[OPEN] I Jumped So High I Touched The Clouds

[aheroliveshere]

WHO: Karen Page & you!
WHAT: Coffee & exploration. Possibly hitting the Expo?
WHEN: Mid-morning
WHERE: Near the McAran Building
NOTES/WARNINGS: None as yet.

Karen hit the button on her CALL device and in the blink of an eye, she was no longer standing in her living room.  Now she was standing on the square outside a towering skyscraper in what looked like the set of a god-damned Star Trek movie.  There were flying cars over head, and a -- was that a satellite hanging in the atmosphere above them?

She's just gonna gawk and spin in place for a few minutes.

You can also find her standing in line buying a cup of coffee in a nearby café.

"Yes! Mister Stark -- Tony. Hi! That's me." She stands too quickly, but manages not to knock over her coffee. Her gaze flicks down to his hand, confused, but moves back to his face quickly enough.

She holds out a hand in greeting. "God it's so nice of you to meet me. I'm sorry, I already ordered, did you want me to -- I can get you something?"

If Tony sees or notices her confusion over his hand, he doesn't show it. He just smiles, and reaches over to shake her hand in greeting. The soft whirring of the mechanism that makes his arm work could be felt through it, but if she reacts to it, Tony won't take offense to it. He's used to throwing people off with the prosthetic, really, especially lately since apparently he's the only Tony Stark that is missing an arm.

He doesn't mind it, though. His stance remains cool and relaxed, and he grins as he politely shakes his head. "I appreciate the offer, but that's perfectly okay. It's a pleasure to meet you, Karen. Let me just ask for a cup of coffee, yeah? Excuse me for one sec."

This is probably his fourth cup of the day, but hey, who's counting. Tony loves caffeine and, after he places his order (black coffee, no fixings), he goes back to sit at Karen's table. "So, how are you finding everything? Still weirded out by this whole thing?"
