A phone call over the city.
Misha's goal was to get acquainted with the new stealth armor as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Not that he lived in it, or slept in it (he wasn't four years old anymore with a brand new baseball mitt!), but he was racking up a good number of hours putting it through his workouts. He loved the better interface with his muscle memory; the more he used it, the more it seemed to anticipate rather than wait for him to lead. The seconds it shaved off his response time could bring a lot to a fight.

And sometimes, like today, he just wanted to get out and go flat out speed demon fast. He was making his third pass over the city, in a loop that included most of New England and a portion of Canada (oops, forgot the passport!) when his amazing new armor put through a phone call.

The display inside the face mask read Stark Inc, which told him it was coming from the same satellite Anya had sent his new phone on after the Red Room incident, and that opened up a few possibilities. Most likely Darlene or Anya, but it could be Mom. He was on extended Mom service until after she had the baby so he answered immediately. "Oil change, burgers, or going stir crazy?" he asked, slowing to a relative stealthy crawl near the Liberty statue.

"Sounds good. I'll speak to her as soon as I can, get those specs and get a look at the suit. Once I have my ideas in place, I'll let you know and you can yay or nay my presentation.

We get that done, and your old suit will be good as new as soon as I can make it happen." Justin says.

"You've got a '71 Demon? I love classic cars; used to help restore them when I was a kid, so I know where you're coming from. My girlfriend keeps saying she's going to buy one for me to help her with." Justin laughs.

"Thanks for meeting with me, Misha. Maybe we'll figure out soon why Mr. Stark set us up together." Justin says.

	"Dad and I started restoring her when I was thirteen. Anya put an AI in it last year and now Darlene thinks she's a cross between my girlfriend, my reception, and my nanny." "It could be as simple as Stark wanting some free entertainment if we didn't get along, or he's got something in mind. You have a place to stay in New York while you're here?"

"No, I don't. I've been staying at Avengers' Mansion while I looked for a job. I can't exactly bring my girlfriend around here without inviting some uncomfortable questions with answers I can't give out." Justin says.

"Well, if he's got something in mind, he could just tell us. Might be easier to get what he wants, or get us to do the opposite." Justin grins.

"My AI...is based on Tony. So he think he's my wingman, my old man, and the brains in our relationship." Justin laughs.

"Don't let yours meet mine or Anya will be far too entertained. Darlene thinks Anya can do no wrong. Anya gave her a tiara for a Christmas present."

"I have a place not too far from here. I'm out at Xavier's most of the time as it is. You're welcome to take up residence in one of the empty bedrooms. With the understanding that the family has come-and-go privileges, of course." He smiled. "And fair warning if your girl is around so delicate sensibilities aren't offended."

"I'm going to have Anya build me a new one, as Tony nearly kept me from getting a second date." Justin says.

"Thanks, Misha, and that's not a problem. I'll stay there for the time being. And I'll warn you if I bring the girlfriend by, though she likes hanging out at her place a lot, too." he says.

"If Tony was figuring on us not liking each other, it's not going well on that front so far." he says.

"Or that could've been his plan all along." Misha half smiled and shrugged. "He's a bastard. Just ask him. Anyway, Mom gave me her penthouse when she married him so I'd have a place of my own. I let those with keys keep them because it really has been a place we kids could gather and relax. We have movie afternoons or someone will go there to study, things like that."

	"Well, I appreciate the gesture, Misha. Thank you. Toni's been saying I need to see Ghostbusters, so she'll probably want to stop by for that." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Classic Rock, but there is a lot of jazz. Mom had quite a collection that she left behind. I should warn you, it's set to alert S.H.I.E.L.D. if there's a problem. Nick Fury likes to keep an eye on his troublemakers and their offspring." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Nick Fury, huh? Some things never change." Justin says. Granted, Misha's Nick Fury and Justin's Nick Fury varied a bit in description, but if the demeanor were similar in any fashion, Justin already knew things would be pretty interesting.

"I don't anticipate any problems, but I'll keep my head down all the same. S.H.I.E.L.D isn't my idea of a good time." Justin says.

	"Can't help it, he's my godfather. Mom worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. for years, so the place was wired to alert them if she was attacked at home. Now they also provide security as an uninterested party because the Winter Guard is mostly concerned with my cousin and his new wife. Did you have a Winter Guard in your world?"

	"They sound vaguely familiar, but I didn't know much about them. Your mother came around sporadically, and it was usually only on big missions, as he had ops of her own going in between." Justin says. "Are they Russian Secret Service or something like that?" Justin asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Something like that. They're Russia's superhero team, like the Avengers. Their purpose is to protect the tsar and his family. Since Mom, Anya and I are here in the States, they check on us, but S.H.I.E.L.D. provides day-to-day security. We're still in the accession line until Mikhail gets his own line established. I'm hoping he has a lot of kids. I get to train with them when I'm in Russia. Lemme tell ya, being a member of the royal family doesn't mean they take it easy on me. It just means I get patched up first." He laughed. "Of course, I'm usually healed by the time they're done, but it's the principle I guess."

Justin's eyebrows rose as he realized that Anya and Misha were both Russian royalty. He'd not put together that their mother was royalty, either, which suddenly put a lot of things Uncle Tony used to say about her into perspective.

"I'm surprised you don't want a bit more of that life. It would keep Mr. Stark out of your hair, if that's what you wanted. Being in Russia, I mean. But I understand that you've got business and family interests here that don't lend to being managed from afar." Justin says.

"But they've probably got an excellent health care plan, even if you've got a healing factor." Justin laughs.

	"The people I grew up with, the X-Men, they're all here," Misha said simply. "We're a team and we have to stick together. My family is here, and it happens to include Tony Stark now. Besides, if I run he'll win." He grinned. "Can't have that, now can I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, can't let the old man think either of us are unable to hack it. I'm not one to let a challenge scare me, personally." Justin says.

"I've got family here myself, so I understand wanting to be around them. It's pretty nice, actually. I didn't know how much I wanted a kid sister until I got one.

And it figures that your kid sister and mine would be best friends." Justin jokes.

	"They've been ganging up on me for years," he agreed. "But not too surprising. I think they genetically planned it that way. Anya was sure to be as impulsive as her father, so it was required that a Rhodes would need to ride herd on her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then it looks like the odds are even now." Justin grins. "And yeah, someone has to keep those crazy Starks in line, so it might as well be a Rhodes. I just hope I don't get volunteered full-time for the new baby." he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Awesome." Justin says. "Anya could use another reason to step out of the lab sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)
