“I don’t really do anything for any of them anymore, so my calendar’s free whenever you are.”
As the CEO of Stark Industries, attending holiday parties had been expected of him. He didn’t always go, of course, but sometimes he did. To the Christmas party, to the company picnic for a few hours in the summer. When he remembered and he had absolutely nothing to do – and wanted to get laid – he went. But now that Pepper’s the CEO, putting in appearances is her job, not his.
He can stay home and hang out in his workshop. He can fly around the world or put on the suit and save someone in need. Tony’s opportunities are endless, and since he doesn’t put much value in holidays, he doesn’t feel like he’s missing out when one goes by unmarked.
“You’ll be able to go this year, right? To your Independence Day thing?” A Hammer Industries company party isn’t any place for him and he knows it. “You want me to get Steve to put in an appearance? It’s his birthday, I’m sure he’d be happy to go to a party.”
