[She's got this thing figured out. Well, except for the video. But, hey audio works. She taps at it experimentally.]

Hopefully, this is transmitting.

[And then, carefully, she clears her throat.]

I have no idea what I was expecting when I walked out those door when I arrived, but it certainly wasn't running for my life.

[Margaret pauses thoughtfully, just long enough to where there's silence on the line.]  

All I want right now is a very stiff drink. I assume someone has recommendations.

There seems to be a tavern on every corner around here. What you really need to know is what taverns to avoid. If there's a surly looking redhead woman behind the bar, just turn around and walk right out the door. Unless you like your drinks poisoned.

[He speaks from experience. And like that woman isn't also his roommate.]

You're welcome. I'm taking my life in my hands just telling you that, by the way.

...Well, or she won't make knishes for dinner and our roommates will kill me.

[Tony lets out an easy laugh, undermining his seemingly grim warning.]

It is. One of them literally turns into a green rage monster in our universe.

[He laughs again, but his voice is serious as he adds...]

Nat, the redhead, isn't someone to cross though, so that warning does stay. She's a fairly good bartender, but I wouldn't trust her with your secrets if I were you.

[Tony's not very good at it either. Hence why Natasha had been hired to spy on him in the first place.]

She does make a mean martini if you like them. Well, what passes for a martini here--the olives are just off.

So you were in the Army then?

[Shit. Then she might have heard of him. And not in the best light.]

I'm guessing you've heard of me, then? Tony Stark. I assure you that most of the rumors are true.

[It was better to get it out in the open instead of dancing around the issue.]

...South Korea? So, you're stationed in the DMZ?

[He's completely forgotten about the time shenanigans this place is fond of.]

Or maybe Okinawa? I know Rhodey used to vacation up to Seoul whenever he got leave there.

[... Tony is silent for a time before he laughs dryly.]

Yeah, that would help. Considering the Korean War's been over for about 50 years for me.

[Tony laughs softly.]

Well, if you want to know anything about the future, I'm your man. Well, about one specific future--there seem to be an infinite number of parallel Earths. The math is fascinating.

[Tony laughs wryly, giving a nod.]

That's a far healthier idea than the denial most people wallow in for a few weeks. Have a drink or two today, complain about the things you'll miss from your world, and then start accepting that this place is real.


It's not going anywhere, after all. And you probably aren't either.
