“Nope, stop right there. Before you say anything— this is just as confusing for me as it is for you. Scratch that— this is way more confusing for me. So just- don’t say anything stupid, alright?”

[xironxmanx]

“Yeah, great— ‘welcome back to the land of the living, let’s make it even weirder by making you your daughter.’ I feel great, thanks for asking.”

Hey, J, give me an IR scan of the room, real quick. - The wall to your left.

“My brother may have created a team to figure out my murder, but it looks I chose the right time to kick the can. I’m glad to see death is still so messy.”

[xironxmanx]

“It’s not simple anymore, ain’t that frustrating? People can’t die and just stay that way anymore.”

[scarletwitchiing]

“I’m sorry – can you repeat that?”

[xironxmanx]

“It’s nice to have you back, kid. It just feels pretty weird saying that so soon after everyone was saying it to me.” 

[a-merica]

“So you wrecked the President and got a bunch of memory swiped mutants in return. I’d say, not a bad trade off.” 

[xironxmanx]

“Not exactly what I would have liked to get into right after being brought back from the dead, but it was relatively satisfying. I’ll give you that.”

“Oh, wow. You’re here. I mean, of course you’re here. They said you would be. You and Agent Romanoff, that is. Hi.” She bounced slightly. “Coffee! Dopamine. I love it and you got it.” Nadia had to strain on her toes slightly to reach a mug. “I’m Nadia Van Dyne. Well, Pym. Hank Pym is my father but Janet adopted me. I’m talking too much, aren’t I? Sorry.”

Her rambling made him smile-- genuinely, too. And not one of the forced smiles he had been practicing lately. “Don’t stress yourself, kid. Nadia, is it? You remind me of someone else.” Peter. Tony still hadn’t talked to him yet. “Believe it or not, I used to be young and smart and talk too much. Don’t let the world get to you like I let it get to me-- there’s your piece of unsolicited advice for the day.”

“I was actually waiting for a thank you here. It’s not like I resurrected you or anything.” At his request, the blonde sighed before pointing at the table in front of Stark. Coffee, she commanded. “There. Happy? See, I’m just here to make your life better.”

“You know, I’ve been trying this ‘new me’ thing where I try and ‘do better’ and not get on people’s nerves but right now I’m not in the mood. There’s no way in hell you’ll ever get anything resembling a thank you from me.” He blatantly ignored the coffee she had set down in front of him. “And if you ever even get near me with that Stone of yours, you’ll regret it.”

“I’m going to warn you right now that it’s not very good coffee.” Sam was trying to keep his tone light even though there was the double oddity of the fact that Tony had recently been dead and before that they hadn’t been on best terms. “–But here you go,” he offered him a cup. “How’re you holding up so far?”

“I think it’s a rule that previously-dead people don’t get to be beggars and choosers when it comes to coffee.” Tony took the cup being offered. He was trying his best to be.. good. Being brought back was a lot for him but it was also a lot for everyone else. “Not that there’s much to compare to, but fine I think. I think Nat is handling it better than I am, though. And you’ve got the shield now, huh? Steve seems to like leaving it wherever he feels like-- glad it was you that picked it up this time.”

xanndra​:

“—I do not wish to be rude, but I do not know how to make coffee.” Xandra was pretty sure she had never drank it either. A strange sense of sorrow was filling the air, a telepathic scent she had not yet learned to turn off. “You are sad.” It was a statement. The feathers around her face ruffled as she moved to sit across from him. “This is because you died. Anthony Stark?”  The Empresses head tilted to the side.

Tony gently waved off her apology, preparing to get up from his seat and get a cup for himself. But her next words caught him off guard. He glanced to her as she sat down, blinking a few times before his brain caught up and he was able to answer. “Been a while since anyone’s called me that.” In fact, the only people that had ever used his full first name were his parents. And it was usually when he was about to get scolded for something. “It’s because I died, yeah. Well, I guess it’s because I got brought back after that. Otherwise I’d be feeling a whole lot of nothing right now.” There was a pause, and then he cleared his throat. “You see many resurrections back home?”

