[Handwriting is a bit messy, clearly written by a shaky hand.]

Does anyone know about any transfiguration spells that can change your sex, and if yes, anyone have any information on how to reverse said spell?

[He's been made into a girl, bear with his panicking.]

Comments

[Tony gives a slight and soft chuckle.]

You let me touch your hair, and I'm strange. This is why you get a regular barber or someone to cut your hair. Or you know, maybe Natasha? I have a feeling she's pretty accurate about things like that. She could probably do your nails too.

[greenmoonrising]

[Sighs and looks sleepier, hanging more heavily against him.]

You're strange but not that kind of strange. Besides, you touch all of me. Well, most of me. Usually. Whenever you feel like anyway. When you're not clinging to Steve like a limpet. Or Natasha.

[arrogantalloy]

[Looks down at her again as she leans more into him, blinking a little. Before glancing away, finding the words a little strange coming from Bruce's new voice.]

I... Wait, I don't touch you all of the time.

Oh, and, I don't cling to either of them, Natasha would hit me for one.

[greenmoonrising]

[Snorts, still following sleepily.]

Yes you do. And okay, you don't cling to Natasha much but you would if you could and if she were a bit older and curvier.

[arrogantalloy]

Well... At the moment, she kind of ...is older and curvier... She came to me in a sheet, she's wearing some of my bigger clothes right now.

[greenmoonrising]

Oh I'll bet you love that. [Mutters it, grumpy looking and staring down at the floor as they walk, feeling grumpy and just a bit jealous that even like this Tony was paying more attention to Natasha than at Bruce.]

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, well. My whole day has been full of girls with great legs have ended up in my arms in some way or another. But then, I wasn't really that interested in touching her.

[greenmoonrising]

You obsess over girls, somehow I doubt that. Were you more interested in looking at her new curves then?

[arrogantalloy]

She just didn't need me hitting on her at a moment like that.

[His tone is serious, because he knew that it wasn't what she needed at that time. All he could think of was being a reliable friend at the time.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Falls silent, staring stonily down at the floor as they keep walking, eyelids drooping.]

... What happens if I get stuck like this forever?

[arrogantalloy]

[He shakes his head, pulling her closer still.]

You wont. I'll fix it. I promised Steve, now I'm promising you.

[greenmoonrising]

Don't make promises you can't keep.

[Blinks blearily when she realizes they've arrived at the dorm entrance.]

[arrogantalloy]

I'm going to keep this. Really, I'm going to keep trying till it takes.

[greenmoonrising]

[Manages to solve the entrance riddle even in her addled state.]

Stark Industries have better things for you to focus on than fixing this.

[arrogantalloy]

[Helps guide her into the common room]

Yeah well, I'm only a centrepiece to them. So this is the only thing I need to focus on.

[greenmoonrising]

Ugh, you have so much more you can focus on. More interesting things at that.

[Grumbles and moves to push away from him to stumble up the stairs to their dorm, ignoring the stares from other students.]

I don't need you to treat me like a side-project just because you're sorry for me.

[arrogantalloy]

Woah, hey!

[He grabs for her as she stumbles, trying to pull her back to him.]

You're not a side project. And I'm not sorry for you.

[greenmoonrising]

I can get up the stairs on my own!

[Struggles weakly, eyes green with irritation and fatigue. Grumbles:] It's not like you're always going to be here anyway, idiot.

[arrogantalloy]

No, yeah. I'm sure you can. But I'm still going to cling to you, you've caused a warm spot and I don't want to lose it.

[While that was true, Tony was actually worried Bruce would fall, and also he was sort of reluctant to let go of her just yet. And while he had heard her mumble and glanced at her for it. Chose to pretend he hadn't heard it.]

[greenmoonrising]

You're an idiot. Go bother Natasha - I'm sure she needs more clothes to settle in with for the night.

[Grumbles the last part quietly, bracing a hand against the stairway walls so she's not completely dependant on Tony.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Adjusts his hold on her a little but still has no intention of letting go.]

She will probably just sleep in my shirt or something. Believe me, she'll deal.

[greenmoonrising]

[Huffs and tries to shake him off as she arrives at their floor, going for her bed, not caring at all about the fact that she's a girl currently in the boy's dorm.]

[arrogantalloy]

Would you stop that, I'm trying to help.

[Leads her to her bed and sits her down. Sitting down next to her.]

Sure you don't need water or something?

[greenmoonrising]

I don't need help.

[Slumps a bit as she sits down, staring down at her hands and how tiny and GIRLISH they look, ugh.]

No... I'm fine.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, and when I say that, do you ever listen?

You don't sound fine.
