Friends in Armor?
Harvey had gotten very well acquainted with Pepper and Happy. And, over time, they suggested he got to know the kids of their Tony and Rhodey. So that's what Harvey did. Using Pepper as his connection, arrangements were made to meet Anya Stark.

He was sitting down outside at a coffee shop, early for his meeting with her.

	Harvey paused. "I... haven't. I don't know if I could. He was like a second father to me, in my world. When he died... and the fight before that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya nodded. "Well if you ever want to, just say the word and I can set something up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. I appreciate it." He was silent, but uncomfortable at leaving things at that. "Are you on the Avengers? Silly question, I know, but I was just wondering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was," she answered. "But when I started school I moved to Boston. I formed the Thunderbolts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The Thunderbolts? Isn't that a team of former villains?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was and is," Anya said. "I believe in second chances and I'm willing to give those who honestly want one a second chance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess I can see that," he replied. "Still, though. How can you know if they really want to redeem themselves?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't," she said. "I have to give them the benefit of the doubt, give a little trust and hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Leading a team in general seems like a handful. I'm sure you'll do good, though. You seem like a leadership kind of person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-23 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not," she said. "My brother is the leader type, but then again he /is/ a Rogers. I'm winging all of this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We haven't been together that long," Anya said. "Give us time. We'll see what happens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright then." He paused. "I wonder, have you met my alternate universe half-brother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you mean Justin, yes, I have. He and I have worked on armor together," Anya explained. "He's pretty cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good to hear," he replied. "Pepper said he was a good guy, too. And he's a Rhodes, so being bad would go against the natural order of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-23 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"He is," Anya said. "You should make it a point to meet him. I think you'd like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-23 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so. Even if I find a way home, I'd feel bad if I didn't get a chance to know and be cool with him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-23 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Anya nodded. "Good idea. He's worth getting to know." "You know, we have quite a few dimensional visitors and ways to get them home are being explored. So don't give up hope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wonder, though. Depending on how long it might take, would I even want to leave this world? If I build a good life here, I don't know if I would want to let it go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can understand that," she said. "Some worlds are truly horrible. My brother James came from a world that Ultron took over. Not nice by any stretch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
