She thought I was something from a horror book and knocked a gun to my face when I went in to wake her up.

[ but lord help them all, he's smiling about it. ]

Which is her version of a warm welcome, really.

[ but you know what, that reminds him. ]

I gotta ask. I know I wasn't there for it but, you guys are friends. You - work together but it's more than that. She cares a lot, it's obvious you do too.

[ a frown, a tilt of his head. ]

Why aren't you on a first name basis?

[Don't worry, he has to squash down a smile himself. It's rude to find humor in the fact Miss Carter clocked him on the head because of a horror novel, lets be honest. Still, he's a butler, and a professional. No outright laughing at you.]

The warmest.

[A pause.]

... It is, yes. She's... [A moment to think.] She's one of my dearest friends. Her and Mr... Mr. Stark [ah, it still brings up anxieties-], they're a very short list these days. I don't know; I don't suppose we need to be on a first name basis, to be close. It's simply a part of our day to day routine.

[edwinjarvis]

And Edwin usually reminds me of when I was a child.

[Ana calls him by his first name, and it feels right, but everyone else... not so much.]

I've simply gotten used to being Jarvis, I suppose.

... I guess the young future Mr. Stark got used to it, too.

[uprightness]

Oh yeah. You know he has a sticker reading, 'Jarvis is my co piliot'.

[ honestly, tony stark. for all their differences, steve is fond of the man. friends who have fallen apart but friends, still. he has no doubt they'll meet again at some point along the line. ]

But Tony has a way with names. Used to call me Capsicle.

[ so dry. ]

[He's so humbled and warmed by the first part of that, he nearly misses that last bit.]

That's — Why, that's — !

His manners need some work! Surely I had butlered better than that. I'll need to keep that in mind when he's... um. Born.

[Lord, what a world.]

[edwinjarvis]

... Strange, to know I'm... well.

A... robot... in a later life. Of some variety, I suppose.

[uprightness]

I think they call him a form of artificial intelligence. it's better than a robot. I'm not sure I can explain the differences.

[ but it's better. ]

You know, without him, we'd have lost a rather serious battle. He helped save the world.

[ be proud, Jarvis. ]

[edwinjarvis]

[He does look a bit appeased by that. Truly, the concept of being a predecessor to a... 'artificial intelligence' in some way is a bit daunting. He's never met Tony, but he wonders if he'd left a decent enough impression on the man growing up, to warrant something named after him.]

I do regret not meeting him while he was aboard the fleet. It... I can't understand it much, either, but if he helped in such a way, I suppose I can't be too concerned about having inspired him.

[He smiles a bit.]

... Did you know there was a Mr. Barton from another universe?

He told me I was the Avenger's butler. Funny, that.
