Loss (Open)
Annie pulled herself out of slumber, expecting there to be a snarky older gentleman next to her. She'd been staying with him in the rather small apartment, going out into the strange world only a little bit. Mostly she was content to sit and work, or talk to the suit. She was also worried about running into the people that Tony had warned her of. It seemed smarter to stay inside, really.

When she woke in her own bed, in her own apartment above Fixit, she actually felt a little bit of disappointment. She hadn't been happy to be in a world with very little tech, or one that wasn't the City, but she'd found in Tony somebody who she felt a new kind of connection with. She had felt something similar in Fred, but in a much different way.

Of course, she did immediately climb into the shower and stay in it until the water was getting cold, and used up a lot of her favorite shower gel, just because it was actually there. Following that, she might have overindulged some on the snacks in her cupboard that the City provided for her, as well as some soda and ice cream.

Post these events, Annie made her way out into the streets, where she was greeted with the noise of city living. Technology all around her. Cars on the streets. Buildings that didn't look like they'd been next to an explosion. A wall that was there to keep them from falling off of a space-island instead of keeping bad things out.

She did miss the suit already, though.

Really, she was torn. Tech and food and cleanliness VS Tony and the suit. She wondered if she should try to find Dean, or Charlie. Or Fred. Or Megan. She wondered if anybody else had made the trip she had, or if she was the only one. Had they missed her, if so?

Not sure what to do, Annie stood in front of the shop, staring at the sky.

"Regular time." Annie admitted. "Almost didn't graduate at all. School and I weren't close friends."

She had to think about the answer to his second question a moment, she'd never really had it come up, the reason why.

"I suppose when your whole world has gone through a civil war, nobody cares so much if you know why you do what you do, or if you know why you do it, or how things would work if you didn't do it. Just that you can do it. How they can use that to their advantage. Maybe if I were in some other time, where there were heroes and not weapons, it would have made more of a difference."

"That's not unusual," Tony said. School had meant very little to him. His father had taught him what basics he needed to know and after that he was primarily self taught. School was someplace he was sent to be out of the way of the Stark patriarch.

He shrugged a shoulder. "True." Civil war. Not an idea that appealed to the genius, who despite being more than happy to step into a fray was still dealing with the guilt of having his company be responsible for so many weapons being given to the wrong sort of people; those that wanted to create a world like the one this girl came from. Or worse. Iron Man, and the other projects Tony started now, were all about stopping the fighting. Even if he had to do it himself. Then, finally, he might get to give the world as much peace as he'd prevented. "I should probably mention. Weapons aren't going to fly here, we're not that sort of company anymore. Make things that are useful for building society. Or fun. Here or back on Earth, I'm not going to be starting any more wars."
