Riri Williams

Tony Stark

Who: Riri Williams and Tony Stark
What: Meeting for the first time (for Tony, anyway)
Where: The Roof of Stark Industries
When: Backdated-- Friday Nov 30th

It had started out as a pretty average day for Riri. She hadn't been called away by SHIELD, or asked to visit Wakanda. Even The Forum that day had been pretty quiet. It was fine for Riri, because that meant that she could do what she loved doing-- protecting Chicago. It was the reason she had built her first suit in the first place, so she could protect the lower neighborhoods from the violence that plagued them. She had been flying high, swooped through a low hanging cloud and... wound up in New York?

Then FRIDAY bugged out, and honestly, Riri tried to keep calm. It wasn't the first time something weird had happened to her after all (though, usually she wasn't so alone). She had gotten some ground data from her suit, but none of it really made any sense. Like it was scrambled or missing pieces, because she knew what the data set from New York should look like, but this seemed way too small.

It wasn't until people started answering her accidentaly upload that things began to make sense. She'd found some sort of dimensional gate. Alright. She could work with that. But even talking to the people who were... different then the ones she was used to got weird. Especially when it came to talking to Tony. She'd only known in-person Tony for a couple of months, and only had his AI to compare him to.

It didn't take Riri long at all to loop around to the Stark Industries building. It had a similiar feel to the Stark Solutions building at least, and she frowned a little bit thinking about her lab sitting there untouched, wondering if Rescue and Tony AI would start looking for her. And her mother, her gut tightened, thinking about how worried her mother would be.

She landed on the building, but didn't shed her armor, not yet anyway. She didn't really know what she was dealing with yet, and what if this new world Tony wasn't as friendly as she thought him to be? After all, she knew what could happen with clones, and she shuttered to think about Captain America's doppleganger again. Still, she told FRIDAY to make her mask clear, and the armor listened, removing the color pigman from her helmet so that her face could be visible through it.

Now, all she had to do was wait.

“You’re AI is pretty neat.” She didn’t feel the need to mention the down side of it all, if this Tony wasn’t going to be the AI and so why should he have to worry about what the lack of humanity would do to someone. “Uh…. well, crap.” How could she explain it to him when she didn’t even know if it was the same.

“Well,” Riri paused for a moment, “you’re biological mother, Ms. Amanda Armstrong, She uh… officially owns Stark Solutions because the Board of Directors didn’t think it was appropriate for a company to be run by an AI. But uh… as far as I know, any other parent you have is uh… no longer around. I’m sorry.’

"Bio---" He paused. "You know what? None of that matters, right? Different universe." So long as said "biological" mother didn't show, of course. It wasn't lost on him that whatever father he had, Howard or not, was still a deadbeat. Or, he assumed. He guessed he could be dead too. Or a deadbeat and dead. He nearly laughed at the wordplay running through his mind. "Anyway, Pepper is Rescue in your universe. You seemed surprised we are married here."

	“Yeah,” Riri said nodding at him. What did it matter, right? She tried to smile reassuringly at the man in front of her. “Yeah. Pepper is Rescue, every since they had to put that thing in her chest.” Riri shrugged her shoulder, “I came after her husband died, but he had a weird name like Lucky or Happy or something. And she had some kids with him.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"She and Happy had kids?" Tony blurted. "Fucking hell." He grimaced. "Sorry, kid, language and all that, I know." He patted her shoulder. "Just took me by surprise, but, again, different universe." Except now he was wondering if Happy harbored a secret crush on Pepper in his reality. Okay, that was dumb. Obviously not. That man carried around Tony's engagement ring for how many years? "Anyway, tell me about you. I want to hear about your life, get to know you. Crash course in Riri."

"I'm from South Chicago, you think a little language is going to bother me?" She laughed a little. "Uh.. alright. I was named after my father Demetrius, because everyone thought he had died in a gas station robbery gone wrong (turns out he just used it to ditch us and became his evil self, but more on that never)." She made a sour face at the thought of her father, "I grew up in Chicago, was a terrible child and got in a bit of trouble, started building robots in my moms garage when I was four-- basic household helpers and stuff, and that sort of spread to me making all sorts of robots to help the people in my neighborhood... which wasn't a very good neighborhood if you know what i mean. I graduated high school at fourteen, and was accepted into MIT. Before I went I lost both my step-dad and my best friend to gang related violence in a drive by shooting. Thats when I got the idea you know, to build a robot to protect the neighborhood from hoodlums like that... and that is when I came across one of your older designs ... it wasn't complete and it took almost a year to reverse engineer everything while I had access to the MIT labs, but then they caught me working on unauthorized and "potentially dangerous" things, and so I fled cause I was like I could totally save my neighborhood from thugs. And then I sort of did for a while, until you came to ask me for help with the War." Riri nodded a bit, "Since then I've been Ironheart. I was also the last Monarch of Latvia, until I transferred them over to a Democratic election process."
