She was a Queen, but Tony liked the reference. Princess Leia was royalty, but she shot from the hip and was a hell of a badass. Of course, he knew that Lady Mary had never seen Star Wars, but he liked to refer to it anyway.

He nodded his head in approval of the appletini, "I've had one of those before, they're pretty good. I like mine a little more salty, but sometimes you just need to quaff something sweet and easy on the palate. Have you tried a cosmopolitan yet? I have a feeling you might like those, too."

Tony was careful to keep a respectable distance from Mary. Close enough to talk at a normal speaking level, but not too close to come off like he was 'leaning' into her personal space. He decided to take a seat, back against the bar so that he could see her and everyone else. "It's a hell of a thing, this lounge in full swing like this. I used to love a crowd."

"No, I haven't. I shall have to try that next." There were a lot of sweet, fruity drinks in this time. Mary, being a product of her time, could take her whiskey straight and still preferred a regular martini.

He wasn't too close, and she might not have minded anyway. He was right about the bar though. There were aliens of all kinds in there on the night that the crew had off.

"Used to?" Mary questioned.

"Yeah, you know..." Tony said, though it was likely that she didn't know, since she wasn't from his place and time. His hand came up and then dashed off to the side, like he was physically getting rid of some bad memory.

Then he shrugged a shoulder. "You actually don't. There was a thing. I used to be a huge party guy, actually. I threw a birthday party once that would have scandalized your kin. You might have loved it, though. Lots of people, people I'd never even met. You know the kind, they just sort of show up when rich famous people have gatherings. Packed into my house like sardines and I didn't even care. Then there was a series of... unfortunate events. Lets call them that."

She definitely did not know. Mary listened to his story, brow slightly knitted. His lifestyle sounded like some of the parties the Bright Young Things had down in London. Such things had never appealed to her, at least not the debauchery of it.

"What sort of unfortunate events, if you are alright with me asking?" People dead?

"This is gonna sound kind of fantastical but you're on a space ship, so maybe not. So we had a guy who wanted to be a God and take over Earth. Apparently he was denied a throne back on his home world, it was very upsetting to him. He went a little nuts. A lot nuts, actually, and opened up a wormhole. On top of MY tower." Tony twitched a bit at that. HIS tower. That was a huge security breach right there, and he couldn't even blame Pepper for that one. There wasn't anyone to blame. That just made it worse.

"So wormholes are like gateways and this one opened up to a part of space with aliens who rode on hover boards and gigantic space whales. They invaded New York City. It was a party, only not Natasha's kind of party. Not really mine, either."

He was right. It sounded like madness. But being on a space ship made must about anything believable by now.

"Do you think one of these so-called wormholes could explain how we all came here?" If they could bring aliens to Earth, maybe they could bring Earthlings to space.

That was a very nice and welcome change of topic, because Tony was trying to figure out how to explain the nuclear bomb and almost dying, and he didn't want to. His chest had started to constrict over it, in fact.

He took a deep breath, and then let it out. Science was good, and he lit up a bit as he spoke, "Hey, that's not a bad idea. I mean it's probably technically possible? Back there it required some fancy alien technology to build it all but over here the tech is so advanced, it probably requires less doing."

"Really?" Mary actually laughed. "Have I of all people managed to hit on something?"

It wasn't that she was dumb, not by a long shot. Science wasn't her area of expertise though so much as math was. All the technology in this age employed science that was so far beyond anything she knew. To actually make a suggestion that seemingly made sense was astounding to her.

"Honestly?" Tony shrugged his shoulder again, then lowered his voice a bit, "I don't really think anyone's trying to figure it out. Maybe they don't have the man power, or maybe they just don't want to. It could even be a one-way kind of deal and they're scared to tell us. But wormholes are a great answer to the question. They open up doorways from one plane of existence to the other, and let people travel through. You're pretty damn smart, Princess."

After a pause he added, "I wonder if there's a science they've got here yet that opens them up on purpose. I don't think the people on this ship are the ones pulling the strings there. It's got to be someone else."

"I think you're just saying that, Mr. Stark," she replied, though she had a tiny smile on her face. Mary took another sip of her drink.

"No, I do not think that any of the crew members have control over us being here." Kirk didn't seem to have any explanation, and he of all men seemed like the type who knew what was happening on his ship at any given time. This puzzle must be vexing him.

"You know I'm not just saying that. I never 'just' say anything. Not to people I like, anyway." Tony pointed out, with a nod of his head. He nodded again in agreement.

"So the big question isn't necessarily things like 'If it is wormholes how do they work', and are probably more things like 'who is doing this, why, and why choose us in particular?'." And the puzzle probably was driving the crew insane. He knew it was making him a little crazy.

Mary didn't know that, but she took his word for it. Tony was rather direct and Mary liked that.

"Yes, I think it is motive we have to look at. Why bring all of us here from such different times and places?" The why might end up leading to the who or how. "I wonder if it is someone aboard the ship working covertly."

"If it is, they're bound to find them eventually. I mean sure, it seems like a big ship at first but that one guy on the logs was right. It's getting smaller every day. Enclosed spaces and all that. No one can hide out on here forever. At least, I think."

