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!"

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

	"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."

	"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)

	Natasha gave up. It was useless to get him to try to change his mind. "What are you getting your sister and brother for their birthday?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Misha really did try to make things easier for her, and it only seemed to frustrate her more. He'd been raised to show respect. It was disrespectful to call an adult by their first name. Those that were close enough carried the honorific Uncle or Aunt. Those that weren't were still Mr., Mrs., or Ms. It wasn't in him to pretend to an instant relationship to anybody, but damned if he could explain it to her so she would see his side of it. Stark didn't seem to have a problem with it, only Mom. Maybe it was a guy thing.

"Darlene's tossing ideas at me on a daily basis, mostly expensive and for Anya. I swear, Anya's convinced my car that she's the greatest thing since pop top beer cans. I'm pushing for a twin gift. Matching bunny slippers, maybe."

	Natasha chuckled. "I haven't gotten them anything yet either. Neither of them have said anything about wanting anything specific." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-05 07:20 am UTC (link)
	"There you go. If they can't update their lists, they're stuck with whatever we come up with for gifts. I think I will get them bunny slippers. Pink for Anya, blue for James. Evil bunny slippers. With beady red eyes and fangs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And your sister will wear them just like she wears that sweatshirt you got her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grinned. It tickled him that Anya razzed him to his face about his presents, and wore them anyway. Especially when he went out of his way to make them different. "She is my favorite to torture," he said, laughing a bit. "I like the face she makes when she says she hates me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think that goes both ways," Natasha said. Her two children loved to torment and harass each other. If they didn't Natasha would think they didn't love each other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His smirk acknowledged that Mom knew them well enough to predict their behaviour when he and Anya were together. He was a Logan and Anya a Stark. Their genes meant they had to be somebody's pain in the ass. Lucky them, they had each other at the top of the list since Anya's birth. "She loves it, and the fact that she doesn't have to be so careful with her pranks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha nodded as she slid onto a stool. "When do fall classes start for you?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blinked at her for a minute before remembering he'd enrolled for the fall semester earlier in the summer. It had been a busy summer. "End of the month. I'm glad you reminded me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you need anything? New clothes? Supplies?" One thing she had always made sure of during his life was that she was around when it was time to go back to school. They used to have marathon back to school shopping trips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-08 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned at her. Sometimes it seemed Mom thought he was eleven and getting ready for a growth spurt. It was cute. "Mom, I have plenty of clothes and the supplies I can get when I get my book list. You take it easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd be comatose if I took it any easier. I just want to go do something. I swear I'm starting to go stir crazy. Tony's been hovering like a mother hen and I'm about ready to shoot him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, he can't squawk too much if I'm with you. Where do you want to go? The spa for a facial? A ride in Central Park? We could catch one of the carriages. Name it, and we'll do something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How about lunch and some shopping? You can carry the bags for me and I can buy things you don't need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-09 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"You got it, darlin'. Name the time and I'll be here. I'll even be armed." He grinned again. "How's that for devotion?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-09 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"How about now? I'll leave a note for Tony and maybe we can slip out of here before he notices." She smiled. Trying to keep a step ahead of her husband had been a challenge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He got up to offer assistance. "We better go before the delivery guy shows up," he warned. "Or get lucky and meet the guy going down. Darlene is in the garage and she would love the chance to tell you how well you're doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-09 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Natasha took the offered assistance and stood up. "Let me get changed first. Then we'll go. How is Darlene?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
