[Tony had finally handed over the suit he was modifying for her, and though Pepper wasn't certain that meant it was actually ready, she decided to take it out for a test run - more accurately, a test flight

audio;

You're not. It's been a somewhat troubling sight.

[notbuiltforthis]

Do you have any idea of what it may be?

[onewithideals]

Many ideas, but the universe is full of surprises.

[notbuiltforthis]

[And most of them? Unpleasant and unwanted.]

That's very true.

[The alert from JARVIS when Pepper takes her new suit out for a test run has Tony scrambling to finish up some of the adjustments he was making to the Mark VII, and not too long later he's flying out over the city to meet up with her. No way he's missing her first flight, even though it's probably going to be a lot less exciting than his first test flight in the suit.

With JARVIS's help he finds her on a rooftop and lands gracefully behind her, flipping his faceplate up and smiling.] Fancy seeing you here. You come here often?

[notbuiltforthis]

[If he says that she'll point out that her first flight was trying to keep the Hulk from destroying the Venetian District.

She flips up her own faceplate and gives him a wink.]

I might be coming more often now.

[ironfail]

[Shhh that doesn't count, that was kind of a emergency situation dealio.]

Sounds like a plan I can get behind. How's everything working out for you?

[notbuiltforthis]

JARVIS says everything is performing well, and it feels like everything is working.

No, you're not.

[ The voice came from behind her, and if she were to turn around, she would find a... rather normal-looking teenager floating in the air a few feet away. He wasn't wearing anything special, and the only thing that really stuck out was the spiky hair. But he was floating. Effortlessly. With his arms crossed as he looked up himself. ]

... Has this happened before?

[notbuiltforthis]

[Well, how about that. She keeps her faceplate down for the moment, causing her voice to be slightly distorted as she responds.]

Not while I've been here.

[perfectscores]

[ The distorted voice didn't phase him. He'd heard much worse. He's more appreciating the fact that the ki he sensed flying around wasn't hostile. ]

How long have you been here? For me, it's been a bit over a month.

[notbuiltforthis]

[Yes, she isn't about to attack anyone without it being the last resort.]

Almost five months.

[JARVIS is telling her the exact length of time down to the minute, but she won't bother passing the information on. Plus, she's curious about something else at the moment.]

How are you hovering?

[variableweapons]

audio

... I suppose that's not a common occurrence then.

[ Which, granted, X kind of figured that. But he feels more comfortable knowing that he's not the only one a bit worried about it. ]

[notbuiltforthis]

As far as I know. It is odd, isn't it?

[variableweapons]

Yeah. And somewhat worrying.

... If I saw something like this over Megalopolis, I would be pretty concerned.

[notbuiltforthis]

Megalopolis?

[That can't be a real city, right?]

action;

[ WHY ARE ALL THE PEOPLE ON HIS ROOFTOPS--Desmond is sitting on the rooftop, and looks over at her. His hood is drawn up again. Look, it's that assassin dude you met once. ]

Probably not. I'm guessing you don't have any ideas as to what it is.

[notbuiltforthis]

[Oh, this guy. He does like roofs, doesn't he?]

No. You?

[milesawayfrom]

[ He stalks people from them. ]

In one word? Trouble.

[notbuiltforthis]

Causing or preventing?
