Tony was not exactly surprised at Claire's reaction and subsequent offer, she showed no real interest in helping his projects. Nor did he blame her for it. He had done much the same and worse. His body occasionally still ached for the type of sweet oblivion she offered, but one simple truth kept him from going back.
Tony shook his head with a smile. "I don't need that type of comfort. I have days like today, but I am not afraid of dying."
He laughed. "I may be insane though. You know what made me sober up?"
He paused in sufficiently dramatic fashion. "I got bored. I realized that I will never be content to sit and watch, even if the world is ending. If something is going to happen, I'm going to be in the middle of the damn thing."
