[Tony Stark is sitting in front of a computer in City Solutions. He's wearing a short sleeved pull over shirt that clearly shows the arc reactor in his chest. He's got glasses on and his fingers are flying across a keyboard. He's clearly concentrating on what he is doing which appears to be filling a screen up with lines of code. After a moment he

Tidy code.

[Hardison points at his screen, trying to play it cool.]

Uh you uh-- might wanna fix that delimiter. Maybe. Unless I'm supposed to be able to get in through a back door. I mean in your defense, I am very good at this.

[idmakeitaweek]

Good catch.

[He quickly fixes the mistake then looks back at Hardison on the screen]

He's far from finished. Just up and running. By the time I finish with him, you come in his back door he'll escort you out the front door.

⌈That's assuming you have a front door by then, Sir ⌋

Hush or I'll put you on mute.

⌈As you wish, Sir⌋

[ageoftheg33k]

I know.

[Have we mentioned the daddy issues yet? Here they are.]

Hey, I'll be happy to help you make sure no one is touching anything you don't want touched. Even if Jarvis whoops my ass for it.

[idmakeitaweek]

That would depend on how good you are. So was it a lucky catch or do you really know what you're talking about?

[Have a very shocked face in the video screen.]

Tony? When did you get back?

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

A couple of days ago.

[He studies the face on the screen very carefully, narrowing his eyes at it before finally sitting back.]

Nope. I don't remember you.

[Or anything about his time here]

Sorry.

[lady_wandering]

You- that can't...

[The entire feed cuts off for a few minutes. When it comes back on, Romana has a VERY CONTROLLED expression on her face.]

My apologies, Mr. Stark. I... knew you during a previous visit. I see you've accessed your systems at City Solutions without problem.

[idmakeitaweek]

[Ouch. He's upset her. He's seen that look often enough but there's not much to be done about that. He doesn't remember her]

Yes. Although I don't know that it's mine anymore. It was fairly easy to get into the systems.

[soulofocean]

Wow. So that's Jarvis? You sure work fast!

[idmakeitaweek]

It took me a long time to program him the first time. I've torn his code apart so much that I think I could write it in my sleep now.

Besides, I've been up for two days.

[soulofocean]

...Most people would spend two years at it and end up with not even half as that!

I... don't know the first thing about programming, sure. But my best friend's picked that as her future career.

[idmakeitaweek]

The first time it did take me years. Now it's...something I do in my free time.

[Which is sort of a lie. Work is work with Tony and free time involves scantily clad women and to much scotch]

What sort of programming?

[ihasfeather]

Color me impressed.

[idmakeitaweek]

He's still very bare bones. I've got a lot to add to him.

[It makes Tony feel better having Jarvis around]

[ihasfeather]

Bones are better than dust.

[idmakeitaweek]

Very true.

[letxequalnull]

Quite impressive.

[idmakeitaweek]

Thank you.

Tony Stark.

[letxequalnull]

Xemnas.

[idmakeitaweek]

Good to meet you.
