[center][size=10pt]Steve looks at Tony and can see the light in
his eyes as he explains the Tower, saying that he designed it
and going on from there to talk about it's clean energy. He has
to admit, it's quite impressive, and Tony seems like, well, a
genius, just like his father. He's the Howard of his time, and
Steve's taken away by his work even though all he has really
seen is Iron Man and the Tower. It's still very impressive, and
more than Steve could ever hope to do even if he has learned a
lot more about technology.
They enter the Tower, and there's lots of people and lots going
on. Steve looks around, only slightly starting to panic at all
the activity, hoping this wasn't how things were going to be the
whole time. Now not all is his heart starting to race, but his
mind as well. A woman comes up to them, and Steve stays close to
Tony, shoulders brushing as the woman speaks of red pandas and
Ms. Potts growing claws. Tony waves her away, saying that he'd
make a donation before they're walking again, Steve staring back
at her to see her eyes grow wide. Great... just great. He
shouldn't be here, he has a bad feeling about this place, but
then again, he's with Tony, and Tony promised him that he'd be
alright.
Tony asks him about elevators, asking if he's okay with them. He
informs him that there are stairs, but he's a bit too old to
climb them all, and Steve has to chuckle because, come on, he's
over ninety years old and Tony says he's old. He doesn't look a
day over thirty, perhaps.
"I'm fine with elevators," Steve replies, still smiling a bit
nervously due to the amount of... well, everything. [/center]

[center]Tony turns to smile at Steve as he says he's fine with
elevators, already hitting the up button. [b]"Good," he says, as
the doors slide open. He drags Steve inside, hits the button
for the top floor, and stands, bouncing on the balls on his
feet, while the elevator rockets up. "Limited access," he says a
little randomly. "Me, Pepper, the rest of the Avengers. You're
special. You're the second person that's ever been up here
without a card. Besides sweaty workmen, of course, but that's
another story." Tony has a feeling he's babbling.
The doors slide open to reveal an empty floor, though, Tony know
that Pepper's inside, probably listening for them. "We're gonna
go down to the lab, okay?" he murmurs, leading them quickly out
of the elevator. He has no doubt that JARVIS has probably
already alerted Pepper to whatever pictures on the internet
there are of Steve getting in a car with him, and she's not
likely to forget about the man who ripped his suit off not too
long ago. "I'll let you hang out in there while Pepper yells at
me, you don't wanna be a part of that, trust me."[/center]

[center][size=10pt]Steve lets himself be dragged into the
elevator by Tony, glad to have all the noises go away. He
doesn't like a lot of noise... it reminds him of things, but
Tony, Tony is good at distracting him, talking about limited
access and all that. Steve knows it's just babbling, but he
likes Tony's babbling, it seems to be part of his charm which
increases by the second every time they're alone. He only hopes
that Tony doesn't mind all the staring, because Steve has been
doing it a lot, memorizing every little crease and wrinkle on
Tony's face, his compact, but also quite bold muscles. He really
is the most beautiful thing Steve has ever seen in his life.
The doors of the elevator slide open, and Steve's trance is
broken, following inside his... living quarters, or whatever
they are. It's big, and more amazing than any place Steve has
ever slept, everything looking sleek and comfortable and, well,
expensive. Tony tells him that they are going to go down to his
lab so Steve can stay there while Pepper yells at him.
Steve simply frowns and nods, all suspicions confirmed that
Pepper is indeed his girlfriend just from that last sentence.
Then again, why would Steve have his suspicious? With Tony's
kindness, charm, beauty, and intelligence... how could he not be
taken? Steve just wishes it could be him in Pepper's probably
over-priced high heels shoes, but then again, he'd have to love
Tony to be there (he's not in love), and heels... no. Never in a
million years.[/center]

