Sooooo who's got some palladium they'd like to give me? No reason. Just need it. Preferably like. I don't know. One point six grams or so. Not greedy.

Oh, and some scrap metal. Again, no reason.

Hilarious.

[Can texts sound exasperated and irritated? Because if they can, this one does.]

[You are infuriating sometimes.]

I'll be back soon.

[It ends up not being as soon as he expected. Steve, being the decent all-around good person that he is, stops to barter with a dude selling actual human coffee. Ridiculously expensive coffee. He actually debates about whether it's worth it but hey, someone needs to extend an olive branch here. Can't say that he isn't trying.

Steve doesn't have any of those credit things on him but he manages to convince the guy to let him do a few odd jobs for it. Dropping off a couple of packages and picking up a few things from other merchants.

When he shows up at the apartment, the cup is still warm too. Now Tony pretty much has to tell him. He crosses to the room the older man is locked in and knocks on his door.]


Here, take this. It's burning my fingers.
starspangledspandex: (I love you)

Action forever

[He looks at the cup and back up at Tony.]

Coffee.

You asked for it.

[Confused, he is confused.]
starspangledspandex: (The lord above will let me)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-21 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes?

[Because you asked him to!]

I traded a few odd jobs for it. He just asked me to deliver a couple things.

[He shrugs--it's no big deal.]
starspangledspandex: (Everything I had is gone)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-21 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't understand any of this. He's confused.]

Is there something wrong with it?
starspangledspandex: (What I stand for)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-22 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe that's because it is coffee. He'd even asked several random humans to make sure they all said the same thing about it.

Steve kind of stares at him for a second.]


Oh.
starspangledspandex: (That no one can deny)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Good, I'm glad. [Brief pauses.] I didn't get any palladium. I didn't know what you needed it for.

[How's that working out for you?]
starspangledspandex: (I was never one)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-25 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, at least you're learning. Steve is definitely stubborn and you might as well tell him. He's going to find out one way or another.

Also, you think you're explaining things but you're not. He just looks confused.]


I'm sorry?
starspangledspandex: (The lord above will let me)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't keep up if he hadn't known in advance! All he knows is he has a reactor in his chest but Steve hasn't the faintest idea what it actually does.]

No, I don't know. They never said what it was for in your file, just that it powered the suit.
starspangledspandex: (The blues walked in)

[personal profile] starspangledspandex 2013-02-25 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
He's not that bad.

[Yes, SHIELD sucks and he doesn't trust him but they can't just assume he's awful person because of it.]

What does the palladium do?

[Sorry if his questions are irritating but he has no idea how that sort of thing works. He doesn't know exactly what the accelerator does either but that's not important right now and if Tony needs it, then he needs it.]

What do you need to... build an accelerator?
