you can have your own floor too if you want

[rehandle]

Oh, I know.

[ He did not, in fact, know - but he certainly did assume the second he knew Jason was getting one. ]

Just wondering how I've been outranked by a kid who keeps fantasizing out loud about stabbing you in your sleep.

[voicelog]

[ it's a guaranteed for stephen lbr. he could even live with him on the same floor if he wanted, but... you know. ☕️ ]

he hasn't stabbed me yet.

besides, it's easier to keep an eye on him this way.

[rehandle]

Go on, then. Which floor are you going to give me?

[ Asks Stephen Strange, still not yet understanding the scale of this building. ]

[voicelog]

if you want to beat out jason todd on floor levels, then you can always share the top floor with me

[ you absolute child. ]

[rehandle]

[ Actually -- that sounds nice. Fortunately he doesn't need to say that out loud to passively accept the offer in a way Tony can easily retract later without the pressure of a serious discussion, and instead: ]

A strong opening bid, but then I'm losing out to him on square footage. Anything else to sweeten the deal?

[voicelog]

i can set up both a meditation and study room for you like the one you never got to properly enjoy in new ams

i'll toss in a library too, except if you want a more expansive one, it'll have to be its own floor

[rehandle]

Sold to the man with an apartment building for one shared penthouse floor and an additional library floor, ft a meditation and study space.

[ The library floor part is, he assumes, all in good fun. ]

[voicelog]

you got it

[ he is adding it to his tdl now. it's happening. ]

What do you think about the guilds?

[voicelog]

i don't care enough about the guilds to have a strong opinion here
but the society is just conceptually stupid

[deadthenred]

You don't believe in rehabilitation?

[voicelog]

i don't believe in giving villains a pass on committing crimes as long as they don't try to end the world or target superheroes and their families

that isn't rehabilitation
that's just a poor compromise

[deadthenred]

Makes it easier to steal from the people who can't defend themselves
But the world's like that, anyway

[voicelog]

those same people would have a better chance at seeking some form of justice or recompense if villainy wasn't being legalized

still, the issues of this world isn't mine to solve

[rehandle]

Great. Let me know when it's time to pack a bag.

[deadthenred]

You're not wrong
But are you sure you aren't a skrull?

[voicelog]

are you sure you aren't one?

[deadthenred]

When would they have taken me?
I was in a tube for 50 years

[voicelog]

i'm not a skrull, barnes

[deadthenred]

I believe you
Actually, do you even remember the big Skrull thing?

[voicelog]

what big skrull thing?

[ that would be a no. ]

[deadthenred]

It turned out a bunch of Avengers were Skrulls
And Barton's wife came back, because she'd been in a Skrull ship and not really dead

[voicelog]

what

when did this happen?

[deadthenred]

A while back
When the Avengers were still split in two because of the SHRA
Can't be that far in your future

[ He shouldn't have made a Skrull joke. ]
