Tony Stark has returned home.

( her voice is curt, and she doesn't bother hiding behind text. it's become almost second nature to her, these announcements - every few months, one of her friends teammates disappears and she is right back at square one, left cleaning up the mess. if she's being completely honest with herself, it's easier to feign annoyance than examine her feelings about the disappearances; they come up too often for her to allow herself to be emotionally compromised by them.

still, it's clear she's far from happy at the moment. )

For those who knew him.. The best I can offer is an opportunity to pick up any research or information he might have been holding for you.

( her voice is somewhat stiff. sure, she'll hand over whatever you want - but not before going through it all first. how very like tony, to disappear without even saying goodbye. )

I'll be at the bar if anyone wants to arrange to pick anything up.

There are three rooms in the house open. Feel free to move your stuff in, as long as you don't object, Banner. Rent is due first of the month. ( that's as close to an invitation as steve & maria will get from her right now. )