[center]Steve nods, and Tony grins at him, happy to have the man
go along so easily with his plan. He leads Steve through the
suite, one hand guiding him by the small of his back, and
finally gets to the lab. He types in the pass-code and the door
swings open, cutting the lights on, as well. [b]"I'm home, J!"
Tony calls, as the whir of servos and the beeping of machinery
lets him know that everything's booting up.
"Welcome home, sir. And welcome to your guest, as well."
"He's Steve. JARVIS, Steve. Steve, JARVIS." Tony waves, vaguely,
to the ceiling. From a few yards away, Dummy cautiously
approaches, his claw rotating curiously. "And that," Tony
points, with a frown, "Is a very terrible robot, whom I told not
to leave his charging station unless I called him over. Go on,
shoo." Dummy just freezes, instead, staring at them. Tony
groans. "Okay, fine. JARVIS, can you lock the lab down? No
entrance for anyone but me. I don't want Pepper coming in here
and shoving Steve out."
"You would be referring to Steve Rogers, the infamous psychotic
killer who has made headlines three times? I don't see why Ms.
Potts would want to be rid of him at all."
"Hey, be nice. He's a good guy. Just give him a chance, okay?
And don't let Dummy touch him. I'll be right back, Steve." Tony
can already see Pepper coming around the corner, so, without
further ado, Tony gives a little wave and slips outside, going
to greet her with a cheesy smile.[/center]

[center][size=10pt]Steve stares in awe as they enter the lab,
machinery and things Steve had never tinkered with or seen
before everywhere, coming to life as Tony... tells "J" that he's
home. It's incredible the equipment and such Tony has, not to
mention the tech, holograms and everything popping up. Steve
could do so much with it all... if he could just figure out how
to use most of it.
Suddenly, a British, male voice is heard, echoing through the
lab as clear as day, welcoming Tony and himself. Steve looks
around, wondering where the hell the voice even came from before
Tony introduces him to whatever it was, motioning towards the
ceiling. An artificial intelligence sort of thing... maybe? Ever
since Steve lightly educated himself in technology, he has
always wanted something like an AI computer thing. He's just not
smart enough to build one.
Suddenly, a large, robotic claw thing approaches, it's claw
rotating. Steve stares at it, a little cautious and a little
curious. Tony calls it terrible, telling it to shoo but it
disobeys, staying where he's at as Steve watches him, amazed.
Tony tells... JARVIS to lock the lab to everyone except him,
telling the AI that he doesn't want Pepper shoving him out. Then
JARVIS actually uses a form of sarcasm, calling Steve an
infamous psychotic killer in the process before Tony sticks up
for him, telling JARVIS not to let Dummy touch him. Steve
guesses that Dummy is... the claw, and Tony announces that he'll
be right back before leaving.
"I'm not psychotic," Steve says right away, talking to JARVIS
but still looking at Dummy, "but it's still nice to meet you,
JARVIS." And Steve's really only being polite, because even
though it's just an AI he's talking to, it does seem to have
opinions and human-like qualities. Besides, if it's a creation
of Tony's, Steve might as well try to like it and respect it. As
for Dummy, though, Steve's not really sure what to think of it.
In a way, it's kind of intimidating to him.
Slowly, Steve reaches out and touches the machine, poking it
right on one of it's claws, feeling it's cold metal.[/center]

[center][b]"Did you know," says Pepper, as soon as Tony is in
earshot, "That someday, I have a hope, that you will not do
something completely ridiculous, completely dangerous,
completely unreasonable--"
"--Pep, Pepper, it's not, look, it's fine--"
"--Oh, it's fine? Well, I guess if Tony Stark says so it must
be--"
""--you're being mean, why are being mean, this isn't a big
deal--"
"--bringing a murderer into the house--
"--you don't even know the whole story, why are you judging--"
"--without any discretion, by the way, the press is loving
this--"
"Pepper!" Tony says firmly, looking a little horrified at his
own volume. Bad. Okay, he's not yelling. He just needs to
explain. "I'm sorry. Look, I'm sorry, I am, but I told you what
happened before. He was protecting me, he was helping me. He's
not a bad guy."
"Tony, he's insane, anybody can see that, he has a fixation on
you."
"The first time he saw me he thought I was my dad. Yeah, he's
bound to be a interested, he's, he--" called me perfect, he
doesn't say.
"Tony, you can't bring him into the Tower. You can't bring him
anywhere, he's not stable. If he wanted to, he could kill as
many as Loki did, in less time!"
"That's the point, okay, if he wanted to. Does that look like
the kind of guy who wants to kill somebody?" Tony points through
the glass, where Steve is poking Dummy, and Dummy's poking back,
an ever-going system. Steve has a look of curiosity and childish
wonder on his face. "Tell me if that looks like a murderer to
you."
"It doesn't matter what he looks like, Tony" Pepper whispers.
"He kills people in a heartbeat, Tony. I seen the pictures, I've
heard the stories."
"Pep, he doesn't want to-- he's scared. He's as scared as I've
ever seen anybody, and I'm the first one he's been able to talk
to without freaking out. I can help him, Pepper. I'm the only
one he would accept help from, and I'm not about to let that go
to waste."[/center]

