Royal Summons
After getting Justin settled in at the mansion and introducing him around to a few of the older residents, Misha got a message from Tasha to visit as soon as he had the time. With Justin making himself at home in one of the labs, Misha had the time. He was useless with the coding and actual armor creation.

He drove Darlene into the city, listening to her prattle on about a science symposium and exploring the options of an artificial body. Anya had even more to answer for the next time he saw her. This was his car, not one of her experiments.

Stopping long enough for chocolates and flowers, he made good time and let himself into the condo. "Mom, it's Misha!"

	Misha nodded. "He'd like that." "Oh yeah, the brat finally turns eighteen." He hadn't forgotten. It had popped up on his electronic calendar, and Anya's number one AI fan had been showing him web links for gifts on his cell phone for the last two weeks. "So what is it this year? Charity ball? Group party in Tahiti?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know. She hasn't said anything about it so far. Which in itself is strange." Natasha shrugged. "I suspect that she may just want a low key birthday this year. Family dinner and time with Steve. I honestly don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh. Did you check her for mind control germs or if she's a skrull?" The sister he knew liked parties and took every opportunity to gather all her friends together to have one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not yet. I'm hoping it's just because she's distracted with all she has going on." Natasha shrugged and then opened the fridge to get some iced tea. "I'm sure she'll come up with something. Your sister loves parties too much to not have one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How's she really getting along with her new team? I haven't been invited out to meet them and it seems kind of rude to drop in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Fine from what I gather," Natasha said. "They're doing alright. She seems to be enjoying it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm glad." He carefully looked away and hid a smile. "It got her off the B-team for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The important thing is that she's in school," Natasha said. She wasn't going to get into the X-Men vs Avengers who's better debate. She was and always will be an Avenger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of these days he'd get Mom to agree with him or just have fun trying. He knew where her loyalties were. Being the mutant and the X-Men did separate him from the others. "She is the genius," he agreed. "I'm glad she's happy. She deserves it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"So do you," she reminded him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'm working at it," he assured her. "Don't worry about me. You have more important things to worry about. Like the nursery. You get it decorated and furnished yet? I have some Mets pennants that need to go up for the little guy and get him started off right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"Of course I'm going to worry about you. I'm your mother." She gave him a small smile. "I just want you all to be healthy and happy." Natasha shrugged. "It's coming. Now that we know what color to decorate it with, people are going to come this week. Though if Tony tries to paint it in red and gold, I'll shoot him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 07:08 am UTC (link)
	"You've done the shooting thing in the past. He'd expect it. Maybe you should try another tactic. Knife throwing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 07:10 am UTC (link)
	"You have a point," she said. "It's a thought. You may want to get those pennants ready. Tony may get him Yankee pennants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have them at home. I'll bring them by the next time I'm in the city. Not sure when that'll be. Justin Rhodes and I are working on a project out at the institute, so it might be a week or two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know you are welcome here anytime you want to stop by. I'd like it if you stopped by more often," she said. Though she knew her son and knew he usually only stopped by when he had a reason or was asked over. "What are you working on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	"I know. I'll do my best." He smiled at her. He knew she loved him. "He's got some ideas for enhancing the stealth armor and we needed a place with better facilities to test it. Xavier gave his okay for us to use the Danger Room after hours. Stark gave his okay for anything we need, with proprietary ownership, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh. I'm glad Justin is helping you with the armor since your sister is a good distance away and Tony's a little distracted." Though in all honesty Natasha could use someone or something to distract Tony from being a mother hen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Stark suggested it. He gave Justin my number a while back and he's been working on upgrades and staying at the penthouse while I've been at the institute. If we blow something up or start WWIII, it'll be his fault," he said cheerfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kid would never call Tony, Tony. "This is what happens when mad geniuses play with things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-05 02:55 am UTC (link)
	"Justin would be the mad genius. I'm the dumb canuckleheaded russkie who'll risk his neck as the test chimp." He finished his beer and moved around the counter to get another, kissing her cheek as he paased. "I think we'll work well together. Justin has a lot of talent for designing armor waeponry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-05 06:17 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad. It'll be good that you have someone right here to help you with the suit." He had Tony, but she knew the kid would never go to him for help. "I haven't had the chance to talk to Justin much. I haven't been over to the mansion lately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Both Anya and Stark said he knows his stuff and he has ideas from his dimension that impressed them. I think they're trying to get us to bond or something." He opened another beer. "He'll be out at the institute for the time being. I had no idea he'd been dying to try out the Danger Room from his dimension when I suggested we ask to use it for testing the suits. Do you want some more tea?"

	"You can call him Tony you know," she said as she grabbed the pitcher from the fridge. She had been standing there with the door open. "You used to call him that when you were younger." She filled her glass and returned the pitcher to the fridge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That was a long time ago," he said. "I didn't think it was disrespectful to call a grown man by his last name since I've always heard Dad call him Stark. You didn't like me calling him Mr. Stark. I thought this was progress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
