Comment on The One Where Scott is Tony's Weakness

    “I want you to know that I appreciate your cooperation,” Fisk told Tony when they were done for the day. “You have made things easier for both of us, and this has not gone unnoticed.” Fisk tapped on the workshop door, and one of the black-clad men entered with a large bundle of boxes.
    When Fisk and Sato were gone, Tony and Scott examined the gift to find extra blankets, some fresh fruit, coffee and a pot to brew it in, and a couple of games. Tony went immediately for the coffee, opening the tin and inhaling.
    “Oh darling, I’ve missed you,” he breathed, before his eyes fell on the games. Scott clocked the wry smile on his face as he lifted a backgammon set. “Do you know how to play?”
    OH NO YOU DON'T MR OPERANT CONDITIONING
    also, Tony and his darling coffee XDD

    when Tony let out a terrified whimper
    THIS
    the terrified whimper <333

    “A piece,” Fisk continued. “That you knew would raise alarms? That would be tracked wherever it was taken?” The man was shouting now, his voice filling the workshop and making Scott wince.
    ooh SMART I love that way of alerting someone :))))

    Now, he couldn’t do anything as he watched Tony bargain—no, beg—for his daughter’s life.
    THIS
    Somehow, Tony begging for another man's daughter's life is like...maybe even more tender than begging for Morgan's, or someone more directly close to him. This matters to him because she matters to Scott, she's his daughter, and that's all that matters to Tony <33333

    Tony’s eyes were darting from Cassie to Scott, then he seemed to make a decision. He tapped his chest, and the nanites retreated into a glowing triangle on his chest. He tugged it off and placed it in Cassie’s hands, the teenager’s eyes going wide as she realized what she was holding.
    Tony looked back at Sato. “Take me.”
    AND
    THIS
    Oh my goodness, this. A very Tony move, making the sacrifice play even when it was supposed to be someone else, but I didn't totally see it coming. Looking between Scott and Cassie and he CAN'T let these two be torn apart in front of him, her father be killed, when he can do something. So he taps the housing unit, and hands it to Cassie. Something about Tony Stark voluntarily disarming himself to protect someone else (but make himself more vulnerable) is just <33333

      HAHA Operant conditioning. I am kidnapped and forced to build something, I must play backgammon

      I am 100% the same when it comes to coffee

      Gosh this is an old one and I think I've very much improved since I wrote this, but I do still enjoy dad-Tony seeing a child about to lose their father and doing absolutely anything to stop that from happening

        Operant conditioning, my sworn archenemy. Potentially second only to Classical Conditioning.
