Meeting of the Minds
Justin's phone got Misha's message not long after he sent it, but Justin had been busy seeing Tina off. Once she was headed off to work, Justin calls Misha back.

"Hey, I'm up to talk when you are. I'll be at the penthouse." Justin says, driving himself back there. Tina's apartment was too quiet without her.

He'll be waiting inside, working on one of his armor's gauntlets when Misha arrives.

"Dad's cool. He'll make me regret later that I kept him out of the loop on something like this, but I can't run the risk that he'll tell Mom. She doesn't need the stress." And he never forgot the lesson she taught him. Avenger issues belong to the Avengers. Mutant issues are the X-Men. Family took a backseat.

"I didn't even ask. Have you finished an armored suit for yourself? If you want to try out the Danger Room, you're going to need it."

"I've been working on my armor when I wasn't working on yours and it's nearly ready to go. Just have to get it armed up and then run some diagnostics. It was pretty beat up after I crashed here a few months ago, but it's in working order." Justin says.

"Yeah, I know how that is. My dad and I used to have to keep Mom out of the loop on a lot of things. She didn't like us having to go out so often." he says.

"Mom and Dad have an agreement that Dad would tell Mom what I was up to and make sure she was in the loop while I was growing up, but there's always been a line. Separate families. Me and Dad. Anya and Stark. It's still me and Dad, and David and Rose now. Mom made her choice and she has her own family with Stark now."

Juice, yes. He poured himself a glass of apple juice. "Being a mutant draws another line. This is one of those lines. I don't want Dad to tell Mom for her own protection, and I don't want to put him in a position of having to make that choice. They have a good friendship. It shouldn't be strained because of me."

Justin nodded as Misha spoke. Ouch. He couldn't imagine how much it sucked to have a parent choose their other family over the one they had with you. In a way, Justin kind of felt like that about his current Dad and Pepper. There was no logical reason for it, of course, but that didn't stop him.

"Hey, no need to justify it to me, Misha. I understand. Your mother is at a critical stage in her pregnancy and you don't want to jeopardize that. And if they've got that kind of friendship, they'd be bound to tell each other anything important.

"Let's just hope that, by the the time you have to tell them anything, you can also tell them that you've handle things and there's nothing more to worry about." Justin says.

"Not justifying. Explaining. We're a weird little group." He finished his juice. "It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. That works with Mom. Not with Dad. That's why we keep quiet. We're a couple of guys working on armor and asking to use the Danger Room. That's logical and it'll sharpen our skills. They're all for that.

"You up for the flight there? I left Darlene in the institute garages. She was busy bossing David by telling him what to do about his new car. I didn't have the heart to ruin her fun."

	"We can fly, or we can take my car, in case you want nap a bit more." Justin says. "The girlfriend totaled hers, and decided it would better if I drove the new one she bought until she felt okay behind the wheel again. If the logic baffles you, I understand. I'm still trying to figure how she rigged this up in her head." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't question girl logic. The wives cured me of that a long time ago. We should probably take the car so you have normal transportation out there. We can't even get a pizza delivery." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Justin nods. "Car it is. Mind if we stop by Chipotle on the way? I need a burrito." Justin says. "Did Tony say anything about wanting progress reports or some such? I want to factor that into my time table as well if he does." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're driving, we stop where you want to stop, bub." Misha nodded. "Stark said he wanted to be kept in the loop. Since we're using his toys, I guess we should do that. We need anything, we let him know. Remember he has the suit's recordings of the last fight on a private server so we'd have to ask him for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Actually, that's being sent over with my stuff from the lab at Stark. I asked him for it while you were sleeping." Justin says. "We just have to make sure your dad doesn't decide to take up hacking and go into the server we set up at Xavier's. Him seeing all of that won't help us keep it secret from him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Clearly you're way ahead of me," Misha said cheerfully. "Dad take up hacking? Only if he can't convince somebody to do it for him." The glass went into the dishwasher. "I don't need to pack anything, just have to grab the armor so I'm good to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-08-02 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Good. Let me just grab some tools and I'm ready. Stark's people should be meeting us in the area." Justin says. He disappears into the bedroom, then comes out with two suitcases: one is his armor, the other is a group of tools. "All right, let's go." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha reached for one of the cases. "You do know that his people won't be allowed past the first floor common areas, right? Getting the stuff down to the the sublevel won't be a problem. I can get us some help taking it down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I figured we can just drop it off on the front steps. If you've got people who can help us get it where we need to go, that's great." Justin says. "Let's ride." Justin says, heading for the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you kidding? Mansion full of mutants who like to eat my pizza and drink my beer? Plenty of help around." "After you, bub. I'll lock up." (Reply to this)(Parent)
