The Forest

Tony snorted. "I was the one who had the blueprints, dumbass. You were just along for the ride," he teased.

I pause and then smirk deviously, "You know, let's start that durability test sooner..."

Feeling cocky now, Tony balanced on just the thrusters on his feet and one hand, using the other to beckon to Artisan. "Bring it."

"Let's see... you like to go full throttle like me so let's get out the big guns first..."

I reach into my bag and pull out a small ring with what looks like a crosshair protruding out of it. I stick the ring onto my wand, "This is a little something I cooked up in case I ever had to deal with overwhelming numbers a great distance away. But I'm sure you'll be able to take it." I smirk dangerously and aim it at him.

Tony mimed a yawn now. "Come on, Artypants, I'm getting bored up here. All I'm doing is floating."

"Then let's add divebombing into the ground into your repertoire Starky!" I fire off a spell with the force and speed of a sniper shot at him.

Unprepared, Tony accidentally let it hit his arm. He yelped, tumbling backwards until he managed to catch himself. Taking a long, swooping route, he eventually ended up back over Artisan. "I'm not that much of an easy target!"


((MUM'S JUST BEEN CHECKING TIMES TO SEE IRON MAN 3, AHHHH))

OOC NO SPOILERS!!!

"HEY STARK!!!" I yell up to him, "Move back and forth like one of those ducks at the carnival!!!"

I fire another shot at him.

((*Salutes* AYE AYE, CAPTAIN. NO MATTER MY EXCITEMENT, MY LIPS WILL REMAIN SEALED UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN IT.))

Tony rolled out of the way of that one, laughing. He pulled up and began to dart back and forth, like Artisan asked. "How's this?"

"Oh my god he actually did it..." I mutter to myself while dying of laughter.

"NICE!!! Now REALLY surprise me!!" I send a barrage of spells up to him.

"You want a surprise? You got one."

Grinning behind his mask, Tony cut the repulsors completely, falling into a dive. He picked up again at the last moment, sweeping along the ground, speeding towards Artisan. Laughing, he grabbed him and flew into the air again. "You worked on it too, you gotta reap the benefits, Artypants."

Having never flown before I start screaming before it turns into ruckus laughter!

"NICE ONE!!!"

((Oh my God.
I'm picturing that now.
It's genuinely one of the funniest things I've read in a while, oh my God.))

Tony laughed as well, twirling effortlessly through the air now. He was careful to keep a firm grip around Artisan, though. "Aww, you never said you screamed like a girl. Good thing JARVIS records stuff..."

"If that goes on that web of information you muggles have, I swear to god I know where you live!" I warn him jokingly.

"'Web of information'!" Tony hooted. "You crack me up, you really do. Wizards are the best."

"Yes I know i am!"

"I meant in general, but sure, you're cool." Tony chuckled again. Carefully, he began to make his way back to the ground. "Anything else we need to test?"

((Brb))

"I don't know!!" I start to turn a bit green and put a hand to my mouth.

He sniggered as he set Artisan down on his feet. Tony landed next to him lightly. "You okay, buddy?"

I hold up one finger and run behind a bush.

Seconds later he returns, wiping off his mouth, "Yes, of course, why wouldn't I be?" I ask as though nothing had happened.

Tony howled with laughter then, completely unapologetic. He leaned against the crate that had contained the suit, sniggering and snorting until he could collect himself. "Oh, man. I'd say I'm sorry, but that's priceless."

"Oh harty-har-har..." I say sarcastically. "So I had a compulsive need to run behind a bush! It happens!"

"Yeah, sure, you keep telling yourself that." Annoyed by the helmet, Tony flicked it up so he could actually see without the aid of JARVIS.

"Oh can it metal head!" I narrow my eyes in brotherly competition.

He grinned widely, spreading his hands. "You gonna make me shut up? I'm kinda enjoying myself here."
