Tony writes a guidebook about how to become a companion in four steps, I have seriously missed Capalry if you can't tell, and Clara catches up with Rose. If you find yourself gaining cavities or getting rotten teeth after reading the utter fluff in this chapter, please forward all dental bills to my private messages. I predict I'll get many.
P.S., enjoy the grid.
And enjoy the interlude!

Step 1: Make sure you get along with the current companions.
"You know," Tony scratched the back of his head, looking at his watch on his other wrist. "For Time Lords, they don't return that quickly."
"Is that even the accurate time?" Pietro raised an eyebrow.
"Depends," Tony raised an eyebrow. "Is Skaro on London time?" Clara snickered as Pietro huffed. "It still lets me know we've been waiting here eight minutes."
"I can't imagine that's the longest someone's ever waited for them to return," Wanda mused.
Tony snorted loudly. "The first time the Doctor brought J back to Earth after their adventures, he told her she'd been gone twelve hours. She was gone twelve months."
"I remember that!" Clara laughed. "I've heard so much about Skye, and that seems to be a highlight of the stories."
"Her slapping the Doctor?" Tony grinned. "Yeah, I wish I could've seen that." His smile faded slightly. "Actually, I wish I could've met that Doctor. Of all the Doctors she's been with, he's the only one none of us Avengers met."
"Really?" Pietro asked curiously. "I don't think we ever knew that."
"Well, that was way before you two made it on our radar," Tony waved it off. "But that was when Jessie was working with Agent's team more than the Avengers. Once she stuck with the Doctor more, she leaned more towards Avengers work."
Wanda lowered her head. "You've really known all four of you, haven't you?"
"Well, you've met all four, too," Tony frowned.
"Met them, yes," Wanda nodded. "But we never knew her first two like you did."
Tony sighed. "Well, I can't really say I knew her Aussie self well."
"You knew her well enough that she gave you her confession dial," Pietro said quietly.
Tony scoffed, looking out at the ruins of the city. "Yeah, I still can't believe she did that."
"As much as I hate saying it, Missy had a point," Clara said. "You knew her before she was the Bad Wolf."
"Saleen," Tony listed off on his fingers. "Jemma. Fitz. Coulson. Steve. Nat."
