Summary
Just a drabble more or less loosely inspired by the movie "Nimona". Seriously, this movie was so good, and I just had this idea that popped up in my head, so here we are.
Bucky just recently broke out of Hydra's conditioning and is in hiding when he is found by none other than 16 year old Iron Man, villain extraordinaire! Or so SHIELD says. He personally likes it better when people refer to him as a vigilante. But hey! It doesn't matter.

Thanks to the pain, it took Stephen’s brain a few seconds to get a handle on what was looking back at him.

Summary
"Stephen was experiencing the pleasure of waking up and having a lazy morning with his husband once again. He was ecstatic, Stephen was not so happy since he got the message from Tony a few weeks ago.
Now, seeing the lovely smile on Tony's pink lips, Stephen felt that the smile on his own face would be practically permanent at the rate that followed, but he honestly didn't care at all. The happiness was so great that his dark thoughts were simply overshadowed at that moment. "After finally reuniting, Tony and Stephen now have some challenges to overcome before they can be at peace.

How Not To Destroy The Timeline, A Guide By Tony And Stephen Strange by TsukichiiCh 2
Interesting, we learn that their ages changed outside of well, the obvious
In their OG timeline Tony was older than Stephen by 5 years. In this timeline, Stephen is older than Tony by 2 yearsTf? Author decided to ignore what they decided in the first fic (that Tony and Stephen were married for almost 30 years) and instead they were married for almost 20 years
Mind you this does feel like it makes more sense considering we now know they met when Tony was 25 and Stephen was 20
As he died when he was 57, and idk almost 30 years imo is implications of 28-29 yearsHuh? Who does Morgan consider her mom?
Welp we shall never find out as this is abandoned
Okay according to the comments Tony is mommy? I just eh. Don't get me wrong I don't mind it being used for Tony as in iron mom or mama bear, but yeah no I don't feel right with his kids calling him that way? I'm fine with that in fics where even if he's male, he carried them. But in this kind of world I very much don't see it happening, especially considering the fact Peter calls Tony dad in the first part of the series, where the author said that they see it as the kids calling Tony mommy, and in this part Peter calls him mommyAnyways in this it would be even creepier, I dunno how old Morgan is nor Harley, but here Peter is 6 when Tony is 15
And just. Uh. That's gonna be a mere 9 year difference my dudes

Why you should not mess with the timeline, a guide by Tony Stark by Tsukichii

Summary
Then, as he closed his eyes and let the white unconsciousness and the heat take over his battered body, he just went with the flow.
Tony was ok to die for the universe.
What he did not see were the six sparkles of the jewels of infinity in his hand, shining brighter than the white of his snap of fingers.
By contrast, Tony should know better than to mess with the timeline as they had without expecting any consequence.Or in which Tony did not sign up for it and hates being fifteen years old again. At least he has Stephen with him, even though Stephen was a thousand percent more protective than before. It's not his fault he's dead, okay? At least Thanos is dead this time.

Why you should not mess with the timeline, a guide by Tony Stark by TsukichiiImportant to note, if I understood correctly, in here the canon is slightly different. Stephen and Tony were married for 30 years before he died, so well before Sorcerer Stephen or Iron Man Tony
Although I've got no clue where the fuck Morgan came from then, unless either a. They adopted her before the snap/had someone carry her for them or b. Tony decided to adopt her during the 5 years, something I've seen done before in a ficHmmm.. okay so like. I saw that this has the Iron Man: Armored Adventures, which if I recall correctly has Tony as Iron Man when he's a teen. But like I didn't really register it y'know?
But now he's waking up in the past where form the summary I understood he's 15, and feels a pain in the chest, aka probably the arc reactor?
Curious if it's just an alternated universe for him too, or if Teen Iron Man was a thing for him in the first place
Regardless, I quickly checked and even if it's somewhat based on Iron Man: Armored Adventures, it doesn't follow the same canon. Howard dies in the plane crash that leads to Tony becoming Iron Man
Got my answer though, this Iron Man: Armored Adventures timeline was very much not canon for this Tony, but also confirmation that this fic doesn't follow exactly that timeline (in this timeline he was still kidnapped but from MIT, that didn't happen in the canon for Armored Adventures) but also that there's more changes to the MCU timeline, unless the author just made mistakes which is possible.
But that's my thoughts because they wrote Stark International instead of Stark Industries which yeah could be because English ain't their first language. But the other thing is that here, both in his OG timeline and this new one, he was kidnapped for 6 months instead of the 3 of the MCU timelineHuh interesting, Pepper and Rhodney aren't teens, but the same age they would have been according to his OG timeline
It's not horrible, but I'm adding not the best because yeah the errors are distracting.
I think what bothers me the most is them using he/she when it is supposed to be there, or the opposite way around it when there should be he/she
Well no the wrong words, or the incorrect version of words also annoy me, but I think what I mentioned above bothered me more because the author wrote it for JARVIS, and she for a goddamn shirt. J deserves better than that
Curious what the their native language is for them to mix stones and jewels
Glad they got a beta for ch 3 but there's still some mistakes

