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.

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."
