So question. Have you ever wondered about the future outside of Luceti?
[...] Well actually that isn't the real question. I'm sure we've all thought about that at least once. Let me rephrase: do you think you'll do the same things other people said you'll do?
Like if someone said you were going to hike up a large mountain when you go back, do you really think you'll do that just as they say? Or that you will get back, change your mind for whatever reason, and go about doing something else. That your [...] destiny, I guess is a word for it, is undecided. [Even if he doesn't like how the word destiny sounds. It sounds concrete and unbendable.]
It's a weird question I know. I'm a little tipsy and feeling thoughtful so indulge me in this. [Ok that is actual a lie. He hasn't actually had a drink in the last 48 hours amazingly. He's been too riled up and not wanting to even touch the liquor cabinent. But not like anyone can know that so long as he's writing and not talking. He's not having a single drop until he gets this mess sorted out.]
[And, after that, he'll write up two filters. One for each person he wants to have some words with.]
Filtered to Steve Rogers; 100%
Hey Steve it's Howard. Are you at the apartment? I need to talk with you in person.
[Steve first. Because Steve is an honest guy and Howard knows he wouldn't lie if cornered. He'll arrange to meet with the next person later in the day.]
Filtered to Pepper Potts; 100%
Pepper, can I see you tonight?
[And it has to be tonight. He won't keep putting it off. Steve will be honest, but Pepper is the one who will likely have his answers.]