God, Tony needed a coffee. He wanted one so badly. And for a short moment he imagined smelling the heavenly liquid, which wouldn’t have been unusual, because—students. But he dismissed the smell as a result of his tired imagination and tried to get his bearings together before the class started.

Coffee, Energy Drinks and a Date by Descaladumidera-
Tony cleared his throat. No response. He tried it again. But again, no response. Coffee-guy would get it! Tony wanted this cup so badly, he would perform a striptease right in front of the whole lecture hall if it would mean he would get to drink the whole thing in one go!And so he opened his mouth, hell-bent on telling Coffee-guy to share the life-saving liquid right now or else—but then the guy moved, bending down to retrieve something from his bag. Tony snapped his mouth shut and waited, watching with bated breath. What if the guy had another cup in there? What if he wanted to share with Tony? What if—
But no. All the guy got out was an—an energy drink? Tony’s eyebrows shot up. Indeed, there was a can of Monster Energy in the guy’s hand. Lethargically, close to slow-motion, the can was cracked open, and with an empty look in his eyes, the guy poured the whole content into his cup of coffee. Then he turned to Tony, eyes still empty, like something had sucked the soul out of his body, cup now in hand, can discarded, and said, “I’m going to die”, before he downed the whole thing in one go.
Tony could hear himself let out a strangled noise, mourning the loss of a perfectly fine coffee. His brain worked overtime for a few seconds, trying to find a way to get said coffee back, before he registered the words spoken by Coffee-guy, and he let out a humourless laugh. “Yeah, no wonder if you mix coffee with an energy drink. Your body will hate you.”
“I’m on a 72-hour-study-binge right now, I won’t have you judge me,” the guy replied drily, before turning away again.
And Tony understood, because he wasn’t any better, because he did this himself at least once a month. But still. The coffee! How could this guy do this to the poor coffee? No, Tony couldn’t let this slide, so he started again, “you know, you butchered a perfectly fine coffee, right? I wanted to pay you good money to give it to me, but now it’s too late and I’m suffering. You owe me a coffee now.” Yes, he knew that the guy—he really needed to get to know his name—wasn’t at fault for not giving him the coffee, but Tony was devastated. And tired. Oh god, was he tired.
Coffee-guy snorted. “Excuse you? I owe you shit. Who are you even? I have never seen you in this class before,” he said, turning back to Tony. This guy had a serious turning problem if you asked Tony.
--
Wait. Neuroscience? “Wait. Neuroscience?” Tony echoed his own thoughts, not being able to hide his confusion.“Uh … yes? This is a neuroscience class, usually taken by people to prepare for med school.”
--
The guy blinked at him. And laughed. An eye-crinkling, belly-deep laugh. Tony was at a loss. “Stark, this is a neuroscience class, believe me. It has been in this hall at this time for the whole semester! I think your class moved to a different hall as this one is obviously in use during this time of the day. And now skedaddle or you will be late.”Tony didn’t lose a second, before he retorted, “wow, mocking me now, huh? You are a terrible host to a guest in your class, Coffee-guy!”
“Coffee-guy?” Now the guy seemed to get his bearings, not missing a beat in replying. He even smirked. “That’s what you are calling me? Not very creative, don’t you think?”
“Well, you had coffee and I was—scratch that—I am tired. Sue me. Or wait, don’t. You’d lose.” This back and forth made Tony grin and woke up his senses and body. This guy seemed to be able to match him with every word and Tony liked it. “So, mysterious Coffee-guy, will you tell me your name?”
“Sure.” He cocked his head and propped one arm on the table, leaning his head on his hand. “As you were so nice to introduce yourself: I’m Stephen Strange. And if you make fun of my name, let me tell you that I can render you motionless with one right touch to your neck.”
“Kinky,” Tony said and wiggled his eyebrows, that grin never leaving his face. He wondered briefly if he should risk making some stupid joke about Stephen’s name, but he thought it not worth it. He didn’t intend to end up on the floor, not being able to move, for the rest of the morning.
Stephen only snorted. “You have weird kinks.”
--
He got an amused look in return. But before he could take his leave, Stephen spoke up again, “now, you can’t tease me with discussing kinks and then just leave without offering an opportunity to do so. Are you free this afternoon? I heard I owe you a coffee.”And then Stephen had the audacity to wink at him. That bastard just winked at him, could you believe it! Tony’s grin widened. “It’s a date, Stranger!” He couldn’t stop himself. He needed to get out one little jab, sue him!
“Watch it, Stank!”

