Hearing Theo's words made all of the playfulness in him suddenly and without warning die momentarily. His head whipped into Theo's direction and he snapped "yeah. And I'm not the one sulking around, now am I? You're not the one who was born to two crack addicts who spent the first three years of his life completely disadvantaged, are you?" he spat with all the vitriol he could muster. Most of what he said came from a place of hurt.

"You're not the only one with a troubled youth, you know." Theo raised up his arms, showing the series of scars that ran across them. "You're not the one who can barely walk, spent three months in a coma, had two brain haemorrhages, had to have a metal plate put in their skull, and needs to wear a pacemaker." Theo takes a seat at the bar in a huff. "I'll talk to you when you learn to act your age." He scowls, his words dripping with distaste. It was obvious that a nerve had been struck.

She had ordered a drink, something called a Long Island Iced Tea, but it definitely tasted good. She hummed, sipping quietly as she listened to the others argue.

"Interesting." She mused.

Azumi and her son, Ren, returned to the bar. They were both astonished to see Theo back. Azumi, in particular, ran towards him and sobbed.

"I-i'm sorry... I couldn't do anything!", She cried. Ren stood there awkwardly, unable to decide what to do or say.

Theo hugged Azumi. "It's okay. Shade fixed it, so it never happened."

"And I'll talk to you when you aren't a self-important asshat. That means this is the last time we speak. To hell you, Theo" Drew said flatly. He said it devoid of any connection or emotion as if he were giving a stranger a set of directions. He left.

"What a jerk."

The doctor let out an exasperated sigh seeing Theo and Andrew's interaction. "There is a reason your colleague acts in that fashion. As he said, his parents smoked crack cocaine throughout his mother's pregnancy. I assume they were heavy users because it's obvious he suffered from substance abuse detoxification at a young age and that likely accounts for the zany behavior and how he was able to flip his demeanor the way he did" he spoke as he took a sip of his scotch.

"Colleague is a rather strong word. I just met the guy, so I wouldn't consider him a colleague of mine. Besides, I prefer to work alone since the Avengers haven't been returning my calls."

"Avengers?" he perked a brow and shifted his glasses

"Superhero team that my dad was a key member of." Theo answered as he opened a can of diet ginger ale and poured it into a glass for himself. "'Earth's Mightiest Heroes', and so forth. They officially disbanded after the second battle with Thanos, and I've been trying to contact the members who aren't retired or dead to see if they want to get the band back together. I feel it's what my dad would have wanted, with me having inherited his role as the superhero Iron Man."

he wasn't going to be involved in the drama partially due to not caring and partially due to not having any desire to knock some common sense into someone by sending them through a few walls thus he kept reading his book

"Humans, am I right?"

"mhm" still not interested

"I'm a little disappointed that this bar doesn't serve any Energon beverages. But I guess it's okay, since those high-calorie distilled malt drinks always go to my hips."

"they do you grab a cup tap the side then say what you want i brew my own tea taste better that way"

"Fascinating. Thank you for informing me about this, Shade."

"you dug my depressing ass out of rubble least i can do"

"I'm just happy that we're all back to normal."

he snorks there was no such thing as normal for him...well maybe the hell did he know
