*amused eyes* I know. I think maybe this is more fun. How curious are you?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d say I\u2019m curious enough to always get myself in trouble.~<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHow about I let you try to find out what I meant, then?\u201d She\u2019s laughing at him, oh yes. When is Tony Stark ever confused? \u201cI dare you, in fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA dare? Really? Are we in grade school now?\u201d He grinned at her playfully. \u201cI love games. Especially ones I know I can win. Which is all of them,\u201d He finished with an air of arrogance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cPfft, you never got out of grade school. I know \/all\/ the rumours about \/you\/.\u201d Summer made a beckoning gesture, grinning back. \u201cCome on. What kind of picture records more details than the physical?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAh, actually graduated MIT by nineteen.\u201d He leveled a bored expression her way. \u201cEveryone knows the rumors about me. Only, like, half, of those might be true.\u201d Tony rolled his eyes in exasperation. \u201cOkay. Riddles. I hate riddles.\u201d He paused in thought for the space of several seconds. Finally, he shrugged one shoulder, a look of disinterest on his face. \u201cDon\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMust not be that curious after all \u2026 I\u2019m wounded. Oh, no, what\u2019s this?\u201d She arched an eyebrow. \u201cDefinitely curiosity. And a lot of anger, my my. You do a lovely poker face, Mr Stark, but I\u2019ll give you a secret: I know what you\u2019re feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His passive, disinterested expression never wavered. His curiosity, however, piqued even further. \u201cThat so?\u201d He retorted with dry skepticism. Tony Stark was a man of science. Talk of \u2018magic\u2019 and mind reading and the such, he always approached from a logical standpoint, never to trust fully without first testing the theory. \u201cAnd what am I feeling right now?\u201d A dark brow arched in a clear challenge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer lifted a hand between them, eyes sliding out of focus. Her voice went toneless, empty, and a little crease appeared between her brows. \u201cYou\u2019re curious. You don\u2019t trust me \u2014 no, it\u2019s that you don\u2019t believe me. But you\u2019re intrigued yet.\u201d A slow blink pulled her out of the trance, and she tipped her head at Tony. \u201cI expect that\u2019s not good enough for you. It usually isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still skeptical, Tony rolled his eyes. \u201cSo you\u2019re very <\/em>observant. I could pull the same stunt you just did. Doesn\u2019t make me a mind reader, or whatever you <\/em>are.\u201d He shrugged a shoulder, a challenging look on his face. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“The word is empath.” Summer drew a deep breath. “Shall I go farther? It really doesn’t matter to me if you believe me or not. I know what I am, and that’s what’s important. Though I really have to suggest you see someone about that self-doubt problem.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
