Brother-Sister Act
Justin arrives at the Manhattan apartment, checking over the address that Mom gave him one more time. He probably should have called to see if she'd be home, but he'd rather she not find a reason not to see him. Of all his "family", Toni is probably the most affected by his appearance, and the person he's spoken to the least of his immediate family. She's checked on him while he was asleep, and helped him out here and there, but they haven't really bonded or anything. He's not sure she wants to, and if it turns out he'll be leaving soon, he could be wasting his time.

But he's never had a sister before, and there's a part of him that needs to know what that's like. This is one of the few upsides to Tina being out of town on business for work; if she was here, Justin might make an excuse to leave and go see her so that he doesn't have to confront this.

Anya says she's cool, so she's cool. he thinks.


Justin knocks on the door and waits for an answer....and hoping he doesn't run into Rhodey's wife.

Justin smiles widely at Toni's mention of Jazz. He grew up on it himself, and finding a club that plays all Jazz here in the city made him happy.

"I love Jazz. Grew up on it back home. I've been trying to get used to some of the other music here. Country is pretty good, as is R&B. Tina, my girlfriend, took me to a Jazz club last month, and we had a great time." he says.

"Maybe you could set my new iPod up with some stuff you listen to so I can try it out?" he asks.

Toni grinned. "I grew up on it too. Good old fashioned New Orleans Jazz and Ragtime. Grandpa can still play a mean trumpet."

She nodded. "Sure. I've got gigs of it on my computer."

"What about you, Justin? What do you do for fun?"

"Well, I work in the lab, or go out with my girlfriend. I used to restore classic cars with Uncle Tony when I was kid, but I don't have the means to do that right now. Probably not for awhile, either.

But I could always use a few new hobbies, just like anyone else." he chuckles.

Toni made a face at his mention of a lab. "Work in the lab?" she laughed. "What're you, a Stark?"

"Hey, I was partially raised by one, I'll have you know!" he laughs. "I know, I know. I should get out more, but I'm working on a new suit.

War Machine's already known around here, so I've got a better idea." he says.

"Oh?" Toni asked. "Whatcha got?"

She'd tried the Armored Avenger thing for a bit herself. Hadn't worked. She still wasn't quite confident in going back to the team yet... but soon...

"I'd have to take you to the lab to show it to you, but it's along the lines of the Mark IV armor. I'm trying to get more weaponry into it without sacrificing mobility." he says.

"I'm not sure what I'll call it yet, but it will remind me of home. And when I get back, I can show Dad that I didn't waste my time here." he says.

"Nice!" Toni said. "I'm sure he'll be proud of you for it. Not that he probably isn't already."

She still had some amount of mechanical talent, even if some of her more innate knowledge had been tied up in her previous mutant powers.

"Thinking of calling myself Pulsar," she said, "when I go back to the Avengers. One of Mom's old names."

"That's awesome. I'm glad you're carrying on the Avengers tradition, Toni. Your mom would probably like that a lot. And you know Rhodey will like it." Justin says.

"So, you ever been to any other countries or states?" he asks.

"Beats the heck out of Captain Marvel," Toni joked. "Taken and way too much baggage there."

She nodded. "Plenty of times. Last year, right before the summer ended, me, Anya, Sammy, and some of the other girls went on a whirlwind tour of Europe, plus I've been all over the world and country with the Avengers."

"Ooh, yeah. Best to avoid that one." Justin agrees.

"I've set foot in a few countries, but maybe I can do some actual traveling here. Everything is so new and...whole is the best way to describe it, I guess. It's been nice here."

Another nod. "Your world... Well, I'm glad you're getting to see something like ours," she said.

"Me, too." he nods in agreement.

"What's your favorite movie?" he asks.

"Ghostbusters," Toni replied. "Yours?"

"Ghostbusters? Would you believe I've never seen that one?" he asks.

"I like old classics.Casablanca is mine, followed closely by The Great Gatsby." he says.

"Oh. My. God."

Toni's eyes widened in surprise. "We have got to fix that."

"We should. Tina says they're cool, too, but she didn't have them on DVD. We should make a movie night out of it, and you can get me up to speed on some of the popular movies here." he says.

"Sounds like a plan," she agreed. "Favorite author?"

"I've got two. George Orwell and Mark Twain. Two men who used pen names. Go-go secret identities." he laughs.

Toni chuckled at that. "How very super-hero of you," she told him.

"Toni Morrison, for me. Also who dad claims I'm named after during the periods when he and Uncle Tony aren't getting along."

"She's a good alternate. I didn't get to read as much of her work as I liked, but I'm hoping to change that someday."

"Favorite song?" he asks.

She looked embarrassed for a moment, then admitted it. "...Thriller."

"Mine is The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

I won't tell if you won't." he offers. "You drink coffee?"

"Deal," Toni quickly agreed. She nodded. "You learn to live on it when you're Stark-sitting."

"I'm trying not to pick up the habit, but this city doesn't make it easy. I have expect someone to steal my wallet and hand me a coffee as a trade with all the coffee shops you guys have around here." he says.

"And you've got a Stark to baby-sit while I don't. Though, if they try to stick me with the new baby, we're switching. Just putting that out there." he says.
