Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 1)

[bigdamnprincipal]

With things back to normal - or as normal as Fandom ever got - preparations for graduation had gone into full swing. The ceremony was set for right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, and the lawn had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths in which to walk to the seating area and giving everything a twinkling, serene appearance.

Of course, the staff knew that graduation was rarely a serene event, and the fact that Ingvar's volcano was being unusually active emphasized the need to prepare the seniors as much as possible. Last year's cache of weapons had been discreetly stashed in a trunk behind the podium...and yes, they'd all been properly cleaned. Who knew what dried Viking blood could do to metal?

Once everything had been arranged, the guests were let in, and all that was left was to pray everything went smoothly.

Seriously, OSC. Seriously.

"You're Ender's sister?" USE THOSE POWERS OF DEDUCTION, TONY. USE 'EM.

"Apparently, my reputation precedes me," Valentine said, sounding just a little bit pleased right there. She quirked her head thoughtfully at the boy. "Ender's friend, or Peter's?"

And, boy, did that last part of the question just sound wrong.

Tony had to stifle a snort of laughter at that. "Uh, Ender's. I heard Topher call you Peter's sister and I assumed..."

"And assumed correctly," Valentine said, with a smirk of her own for the stifled laugh. She didn't know this kid yet, but she liked him, just on the merit of that response. "I'm Valentine. Ender's Valentine, not Peter's, or I should just say this Peter's, but now it's just starting to sound confusing. I'm sure the Peter that goes here would recognize me, but feel compelled to comment on my unexpected growth spurt. And you are...?"

"You get used to it here," Tony assured her. "Apparently I used to employ Ender and Ben. Tony, Tony Stark."

"Used to?" Valentine asked, an amused quirk to her brow.

"Old, goateed, kinda rude me from some other timeline."

Valentine narrowed her eyes, studying Tony's face. "I could see it being a good look for you," she noted. "Now that I think about it, the name does sound kind of familiar, but it's been a long time since I've been here."

Tony made a face at the idea of growing a beard. A sexy, sexy beard. "You've visited before?"
