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.

"Avenger?" DAMN YOU, SCOTT.

"It's either going to make sense in a few years or it won't apply. Don't worry about it," Scott said.

"I'll keep it in mind," Tony said slowly. And make Nick Fury pissed off in the meantime. As one does.

"So you're one of Bobby's friends here?" Scott asked.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I'd hope so. I don't end up buying unfortunate things with complete strangers." Oh, Tony.

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"What kind of unfortunate things?" Scott had to ask.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Oh. So Scott didn't know. Awkward. "Penguin sanctuaries. They're... good investments?"

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

Like Bobby told him anything that could later be revealed in an amusingly awkward way.

Fortunately, Tony Stark was a well-known drunk, so this kind of made sense. "I'm guessing it wasn't a sober investment."

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

DAMN YOU, BOBBY.

"But it is a good investment!" You keep telling yourself that, Tony. "Bobby put up twenty dollars, I think."

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"Has he made that twenty dollars back yet?" Scott asked.

He was judging you with eye punches from the Judge Dimension, Tony.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Well, no. But it was a good tax write off for Stark International?" Or so Mrs. Rhodes said after attempting to strangle him over the phone.

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"Which does what for Bobby?" Scott asked out of curiosity and not continued judging, no, really, no more judging going on here.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Which means I have enough money to take him out drinking again," Tony replied smoothly. Because he was a genius. Or something.

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"Which leads to more penguin sanctuaries," Scott pointed out.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"And tax breaks!" Which was good for everyone.

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"And more drunken adventures. I'm starting to think you're not a great influence," Scott mused.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I'm a great influence! Just ask Mr. Rogers!" Yes. Captain America would totally speak up for you, Tony.

Really.

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"... The children's show host?" Scott asked.

GODDAMMIT, TONY.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

GODDAMN IT, SCOTT.

"Steve Rogers?"

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"Is that his name?" Scott asked. He didn't know. He grew up in an evil orphanage run by a guy whose name was actually "Sinister."

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

SEEMED LEGIT.

"Are we talking about Captain America here?"

Re: Welcome!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"The children's show host can't be Captain America. He's way too skinny," Scott pointed out.

SECRET IDENTITIES, TONY. God.

Re: Welcome!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"...right." LOOK, THIS WAS IN THE HISTORY BOOKS WHERE TONY WAS FROM.
