this one.

Tony would kick the shit out of House if he even thought about taking Remy's bike, nevermind what else he'd rig up against him. He was sure he could convince Cuddy to let him into House's office sometime so mess with his computer. And usually with Sophie and Tony, there was always something deeper going on. The two of them had superhuman levels of subterfuge at times. "I don't know," he replied, combing his fingers through his goatee. "Well, I guess there isn't any harm in it. Because I'd rather you keep the boys at bay instead of me. I'm liable to break something important."

If Rhodey was going to secretly teach her, it wouldn't have surprised Tony in the slightest, but if he found out, that suit of his was definitely going to shoot rainbows. Maybe even a cloud of sparkles as he flew. "So, do you plan to work for Stark Industries again? We could always use a liaison, or hell, you could run your own division. So much for the weapons manufacturing stopping in this world. It seems like every time I turn around, something is threatening this place in a big end of the world kind of way."
