Ah, home sweet home of  California. After yesterday's traumatic events Quentin was more than happy to be back home in the mansion. Tony had definitally done some redecorating and not to mention the damage from the birthday party was still present but Quentin's room was unscratched. Apart from the absence of his door but you know whatever. It was good to be home.

Tony did him the favor of driving him to the hellicarrier last night so that they could pick up Quentin's car and stuff. "Stay out of trouble." Fury had told him. "I will." Beck promised. Thank God his car was fine. He examined that puppy and he couldn't find a scratch or dent so that calmed his anxiety a tad. Fury seemed like a nice guy and on the way back Stark asked him a zillion questions like; 'Did they treat you well?' 'Did you enjoy your time there?' 'Was it a better stay than here?' And tons of others.

The public and government had finally got off of Tony's ass too. In fact him and Rhodey were back in Washington right now to get rewards. Speaking of, Tony was no longer dying either. On the car ride back to Malibu Tony had told him about how he invented a new element. Quentin was of course taken aback by this information but Stark explained.

Fury gave him Howard's unfinished work and he managed to complete it. Now with the new element, Vibranium, replacing Palladium, Tony was better than ever. No more crossword like patterns on his body. No more weakness and no more dying. So where was Quentin now?

Well the young man was in the living room with a tabletop set of tools to try and repair his broken tech pad. The Washington D.C. news on the tv in front so he could watch the reward ceremony. Justin Hammer had been arrested for hiring Ivan, who was the one who hacked into the drones and Rhodey's armor last night. Same old same old, evil rich CEO. Thank God Tony wasn't evil. They'd be doomed.

"It is my honor.. to be here today,"

Quentin glanced over at the tv. It was starting so he uncrossed his legs and sat up. Placing his work in progress pad on the table and fidgeting with his screwdriver. "To present these distinguished awards to Lieutenant Coloanal James Rhodes.. and Mr. Tony Stark," There we go.

"Who is.. of course, a national treasure." He rolled his eyes at that sarcastic remark because hey, Tony was being rewarded whether he liked it or not. The crowd on the live cheered as they were given small little ribbon pins. Tony you did it again.
