[The feed opens to Tony's form from about the waist up. His sleeves are rolled up and his left arm is covered in burns that look to be about a week old. He's holding a strange device about eight inches long. It's encased entirely in a shell and seems to have a small domed sensor on top.]

I just wanted to say, if you start seeing these around, it's not a tiny alien invasion, they're sensors. I'm setting them around key locations in the hopes of finding a way to predict these event things. In light of the most recent catastrophe, I think it's only a reasonable step towards surviving something like that again. There has to be something preceding these things, right? Like a low-pressure system before a storm. We get a warning, sure. Sometimes, anyway? Maybe, if we can figure out what causes them or where they're coming from, we can delay or stop them?

[It's... all he's got, okay? He hates feeling like he isn't in control and he hates that people die because of it, even more.]

I'm... [He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, the beginnings of a sleepless headache coming on.] officially out of retirement. Hold the "I told you so"s. You know who you are.

you have a robot soldier down on the fourth floor.

[Look, Alex thought it was a rat or something and he panicked.]

Oh, come on! I just put that up.

It's fine. It's fixable. At least you didn't detonate the power core. We'd have lost the fourth floor, then.

[Okay look. You crush one of his sensors, he can be a troll.]

hey don't blame me some jerk hit it with a baseball bat

[He's not taking any responsibility here all right.]

Did you get the license plate number of that baseball bat? I think we can charge them with reckless endangerment.

[Who's blaming? He's just having fun, now. If people didn't break his stuff, he would run out of things to fix.]

yeah i called the wonderland pd and everything
should let you know though someone was talking about setting up some camera surveillance systems too

Hey, sounds like a plan to me. Who's the Deputy in town? I must've missed that announcement.

happened during the zombie incident
some redhead
natasha i think

Oh, you met my wife? Wait, which Natasha? I'm only married to one of them.

what.

i mean
she
red hair
kicked ass
gave me a knife thing??

Yeah, that
that doesn't narrow it down.

They're both super hot, too.

The newer one or the one that's been here a while?

buddy i don't know
there were zombies
i just now learned that there are fucking two of them
does this place clone people now too???

That was one of the least pleasant events I've been through. I'm gonna take a hard pass on the next zombie invasion, thanks.

Well, I guess you could always ask next time you see her. You'll either get punched in the face or get confirmation. Or both. You never know with my sweet strawberry angel of ninja death.

Nah, nothing that crazy. They're actually the same person from different universes.

oh i see
nothing as crazy as cloning
because different universes is so much easier to digest
how do you tell them apart

See, I knew someone else agreed with me. It makes much more sense.

Easiest way tell them apart is the little spider tattoo my angel has on her
well
I guess that's something you'll have trouble looking for if you catch my drift.

classy
well ONE of them recommended getting some kind of surveillance system up
i got no clue which

Okay, I think I should probably apologise for that one. There are no rated x tatts. They're similar, but they have different personalities. It's just something you pick up on when you're around someone.

I'll ask. Thanks.

cool

this place has already got its weird mirror doppelganger deal
so you know theres like four of them in all
god thats gonna get confusing

I did not need that image in my head right now. Two of them is plenty.

hey you put the image in my head first pal

Yeah, I know. My bad.

So, either way, you met one of the Romanoffs. You'll probably meet the other eventually. If she's taking you under her spider web, then you'll probably be seeing me around quite a bit. My condolences.

i've dealt with worse
she did talk about hooking me up with some tech buddies
guessing you'd be one of them

Oh, she called me a buddy? I'm flattered!

Yeah, I'm one of them. Tech is my thing, and I'm apparently back in the crime fighting biz. Apparently my teammates can't seem to get along without me.

i know the feeling

[No you don't you big liar.]

talk to you later i guess
