[The screen of their communicators flickers to life with a fluorescent glow. Initially, there's only a hint of someone there-- thick red fabric, chain mail, a hammer.]

I had prayed to come to good tidings. Greet friends, and assuage fears. To bolster thy strength with mine own.

Instead, I come here haunted by past misgivings I thought requited, by a name all too familiar to me. If you know him as well, I would like to speak to him.

[It doesn't sound like a request. The image swings up high to a broad faced man with long blonde hair. A winged helmet. His eyebrows are drawn down across a brow rigid as though it were carved from stone.]

To my friend.

I am well, little one. How fare thee?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Aw, I'm good. I just got here too, so I'm still kinda finding my footing, y'know?

Who're you looking for? If I run into them, I can tell 'em to give you a call.

If what I hear is true, t'would be best if thee did not seek him out, but I seek Tony Stark.

thank you for giving me an excuse to use this icon

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Tony's here?! Oh man!

... Wait, wait, that doesn't sound good. What did he do?

it is an excellent icon

[ifhebeworthy]

He violated the trust of these people, deformed their bodies with unnatural power and told them it wast for the greater good. That they wast imperfect as they are.

[He shakes his head.]

I hope that I am wrong.

whoops, sorry, finger slipped while I was in the wrong account!

[ in the sort of frustrated, 'we've talked about this, Billy' tone that you'd use on a misbehaving kid: ]

Rrgh, Tonyyyyyyyy.

[ifhebeworthy]

I fear I am too quick to anger, and though he has transgressed before, I need to hear from him first lest my retribution be too swift.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Yeah, good call. I mean, this could all be a big misunderstanding, right?
