Seeking a Stark Solution
Steve was just a little worried. He hadn't heard from Anya in a couple days, either by phone or e-mail. He knew she sometimes ignored both, but...

Something in his gut, what his dad jokingly called "Hawkeye senses", though, was nagging at him. And since the last time anything with Anya had happened it had nearly sent Toni into a panic, calling her was out.

So he was going to have to either talk to Anya's dad (scary) or her mom (more scary).

He picked up the phone and dialed the Stark's number.

	James was the only family member in residence and was to answer the phone. "Hullo," he said as he focused on shooting the enemy forces. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ah ha! The little brother! Easier! "Hey, James," he said. "It's Steve. Got a stupid question for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey Steve. What's up?" If he asked what he should get James' sister, he'd thwap Steve the next time he saw him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. I think Tony's up in Boston with her now." Right? Mom mentioned something about Tony going up there. James assumed it was to see Anya and tell her about the baby. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He frowned. "Huh. See... thing is, I haven't either. And she's not answering her phone. Or e-mail." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mebbe she got lost in the lab again," James said as he put his game on pause. "Or mebbe she's in shock over the news." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"News?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My mom's pregnant. Tony went up there to tell Anya and maybe she didn't take it well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 12:52 am UTC (link)
	....Well. That was interesting. "Maybe," he said after a moment. "I dunno. Something just seems... wrong. I can feel it in my gut." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"Hrm. I could try Tony's cell I guess." A pause. "Or give you the number." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that'd work," he replied. "I'll talk to him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"Alright. I'll text you the number. Anything else?" There were enemy soldiers to kill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah, I think I'll be good with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let me know what Tony says," James said. "Now you've got me worried about them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Will do, dude," he said. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"Oh hey. Question for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm? Shoot, little dude." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Uh," James scratched his head. "What are you doing for Anya for Valentine's? I gotta do something for Valeria and I am completely clueless. Any suggestions?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 02:10 am UTC (link)
	It was almost... Oh, wait, he was actually prepared for this one. "Dinner reservations at a restaurant Charlie recommended to me, dancing after, then back to a hotel room for a further magical evening," he said. "...the last part of which is definitely not right for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. Okay. I'll keep it in mind. And dude, I didn't need to know that you're planning to violate my sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, I wouldn't call it that," Steve protested. "Just... forgot who I was talking to, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, it's really none of my business. You make Anya happy and that's all that matters. What you two do in private is between you two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Anyway, thanks for the number, dude. And good luck with Val." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-02-06 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome. Thanks for the ideas." James disconnected the call and went back to shooting enemy soldiers. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 02:31 am UTC (link)
	And now, armed with a new number, Steve put in a call to Mr. Stark. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	stark_inc 2010-02-06 04:00 am UTC (link)
	The phone goes right to voice mail - which is uncharacteristic in and of itself. After he hangs up though, he has voice mail. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-02-06 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Steve stared at the phone after listening to the message. "That... that's not good," he said to himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)