The Edge of Us by paintedcrayon-
“Since when could you cook anyway?”Tony glared over at him, “Since always thank you very much.”
Stephen held his hands up in surrender, “all you ever eat is takeout.”
“Yeah well-” Tony began before cutting himself off, “okay fair point, but I can cook and I’m going to prove it to you, prepare to have your life changed.”
“That’s a lot of talk from someone who I’ve literally seen pick food off the floor to eat.”
“Ten second rule,” Tony shrugged completely unembarrassed, “you’re the one who fills his body with literal garbage.”
“I do not!” Stephen gasped out in indignation.
“Do too, don’t act as though I haven’t seen your sneaky McDonald’s trips so you can cut it with all that ‘my body is a temple nonsense.”
Stephen felt his cheeks heat, “In fairness, I didn’t think you knew about that,” he replied to which Tony practically beamed.
-Fuck off Rogers

Love, Anthony by montrealJust feels iffy. Tony seems to have left Rogers without letting him know anything an hour before the wedding. And listen I hate Rogers, but so far it seems like he wasn't a piece of shit in this fic so like that's messed up?
I get it, he loves Stephen more. That's understandable, it happens. People can't control who they love and how much.
On the other hand, Tony could have handled it in a better way. Because I hate Rogers yet even I feel bad for him here.
.....
Wow. That's even worse. According to the comments, Peter, a fucking 9 year old, had to tell someone that was basically his step father for several years, that his dad isn't getting married to him.
This is honestly disgusting

There is no name for this coffee shop. In a fit of caffeine-induced anxiety and rage, Tony has decided, “Fuck this, it’s just going to be called ‘The Coffee Shop.’ What the fuck else do you need to know?”
Tony decides that SI can survive without him, but a late-night coffee shop needs to be opened. Tony also does not shut up about being a small business owner.

