-before sirens on the 6th-

Hi. [Why look, Siren's Port, this is one very annoyed person on your NV's today. All bruised and bumped and covered in grass stains. The norm of those who just fell through the sky. Again.] I'm Tony Stark. And for those of you who may not have noticed, we've been blatantly kidnapped. I've been told this is, uh, not something new, here? That some people have been living in the magical land of Stockholm Syndrome for years without actually realizing just how bad it is?

[His bullshit meter just hit so high it practically punched a hole through the stratosphere, guys]

I need three things. First, the nearest Starbucks and not whatever coffee equivalent Canada's pushing out. I will practically marry you if you can supply me with a coffee IV drip right now. Second, access to a computer for three days straight. And it cannot be some crappy brick from 1997 that still thinks Internet Explorer is too advanced to run up to speed. Third: information on any and all major businesses that have even the slightest interest in technology advancement.

[He reaches up a hand to rub two fingers against his temple, a headache more than just coming on.] Get to it, Port. And remember: Coffee. First.

[Okay, monogamy is overrated when so many people have coffee just waiting for him.

But ah the catches. He's getting progressively more suspicious of those.]

... Yeah, not gonna answer that until you tell me why it matters.

[Brace chin on hand. Siiiiiip coffee.]

Because this is an alternate holding dimension that has no care for time or space. There are multiple dimensions out there and in mine? There's a Tony Stark.

Hence, what's the last thing you remember?

[That is cruel and unusual punishment, Jubilee. Drinking something so beautiful while he just looks on almost mournfully.

Fine. He'll play.]

Playing clean up after Manhattan got leveled by an alien invasion.

Alternate holding dimension?

[No one's said she's the nicest.]

Mmm I've done that. Next question: Do you know the name Charles Xavier? Warren Worthington?

[A one shoulder shrug.]

Think more... pocket holding dimension at a juncture where most times and most places cross in the multiverse.

[That gets an eyebrow quirking up. He's gonna have to hear that story eventually.]

Right. No and no; any reasons I should?

[Oookay that other eyebrow is joining its twin. Because what?]

Let's focus on multiverse first.

[Sigh.]

Well, if you were the Tony from my world, then yes. Obviously, you aren't, so no big deal.

[Head cock.]

Multiverse. Okay, I don't understand the physics of it, but, basically, every decision makes a new universe, right? Especially big ones. Meaning that there are different versions of, well, everyone, out there. Some have different histories, some have different genders, but, it's all able to be traced back to one core decision before it branches off.

This place draws from all those different universes and different times within those universes. It's kinda like a bubble that draws people in, and sometimes randomly kicks them out.

[She's so bad at explaining this stuff.]

Uh huh, well. Doesn't mean I'm not curious. They some hot shots on the other side of the looking glass, then?

[Hey, he's heard worse explanations for things. Usually from himself.

But... multiverse, got it. Bruce offered the name of the theorem he knows loosely of, and Magneto sent him math that he's still more than happy about, so that side of things is at least sort of believable.

It's the bubble bit that has him making a face.]

It... kicks people out.