“I know it’s not exactly something you want to hear right now, but it’s good to have you back, sir. A lot of people have hope now because of you. Hope for what? Hell if I know, but it’s nice to not have everyone in constant doomsday mode anymore,” Alex leaned against the doorway, a understandable distance away from Tony. If anybody shouldn’t be talking to the recently resurrected Iron Man, it was him. But good judgement was never one of Alex’s strong suits.

“And coffee – got it.”

At first Tony stayed silent, a bit thrown off by the other man’s words. Usually he would have been jumping at the chance to claim something that was such an ego-boost. But he was tired, and it was easy to give in to the side of him that believed he didn’t deserve that. “That’s nice of you, kid. But seriously, knock it off with the ‘sir’.” His tone was light. “I was hoping that there would be less of a mess after I left, but it seems that my wish didn’t come true. I’m not sure what good I am now.”

whitewidcw​:

“No, no. I’m going to stop you. I don’t care, and I’m not getting you coffee. I was looking for my sister.” And instead she had found the other resurrected. Yelena didn’t actively have any negative feelings against Stark other than the fact that people seemed to give his death more attention than Natalia’s, but that was rather moot now. “We haven’t met. You’re the other one who died.”

“I’m not quite up to speed with everything just yet, but I’m guessing you must be Yelena.” Tony shifted in his chair, turning sideways and draping his arm over the back of it. “Turns out she did have family, huh? We always wondered about that.”

“Guess dying for them wasn’t enough then.” Natasha wasn’t bitter. Not really. She had made a choice but now had unexpected side effects. “Bruce.” His name was a sigh. “I’m glad he’s okay.  He just hit a rhythm with his new form. Guy deserves a break.” He had spent two years locked inside of the Hulk because of her. Nat would always carry a sliver of guilt. Her nails drummed against the table, shoulders leaned back to slouch in her chair. “We did it. Funny, isn’t it? We did it. I’m happy. Don’t get me wrong, I am. It’s just overwhelming.” 

“Yeah, overwhelming. That’s one way to put it.” He replied with a scoff as he clamped his hands together, trying to get them to stop shaking. “Doesn’t it feel like we just.. don’t fit in anymore? I’m not quite sure what to do with myself, and that’s when I--” That’s when he spiraled.

Stephen’s expression didn’t falter. While he had some guilt about not telling Tony how they’d win he’d do it again in a heart beat. “I’ll choose to take that as a compliment. And as for your next death, let’s aim for something a bit more, mundane, shall we?” He said attempting a joke, though the amount of time he spent in the sanctum only communicating with magical beings for days on end have curbed his sense of normal conversation.

Tony let out a huff of laughter. “Yeah, yeah. I can get behind that.” Finally he took his coffee in hand and took a sip. “Sounds like the last year has been pretty mundane.” His sarcasm was apparent. “How have you been handling it all without us?”

“Things have gotten far stranger with me. Pun not intended but welcomed. He said as he levitated his mug back down to the table. He was waiting for this part. The questioning of realities or why he didn’t tell him of his death. “Time was a factor. I was searching for an outcome with lower net-cost than the one we had to no time to search for the what would happen more than a year down the line in each potential timeline…” He said trailing off. “As cold as it sounds, I couldn’t have you be made nervous or hesitate. Any alteration to that timeline and the outcome becomes uncertain.”

Tony’s gaze fixated on the coffee in his mug-- something about the steam rising from it made it easier to focus. The corner of his lip twisted, an almost smile that he didn’t quite have the energy for. “I get it.” That was the truth. “We all played our part. I had reasons to stick around but that would have been real shitty for everyone else.” Tony looked up, managing the sad smile he couldn’t muster a few moment ago. “It was a bold move, I’ll give you that. And it worked. Besides, dying a dramatic death had always been on my list-- I like the attention.”