The Coffee Shop by lovelyirony-
“You’re supposed to take over a company.”“And?” Tony says. “I was also supposed to keep my parents but they died in a car accident.”
“Okay, bad move to use your dead parents against me, you know that.”
“I think, actually, that I just made a great move,” Tony answers. “Because now you can’t feel bad about my choice.”
“Well, I can feel bad about your decision, you’re majoring in business,” Rhodey says. “You’ve taken all of those classes when you were four.”
“Yeah, which means I can get the major done in a semester if the dean signs off on it and my parents can’t say no because they’re…you know.”
“Tony.”
“Come on, I’m not going to die.”
--
Pepper visits the shop before it opens.“Tony, what the hell.” There are no matching mugs. Or plates. Nothing is matching. The machine looks like a goddamn Dr. Frankenstein project. “What have you been doing?”
“Being a small, independent business owner?” Tony answers, bending over the sink. “Whoever put these pipes in was a total loser, by the way. How was work today?”
“Fucking awful,” Pepper says. “But also great. My PA is quitting in two weeks to go get married.”
“Ugh, just hire Rhodey.”
“You think he’d quit being in the military?”
“I mean we’ve been lectured that you never stop being army or whatever the hell he phrased it as,” Tony says. “But maybe if you bribed some government official, you might get an honorable discharge for him.”
“Done.”
And she does. That’s the odd thing. Pepper actually does get it done--well, she convinces Rhodey to be her PA.
“I am sick of top secret missions and the brass being on my ass all the time,” Rhodey says. “Now I get to pick up coffee and lunch and work for the real equivalent of Miranda Priestly.”
“Miranda Priestly was a bitch,” Tony says.
“And?” Rhodey says. “You don’t become a top CEO and well-known name in an industry without being a bitch. Just look at your dad. Massive bitch. At least Pepper respects and is nice to me.”
--
“Tony.”“Janet Van Dyne-Pym.”
“Okay, I did not last-name you,” she says, perching her sunglasses on top of her head. “I thought you said once the shop was steady you’d ask him out!”
“I definitely did say that,” Tony says, wringing his hands. “But I also told myself I’d ask him out after we roomed together freshman year. And after he dated Carol. And then when he became Pepper’s PA. I have said I’d ask him out on dates a lot, Janet.
And almost none of it has ended up happening. Also, I have no clue if he likes people romantically other than women!” Tony says. “I think he still has a thing for Carol. Who wouldn’t have a thing for Carol? Maybe I should set them up. I’ll ask Carol, she’ll definitely say yes. It’s Rhodey. They didn’t even end things that badly, she just signed up for NASA, so maybe--oh shit, maybe not--”
“Tony,” Jan says, putting a hand over his. “Calm down. Also, Carol’s bi. Which Rhodey could also be, if you asked him. And she’s married. I think her wife has a kid.”
“Wait, we didn’t go?”
“Well, like you said, she signed up for NASA when they broke up.”
“Shit. I could’ve given them a great wedding gift.”
--
So he asks her over a video chat as he’s closing the shop. Pepper looks at him flatly. “Tony. I run the company named after you. Of course I know.”“Okay, well the company wasn’t named after me, my dad didn’t even like me enough to remember my birthday.”
“God, I’m so glad he’s dead. Have you been going to therapy for that?”
“It is tough being a small business owner," he deflects. "Trying to get decaf beans has been worse than whatever trauma I have."
“You can’t keep using that as an excuse, Tones,” Pepper says, exasperated. She looks at him fondly through the camera lens.
“Watch me,” he says, sticking his tongue out. She doesn’t catch it as she yawns, turning her head.
--
“You’re the best,” Tony says with a grin. “Come on, Bruce’ll have your drink ready in a bit. Did you know he has a PhD in physics and in some kind of math? Oh, he also studied gamma radiation for a bit for the government and it didn’t go well. Technically, I think he has a warrant out for his arrest, but I’m a small business owner so I take what employees I can get.”“Wait, Dr. Banner?” Rhodey asks, eyes bugging out of his skull. “The Dr. Banner who has seven PhD’s?! And General Ross hates?”
“I don’t know who the hell Ross is, but yeah. I think he has seven. I told him to go for eight, but he says I don’t pay him enough for that. As if I can afford more, I am a small business owner.”

Three's Company by lovelyirony-
About three months later, Tony comes back from a meeting, strange look on his face.“Rhodey, did you know about bisexuality?”
“Considering I’m dating one, yes,” Rhodey says.
Tony stills.
“You’re dating someone?” he asks. “Who? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Rhodey snorts.
“Tony, you are adorable. You, honey. I’m dating you.”
“We’re dating?”
“Considering you always kiss me and hold my hand and call me nicknames and you’ve met my family? Yeah, we’ve been dating.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I figured you’d figure it out. You also told me not to talk about it for five years. So I wasn’t gonna push my luck.”
--
Virginia Potts is not exactly sure why Natasha asked her how she felt about chaos.“Why?”
“You’re about to meet it in human form.”
She did not think that the guy in the hoodie with a bouquet of flowers on front and the guy next to him in a plain white t-shirt were chaos.
At least, that’s until the guy in the hoodie flings a grape across the cafeteria and lands it in someone else’s drink.
“I’m playing God,” he announces. He zeroes in on Pepper. “Goodness, you look like a goddess.”
Pepper stills.
“You’re always like this, huh?”
“He is,” the guy in the white t-shirt announces. “I’m Rhodey. That’s Tony.”
“I am literally never going to call you Virginia, I think it’s stupid that you were named after a state.”
“It’s a family name.”
“Even worse!” Tony says brightly.
“He doesn’t mean that,” Rhodey says hurriedly.
“No, he’s definitely right,” Virginia says. “I hate it. I just don’t wanna go by Ginny because then everyone asks if I like Harry Potter.”
“Struggles,” Rhodey nods. “I understand. My dad wanted me to go by Jim. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to be eighty right now.”
Tony snorts.
“Sit down for now. We shall figure out your nickname in time.”
They figure out the nickname ten minutes later when Pepper is trying to shake some pepper and salt into her soup and the lid to the pepper shaker falls off and dumps the whole container into her soup.
“Pepper,” Tony decides. “It’s Pepper.”
“No.”
“It is kinda catchy,” Nat admits.
Pepper it is.

