Chapter 13
"Alright, you son of a *UNICORN*, you'd better not pick up that phone," Tony whispered angrily as he dialed the numbers carefully.
I try not to use bad language, I know how hard it can be with little ones looking over your shoulder while you write and read :D!
He stopped before he hit the call button.
He wondered if he should tell Bruce, they were friends. Friends told each other when their creepy thought to be dead father figures showed up and threatened you, right?
Tony figured he'd call the number, then decide whether to make Obidiah's threat known to the other avengers.
He pressed the button, then held the phone to his ear.
He signaled for Jarvis to record the conversation, which the AI did.
"Hello, Tony," A sickly familiar voice crept threw the speaker of the phone.
"You're dead," was the only response Tony could come up with.
"And you're stupid," was the reply.
"Hold on, no, you can't be... You're dead, this is a joke," Tony was not only trying to convince the voice, but himself as well.
"No joke, figured you should know about the ticking time bomb inside of you," Obidiah told him, his voice becoming more human every second.
"I don't need your help," Tony slammed his thumb onto the hang up button and threw the phone across the room.
His hand refused to stop shaking.
"Tony! Are you down there?!" Bruce's voice boomed from the stairwell.
"Yeah!" Tony yelled back, fighting to stay calm.
"What happened to your phone?" Bruce asked as he strolled casually down the stairs, his glasses resting on the bridge of his nose.
"Dropped it," Tony said, his voice was distant and distracted. Bruce could tell.
"Are you alright?" Bruce said, his eyes flying towards the opened email on the computer.
Tony clicked command-q and backed away from the computer.
"What was that?" Bruce demanded.
"Old email, I was going through my junk emails," Tony said, somewhat defensively.
"What's going on."
"Nothing."
"Okay," He clearly didn't buy it.
"I'll be right back," Tony cleared his throat and left the room briskly, sprinting up the stairs.
"I'll be here?" Bruce said to the empty room.
No, I can't tell him now. He'll know I lied. My best friend can't know that I was lying to him. He'd never trust me again.
He wasn't going to tell anyone.
So, what do you guys think of Tony's decision to keep quiet about Obi?
Bad? Good? Dangerous?
Should Bruce find out?
