She\u2019d been looking for trouble honestly, for once. Depressed and frustrated, angry for no particular reason, and itching for a fight.<\/p>\n

Her taekwondo master would be ashamed of her.<\/p>\n

Summer just latched on to the dark beacons of similar anger and went hunting.<\/p>\n

But she\u2019d sated that need, leaving a few bodies sprawled in the darkness of unlit corners, aching and unconscious and unburnt for once, and she was deep into regret now. Regret for losing control, giving in to the shadows that haunted her heart. Not at all paying attention to anything much around her until she walked right into someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry,\u201d the figure muttered, sincerity sliding off the word.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might want to look where you\u2019re going, place like this,\u201d Summer replied mildly, half admonishing herself as well. \u201cIt\u2019s not safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI would hardly be here if I was looking for safe, now would I?\u201d The words came out a bit more snappy that Tony had intended, and internally, he winced: that\u2019s why being diplomatic and being drunk (and in pain, but that was the lesser of two factors) was never a good mixture to have when dealing with people. Like now, with the pain only adding oil to the fire of irritation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway,\u201d the genius made sure he sounded normal this time, carefully\u00a0enunciating\u00a0every word – and just succeeding in sounding reasonably sober (well\u2026 just a bit tipsy, at most) \u201cShouldn\u2019t I be the one telling you that? Not to be sexist or anything, but you ARE statistically more likely to be attacked and all,\u201d Tony gave the girl a meaningful look, subtly noting her\u2026 somewhat ruffled appearance, and her overall posture. On the other hand\u2026 \u201cOkay. I take my words back. Guess you\u2019re one of those that can take care of herself?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSmart man,\u201d Summer murmured. She returned the assessing glance and deliberately raised her eyebrows. \u201cI definitely think I\u2019m safer out here alone than you are \u2014 without your suit. Mr Stark. And that\u2019s without using my powers, either. With those, I could walk down this street naked and nobody would bother me. It\u2019s sweet that you\u2019re so concerned, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t mean to sound quite so arrogant, and winced inwardly. But the words were said now, hanging in the air between them. She tucked the stray lock back over her ear and into her plait, watching Tony.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHey now, don\u2019t diss me out just because I don\u2019t happen to have my tech on me. Ain\u2019t a good thing to do. And not just me. Heck, I know people who can take your head off with nothing but a\u2026 Okay. Shutting up at that point, because my imagination is, apparently, firmly set on \u2018disturbing\u2019 right now.\u201d Tony shook his head, clearing out that last remaining bit of the alcohol haze that seemed intent on making sure he was acting the blubbering mess. Not an easy thing to do – but hey, the engineer had years of experience dealing with the board, Pep, reporters, Pep, one-night partners, Jarvis and his snark and last, but not the least, Rhodey after some wild nights out and this? Didn\u2019t have nothing on any of the above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wouldn\u2019t be too sure about the naked part – but hey, be my guest. I\u2019m just pretty sure there WOULD be a few morons who would try their luck – there always are – but then again, there are quite a few people who deserve to have a nice show once in a while.\u201d The words were accompanied by a more Tony-ish look, complete with crossed arms, semi-steady posture and the arrogant smirk. \u201cThen again, there is press to consider, and no matter what they claim – that thing is a savage bitch one shouldn\u2019t touch with a long pole. Or ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“The press only knows me when I wear the mask, darlin’,” Summer drawled. “\/You\/ just happened to catch me on a night when I was going vigilante. As it happens, I’m absolutely certain about the naked part.” Teasingly, she added, “Would you happen to be thinking of yourself \u00a0as one of those people who deserves a nice show?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
