Since you like the Iron Man press conference, let's start there.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Everyone knows what happens. "I am Iron Man" yadda yadda.

So what happens after the cameras stop rolling? What deep intrigue follows our byronic hero now that he's boldly laid his identity bare for the world to see?

Re: Bedtime Story

Rock Star Central.

Or Rock Stark Central if you prefer. I'll throw in a lame pun just because you're sick.

Your old man's flying as high as he ever has with a world that doesn't know what box to shove superheroes in that don't already work for the government.

Re: Bedtime Story

And everything was fun and cool for like two years and then the military tried to get involved. The end.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Sorry if you were expecting a story with deep pathos or something. I don't have the stomach for it at the moment and neither do you, most likely.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

I will speak for the one constant plague of those two years, though. I think it's about time we had a talk about what every superhero should ready themselves for.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Airsickness.

Re: Bedtime Story

You know what kind superhero thinks they're too good to pack ginger ale and advil for the road? A chump, that's who.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

The first time I got airdropped, I spent most of the flight puking up a lung.

Ask Pep for a little reassurance. She reassures me that I look the same as always: hung over.

Then she tries to pop me Motrin and at that point I'm not having it.

Word to the wise, Pete. Don't brush off pain killers offered in good faith just because they're marketed for menstrual cramps.

There are less miserable ways to lose brownie points with your woman.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

But if you're gonna purge, suit up. Your nano suit has a dry cleaning protocol. Nasty bio fluid cleanup's a thing of the past.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Not that you have that yet.

Just for future reference.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Anyway.

What I'm asking is do you need ginger ale? Advil?

I've got a delivery bot.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

Thank you for the story.

Can a delivery dad bring me some soup?

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

I hear the chef makes a mean chicken noodle.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

Please no chicken.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Noodle.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

Just no chicken or chicken broth.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

We'll spring for miso.

Also Thor's got this jerky stash in his drawers. Venison, I think. Smuggle you some.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

You think he won't mind?

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

It's an entire deer's worth of jerky and I've been welcome to it. A few pieces out of my share won't be missed.

Also he tried to roast slabs of it in the sun before I recommended a dehydrator. I don't know what it is with that man and his fresh kills.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

Did you ever go hunting when you were younger?

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Sure didn't. Not planning to break the streak.

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkintern]

Not really a lot of opportunity to hunt in NYC

Re: Bedtime Story

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

Sure isn't.

Coming with that soup, Pete. Hang tight.
