"Forget the hearse cause I'll never die,
I got nine lives,
Cat's eyes,
Abusin' every one of them and runnin' wild,
Cause I'm back"

You've failed to reach Tony Stark. Wonderland's mouthiest engineer is either out or dodging your call. Leave a message and I'll see what I can do. If it's urgent, Rogers or Banner know where to find me.

Are you looking for any new projects?

I just finished a project for the witchy kid. You got something for me?

You mean Billy?

And how do you feel about a Stark-brand waterproof MP3 player?

That's the one.

A what? I mean, I can do it, yeah. Is it for you?

What did you make for him?

Wait a second. Did I just know about some piece of technology that you didn't?

Set up his next movie night. You're going, right? You can't say no. It's a classic. A staple in American movie culture. You're going. You'll love it. I think you grew up with them. It'll be great.

No. I was just shocked you did. I would've had to walk next door and smack you with a pillow or something if you'd asked me for a Stark-brand waterproof 'Walkman'. Shunned for the duration of our stint in Wonderland.

Grew up with what?

[ He's going to regret asking that, he just knows it. ]

Come on, Stark. Walkmans are in that weird place where they were invented while I was in the ice but they're already obsolete now. MP3 player it is.

And yes, it's for me.

Dinosaurs. Pretty sure you grew up with them in your back yard or something, Steve-a-saurus Rex.

[Yep.]

Oh, right. Vinyl was probably your thing.

So, do you have something to interface to it to actually load songs onto it or...?

I can build you a wireless database for it. Easy sync an storage. This could be fun.

Oh, definitely. I had a pet triceratops that I rode to school every day. It was great.

[ A movie classic with dinosaurs in it? Steve's guessing it's Jurassic Park, but since he hasn't had the chance to watch that one yet, he'll definitely be in attendance. ]

I was figuring I'd ask the closet for a fully loaded MP3 player and then hand it over to you to waterproof it, but if you have a better idea, go for it.

I knew it!

That wouldn't be a Stark-brand player. It'd be a Stark-modified player. Fine. If that's how you wanna do it, I'll still waterproof it. Is this for pool laps or something?

Do it however you want to do it, Tony.

[ Look, he trusts you not to make an evil AI. He's handing over creative control. ]

And yeah, I've been swimming laps more recently. Figured it would be nice to listen to some music.

What'd you have in mind for music? I'll get you started, but set up a handy database so you can change it out or add more. You missed out on some good tunes while you were napping.

[And look, he's not even going to force his music tastes on you. You don't strike him as the AC/DC type, anyway.]

Sounds like fun. Maybe there should be a pool party in the works at some point.

A mix of old and new would be good. I've gotten a lot of suggestions over the past couple years, it's kind of hard to keep track of them all.

[ Steve would have just consulted with Sam, but... well. Sam isn't here anymore.

But this isn't supposed to become serious. In fact, he thinks that both of them are doing a great job of avoiding any reference to their last conversation. ]

That sounds like a job for Darcy Lewis.

I'll see what I can do.

[He's all for non serious talk. Emotions suck. Let's not talk about it ever.]

I'll drop my favourite barista a line and suggest it.

Yeah, no rush, just let me know. On both things.
