Due (first, Tony Stark. Later, the Imaginauts and others.)

Alexa had been attempting to take it easy following her caffinated adventures with the Tiki Freaks. It wasn't all that difficult, really, especially since Remi had finally opened up with the l-bomb and she decided to take full advantage of it by spending extra time with him, even joining him in his tank--which had the interesting side effect of making the baby kick her harder and be generally more belligerent inside her. Alexa wondered exactly how much of the Atlantean genes were going to end up expressed in the baby, just like she wondered if the world was really ready for an Atlantean Stark. Remi's sister, Kassi, seemed to think so. Remi seemed horrified by the idea a little. The only person who hadn't weighed in was the original Stark himself.

Alexa hadn't really talked to him since they argued after rescuing Remi from cross dimensional insanity. She hadn't really seen him since her return from coffee hell and she realized that she needed to change that, even if to just stop in and notify him that she was fine. Her mother had asked her to do at least that.

So mid-morning on a Tuesday Alexa shuffled her overly pregnant self to Tony's office.

"Bzuh?" was his response to that greeting. It took him a moment to pick up on the question being asked.

"Birthing... wait. Alexa's having the baby? Right now?" His voice got tighter toward the end. He might have squeaked the 'now' portion.

"Correct," Tony answered brusquely. "Now is also the time I need to know where to take her."

After a beat, he continued. "And where you will be meeting us."

Because he would.

Or else.

"Holy fuck. She's going to have my baby." He waved off the woman taking orders and went straight out of the restaurant. Which was harder than thought when the world started spinning. He may have bent the door frame trying to get out in a hurry.

"St. Vincent's. Her OB doctor is at St. Vincents. I have to pick up the bag at Pier 4. I'll get there as fast as I can. Provided buildings stop getting in my way." He needed to breathe. Instead his should took a chunk off the corner of a building as he made too tight of a turn ten feet up.

Tony fought valiantly not to facepalm at the sound of impact. Alexa would want an explanation and he figured that was best left for later. He shook his head thought and took a calming breath. Zen thoughts. Think Zen thoughts.

"St. Vincent's," he called up to the driver and waited for the nod of understanding before he turned his attention back to Alexa and his phone call. "Remi's getting your bag from Pier 4 and will meet us there."

Into the phone, he said. "Remi, get there in one piece."

Because Tony sure as hell didn't want to take his place and he definitely didn't want to have to be the one to try and explain where Remi was if he didn't make it.
