Who: Tony Stark, Stephen Strange
What: Meeting again for the first time?
When: Thursday, upon Stephen's arrival
Where: About town, the House of Dimensional Doorways.
It was kind of stupid how busy Tony felt in this little town of barely any people and no real notable projects to speak of. Every day he set to work making something with what he had (or making lists of what he didn’t) in order to build this place into something worth living in. The main goal probably shouldn’t have been that, not really. It should have been leaving - finding a way back to a reality that was his own and getting others back to theirs.
But he couldn’t. He couldn’t figure it out. Dimensional portals weren’t really his strong point and even though he made time for research and compiling data (into the laptop he’d cobbled together from ship parts and other worlds) nothing was really coming up Tony for him.
So he built other stuff. A real proper power generator with better wiring and outlets for all the buildings in town, and a few lights for outside too. Plus hand powered washing machines and an assortment of other things, depending on what was asked for or needed.
He should have been pleased when Strange showed up. He’d been the man with the best plan against Thanos, at the time, after all. Following the path of that one reality that’d done it right had been important and Tony kind of figured that Starklandia wasn’t part of the plan. Getting it back on track could be good.
But upon learning that it wasn’t even the right Strange, Tony’s initial reaction was to just feel inconvenienced. He had systems to be building. Repairs to make, his own suit to be working on, but instead he was going to be the welcome wagon.
It was an idiot’s reaction, obviously. Because if there was anyone who could help them in not unexpected convergence of alternate realities, it’d be Stephen Strange from probably any reality, and Tony could use the help.
Still. It was probably a very good thing that Carol’s bar was opening up on Friday. Tony had a feeling he was going to need it.
