Thread: Tony's New Girl (Me & Novacian)

5 hours ago The bar was crowded, full of all types of people from all walks of life. M.J.'s bar they called it and it sat in mid-Manhattan where all the high rollers tended to go. Tony sat at a private booth away from all the hustle and bustle of the bar. Across from him sat a lovely blonde hair blue eyed woman, with luscious lips. Her Symmetric and naturally shaped eyebrows added a level of beauty and elegance to her face. He allowed himself to smile as he was explaining the politics of his job. Turns out killing people is bad, who knew. I'm voted one of the smartest people on the planet and I'm still slow on the uptake. But the fundamentals... Like the two plus two kinds. Does that make any sense? She let out a smirk before replying, I don't know, it's a little hard to concentrate without a drink in my hand. Tony looked over at the bar to see the flustered staff and from the looks of things the waitress wasn't stopping by anytime soon. The waitress is going to be here later do you want- She cut him off before he could finish his sentence. No. Allow me, she said as she turned toward the bar. Do you want one? she asked. Of course, that's what being an alcoholic is all about. She giggled a bit before walking off to the bar. While he watched the woman walk off to the bar his phone began to ring. He quickly answered it Tony Stark speaking. There were a few seconds of silence then static, followed by a voice. Hey Tony it's Grace and this message is pre-recorded. By the time you receive this message I will be dead. I will be killed by Extemis. The message suddenly ends. A mix of several emotions overcome the billionaire. He proceeds to get up and leave the bar and as he is leaving he is met by the woman he was with. I'm sorry, but I must go. A few moments later he had arrived at Stark tower in the penthouse he was greeted by Pepper. So Tony whats all the fuss about? He walked over toward the window to gaze upon the city before replying. You know what's the worst thing that could happen to me, Pepper? To be kidnapped and forced to make weapons for criminal scum. My talent being used to destroy lives. She walked across the room and placed her hand on his shoulder. But that's how you became Ironman. He took in a deep breath then exhaled. I was just lucky, you know people like me all we ever think about is scenarios like that. We also spoke of safety, contingencies if you will. If that were to ever happen to us... I just received a message from one of those people like me. Her name is Grace Walker and she is a genetic reprogrammer. Do you know what she can do if she were forced to make that virus? Now Tony walked over the nearby computer terminal and began typing. The screen began flashing images and documents pertaining to Grace. Jarvis I need you to find out Grace's last known location. Then his radiant AI partner spoke up, Right away Sir. Pepper watched as Tony began to work diligently. She then rolled her eyes as she walked out of the office because she knew that he wouldn't stop working until he found the girl. She looked at her watch, it read 5 A.M. She let out a long yawn before entering the elevator. Tony hadn't noticed Pepper leave as he continued to shift through Grace's research projects. Sir, I've located the last known area. A Cellular Tower located in Santos, So Paulo in Brazil. Just as he was about to suit up to head out he heard Jarvis say Sir it would appear there are signs of alien life coming through a space portal, it seems the being is female, part human and Asgardian, he continued Sir, the female is injured, I think you should check on her.Tony quickly made his way outside where he would see a young girl slumped over a piece of concrete. He made his way down into the crater, sliding down on the dirt while controlling his balance. Are you alright? he asked as he finally reached the girl.
