[The point of no return is miles back in his life. Even before the hero existed, really, because Tony Stark would always be a name that attracted trouble. He had thought at one point that he could quit. Quit being a hero; quit being Tony Stark; quit being known and just start over.

Even here, part of him is still trying to start over. But the rest of him, the practical side, knows that he can't quit. And that he never will, even when given the choice. He can't outrun it.

But he can sure as hell make the most of it.]

Oh, really? [There's a glint in Tony's eye as he dares Kyle with that question.] You think you can surprise me with your creativity? Now, that I'd like to see.

[This is his game. This is where he feels at home. It's just a joke, of course, but he still likes to push and see just how far he can get.]

I guess that means we're kind of in the same line of work. I wouldn't say universe... at least, that's not my usual. Sometimes we have to jump in. Usually I work local. That's enough to keep me busy.

I can't say I ever considered a cape. Don't those get in the way? Although, I like the sound of customizable style. Bet you could make something really interesting.
