[When the video feed comes on, Tony is selling the image of being personable. Nice suit, nice hair, and a smile that is inviting someone to start telling jokes.]
Current events seem kind of hairy lately. At least these come in a small package. After some of the other issues we've had, these guys are pretty manageable.
That's not what I wanted to talk about. Anyone else notice that we've got a problem with that? Talking. I mean, it makes sense. We're from different places, some of us are newer than others, and it's a lot to take in. I know some people have already been getting people together, so I figured it's time I stepped up too.
So, hi. My name's Tony Stark. Some of you know me. A lot of you probably know of the other Stark, but for those of you who managed by amazing misfortune to miss both of us, I'm an engineer. Used to run a company. I'm good at building machines. Also one of the guys with a second name and a few extra perks, but that's not important. The point is, we all have different talents to offer and we'll get a lot further if we work together. Just to be clear: I'm not recruiting for anything. If you're interested, we can talk. If not, there's no pressure.
[And with that he ends the transmission.]

[He looks reluctant to say any more.]
And more recently? You tried to kidnap my brother so he didn't turn into 'Another Scarlet Witch'. So yeah, you're not exactly my favourite person.

"More recently"? When did I do that?

[the steam has been taken out of his anger now that Billy's stepped in. Tommy was pretty sure he was only mad because Tony was trying to cover it up and pretend it never happened. It's about the principle of the matter.]
You and the rest of the Avengers. But whatever, your reputation is more important, right?

[He's not trying to be testy, but his reflex is to get defensive and that is just what he does.]
This doesn't have anything to do with them. Don't you think we have enough problems without bringing more with us?

[Well. Tony does have a point. But that doesn't mean Tommy has to like it.]
It doesn't make them go away.

[He was trying not to say that, but he's just reached the end of patience with it.]
You want to talk about it, then talk. But get it out now, because there's nothing I can do while we're here.

You wanted to pick a fight with me? What did you actually expect me to do?

You've made that clear already. Trust me. I get just how pissed off you are, and I know what happened wasn't-
That wasn't how it should have gone. But it did. I was and am trying to save lives. If you feel like we've got a score to settle, then let's settle it. Honestly I'd rather skip that part, but I don't have much else to offer.

[he scowls and makes a frustrated noise. Billy isn't as mad about this as he should be now. And his steam is dispelling, but he still needs to punch something. Stark's face preferably.]
Peh. Yeah, like you could go one round with me without your suit. It's a waste of time.

[Right? God, please let him be right. Not on purpose.
He has to believe that. Tony meets Tommy's eyes as much as he can through the screen.]
Try me.

I'm a speedster. [PLS TONY :|.]

[As far as he knows. The idea bothers him.]
You're still a kid. [Despite what he says, it's actually without venom. Really, if they did try to hurt Billy, he can see the reason for aggression. That benefit of doubt is softening the blow from him a bit.]

Why don't we just call this a truce? Right now we have bigger problems to worry about.

If you have anything else to say, you'll have to say it in person.
Sleep on it.
[He cuts out without waiting for a response.]
