What-- [ the device has conveniently latched on to the suit’s communication systems, transmitting James Rhodes’ reaction of discovering that he is no longer where he thought he was, live. Just another service the City provides. ]

The suit hasn’t been compromised-- Tony, whatever it is you’re doing, cut it out.

[That's Rhodey.

That is Rhodey.

And Tony's already all over his network, researching frequency, tracing Rhodey's flight patterns, and trying to figure out just how long Rhodey's been here.]

[Popping up on your screen]

Okay, rude. Who said I had anything to do with this? See the giant glass building? I've sent you the coordinates. There should be a landing pad for you in the plaza. Meet me there.

[His best friend is here. Now it's not just him and Natasha anymore- one of the few people who truly, truly knew him and liked him and stuck around with him is here, now.

His lips quirk into a smile.]

And lastly- welcome to the City, buddy.

[And since Charlie really has no idea that this is a new face to the City, she watches the silver man fly above, pretty sure it's Tony testing another suit. Except, she doesn't remember him working on another once recently, so she's just going to watch from the sidewalk in front of the store she just exited, mildly confused until she hears the voice. Nope. Definitely not Tony at all.]

Whatever you think Tony is doing, I can guarantee it's not him.

[awarmachine]

[ Sorry, Charlie, but Rhodey's got coordinates now and he's just going to fly by.

He will, however, respond. ]

Okay, what the--

How did you hear that? Am I on speaker-phone or something?

[ Is he going to have a talk with Tony about the suit transmitting stuff it's not supposed to? That's a security risk right there. ]

[char_he_mcgee]

No. You're on a pain in the ass piece of technology called 'the device' by the residents of the City you've just found yourself.

[She's smiling, despite the mildly annoyed tone she's using to tell Rhodey about the device.] Fair warning; it turns on at random. Video. Audio. And even texting. Keep your eyes on it. Also, I'm guessing that's you I just saw fly overhead in something that looks significantly similar to Tony's suits. And that probably means you're a friend of his so...hi. I'm Charlie. Also a friend of Tony's. Tell him I said hi when you see him next

[audio]

[awarmachine]

Seriously? Wonderful.

[ So, Tony's definitely been around for a while, what with people recognising the suit. Or it could just be an elaborate joke, but it's a bit too elaborate even for Tony to pull of, so he'll just have to believe her, and the guide, and Tony. For once. ]

Col. Rhodes. I'll tell him you said hi.

[shall_yield_us]

...and the tie, my love?

[awarmachine]

[ ... Okay, first of all, no one was supposed to hear that. Second of all, what? ]

What? [ Okay, moving on to full sentences now. ]

Who are you?

[shall_yield_us]

The suit's tie, darling? The one that's perfectly and competently and utterly fine - is the tie creased?

[awarmachine]

Not that kind of suit. And I'm not your darling.

So, I'll ask again. Who are you?

[valentineluke]

Friend of Mr. Stark's?

[awarmachine]

How could you tell.

[valentineluke]

Your choice of attire is rather telling.

[ 1 / 2 ]

[awarmachine]

You don't say.

So, where can I find Tony?

[whattingawhat]

Sorry, Tony didn't do this.

[awarmachine]

Yeah, so it seems.

Though I still think no one can blame me for suspecting him.

[whattingawhat]

I don't know him very well but...yes.

I'm Buffy. You're in the City.

[awarmachine]

I know him too well. [ But there's a grin in his voice now. ]

Col. James Rhodes.
