Finally some free time. Tony had just been up for most of the night focusing on several things he had not cared about for most of the day. For one, he had been reading paper work that he had to file in for some possible new inventions he was making. And the others were just usual bills. The fun stuff that he had thought he had saved for other workers to deal with, but some how it found its way to him. Normally he would have sent in a complaint so see why he was getting this mail. But he let it slide, he had too much to do, and wanted some free time of his own. Tony had wandered into the second highest point in the tower as he spotted a few people up there, minding their own buisness. He didn't see Pietro there, knowing him he may have been down playing video games...or even training for that matter. Whatever the case he just didn't see the speedster around and he was sure he had a good enough excuse.
"It's times like these I wonder what I'd do outside the Avengers Building. If I wasn't buisy enough I'd build myself a second home out in California for the others to go if they wanted too. As long as they don't trash the place." Tony said to himself as he headed over to one of the large freezers that was kept in the room. He opened it as he paused feeling a blast of cold air as he found what he was looking for.
He wasn't in the interest for anything too strong, the last thing he needed was to be drunk infront of the Avengers, not to mention those days were behind him. As he found one of the sparkling water and closed the refrigerator behind him. Then he went to grab a cup as he sat up on one of the stools behind the bar to look down at the city below. It seemed to be as busy as always from the looks of things as he took a sip from his water as he enjoyed the refreshing feeling it gave him. It also had a bit of a tangy flavor in it for being so different than normal water.

But it seemed an unfortunate day for Tony that SHIELD would happen to have one it's younger agents taking a visit just to see how things were going these days. Though this one agent was quite an uncommon one of alien origins, most noticeable of this was her red-orange eyes lacking pupils, her red-violet shoulder length hair that was actually made of somewhat curly feathers rather then true hair, and of course her unusual height and slightly orange tinged skin. But her most noticeable feature was hidden in a dark tan leather hide harness, mostly so no one would exactly think more of her as being weird as she already was.
Though as she came to the metal gates that lead into the mansion she certain had to admit she was amazed already by the mansion, finding it to be quite a piece of architecture. But she knew she had to remained focus on business, having come quite along way just to see the Avengers. Ita took a deep breathe as she pushed open the door and stepped inside, closing it behind her before taking a slight jog towards the front steps that lead to the two large double doors that seemed to be made of quite thick wood of some kind but she wasn't sure of what kind exactly. None the less Ita merely shrugged before she stepped up to them and looked around for a moment.
Finally seeing the door bell she pressed it, perking up a bit as she heard it echo from the inside and now could only wait. Though instead of the usual attire SHIELD agents wore her clothing was more of a western cowgirl/cowboy style and it would be hard to tell she was an agent, except for the badge hanging off her belt.

"Sir I don't think you heard it but the door bell rang just a few seconds ago." Jarvis said as he knew that Tony wouldn't have enjoyed this news being that he sat down. He sighed as he stood up from his seat taking his drink with him. "I'll get it Jarvis you can let them in if they want to come in." Tony added as he began to head that way towards the elevators. While the other Avengers started to have their fun, he always seemed to be busy with things. As it was true, once in a blue moon he managed to get some free time.
Meanwhile at the front entrance Jarvis's voice began to speak as he lit up one of the monitors that was at the front. Jarvis had control on every floor in the Tower thanks to Tony's work and control centers that he had set up for the portable computer. "Miss, Mr Stark coming down soon. He has quiet a few floors to get too first before he reaches you, but he said you're welcome to explore the first few floors if you're interested in it." Jarvis said as he spoke up to Ita. And as the electronic locks opened on the front door, it opened up after a bit and moved slightly so she could press open next.

Hearing Jarvis speak suddenly it surprise Ita a bit as she wasn't expecting the computer AI system to speak but she nodded,"Oh well thank you."She said to the computer, finding it a little odd to be talking to the system but stepped inside when the door was opened and couldn't help being a little amazed at the place. "Wow, I thought Attilian had some interesting architecture but Earth really never ceases to amaze me."She said to herself as she walked down the long marble lobby, briefly taking in the front of the mansion that belonged to the supposedly world famous Avengers team.
Though she wasn't quite sure what to expect when it came to Tony Stark who was quite the millionaire, inventor, and avid Avenger since the team was founded. She had heard mixed feelings about the man but had been quite curious to see what he was like for herself and got the chance to do so when needing to check on the Avengers. Of course Ita wasn't aware of the slight suspicion that went between the superhero team and SHIELD so this would be a new experience for the shi'ar/inhuman hybrid.

