Steve was bright-eyed and smiling because Steve was always bright-eyed and smiling. Tony...Tony was a different story.

Tony was clutching his oversized travel mug of coffee and looking like death warmed over. Maybe he was getting sick or something, right?

Dum-E in the corner was rocking excitedly, holding a fire extinguisher in his claw.

"Since you've mastered the idea behind Baked Alaskas with the volcanoes, let's make them more elaborate! Today you'll make comets that you'll set on fire and then they'll crash into a landscape of your choice."

Oh no.

Oh yes. This had been a caffeinated Tony plan.

"Good luck," Tony managed before getting dosed in flame retardant foam by a very trigger happy Dum-E.