Everyone knows that Tony would die for Rhodey. It’s as easy to see as green grass or a blue sky. He would burn everything down for Rhodey.
Something that others don’t catch onto is how willing Rhodey is to do the exact same. Rhodey doesn’t often tell people his side of the story of how the two met.

Eye of Newt and a Ten Dollar Mop by lovelyirony—
-Tony can’t fucking fly on a fucking mop.
-One broken arm later and a phone call to his mother later, Maria Carbonell is sitting on her son’s dormitory mattress and wondering just why the hell he lied to her about how he broke his arm.
Here was her son’s lie:
“Um. I broke my arm because dinner sucked.”
A.) There was no follow up.
B.) Her son is as bad at lying as she is.
Unfortunately, she did not announce her arrival, and so she gets Tony’s roommate opening the door and screaming that the liquor is in the second cabinet from the left.
Maria raises one eyebrow.
“Did Tony at least pick out good wine?”
“Uh...you’re Tony’s mom?”
“Yes.”
“I didn’t think you were coming to visit until move-out.”
“I...we had an interesting conversation. You wouldn’t happen to know why Tony actually broke his arm, would you?”
“Um...no.”
(Rhodey is also a bad liar.)
-
Tony gets home about ten minutes later and promptly says:
“Oh fuck.”
“Is that any way to greet your mother?” Mom asks, already sipping delicately on her glass of water.
“Um...move-out isn’t for another month.”
“I know. But you lied to your dear mother.”
“How did you know?”
“You can never hide anything from your mom, and your excuse needed work, honey,” Maria answers. “So. How did you break your arm?”
Tony sighs.
“Promise me you won’t laugh. And don’t tell Jarvis.”
“What did you....what?”
-
The mop.
Maria doesn’t laugh at first, at least until she sees the pictures that Rhodey took and chuckles.
“You promised me you wouldn’t laugh!”
“What were you doing? And why?” she asks, laughing. Tony rubs the back of his neck nervously.
“Um, well...funny story...”

Maria should have known that her son would have her...abilities. But she had hoped that if he had never known the family, had never known what she could do, that maybe...maybe they wouldn’t come.
“So what you’re telling me,” Tony says, nostrils flaring, “is that there’s magic?”
“Yes,” Maria says. “And what we deal with specifically is good magic.”
“Oh, so I could’ve put Glinda the Good Witch on my family tree project,” Tony says sarcastically.
Maria scowls.
“Don’t sass me, Tony. I did it for your own good.”
“I set a car on fire!”
“Well, what kind of car was it?!”
“A Mustang!”
“Then that makes sense!” Maria says. “Your father drove one, and we all know how that turned out!”
Tony blinks for a moment.
And then laughs.
Maria starts laughing too, until they’re both giggling in the apartment, and Tony tells her about the grocery store incident.
——
“I was already wreaking havoc when I was eight,” Tony whines. “But, this also raises the question of when are we doing a family reunion?”She stops, looking at him.
“They weren’t exactly pleased when I married a millionaire.”
“Not even when he became a billionaire and you got half his fortune?” Tony teases.
“Not even then,” she answers. “I have a...complicated relationship with magic.”
“As in, you don’t use it.”
“Correct,” she answers. “You don’t need magic in your life, and quite often, it gets you in more trouble than you anticipate.”
“Are you going to give me a ‘magic has consequences’ speech?”
Maria laughs.
“No. Magic, as far as I know, doesn’t really have consequences. The actions you do have consequences. You could blast up an entire country and as long as you don’t get caught, no consequences other than what you do to yourself.”
“Like having guilt?”
“Like having guilt. But enough about that, it’ll make you feel weird for a week if you keep thinking about it. I want you to light candles from two feet away.”
“Of course I can do that,” Tony scoffs.
“Sure you can.”
-
Tony also sets the curtains on fire!
-
Maria realizes that her son is perhaps just a tad (okay, a lot) more powerful than she was (and is).
So, she regrettably calls her mother.
——
Tony groans.“Sure, Nonna. I will come.”
“BRING FRIENDS. HAVE GIFTS FROM POPE FOR YOU.”
“You...when did you have time to get gifts...the pope?”
“HAVE FRIENDS. COME!”

