Parents Weekend Meet & Greet, Friday

It was a crisp yet none-too-chilly September afternoon in the Park, the weather as always perfectly nice to fit the island's general ideas about what these events would be like.

The theme in the park seemed adorably retro, perhaps best seen in the massive banner that hung above:

Welcome, friends, family, and other hangers-on! Please make yourself at home.

[[ ocd up, have at! ]]

Steve still heard him. "Well, I'm sure he has his reasons," he said quietly.

"Yeah," Rhodey said dryly. "Something about a phone."

And a letter.

"So he can call me," Steve said, nodding.

Rhodey just looked at him for that. For a good, long moment.

"Oh, you're as hopeless as him," he said like this was just dawning on him.

"I wouldn't call it hopeless," Steve said earnestly.

"Of course you wouldn't."

Was that a compliment? No. No, it was not.

Well, Rhodey was Team Stank, right?

"Would you call it hopeless?" Steve asked.

Rhodey sighed heavily and looked at him for a moment. "I'd say how things are going right now... it's looking that way."

Steve bit his lower lip. "That bad, huh."

"It's been a bad year," Rhodey said, going for the understatement.

Steve huffed out a humorless laugh. "I've noticed. How are you feeling?"

"Well, I'm doing better," Rhodey replied, smoothing hands down along the faint shape of the mechanism that helped him walk.
heroic_jawline: (beard: regrets everything)

Steve looked relieved. "I'm so glad to hear that. We were all really worried."

"Were you?" Rhodey let that one slip out there, but didn't let it linger anywhere other than in Steve's mind. "Are the others okay? I saw Wanda, but..."

Well, then he could pretend not to see that wounded look in Steve's eyes. "The others are good. We keep in sporadic contact."

"Good. Good," Rhodey said, letting out a long sigh as he looked around the place. "Don't tell me where, okay? I've only got so much leeway."

But here he was nonetheless.

"Mine. Tony's. Anyone who's still around, really."

Vision was still, you know, Vision.

Rhodey's look implied Steve was an idiot if he was even asking that. "When he's not driving me up a wall."

"I'm sure he can do both at the same time," Steve said with a smile. "Do you want to go and see my Tony?"

"That would be nice," Rhodey said, looking around at the party. "Very nice."

"Pretty sure we won't run into alternative versions of people we know at the Towerlet," Steve said.

That needed a better name.
