Skye, Coulson

Alvin ignored Stark's teasing. He walked over to the dining table, sat down, and decided to continue his lunch.

Stark, left standing there, came over in a huff, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and said, "A life without curiosity isn't a complete life..."

Alvin took a big bite of his sandwich and waved away Stark's nonsense. Then he smiled and said, "There's no point exploring a mystery when you already know your curiosity will be satisfied.

Who exactly would dare cause trouble for Stark Industries?

While I'm still CEO, I'll go chop them