Tony squinted, like he wasn't exactly sure. "I mean you can't even access the computer here to get anywhere it doesn't want you to without clearance. And where I come from I know how to get access that I don't normally have. But I can't do a thing with it here. And yes, that's admitting that I tried."

Mary agreed that it did seem to be getting smaller based on how much she explored and became more familiar with the ship. Someone on board would know all the most remote places to look for people.

"You tried to... break in?" Mary asked. It wasn't quite the right term, but she couldn't think of another one that worked. "I can ask the Captain for his opinion, if it would be possible that someone on his crew is bringing us all here for some reason."

Tony nodded his head, looking a bit sheepish. "I... yup. I tried to break in. No real way to do that, though. Space just isn't my element. I think I'm going to have to go back to school. Do you think old dogs can learn new tricks?"

He asked, then waved his hand in the air like he was tossing that question aside, "Don't answer that. But DO talk to the Captain, yes. I have this feeling like he'd listen to you."

"I think they can," Mary said. "I learned about how to run the financial side of my family's estate just a few years ago." She had been proud of herself. Not only was it a vital job, it gave her a sense of purpose beyond being an upper class lady.

She sipped her drink and glanced over at Tony. "Why do you think he'd be more likely to listen to me?"

Well, he'd told her not to answer that, but then she did it anyway. But he liked the answer, so he decided not to interrupt her as she spoke. Which was rude to do to a Lady like her, anyway. And the fact that she'd learned all of that so recently was just another thing to respect her for.

So he nodded, and then he shrugged a shoulder, "Because you're you, Princess. You talk in that way that commands respect and attention, and a ship's Captain stands up and listens to people like that. Or at least, that's what I figure."

Mary smiled at his words. "I appreciate your faith in me, Mr. Stark. Captain Kirk seems like a reasonable man, though he is very clearly in charge. I don't know if I could sway him in any manner, no matter how commanding my tone."

She was used to wielding a certain amount of power back him, but she also realized that she was no longer at Downton. Things didn't necessarily bend to her whim here.

"You'd make more progress than me, anyway. When I take on a commanding tone people usually just shout over me and start saying things like 'Tony, no' and 'Tony, why are you such a-'" He cut himself off and grinned at her, "A uhm... you know. An Ass. Yes."

Of course he'd meant to say the word 'Dick' but he wasn't sure that word even had the same connotations in 1900's England. Didn't they have a dessert with that name in it? "You probably have more ability to sway things around here than you think. Sure, there's a chain of command. But polite requests from noblewomen are a thing, too."

"Really?" Mary asked with a gentle laugh. "You seem like a type of man whom people would listen to, one who makes sure that his voice is heard no matter what."

She shrugged, looking down at her glass. "I suppose I can flirt with him and see where it gets me." Her tone was teasing, though she might not mind flirting with the Captain. He was a handsome man.

"To be clear, I'm not asking you to do that. Flirt, I mean. That wasn't my intention anyway." Tony said, though he didn't sound jealous. "Though I guess he's a pretty good looking guy, so maybe you wouldn't even mind. I mean, you know - you do you. But getting him to talk about it would be better than nothing. Plus, you might get a kiss out of it or something."

If that was something Mary wanted, Tony figured she should have it. "But no, I mean - large groups of people who think I'm awesome, those guys listen to me. But the Avengers - that would be my immediate peers - would rather listen to a blonde guy whose torso is the shape of a dorito, and who prefers sitting very high up on the moral high ground. You may have met him, he's here. His name is Steve."

"Flirting is incredibly easy," she replied. It was like breathing to her. The idea of the Captain responding and kissing her seemed silly though. Handsome or not, they were from completely different worlds.

Mary furrowed her brow for a moment, then recognition dawned on her. "Oh, Mr. Rogers? Yes, we've met. Quite a gentleman." She smiled, wondering if Tony would hate that comment. "I hadn't realized you knew each other. It sounds like the two of you are not agreeable."

"Well... the term for us in my age would be 'frenemies'. It's like when you're friends with a guy but you also want to punch him in the face repeatedly. You've got each other's backs when it counts, but other times you're shouting at each other. For the record, he does inspire others to be better. Me included. And he's pretty much a legend where I'm from. Hard not to respect the guy, even if you grew up your whole life resenting his existence." Tony rambled for a few moments, then looked down into his glass.

He let out a sigh. "This glass is too empty. And you don't need to hear about this stuff. It's the way past, anyway. Trying to get along with everyone here."

Frenemies. Now there was an interesting word. His relationship with Steve actually sounded exactly like her relationship with her sister Edith. They were definitely frenemies. Mary would have to remember that word.

"It does sound like a complex story, but I'm always open to conversation," she said. "An empty glass is easily remedied here."

If he didn't want to talk about it, it was fine, but she at least wanted to put the invitation out there.

Tony glanced at Mary, and gave her a smile. "Lets fix the empty glass part and do some mingling. I can't go telling you all my secrets all at once, Princess. What would we have to talk about next week?"