[center][size=10pt]As soon as Steve lowers his hand from poking
Dummy, Dummy's claw whirls around before reaching out. Steve
stares at the claw, wondering if he should run or stay. In the
end, he decides to stay, and Dummy simply touches his noise. He
smiles, eyes filled with wonder and he cautiously touches Dummy
again, Dummy returning the favor soon afterward. This goes on
for awhile while before Dummy suddenly stops Steve from touching
him, grabbing his finger between his claw.
Steve frowns and stares at the machine, wondering what he should
do or what the robot plans to do with his finger. He looks up at
the ceiling, waiting to see if JARVIS has anything to say about
it, but there's nothing but silence, and Steve is starting to
panic slightly.
"Tony..." Steve calls, a little quietly at first, not wanting to
take his eyes off the suspicious claw machine with his finger in
grasp. "Tony!" he calls again, louder this time, heart starting
to race a bit again, not knowing what to do.[/center]

[center]Pepper looks like she's halfway to convinced, still
trying to form an argument in her head, but it's at that moment
that JARVIS pipes up, saying, [b]"Sir, I believe Mr. Rogers is
calling for you," and Tony turns to look in the lab again, to
see Steve's mouth form the shape of his name again. Dummy's got
a hold on his finger, not letting go, and he looks a little
panicked.
Tony curses, grabs Pepper by her shoulder and kisses her cheek
briefly. "Please, Pep," he begs, "Just for the night, I swear."
He doesn't get to hear her answer before he's heading toward the
lab door, flinging it opening. "Dummy, off, now," he says
sternly. The robotic arm gently lets go of Steve's finger and
turns curiously toward Tony, claw twisting this way and that.
"No, don't give me that. You are a bad bot. Very bad bot." Dummy
gives a shameful whir, looking down. "Sorry," Tony says to Steve
curtly. "You alright?"[/center]

[center][size=10pt]Steve hears the door to the lab slide open,
and Steve is immediately relieved, knowing Tony will help him.
Tony tells Dummy to let go, and the robot obeys, turning towards
Tony and twisting his claw. He's sure the machine wasn't trying
to hurt him... but Steve really didn't have any idea what he did
have in mind, not that he really has a mind. Tony calls Dummy a
bad robot, scolding him like he were a dog before apologizing to
Steve, asking if he's alright. He's pretty sure this is the
first time in over seventy years that someone has asked if he is
alright.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just... didn't know... what to do," he admits,
slowly reaching out to pat Dummy on the top of his claw before
quickly drawing his hand away, afraid that Dummy might grab him
again. "Can I stay here?" he asks, looking at Tony, wondering
how the conversation went with Pepper. "I mean, I don't want to
be any trouble. I can cook and clean, if you'd like. I can do
just about anything you want," he offers a little sheepishly,
not wanting to be kicked back out on the streets because here he
can spend more time around Tony.[/center]

[center]Tony smiles a little as Steve says he's fine, just, that
he didn't know what to do. He is like a child, kind of. He asks
Tony if he can stay, then, offering to clean and cook, that he
could do anything Tony wants. Tony looks him up and down.
Perhaps not... everything, but, hey, that's neither here nor
there. He smiles, gentle and easy, and pats Steve on the
shoulder, laughing lightly.
[b]"You're okay, Steve," he says. Just to be safe, he glances
out of the lab to see Pepper's already gone. That's as close to
her acceptance as he's going to get. "You don't have to cook,
and, cleaning makes me nauseous, but you can stay. And, listen,
I'm sorry JARVIS called you a killer. That was rude."
"I apologize, Mr. Rogers, but as it is my priority to protect
Sir I had my doubts of his safety around you. Dummy seems to
like you, however, and he is very apt when it comes to
people."[/center]