"Yes Mr. Stark's great grandfather had the first hold onto this company when it was just being built, and eventually it was handed down to the current owner of the mansion. As he gave three floors and the roof to the Avengers." Jarvis said as he couldn't help but share some information that she thought may have sounded a bit useful or just something interesting to know. As she was looking around the room Tony was making his way down the elevators and would make it there in a few more minutes.
Finally at the last floor Jarvis spoke up again, "And here he is." He added as Tony stepped out through the elevator. "You really don't need to give me an introduction Jarvis. A lot of people know who I am by now." Tony said as he looked over to see who this girl was. But he recognized one of the patches on her uniform right away as he realized what was going on. "Let me guess, Fury was too busy to waltz in over here himself and he had to send someone. Last time he had one of his well known agents, the Black Widow come and nearly knock down our door. I hope at least you won't do that while you're here."

"Quite interesting, guess this place has it's own history behind it."Ita said, looking at the place with fascination before she heard Jarvis announce Tony's arrival and she turned to see who it was behind the armor. So that was Tony Stark,AKA Ironman the Golden Avenger. Well she had to admit he still seemed he could hold himself in a fight or had a lot of spirit left in him even though it had been some time since the Age of Heroes, least that's some of the more recent history she had seen but mostly was working from older histories to modern day.
However when Stark began to talk about her new boss the last two years Ita crossed her arms,"Unless your looking to make hostilities Mr.Stark then I might knock down more then your grand double doors which would be relatively easy with my strength alone."She said to him as she caught an edge of annoyance from the older being in front of here. "But yes I came here to see how things were doing, just a kind of update I suppose is the better word. Though I think I ought to introduce myself."She said as she stepped closer and held out a hand that was covered by a armored glove with spikes along the knuckles and around further back,"My name is Agent Ita Santorem, or Garuda as my code name."

He knew several of the agents had a stubborn attitude on the SHIELD Program, in fact Fury was one of the few that he could actually handle without ending up in getting a fight with them. Ita may have been the same way at this point if this argument would continue. But for now he wanted to make sure it didn't scoop to that level, after all he had to credit Fury for helping them form the Avengers, otherwise they may have not exsisted. "Things are going just fine. We've at least had a few recruits in the past few weeks in the young Avengers, they were you know to young to join the normal team. Other than that it's been too silent here, no one's made an attempt to show themselves just yet as a villian. That's all I've got to say."
"Also it's nice to meet you, Ita." Tony said as he looked back at her. He had to admit, Tony was certainly getting older. If anything he would be at the point of where he would have to put down his Ironman suit and call it off. But that was an extreme right there. He at least hoped that there would maybe ten or so more years of enjoying being a superhero. And unlike Thor or the Captain,he knew he couldn't last forever as one, he was just a mere human. "Although I would like to send a request, to tell Fury to give us a bit more of a warning before someone comes knocking."

"Well least that means the Avengers will be around for years to come Mr.Stark, and at least you seem content with how things are going at the moment."Ita said with a nod of approval, knowing this would very well be good news to Fury that the Avengers Initiative wasn't going to waste after so long. From what she had heard that was one the major worries for this program, that the Avengers team would only become a distant memory eventually. She highly doubted Fury would allowed that to happen or anyone else who helped keep SHIELD running.
"It's nice to meet you as well and I shall try to convince Fury to do so but doubt things will change."Ita said as she could only shrug knowing there was little authority behind her belt in order to be making any sort of demands. Though her gaze once more to went to looking around at the mansion,"Though if it's alright with you Mr.Stark would you mind if I had a tour of the mansion? I have to say it's quite a lovely bit of architecture you have here."She commented, hoping to ease any tension between them.

"That is true, and what we're hoping for. It just wouldn't be the same without the Avengers in New York. It's like the Empire State building, it wouldn't be the same if it was missing." Tony said wondering if Ita figured out what he meant by his comment by that. She looked very new to the team, he knew some of the SHIELD agents quiet well like Maria and Fury but she was something different, he had to admit that.
"Of course please do." Tony added as he looked a bit surprised when she asked for a tour, of course on many occasions people had wanted one and wasn't afraid of showing off his impressive building. "Sure, I can give you a tour of the most important places here, or is there a floor that you really wanted to see? We have all kinds of things going o here." Tony said seeing what she was trying to do as well.

