((Hi there followers! If you also follow ask-banner and ask-starkinthetowerwithasuit, or anything going on with Timmy, you've probably already seen that the mod for ask-banner has deleted her account as of tonight. This is sad for us because we're friends with the mod and loved her blog, but it's a personal thing, and she did what she needed to do. This means that the Bruce character over in their 'verse has actually died. Our boys are going to be very sad and shocked by this, but unfortunately due to the timing and us already having planned some things on the blog (including naked Tony day tomorrow), we're not letting the boys find out about this news until Thursday. Just imagine that there's a one day delay between dimensions? Yeah, we'll go with that for now!
So yes, we wanted you to know that we're aware of the situation and saddened by it, but don't think we're totally ignoring it. Things are happening normally for now here, and we'll deal with that in a day.
Very sad to lose ask-banner. I really enjoyed the blog, and I really love the mod. We'll miss you a lot! And my heart goes out to ask-starkinthetowerwithasuit and mod. You know I love your Tony, and we'll be in contact with you soon. <3 <3 <3 to everyone over there!))

Tony plucked a tearful Tibby out of his co-sleeper bassinet and cradled the tiny boy close in his arms, shushing him when it was plain that the baby only craved the warmth and attention of his 'mother.' What Peter had told Bruce and that he had then passed on to Tony when they were all in Italy what seemed such a short time ago, was finally sinking in. Knowing that their eldest son didn't see them as his parents was more of a hurt and a shock than Tony could wrap his head around. Since then, he'd avoided Peter as much as possible, wanting desperately to talk to him, to sort this all out, but having neither the courage nor the fortitude to do so. Instead, he clung to the innocent adoration in his Tiberius' bright, blue-green eyes, silently wishing he could make everything that much better, trying to remember a time when Peter might have looked at him in a similar way.
There was nothing more terrible and more terrifying in his mind than becoming like the male role models he'd grown up. Tony may have shared some of his father's physical traits, but he strove with all his heart to be nothing like the man, especially when it came to his own children. The engineer told them all that he loved them, as often as he could manage, and he meant it. He cared deeply about everyone in his family, blood-related or not.
Trying to clear his fogged head, Tony sat down on the edge of the bed with his tiny son and rocked him lightly, kissing his forehead and singing a soft Italian lullaby.
The inventor barely noticed that he'd left the bedroom door open, so it was a surprise when Rosie peeked in and spoke up. Tony glanced toward the door and nodded his head for his adopted daughter to have a seat with him.
I have so many headcanons about you and your characters it's not even funny. Like Tony really doesn't like tea but he'll drink ginger tea to calm his jangled nerves or when he's not feeling well. He hates sleeping alone so on days or weeks when he has to be away he'll go as long as he can before collapsing in exhaustion. It got better when Bruce came along and they sort of helped quell each other's nightmares. Now when they're apart they will usually video chat till the other one falls asleep.
"Yep, for sure. You hit the nail on the head, angelface."
"Hang on. You have headcanons about Dannie? This I gotta see."
((An RP between five different blogs telling the story of six different characters. Sorry if this is confusing! Our Tony and Bruce are just Tony and Bruce, and Tony Dad is ask-starkinthetowerwithasuit and Papa Bruce is ask-banner.))
Tony: *sits down on the couch and starts to read through the day's asks* Hey look here, this is from the Tony and Bruce I met from another dimension.
Bruce: *sits down and begins to read the screen* "Hey guys, I've been reading what's going on and it seems T2 have already made fast friends and, well Tony wants to know if Timmy would be willing to meet us and see if we might be able to offer him a permanent home? Let me know what you think." *looks over at Tony* You think that'd work?
Tony: *shrugs* Why not? He really wants to stay with us. Here's a Bruce and Tony that want to adopt him.
Bruce: Another dimension though?
Tony: *smirks* You say to someone who shot a missile at an army over aliens via a hole in the sky over New York?
Bruce: Okay, point taken. Well, I would feel a little better knowing his dad couldn’t get to him there, I guess. How do we…
Tony: Here, let's try to get them on the video screen. *begins typing the code he's learned to connect with them* Hello? Are we getting the right dimension? Or the right guys? *squints and watches the screen*
Papa Bruce: *pokes Tony and points to the video screen* Hey...babe, you available?
