BWI Portalocity Lounge [Sunday morning]

While Ramona had seen a lot of things, and traveling by portal hadn't really freaked her out or anything, she still wasn't really feeling great about being here. Maybe making an impulse decision to go to Maryland (of all places) hadn't been her best move.

In any case, though, she was here now, and there wasn't really a reason for her to turn back without giving it at least a day or so. So she lounged against the wall under the sign for Fandom High in the lounge, her bags by her feet as she waited for the shuttle.

And subsequently, the adults taking us with them!

With said adults! Large-group transportation is fun!

Wow, it's weird putting '11' in the year spot.

Sorry this was like 15 minutes late! I got distracted by the first hangover of 2011.

Someone needed to drive the bus and Ghanima was somehow the less responsible of the pair on the road. Yeah. You just think about that one.

Scary, right?

But there Deadpool was, reading what appeared to be an old issue of Highlights magazine and humming along to something by Ke$ha on the radio. May god have mercy on his soul.

Buses weren't quite in Tony's area of expertise. Well, not the kind one road to a school. Or... okay anywhere.

But he might have designed one or two! Maybe. He had a lot of patents already, okay?

But there he was, holding onto his backpack and looking around cautiously. Where was Rhodey when you needed him?

Ramona didn't move from where she leaned against the wall, tracking the other kid with her eyes. "Waiting for the bus to Fandom High?" she checked, lazily checking her cell phone as she asked.

"Yeah," Tony said, glancing over to stare first at the hair, then at the phone. Back to the hair once again before remembering: girl. He cleared his throat, trying to sit more casually. "High school," he added like that said it all.

He so shoulda asked Rhodey more questions about what people did in high school.

Ramona just stared at him for a moment. "Yeah," she said slowly. "High school. That's where we're headed."

...the 'duh' was kind of implied.

Or maybe researched it some more online. Tony could feel his cheeks heat up and he coughed to cover that up oh so well.

Somewhere, another version of him was head-desking at how smooth he was not.

"Do you go... often?" Yeah, he winced at how that sounded too.

Sov put their back down, relieved to have found the sign. The noise and oddness of this place made them more uneasy than the portal itself, but this was carefully hidden behind a mask of wary indifference.

They glanced a little at the other people waiting, but didn't really try to make eye contacts.

[I'm off to bed soon but will pick up pings in the morning]

"Like every day," Ramona said, pausing a moment just so the obviousness of her disbelief set in. "Though this school is new, I guess."

Ramona, meanwhile, glanced over as well, looking back down at her phone before offering a half-hearted, "Hey."

"It's my first time," Tony admitted. "Since... a long time."

And that sort of explained things a little, so he got an arched eyebrow -- the only indication that Ramona was actually surprised. "Really? Why?"

"Hello." Sov offered a small smile.

That hair colour was hard not to notice. Could it be natural? "Is that your natural hair colour?"

Ramona raised an eyebrow, trying to tell if the kid was serious. After a moment, she evenly replied, "Nope. Just dyed it a couple days ago, actually."

"Ah, my dad pulled me out for homeschooling." Tony pulled out his phone, fiddling with it with the same intensity that Robin Williams used to tell jokes. "And now I have to go again to inherent his company."

Way to make the dumbest clause in your will ever, Howard Stark.

Tony offered the, well he was going to assume boy here, a quick smile. "New here too?"

"...that's weird," Ramona said, tilting her head a little and actually putting her phone in her back pocket to give him more of her attention. "You have to go to high school? Why? More world experience or something?"

Tony shrugged, eyes dropping for a moment. "He said he felt guilty about stuff. So, I have to graduate from high school and turn 18 to take control of the company. Even though I'm ten times smarter than half the people there."

It would be him being smug if only it wasn't true.

"The turning 18 part I get," Ramona admitted, softening a little bit. He just seemed sad, and even she wasn't that heartless. "Sucks that you can't take it sooner, though, if you're as smart as you say."

"Of course I am," he replied, managing a grin. "I'm Tony Stark."

Ramona's brow flicked up again. "Okay. Nice to meet you," she said, shrugging. "I'm Ramona Flowers."

Hey, he was just going to go with her being polite. Because everyone knew about Stark ~~Industries~~ ~~Enterprises~~ International. "So, are schools normally like this?"

"With the waiting for the bus and all?" Ramona wondered. "I mean, kinda. I've never been to a boarding school before, though."
