[He's overdue for this, it's true. But Tony has been poking around before committing to an introduction. He doesn't rush in quite as recklessly these days thanks to his time with SHIELD. Trying to think more like a spy has paid off in that sense. He connects to the MID, sending his image using a camera that does not look attached to his arm. In fact, it seems to be showing a full body shot, with the camera somewhere across the room.]

My name is Tony Stark. For those who know me, I'm declaring this an emergency in neutral space. Everyone is an ally out here unless you prove otherwise.

For those I haven't met, I'd be happy to change that. Since we're all working together on this problem it doesn't hurt to make more friends. I'm sure everyone has the same goal right now and the more we work together, the faster it will go.

That said, if there's anything I can do for you, let me know. I'm guessing some of us might have arrived a little worse off than others. Just look me up if you need a hand.

I don't know why he wouldn't. Frankly, I don't know what everyone was doing before they got pulled her. I recent came from a fire. If I weren't used to this, I could assume people here were trying to get to me.

[Look, he's not exposing anyone if they don't respond to it. Now he at least knows how people are going to react to him. He doesn't want to deal with leftover resentment and for him it is recent enough to be a possibility.]

You know there are other Starks on the ship?

[Is that what the problem is?]

You expect them to be hostile? That's a worrying view of yourself and your family you have there.

Is it? One of them is me. I thought you'd be happy that I was taking precautions.

[He was just trying to be nice and suddenly he's taking criticism for it. Can't he have one day off of that?

He might just be pissed at himself after the most recent mission he came from.]

I'll talk to my psychologist when I get home.

I don't think you're a threat, Tony. Like I said, you're operating under assumptions that are no longer true.

[There's only so much he's willing to say on a public line, take the damn hint.]

Well, thanks for that. [Wow, he wasn't going to go that far!]

I'm not- That's why I'm making this call in the first place. Nice to talk to you too, by the way. Glad you could make it.

[Please don't act so friendly, he doesn't have an answer to 'how does Tony Stark know you' that doesn't involve the word Daredevil. Don't be like Spider-Man.]

I figured it was come along or vanish off to wherever my cane's gone.

[He's always friendly. Especially if he's not really close to someone, so this can just as well be Tony Stark being sarcastically put-on with someone who happens to know him from his world. Which is everyone. He's Tony Stark.]

You lost something?

[Wryly:] Cane and glasses.

I can almost pass as sighted now.

Oh.

[Well, that's inconvenient for him. Honest sympathy here.]

They can't give you some kind of replacement?

Someone's been kind enough to give me a replacement, but it's not the same.

[It's an actual cane and it can't turn into his billy clubs or use it to swing from buildings.]

Well, I hope you get it back. I know I feel naked without my stuff.

[It's the typical PR-friendly answer he's used to giving. Then:]

Maybe I can help you out. At least it would be something to do.
