You make it sound like I’m trafficking organs. But yes, you heard right. The Sound Eaters don’t exactly walk in for physicals and a lollipop. Do you have some?
The stipulation had better not be my kidney. If it’s information anything I find out will be shared with the community. But alright, out with it. What do you want?
If you've given your technology up multiple times then you haven't actually given it up, have you? That's like an addict trying and failing to go cold turkey.
Jessica's the only who to have directly attacked me, but she's had help. Why?
You'll recall that the last time we talked about this you acted all gung-ho superhero and then you did jackshit. Forgive me if I'm sceptical. I received a death threat from the mayor of this town, how about that? And no, it wasn't the dog.
I'm oddly flattered you think my telling you to pound sand is superhero-esque, but you're kind of the last person I want to hear about my charismatic personality from. I have Castle. And Jones. Supergirl. Clara. By the way you should know F.R.I.D.A.Y. reads the network in its entirety. So.
I need to know you're not running around impersonating Snidely Whiplash. Not that you're going to stop. Or spare the dramatics in an attempt to sidetrack me. But you do realize the next time you're caught abusing someone, and you will be caught, someone might just have the bright idea to give you a glossectomy.
Somehow I'm not reassured. I've stuck to the terms of my deal with Jessica and I intend to keep doing so. If you are in my corner, don't go telling people to keep away from me. Really ruins that first impression.
I know you said the conversation is over and it totally is! But, I still feel weird about arguing with you without any resolution so how about we fight it out with our fists? Don't let the fact that I'm a teenager stop you!!
(BTW I'm a teenager in case you didn't figure it out by the way I text.)
I can totally take you in a fight. :) Are you up for it??
[“F.R.I.D.A.Y. am I being challenged by a small child to a fight?” “It looks that way, boss. Have you tried being child friendly?” That's the conversation before Tony replies, confused as hell.]
Uh, sure? Time and place? I'm assuming we're showing up as is.
[And that's how in an hour Tony is present with a pot of tea. Look it's been over 72 hours since he's slept, who knows how he's standing at this point, but he's here and wearing a jumpsuit.]
Hi. Slothbaby?
Edited (How do I format jfc) 2018-04-03 23:29 (UTC)
[She's wearing a blue jumpsuit since she expecting a fight. No one wears their cute Captain America shirt to a fight. The fact that Tony is wearing his must mean he's serious!! But, the teapot is hard to explain and the brown eyes. Didn't Tony Stark have blue eyes?? Kamala looks confused, but is still weirdly upbeat for a kid challenging a grown man to a fight.]
That's me. You can call me Kamala since we're going to be fighting... after tea?
You agreed to fight someone without knowing why? [That's even more baffling, but okay. She has time for stories while she waits for him to get ready to fight.]
Okay so you wanted to blow up the prison because you don't like the mayor I guess???, I was like 'that's crazy and an awful idea and really we should make better decisions overall,' and you were like 'wow I'm going to do it anyways btw this conversation is over!!!' and then you didn't because I guess you worked stuff out with the mayor.
I want to fight so things won't be weird anymore. Like people suggested I talked to you about a thing, but I don't feel comfortable because we fought without facing each other so this time we'll face each other! Okay?
[More like she forgot about it until it was brought up again. Then she needed to do something about it as a proactive young lady who totally admires Iron Man so it sucked to argue with him. Better go fix it even if a month passed.
Anyways, Kamala is patiently waiting him out. It's slowly dawning on her she doesn't think he'll ever be up for this since seriously this guy looks like he hasn't slept in days when she gets his message. She looks to him, to the device, and back again. Is conflict resolution really that easy?????]
We're cool...? Definitely cool. You really don't hate me for telling you off?
Kid, if you never told people off I would be worried. Don't throw that back in my face the next time we disagree, by the way.
[He holds up his teapot.]
Tea? And you can tell me whatever it is you wanted to talk about. I'm assuming it's not to fix your toaster. At least I hope it's not about your toaster. Do you own a toaster?
[Okay yeah he's just going to pick a good spot on the floor to sit down and unstack a second cup from the cup he's holding.]
[Kamala nods, taking a seat next to him. This is by far one of the weirdest battles she's ever had. At least things are okay now??] I don't own a toaster. I'm trying to get a polymer made to help me with a medical condition. Super hard when you're living in a horror movie. Thanks to some awesome people I'll get the materials for like 75% of it eventually, but that leaves me stuck on the other 25%. Plus a place to safely make it. Plus a way to solve the problem with it dissolving in water.
[And just like that she is getting served tea. Tony passes over the filled cup. At the same time Kamala's post suddenly appears between them as an holographic image. Tony reaches out and starts flicking replies and text he doesn't deem useful out of the image and they spin off, disappearing.]
High school chemistry lab, is it. I'd like to meet this friend of yours. But write me a list. I probably have it. I also have a lab.
[His hand stills at the sight of Bucky's replies. He wasn't expecting it and the reminder Bucky's here hits him like a train. F.R.I.D.A.Y., get this out of my face. It's a subvoked command to her alone and the images all disappear.]
Between me and Shuri if we can't solve the water problem I'll surrender my diploma. Anything else?
[He says it like it's really that simple. Because for him it usually is.]

[Kamala watches with open fascination. The truth is she had no idea someone had this kind of technology here. She wants to ask him how he upgraded so fast. Sure she knows the stories of how he built his first suit from scraps, but this is something else. She sips her tea instead, wondering about his reaction to Bucky, but again not wanting to ask.
She types out the ingredients for the polymer with practiced ease. Bruno, as always, was smart to make her commit it to memory and thinking ahead in general. It makes her miss him more than usual.]
Sure! I don't think he'd mind if you promised to write him a letter of recommendation. Also I don't know if chemistry and nutrition is your thing, but I was talking to someone like me and they mentioned that we might need a supplement since we burn so much energy by being us. If we ever have a food shortage the two of us are kind of screwed. Can you make something like that?

Why what? You're the one convinced you need protection. List me some credible threats.

I really don't care.

You've put a lot of thought into this
[Sipping his tea... He's not exactly in an hurry to get beat up. But also that was like a month ago, has she been sitting on that this entire time?]
But uh, okay. Here it is: you were right, I was wrong. I'm not angry with you. I didn't even realize I was supposed to be? Are we cool?