"Or Attilian without it's Terrigan Cavern."Ita said with a nod of understanding, catching on pretty quickly of what Tony was talking about. There was just some things that needed to stay or in this case some people, and that 'some people' were the Avengers team otherwise known as the world's mightiest heroes. At this rate though she hadn't seen them in action so she was pretty curious to what all of the Avengers could do, whether they were human, mutant, or alien like her all of this certainly was making her curious and fascinated they could work together so well.
Though the aline hybrid couldn't help smiling,"Wherever you want to show me Mr.Stark, I'm just curious to see the mansion is all."She said with a genuine kind smile, not trying to pull anything over with the Avengers or Stark personally. She was just curious to how the Avengers home was like compared to other places she had been. "And I'm sorry if this seems fishy Mr.Stark but as you might have guessed I'm not quite familiar with the Avengers and the planet's culture,architecture, and so forth. You see I'm actually from the Inhuman city located on Earth's moon."She explained, hoping to clear some things up.

"Exactly." Tony said a bit aware of how the Inhuman's lived, he had known that Pietro had mentioned the inhumans on more than one occasion. Though he also knew why that was, the speedster had lived there for awhile, and wondered if Ita would have liked to hear this. Though he knew he'd save it for last as he listened to Ita. "Well we can start with my workshop if you want. There a lot of creations or inventions are still being worked on that aren't even open to the public." Tony offered figuring that they could start from the bottom and up.
"Also going back to the Inhumans, one of our own Avengers had been living there for awhile. His name is Pietro Maximoff, I think he knows quiet a big deal about them." Tony said as he realized that their tension was indeed starting to die off. It seemed it may have been an uneasy beginning but he was feeling a bit camer now in their conversation, at least he hoped it was that way.

Ita was actually vaguely surprised Tony understood what and who she was talking about, wondering if maybe he knew of the Inhumans somehow. Though she gave a slight nod,"That works for me Mr.Stark. In fact I've heard your quite the inventor so I've been a little eager to see this for myself to be honest."She explained to him wondering what kind of inventions he had going on currently. But his next words caught her by surprise when she mentioned someone from Earth had in fact come in contact with the Inhumans.
However, this certainly explained how he knew about them. "Well that certainly is surprising since I never knew of many who had been able to come to Attilian without having to space travel nowadays. I'll certainly have to see how much he knows."Ita said, making a mental note to keep an eye out for Pietro Maximoff and wondering if maybe she had seen him when she was a young child back then. Unfortunately only way to do that was to actually meet the speedster.

"Yes I've invented many things in my days now. And I hope to continue doing that. I hope you find some fascination down there." Tony said as he began to head towards the elevator. it wasn't long before he got there as he pressed one of the buttons to tell them to go down to the last floor in the basement that was too himself. He also had his cars down there not entirely sure if Ita had any interest in them. Normally that was a boy thing. from as far as he knew.
"Well Pietro had actually gotten some help from one of them. I think her name was Crystal who brought him there for an amount of recovery time there." Tony added as he tried to remember why Pietro was there. He was sure Pietro had the whole story down as he only got bits and pieces of it.

"Well I can't wait to see what your working on."Ita said to him with a nod, following Tony to the elevator and watching as he pressed a button to head down. Though she wasn't quite yet sure what to expect nor of what he had in the lower floors of the mansion that was his work shop. Though whatever it was she as sure something would catch her eye since she had a fascination with the new world she had come to call home by now. Two years in fact, but there was still much she had to learn.
But at the mention of Crystal Ita was surprised and looked at Tony,"Crystal is one of the royal family of the Inhumans Tony, and sometimes she tends to be kind towards others despite if they are from another race."She said as she began to wonder more about Pietro and how much he truly knew about the Inhumans. She even wondered how she would react to him seeing a half inhuman.

"That makes sense why she rescued him though. Not to be mean or anything but she could have just left him there and went on her way. But that'd be wrong, Pietro had been severely wounded that day." Tony said as he thought about this, it was starting to make a lot more sense as it went over in his head. But it was an odd couple the way he had thought about it, Crystal was royalty, and Pietro's father was one of the most feared mutants on the planet. But then again he had broken up with her a long time ago, "He used to talk about her a lot before he left Attalian for good. But he didn't want to explain for the reason why he suddenly left. It could have been to personal." Tony said with a soft nod.
It wasn't long before the elevator began to come to a stop as they waited for the doors to open. "And welcome to Tony's workshop." He said as he opened one of the locked doors for them. One of the machines that had already been a use to him was a long curved arm like structure. It often helped him in experiments where he needed an extra hand, it could do one thing and he could do another, making the testing and making much faster. And as well as when he was working on his armor he had used it as a fire extinguisher incase he went up in flames suddenly-then he'd be the second Human Torch. "Well is there anything that you have questions to ask or just to look around?" He asked Ita as he was standing by what looked like a model of a futuristic city, one that his own father had made that was on display in his workshop.
