Sunnydale AU: redux

[americas_son]

The day after Sherlock's phone call, Cal gets up early to stop by the Stark residence as promised.

He pulls into the driveway in the car Tony gave him - the only car he drives now - and sits there for a moment after he kills the engine. He takes a slow, steadying breath, hands still on the wheel.

He willingly volunteered for this, but he's not looking forward to it.

(Behind him, a security vehicle pulls into place. Peter doesn't usually send bodyguards with Cal to the Stark residence, but this morning he's sending a message, discreet but clear, that Cal is under protection at all times.)

After a couple moments, he gets out and heads for the door.

It unlocks for him as per usual.

After Connolly reports in, complete with Mr Chandler's account of the hidden encounter with Obadiah Stane, Peter does a little multitasking, taking a moment or two to seethe over the fucking Chandler wilfulness as he runs a few cursory searches to find Sherlock.

They come up empty, but then he'd be disappointed if Sherlock had used an obvious alias.

He summons his professionalism and picks up the phone to contact Jarvis instead.
