I guess I'm a little late to the party, but I thought I'd present a mini-challenge for you guys!

I always wanted to do a Steve/Tony round robin, a story where different authors take turns writing.

To participate: just reply whatever the last person wrote with something of your own. Try to keep with the continuity of the story so far, but feel free to add in twists as you please.

Length can be from one sentence to a few paragraphs.

You can participate as many times as you like, just be sure to let someone else have a turn before you make another addition.

If anyone at any point decides to end the fic, it's their responsibility to post one line or more to start off the next one so people can continue participating.

I'll tentatively set the end date for one week from now February 26th but if it turns out people want to keep going, then I'll extend it.

Here's my bit to start things off:

Winding up, Kershaw let loose a pitch that was well over 90 mph, striking out the Diamondback at the plate to win the game for the Dodgers. The crowd cheered distantly over the TV as the announcers went on to talk about what a big win it was.

None of that mattered because Steve was watching the clock. Seconds ticked by inordinately slowly, somehow stretching well beyond their allotted time. At last the minute hand clicked over to the four. Only twenty-five more minutes to go, give or take.
