Not even sunrise, Wednesday morning

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was an obnoxiously perky morning person, even when (like tonight. He'd fallen into a Wikipedia hole) he hadn't slept for more than a few hours.

He stretched his legs out at the bottom of one of the endless sets of stairs in Fandom, singing (badly) under his breath: "First to fight for the right, and to build the nation's might...and the Army goes rolling along--"

He grinned over at his partner. "Ready?"

[OOC: For the guy who can fly so he doesn't have to run, probably, but open to anyone else up at an ungodly time to run!]

"You're doing great," Steve said with his bright, beaming smile, and then took off at a full sprint because he was a super-enhanced super ass.

Tony was going to end up designing a treadmill to see if Steve could break it. He really was.

"Coming jogging with me, Tony," he muttered to himself, weakly waving at Steve's rapidly disappearing form. "It'll be fun, Tony."

This was some straight up bullshit.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve caught back up another twenty minutes later. "On your left," he called out politely.

[imafuturist]

"Seriously?" Tony called after him. "We're the only people out here! And superheoes!"

He didn't need to be warned about that. At all.

And was now sweatier than he ever wanted to be. Fuck. Running.

[heroic_jawline]

"Didn't want to run up your heels!" Steve called back, waving.

Jackass.

[imafuturist]

Huge jackass. Huge, tangle shaped jackass.

"I know where you sleep, Rogers!"

[heroic_jawline]

"You're doing great, Stark! Halfway done now!"

Shut up, Steve.

[imafuturist]

"It's also torture!" Tony snapped. Because yes. Shut up, Steve.

And he was still trudging along. Maybe attempting to pick up the pace a little to not be completely behind. You would think he'd know better than to try to keep up with any version of Steve Rogers. But nooooo.

[heroic_jawline]

"Builds character!" Steve yelled back before disappearing around a corner.

[imafuturist]

Which was when Tony gave him the finger.

"Builds character," he mimicked. "I build him some character."

It didn't make sense, but in his defense... he was tired and surly. Not his best for wit.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve caught back up another twenty minutes later. "On your left!"

You're going to get tripped, Rogers, and have no one to blame but yourself.

[imafuturist]

"I swear to god, Rogers!" Really, you were just giving him time to stew. And plan.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve waved over his head. "Almost breakfast time!"

[imafuturist]

Tony bared his teeth and tried really hard to catch up to him. "I'm telling JARVIS to only play death metal to wake you up now!"

JARVIS would do no such thing.

[heroic_jawline]

"Sounds real bracing," Steve said, heading towards the Perk.

[imafuturist]

Once it became clear that coffee was in his future, Tony hobbled a little faster. He was just going to be walking like an old man until the Extremis took care of this. Which was always fun.

"You'll like it," Tony lied through his teeth. "Really your type."

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, I'm sure," Steve agreed easily. "I've been enjoying catching up on music. Gangster rap kind of confuses me, though."

Oh, Steve, no.

[imafuturist]

"Which is so strange since you're the OG," Tony said, using nearby buildings to stay upright. His legs felt wobbly, okay? This was new and terrible.

[heroic_jawline]

"The what?" Steve repeated, frowning.

[imafuturist]

"Original gangster," Tony replied dryly. "So, if the original American gangster could get me half that pastry case and a coffee while I collapse on a table, that'd be great."

[heroic_jawline]

"Coming right up," Steve said. "Anything in the coffee other than more coffee?"

[imafuturist]

"If the barista tries to trick you into a latte, I'm turning villain."

[heroic_jawline]

"So that's a definite no to the green tea, then," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"World domination," Tony replied. "I will conquer the planet and hoard all the coffee."

[heroic_jawline]

"And that would be terrible," Steve agreed. "Massive coffee and all the carbs coming right up."
