Enter, man of iron [OPEN]
“Nnnng.. No.. No don’t touch the wine!”
”.. Well. That was an upsetting dream.”
What had been even more upsetting, however, was the fact that Tony was not met by the comfort of his bed once he had awoken. No mechanical, British voice to wish him a good morning. No Pepper Potts cleavage beside him as an early day motivation. Instead it was all just.. green. Either he must have gotten incredibly drunk yesterday or someone had abducted him from his building… Quite honestly the prior seemed much more likely than the latter. Stark industries was Nigh impenetrable and the only ones who COULD penetrate it wouldn’t kidnap him. They’d just kill him outright.
Slowly Tony staggered onto his feet. His eyes took a moment to adjust to the sunlight weighing down upon him. Just where on earth was he? It certainly wasn’t New York, that much was certain. No loudmouths swearing at each other or sirens blaring every which way. In fact… Where was all the civilization? There was nothing but grass and trees as far as the eye could see. The situation grew more and more confusing by the second. Maybe he was still dreaming and didn’t realize it.. No that was a stupid conclusion to reach. Of course he was awake. Only one thing to do now.
A simple thought was all it took. The nano machines integrated into Tony’s body reacted upon his command, shedding him of his night time clothing and replacing it with something else entirely.
“All systems appear to be functional. Link to Stark Industries database established.. Talk to me, Jarvis.”
“Good morning sir. I take it you’ve landed yourself in yet another of your post-inebriation situations. Ms. Potts has already begun questioning your whereabouts. Oh dear.”
“Oh dear? That ‘Oh dear’ sounded out of place. She didn’t call Fury, did she? I swear, if she called Fury-“
“No sir. It isn’t Ms. Potts. It’s your location. Or rather, I am incapable of pinpointing your location.”
The last sentence completely changed the atmosphere around him. Jarvis, incapable of pinpointing his location? Jarvis could find a needle in a haystack all the way in the north pole if need be, how was he ‘incapable of pinpointing his location’? The only logical explanation would be that he wasn’t on ear-… Oh boy.
“Jarvis. Tell Pepper to hold a press conference. Tell her to say that I’ve gone on vacation to a space station or something. I’ve landed myself into quite the predicament.”
