the main thing to know about tony stark is that he’s always flirting with someone but usually it’s death. occasionally he takes a break and flirts with women/his coworkers/his alter ego/government officials/villains. but usually it’s death.
Tony Stark spotting a beautiful woman at a Gala and chatting her up. She smiles and lets him flirt. After some time she tells him that he's quite the trickster.
Confused, he asks what she means, but she only winks and she tosses him a napkin she wrote on - he assumes it's her number.
He looks down and on the napkin there are only dates, dates that he immediately recognises:
His first overdose.
The attack on the convey.
Obediah's attack.
The fall from the wormhole.
His heart surgery.
Those are his death dates. As he looks up the woman is gone and only leaves a full glass of champagne and a name tag: Rio Vidal.