I Wish I Could Forget You by lovelyirony-
“Can we, uh, table this conversation? For later. Espresso and all that, plus the added bonus of our shared history, so…”“Shared history?”
“You don’t remember?” Tony asks.
Bucky shakes his head.
“Ah. Then this is truly a comedy of errors. Maybe. Um. Listen, I, uh…I gotta go. You need to talk to Nat or Steve or hell, maybe even Thor. Is Thor a good option?”
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Barnes, I can’t exactly face you right now.”
And then he jumps off a balcony. A fucking balcony. Jesus H. Christ, his therapist is gonna be so excited for their next session.
The suit wraps itself around him, and he can finally breathe, and he’s thinking about calling Pepper and see if she would like to schedule him a vacation for maybe anywhere but New York and Iowa.
“Why not Iowa?” Pepper asks. “They have good antique stores. I’ve gotten quite a few good finds for clothes.”
“I can do shopping retail literally anywhere else, absolutely not.”
“Spoilsport. Steve know you’re leaving?”
“I didn’t even really tell Steve what happened with my parents.”
“Oh, your therapist called. She sounded concerned, but also intrigued.”
“It’s because Sally almost became an employee of NASA and still has a soft spot for aerodynamics.”
“What exactly did you do when faced with Barnes?”
“Check the front tabloid page tomorrow, just tell everyone I’m out of town.”
--
He’s sitting in the house for a week, has already called Sally once and explained how his suit works, and then listened to her talk about how “his reliance on the suit to help him escape unfavorable situations is not exactly the healthiest but also none of my clients have had to face someone who is of weird standing.”
--
“He remembered you,” Steve says. “What he did.”“Ah, there’s that.”
“He doesn’t have to be here,” Natasha says. “I have a couple of SHIELD safe houses to choose from.”
“None would be adequate to house something like me,” comes the response. Barnes looks remarkably shitty, as if he hasn’t slept in eighty years. And maybe he hasn’t. “Jail would be more fitting.”
Tony rolls his eyes. “You are literally the most dramatic person ever, and Bruce threatened to take over the government because Thor ate the last croissant. Put those on the grocery list, Steve.
“We’re not gonna throw you in jail,” he continues on. “Not because you happened to be used as a goddamned Swiss army knife. I have issues, sure, but I’m not going to be going all Hannibal Lecter or whatever.”
“Who the hell is that?”
“Cannibal. I realized that that’s a terrible comparison, please forgive me.”
“Why a cannibal?”
“Couldn’t think of anything else but Anthony Hopkins, the actor. My mistake. Point is, we’re gonna have to go through some channels, and I’m introducing you to BARF, as well as a new person who’s gonna rock your world.”
“I’m pretty much well-acquainted with vomit.”
“No, not that,” Tony says. “Although we can cover that through my 2005 edition of partying if we really wanna dig up some old magazine interviews. No, I’m introducing you to something that’s going to change your life.”
--
After that, Tony doesn’t have much to do with Bucky’s life. He serves as a permanent guilt trip, nothing says “well, shit” much like being a permanent guilt trip. Sally tells him that they should talk it out. Do all that “and how do you feel?” questioning that makes his skin crawl and his eyes ascend to the ceiling.
--
“Hey,” Bucky says. “Um, can we talk?”Shit. He’s been avoiding this, officially, for a month. Potentially more if you’re going to count a few choice events that have been brought up by his psyche.
“Sure thing, buttercup. What are we talking about. Economy, world crises, the great debate on financial advice?”
“Isn’t the third thing just the economy?”
“We can break it down over coffee.”
“Mm, maybe another time. No, I’m talking about us. About how I–I kind of ruined your life.”
Tony blinks. “You didn’t ruin my life. If my life was ruined you’d be hit with so many lawsuits that I could make the rest of your life look like the third circle of Hell, or wherever it is that people go nowadays in Dante’s eyes. No, you didn’t ruin my life.”
“I still killed your parents.”
“If you hadn’t, someone else would’ve. Believe me, there were about fifteen others in line. Sometimes, myself included.”
