[Tony woke up with his own problem - two eensy blue wings on each wrist, glowing just like his arc reactor. he's in the gym, trying to bind athletic tape over them before Pepper sees, but they keep fluttering and making things difficult.

he's unimpressed.

when the community blips on the screen embedded in the window, he just glances over, already completely unphased by this whole business]

Hey, paging Dr. Foster. If you hadn't noticed already, you got another one for your list.

Hey, lucky you. I just don't really want Pepper flipping her lid, so - hopefully I can get these suckers taped down before she sees 'em.

That doesn't sound particularly comfortable.

I dunno, they're kinda flimsy. I'm thinking after a few minutes I'll totally forget they're there.

[only not, because the taping down won't work so hot in practice once he gets around to it]

Yeah, good luck with that. The community isn't big on making things that are easy to forget.

Well, of course not, it let me in.

An excellent point.

See that, it's totally cool. This is science, Darcy, we see change and we roll with it. Human-tested, Darwin-approved.

Wouldn't "rolling with it" not include taping down strange new wings?

Normally, yes, but in some cases we have to let Pepper adjust before we roll with it, because she is not a scientist.

Most of the people here aren't scientists. You get used to the weird eventually.

But I see your point.
