WHO: Kate Bishop and Tony Stark
WHAT: To infinity and beyond
WHERE: The doorway
WHEN: Today
RATING: g probably

Sure he'd gone through the door once already, it had been an experience to be sure, but once was not nearly enough to form any sort of real idea about what exactly was going on beyond those doorways, so he'd have to go through a number of times to get any real data. And he needed to bring the suit this time, see if he could gather any readings beyond a baseline for whatever world they ended up in. There was a lot to consider okay, and Tony - well Tony liked a mystery.

So when Kate had suggested a trip back through the door again, he decided that it was worth taking her up on it. He got the suit together, tucked away into a gauntlet to deploy in full if necessary and then went off in search of Kate.

Of course searching probably wasn't the right word for it, after all they'd already agreed to it so it was just a matter of meeting her. Tony grinned widely, pleased that he was going to get a second chance at doing this. "Kate!" He called out, sure she wasn't the Kate they'd had on campus but well, she looked near enough to the version he'd known, it felt almost familiar.

Tony grinned brightly when the stall keeper agreed to their lowered price, it wasn't much of a discount, but it was something and there was a kind of thrill in that, in finding out that you got a better deal, it was the sort of thing he'd never done before and he couldn't help but be pleased by even this small victory.

When Kate asked him which one they were getting he crouched down to the height of the table top to get a better look at them moving around, there were some more simple ones, one that seemed to move back and forth watering small metal plants, and some that twirled delightfully, Tony was incredibly tempted to just take it apart once they got it to see what made it tick, but he knew better, magic was something that he had no abilities in so if he was going to do that it'd be the end of their new little friend. And with Kate asking about joint custody and naming he knew that wasn't something he could do.

And wasn't that he wouldn't adore their little pet thing, because obviously he would but he just had this burning desire to know how everything worked, even things beyond his skill set. His gaze settled on one little bot thing that pranced back and forth taking flips and presenting himself for applause after each turn he took, leaving Tony totally charmed by it. "What do you think of this one, Kate?" He asked pointing out the one he liked.

Kate had been looking at the various robots as well, wondering the same things that were going through Tony's head. She figured he wanted one of these little guys to take him apart back home and use the tech to help their town. But the more she watched these things play about, it was a little sad to think of one of them becoming spare parts.

She glanced at the one Tony pointed to and she squatted down to get a better look at it. "This is actually going to be our pet, right?" Kate wasn't sure how it was possible, but she was starting to like these little things; they really did seem like robotic pets. The one he seemed most interested in definitely had that kind of show off personality that it only seemed fitting.

"Tony Jr then?" she asked, glancing up at the man. "So do we get a little carrier for it or something like that?" The man just huffed, shaking his head. "Just take and go." He waved them away as if they were taking up valuable space in front of his stall and Kate nodded her head for Tony to take the little guy.

"Alright, we got veggies and Tony Jr. I think that'll be good for this first trip, yeah?" She certainly felt more successful than her last encounter with the orcs. She just prayed they could get out of there before anything more sinister could present itself.

"Yeah" Tony agreed, this was absolutely going to be their pet. He missed the bots from home, and he wasn't really an actual pet kind of guy, but something like this. Tiny and adorable and a marvel of engineering magic or not - yeah Tony loved it.

He couldn't help but grin hugely when she suggested Tony Jr, it seemed like their haggling had pushed the guy to the limits of his patience and he was ready to be finished with them, so Tony gathered up their new little friend and felt better about their time here.

"Yeah I think we can call this done," He agreed. Of course now this lead them to the quandary of the door and where it would be since it disappeared. But as he and Kate made their way back toward the edge of town the door just seemed to present itself to them like it had been waiting for them to do what they liked in the town and then decide they were finished.

"Huh." He said thoughtfully, "Well I guess you were right, let's head back then." He opened the door for her so they could head back home again with their spoils.
