[Hello Moira crew, did you miss him? Probably not. Hell, he doesn't even recognise half the names on the roster anymore, so most of you probably didn't even know he was here. But he's back, not so much in black, and he's getting reacquainted. He's been out of cryo for a bit, but he's been trying to make sense of everything going on until that nifty little warning he saw on the network. A+ everyone. You managed to tick some new race off without the help of a Stark. Which, he seems to be the sole Stark onboard now. That's depressing.]

Okay, can anyone fill me in on who we pissed off this time, since I've been a little out of the loop as of late? Well, actually, until semi-recently, I've been an ice cube. Cap--saw your name on the roster; welcome back buddy--next Cap-cicle joke I make, you're allowed to deck me. I think I have freezer burn, I swear. Is that even a thing I can have? Medical gives me a clean bill of health, but I think I want a second opinion.

What was I saying? Oh, right. A recap would be nice. Stark out. [He waves at the camera and cuts the feed.]

[ It's unfortunate that she doesn't have the leeway to roll her eyes. ]

I am sure it is only a matter of time before someone becomes annoyed, Iron Man. Experience suggest it's inevitable.

[ Not her, mind you. She would never give him the satisfaction of knowing he could get under her skin. Any Stark, even ones that aren't technically the ones she knows. ]

Truer words haven't been spoken in a long time. I'm just relieved it wasn't my fault this go around.

[Behind the nonchalance, he's both intrigued and slightly wary of Medusa's recognition. Thus far, it hasn't proven to be a good thing when someone on this ship knows him so well.]

Sorry, Rapunzel, have we met? I'd remember such a pretty face.

[ Wait, never mind, she might like to put him through a wall now. But she'll try to keep her calm. It's hardly the grossest pass anyone has ever made at her. ]

Evidently not. Or you would remember I am queen of an entire people, not one of your floozies. And you would remember that I am married, and that my husband, who is not inclined to humor disrespect, could reduce everything you have ever built to mere molecules with a single word. So I would suggest you save your attempts at flirtation for someone else, and we can start this conversation over. Civilly, without assumptions.

It sounds like only one of us is making assumptions here, sweetheart, and it's not me. I'm happily in a relationship with a wonderful woman. I was merely paying you a compliment. But queen of an entire people, huh? Good luck with that.

[He's hardly irritated. Amused, actually. Well, if it weren't for her inadvertently insulting Pepper in her little insult. Yeah, not cool, Medusa.]

[ God she is beginning to find this so tiring. Not him; just having these conversations. Maintaining her patience with them. ]

Congratulations. I sincerely hope everything continues well for you both.

[ That's not untrue. The Tony she knows has been an abysmal failure on that front. Maybe if he weren't he would be less of...well. She isn't going to tell him. She's going to do the right thing by not telling him. She doesn't hate him enough to do that.

Which is why she won't throw him out the airlock for calling her "sweetheart." Even if in another universe he's her estranged husband's partner in crime. ]

My name is Medusa. I am Queen of the Inhumans. I understand now that I have put you at somewhat of a disadvantage, though that was not my intention. I should have expected it by now. Nor do I mean to make assumptions about your character or your intentions.

[ This is really quite frustrating, to keep having these conversations. But sometimes you swallow your pride and you do the damn politic thing. And this isn't really the worst conversation she's ever had with a Tony Stark. ]

I imagine this may be uncomfortable for you. If it would put your mind at ease, I will do my best to answer any questions you might have. Privately, of course. If not, we can leave the matter here.