Tony Dad: *nods* Yep. What's up? *sits down next to Bruce and looks at the loading screen*
Tony: Hey guys! Just got your message about Timmy. We both think that would be a great idea, if we could work it out.
Papa Bruce: Definitely! Tibby won't stop talking about his new friend and keeps asking when he can play video games with him. How is Timmy doing?
Bruce: He's doing very well, all things considered. Would you... *looks at Tony then back at the screen* Would you like to meet him?
Papa Bruce: Absolutely, Tony what do you say?
Tony Dad: I'd love it. *grins* Let's do this. *exchanges an excited glance with Bruce*
Tony: I'll go grab him. *gets up and walks out of the room*
Bruce: I really hope this can work out. I've been very anxious to find him a good home, but I know I'll worry about him no matter where he goes. At least with you guys, I'll know he's being taken care of and loved.
Tony Dad: Yep, and you can both visit us whenever you want, if this works out.
Bruce: I'd like that... might be a little weird, but, well, what isn't about us these days?
Papa Bruce: *whispers* Is it too much to hope that it does work out?
Tony Dad: *whispers back* No, babe. I don't think so. I hope it works out, too.
Tony: *returns to the room with Timmy* Here, Timmy. There's two people who wanna meet you.
Papa Bruce: *waves excitedly* Hi Timmy! We've heard a lot about you!
Timmy: *enters the frame with Tony and crawls onto Bruce's lap; he looks at the screen, then frowns and looks up at Tony and Bruce, back to the screen, then to Tony and Bruce, screen, Tony, screen, Bruce, screen- he puts his hands on his head and pouts a little.* Ow.
Tony Dad: Hi, Timmy! Yeah, it's a little confusing, huh? Alternate dimension. You get used to it after a while. *grins a little and shrugs*
Timmy: You’re Tibby's daddys?
Papa Bruce: Yeah, I'm Bruce and this is Tony. Tiberius is our little man. He'd say hello, but he's out with aunty Pepper right now.
Tony Dad: Yep. *nods* We've heard a lot about you, Timmy. It's pretty cool to finally meet you.
Tony: Okay, so you actually know a lot more than I thought you would. So, Timmy, you get that these guys are like us but in another world?
Timmy: Like the 11-dimensional M-theory?
Bruce: *laughs*
Tony: Forgot I'm not dealing with an average kid here...
Papa Bruce: *laughs*
Tony Dad: My string theory's a little rusty, but yeah. Basically. *looks at Bruce for confirmation*
Papa Bruce: Basically Timmy *nods at Tony*
Tony Dad: *grins*
Bruce: Timmy... *puts his hand on Timmy's shoulder* this Bruce and Tony just asked if you'd want to go and live with them. You know we'd love to keep you, but we just can't give you to care and love you need right now. We want you to be with someone who knows how to take care of you, and who's ready to have a child. And these two are basically us, so instead of going with a complete stranger, well, in this case everything would almost be staying like it is. Plus you'd get a few brothers and sisters, which I know you'd like. What do you think?
Tony: You can go stay with them for a few days first and make sure you like it there. But I bet this is gonna be awesome for you. And you can talk to us all the time. And we can come visit there, or you can come here still. How 'bout it? Wanna give it a try?
Papa Bruce *stares at the screen, trying to judge Timmy's reaction to the news*
Timmy: *looks down at his hands in thought for a little while, clearly thinking* Oh, um ok. *nods* That sounds good.
Papa Bruce: Tibby will be really excited to meet you. He's already been talking about his new big brother, like he's made the decision for us.
Tony Dad: *beams* Awesome. Yeah, I think you're gonna like it over here. We're all excited to meet you in person, Timmy.
Timmy: I really like Tibby. I can't wait to meet him in person. I wanna show him the bike powered cell phone charger I made.
Tony Dad: Seriously? *impressed* I'd like to see it, too, kiddo. *still grinning*
Papa Bruce: Wow! He'd love that and to show you the Sears tower he made with Legos
Tony: We all think you're gonna have a lot of fun over there. *crouches down on the floor to face Timmy* You're not sad about this are you? You know if we were at the right time in our lives to have kids, we'd keep you without thinking twice, right?
Timmy: *nods* Uh-huh.
Tony: *frowns* I'm sorry, Timmy. I don't want you to feel like we're abandoning you.
