Sharon hung up the phone. She smirked softly as she walked toward the street. Her car was going to pick her up and take her back to the--But something shimmered in the air. Something strange, a weird color? And shape, and ...smell? Then Sharon wasn't in front of the building where she'd been given her job back, a full pardon, an invitation to return to the United States, back in the CIA where she belonged. No, she was in... a building. A nice building. But to go from outdoors during the day to inside at night? Had she lost time? Was she having some kind of hallucination or vivid daydream?

She stopped walking and took inventory of her surroundings. It was a nice building. Well lit, lots of glass windows. The design was modern. Fancy. Expensive. Sharon took inventory of her body. She was wearing the same clothes, holding her laptop bag, phone in hand. She didn't feel woozy, like she'd been drugged, or light-headed. She felt... normal. Just confused. In a different location than she'd been only moments before.

Confusion turning into panic, Sharon lifted the phone and glanced at it. She had full bars. She could call someone... and tell them what, exactly? She didn't even know where she was. Maybe she should figure that part out first before she started making insane-sounding phone calls.

Pocketing the phone, she turned to head down the hallway. There must be someone around who could give her some information.

The handle moved, and the door opened. As it did, Friday did a bio-scan to use as a key for entry or to auto lock the apartment.

Also outside the elevator but still close by it, Tony leaned to one side to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

He was glad he hadn't unloaded all of it on Sharon. She just got there, she was limping, and it was a lot to deal with already. He didn't want to elaborate, to tell her it wasn't just the people that disappeared that left a mark. Sometimes, it was those still there that forgot that made it worse. It happened twice with Pepper. Once years ago, and the most recent time with the divorce. She simply reset back to this universe's self, only not realizing it was an alternate universe or what they went through before. And the more he tried to overcompensate and prepare for what he knew was happening, the more it alienated her because she didn't know.

She wouldn't believe him, even if he explained it.

Standing there, he convinced himself he had this handled. Back upstairs to the penthouse, where endless lines of code and a few drinks awaited in the hopes he'd get a couple hours of sleep. Wake up. Caffeinate. Half listen to Darcy and Bruce trying to reason with him. Quip his way out of it before heading down to SHIELD's floor....

Rinse. Repeat. Ad infinitum. He was getting good at it.

"Hey, you got this," Tony said, giving them both a pep talk and a thumbs up in return. "It'll be ok. Gimme a shout if you need anything."

Friday opened the elevator and he waved before stepping back inside. Back upstairs. Back to work.
