The thing about the Stark house is that it looks perfectly normal unless you are paying attention.
Perfectly normal houses are not covered in quite so many discreet cameras. Nor do they have pressure sensors under the driveway to record where guests choose to park. (Jarvis is already learning Cal's favourite spots in the loop.)

He ruffles Sherlock's hair again—almost kisses his forehead, but remembers in time—and laughs all the way up the stairs.
no subject
"Better get on that, then."
He will let Sherlock lead the way. Because, you know, it's Sherlock's house.
no subject
If there's an extra spark of mischief in his eye as he leads Cal to the kitchen, surely it is just sibling rivalry.
(Get on what, after all?)
no subject
Obviously.
Cal is not looking closely enough to see extra sparks of mischief, thanks very much.
no subject
The kitchen is spotless. It is very much Sherlock's territory. But there is a very friendly kitchen table, suitable for eating pizza at.
no subject
He's going to need to come to terms with the truths about the Stark household in bits and pieces to be able to accept this one. For now, it's incredibly easy for him to overlook.
That table looks convenient! Cal will take a seat.
no subject
"When do we expect the pizza?" he asks thin air.

"That's convenient," Cal remarks. "Half the time on the phone, they forget to tell you."
And when that happens, he usually forgets to ask.

Cal is mostly addressing Sherlock, but also sort of including Jarvis. If only because Jarvis was the last - uh, conversational participant to say actual words.
no subject
He can tell from long experience that Jarvis is laughing with him, although there is of course no outward indication.

Cal was thinking more along the lines of glitchy software. Or - something. Everything he knows about actual AIs comes from the movies, and he is pretty sure that (for example) Jarvis is not out to kill them all.
Probably.

"Okay," he acknowledges. "I meant more like the, uh, coding screwing up or something."

. . . that is not a piece of information Cal had possessed before.
no subject
Oh.
Well.
Sherlock quietly recalculates, and decides that yes, he can let this slip. It's too verifiable to sustain a lie. If Cal figures something out... well, Sherlock has no desire to stand in the way of Cal figuring things out.
"Tony started work on Jarvis when he was eleven," he says, quite casually. "He's received some upgrades since then, of course. Grown up a little, you might say."
no subject
Obviously, Cal knows that Tony, and Sherlock, are very smart, and he's long since noticed that Tony does a lot of stuff with engineering and computers and things. But he's used to being around people who are smarter than him, so he hadn't given it a lot of thought.
- he's thinking about it now.
no subject
He raises his eyebrows.