Papa Bruce: Timmy, we want you to feel loved and welcomed. You know that this is just a trial right?
Timmy: *nods* You're being silly.
Tony: *looks relieved* Okay, I was just worried there, buddy. *pulls Timmy into a quick hug*
Bruce: We want you to get the most love you can get, and we know you will with this Tony and Bruce.
Tony Dad: *gives other-Bruce a little, relieved and grateful grin* Thanks. We're gonna do our best to give him the great home he deserves, and you guys are welcome to visit him, too.
Papa Bruce: Yep, any time you want to come over, just let us know. Like I said, I'm pretty sure Tibby told JARVIS to designate a room for you and he's been sleeping in a tent on the floor of said room until his brother comes home...he's a little excited.
Tony Dad: Yep. He won't stop talking about you. Rosie and the twins are pretty excited, too, but I have a feeling Tibby's going to monopolize you for a while, Timmy. *laughs*
Bruce: It'll be fun to have a brother, huh?
Papa Bruce: Fact I'm pretty sure that's why he was out with Pepper...oh hey, speak of the devil!
Tibby: IS HE ON????? *clambers over Bruce's lap to look into the camera* HI!!!!!
Timmy: *watches the screen*
Tibby: Are you Timmy?!?!?
Tony Dad: Hey, Cappiccino! *grins and reaches over to ruffle Tibby's hair* Yep! This is Timmy. He's gonna be visiting soon.
Tibby: How soon?
Timmy: Are you Tibby?! *leans in closer to the screen*
Tibby: Yep I'm Tiberius and um look what Aunty Pepper bought you today!!!!! *holds up stars and moon bedsheets*
Tony Dad: That depends. *looks to the other Tony and Bruce and to Timmy* Timmy, when do you feel like you wanna come over?
Timmy: Timmy: Really?! Those are cool! But I got sheets already, why don't you use them? *looks over his shoulder at his Tony and Bruce and thinks for a moment.* Is tonight too soon?
Bruce: *looks at Tony then over to the screen* Umm, well, I guess not. Do you guys have the tech to... what am I saying, you're Tony, of course you do.
Tibby: Well you tan bring them too! Daddy, Papa, tan he tome tonight please?
Papa Bruce: *laughs and looks at Tony* We have the room set up, and pizza's been ordered. Wanna fire up the portal?
Timmy: It's ok of it's too soon, I can wait! *looks worried*
Tony: No, buddy, it's not too soon. But you're just going for a couple days, okay?
Tony Dad: Sure. *grins*
Bruce: Yeah, you'll come back here for a bit so we can get this all figured out before you move forever.
Papa Bruce: Hey, I'm gonna pick up the laptop so you can see how this works kiddo. *moves the computer to follow Tony to the machine that is glowing blue*
Tony Dad: *heads over to the portal and kneels beside it* Okay, if you guys are ready, I'll start her up.
Tony: Do you need to grab anything, Timmy?
Tibby: You wanna watch this...it dets real dood!!!!!
Timmy: *nods* Just a sec! *runs off and returns five minutes later with his old ratty backpack, stuffed with clothes and his stuffed robot under his arm.* Okay! Ready!
Tony: I told you to stop using that old backpack, buddy. You must really like it, huh?
Timmy: *nods and clings to it* uh-huh! *Looks around* What's gonna happen? How do I get there?
Tibby: *practically wriggles with excitement in Bruce's arms, holding the laptop so that the camera faces outwards.* Hit it dad!
Tony Dad: Okay. Cappiccino! *waits a moment, then nods at Bruce and at the screen. Works open the right panel, punches in a long code, turns a switch and the portal bursts into life, glowing bright blue* Head downstairs and check your lab. There should be a wormhole opening right where this is, if I've got the dial set right.
Tony: *picks up Timmy and gives Bruce a smile as they all head down to the lab* Wow, look at that. *sets Timmy down as he and Bruce begin to analyze the portal, walking close to it*
Tibby: *wiggles to have Bruce let him down and hands the laptop to him before stepping through the portal to the other side.* HI!
Timmy: *jumps and drops his backpack, then greets Tibby with an eager hug*
Tibby: *returns the hug with a huge grin on his face* I'm so happy to meet you finally!
Timmy: I'm really glad to meet you too! This is really cool! *bounces*
Bruce: *takes a step back and stares a bit wide-eyed at the visitor* Hi there, Tibby. *looks at Tony* I guess I shouldn't be shocked by anything these days...
