        “Stop fussing,” Kris insists, Andrew waving at them from the other side of the Security barrier (the nerve, seriously).
        “I’ve only been on a commercial flight once, and that was a few security changes ago,” he responds.  It’s not like Tony hasn’t, but after the Canadian incident he’d bought a private plane that he shared with the International Slayers’ and Watchers’ Council.  It’s…okay, it’s probably nothing.  In this instance, Tony agrees that he’s probably just being a baby, but he’s not used to going anywhere without his Exoskel.  He doesn’t even always take it off in the shower.  But it’s metal, which means he has to take it off.
        “I’ve driven a lot, just…not flown,” he explains to the agent.
        There’s a ruckus behind him.  He starts to turn, and that’s when he feels something slightly out of place and cold in his back, and something warm, human, pressing close against his back.  “Greetings from the Triumverate of Keerilsh,” a voice whispers in his ear, and he coughs and looks uncomprehendingly down at his passport.  It’s spattered with blood.
        There’s a lot of people yelling, but it seems loud and confusing and far away.  He vaguely sees Andrew vault the barrier and run to his side, and he’s not sure who catches him as his legs crumble beneath him, but it all fades rather quickly.
