runsonbatteries[It felt weird to say (...or rather think) that they were drinking to celebrate the end of the mission. No one was happy blowing up another planet and all its natives, but they survived together. Maybe it helped to create a checkpoint between accepting what they had done and moving on with their respective inner cheer leading and coping mechanisms.
Drinking had always been a tried and true coping mechanism for Tony. One of numerous motivations, so he doesn't immediately have to dwell on using a substance to deal with his surroundings. Another job well done. Another space mission he survived. It was five o' clock somewhere. Statistically.
Later in the evening, he's left alone with a bottle of bourbon and Elena Gilbert, who he's currently trying to convince into coming with him to the hangar deck. He might even reach for her hand a couple times. Higher reasoning dampened by alcohol and impulses feeling so effortless and easy.]
What if I told you Sparky told me I'm leader now, and this is a mission? A very important mission.