Tibby: *Looks up at the other Bruce and Tony* Wow, you really do look like Daddy and Papa. Thant you for having me tome and pit up Timmy! Um...Daddy? Should I hug them now?
Tony Dad: *nods at Tibby* Go for it, baby.
Tibby: *tentatively hugs Tony and then Bruce*
Timmy: I have school tomorrow, so should I come home then?
Tony: *hugs Tibby back* Nice to meet you! Timmy, no worries, we'll get someone to take care of that.
Tony Dad: Yep. No problem there.
Bruce: *hugs Tibby* Yeah, stay as long as you need to, but you'll have to come back here so we can work a few things out before you go for good.
Tibby: Are you ready to do? Tan I help you with your batpat or anything?"
Timmy: *gives Bruce and Tony lingering tight hugs before letting go and going to stand by Tibby.* Okie dokie. I'll see you later! *turns to Tibby* That's ok, I got it! *puts his backpack on* Thanks though!
Bruce: *watches apprehensively at what's happening in front of him*
Tony: *steps closer to Bruce and takes his hand, giving him a reassuring smile*
Tibby: *beams brightly and takes Timmy's hand, waving at Tony and Bruce before stepping back through the blue ring of light into the mirrored lab* Hi Daddy, hi Papa, we're home!
Timmy: *waves once more to Tony and Bruce before entering the portal with Tibby, then smiles at Tibbys dads.* "Hi, thank you for having me over!"
Papa Bruce: *smiles brightly and kneels down to Timmy's eye level* Thank you for agreeing to come and live with us for a few days. I really hope you're going to enjoy it here.
Timmy: Thanks! I know it'll be great! I hope I don't bother you guys too much.
Tony Dad: *gets down next to Bruce and Timmy* No problem, kiddo. Thanks for coming to visit. I think you're gonna like it, too.
Papa Bruce: With as many kids as we have in the tower, not a chance! Not only that but aunty Pepper loves hanging out with the little ones.
Tony Dad: I'm more worried we're going to be the ones bothering you too much. *laughs* I'm a sucker for kids, but you didn't hear it from me.
Timmy: But you just said it. So I did hear it from you.
Tony Dad: *laughs at Timmy*
Papa Bruce: *nods at the other Tony and Bruce through the computer as the portal shuts down, turning the camera to face Timmy, Tibby, and Tony* I feel like I'm in the movies...T3
Tony: *sits back down with Bruce on the couch* Glad everyone made it okay! You guys take care, and let us know how you’re doing, okay?
Papa Bruce: We will! *waves at Tony and Bruce*
Timmy: Bye bye! I’ll call you on the video phone tomorrow! *waves*
Bruce: Okay, Timmy. Have fun! *waves back as the connection closes* Wow… that was… quick.
Tony: Yeah, it was. You okay?
Bruce: Yeah. Well, I will be. I just need to process all of this.
Tony: *puts his arm around Bruce* Yeah. Well, let’s just sit here and talk for a while, okay?
Bruce: That sounds great. *leans against Tony, still thinking of Timmy*
Tony woke up to a very small, very cute little boy in a very big Van Halen tee-shirt curled up into his side. Thankful for the AC/DC pyjamas he was wearing, the engineer carefully lifted the three-year-old's brown bangs to see whose face was under them. The little one looked a great deal like Tiberius and even more like Bruce. Maybe he was Bruce and had been magicked into the form of an itty-bit, just as Tony had been before. The inventor lightly nudged the sleeping little one's shoulder. "Bruce?" He asked curiously.
Wow...uh hey guys, I just have to agree with all the positivity on here. As you know I'm one of your biggest fans and I've pretty much been following you since your blog started. I really appreciated the way you handled this whole situation and how you run the muses. Each muse is a little bit different takes the characters different ways and that's ok. I continue to look forward to interactiong with you both in the very near future!
((Thanks, lovely!!! Yeah, that's what I didn't get. So many people play the same characters and all so differently. Doesn't make them wrong. If the writers at Marvel decided Bruce and Tony were gonna suddenly get engaged and take in an orphan, then you'd have cause for a little bit of "whaaaaaaat???" posts. As it is, we're playing to our canon, and that's that. Thanks for the support! <3))
