Why had Pietro left? Perhaps he had been in love with Crystal like her shi'ar father had been in love with her mother, but something didn't work out? Those questions are what went through Ita's mind since it made sense that might be the reason he was staying but then if it didn't work out he left to avoid more pain. Whatever the reason Pietro really didn't want to talk about it so it was understandable. "Guess for him some things are best left unsaid Tony, sometimes it's better that way."She said with a nod.
When Tony opened the workshop and they were off the elevator Ita stepped inside to look around for a moment, surprised at the amount of technology he had in this large area. Maybe the most she had seen in a long time since she had been there and it took her a moment to think of anything to say. "A lot of questions come to mind Mr.Stark just a matter of choosing which one to ask first."She said before her eyes fell on the futuristic city Tony was standing next to and she couldn't help coming over to look,"Did you make this?"She asked curiously.

"That is the case on this time." Tony said with a soft nod as he looked back at Ita as she came out next. But he nodded understanding, there were plenty of questions she probably had for him but he'd answer them the best as he could and waited patiently. It seemed the tension from before was starting to shimmer down now for sure.
He shook his head however as Ita spoke of the city, "No that was actually a gift from my father to me when he was still alive. It turns out the city was a map after I looked at it for awhile and 'disected it'." He said wondering if Ita was actually interested in the element that he had discovered from it. So he kept quiet about it for now unless she wanted to hear more about it.

Ita was surprised to hear this, wondering what kind of map this could possibly be. "For it to be a map this is the most complex map I've seen so far Mr.Stark, least without it being a hologram of some kind."She told him with amazement before adding,"But what exactly is it a map of?"She asked with curiosity, showing quite a bit of interest in what he had found. Even though some others might not have been the young hybrid was very much interested in about everything she could learn, especially new cultures, planets, or mysteries that had yet to be unfolded.

"It was a map to a creation of a new element that no one had ever discovered. My father knew it was there but he couldn't bring it out, being that his life had been cut short. So he left me with the pieces of the puzzle. I currently use that element to fuel my Ironman suits. Since before I had nearly come to killing myself once with the recent power source that they took in and didn't need that to happen." Tony said as he brought up the holograms that he had used to create the element to show her. "And I did have holograms for it. These very ones." He said as it showed the streets, and buildings almost like complete replications.

"A new element?"Ita asked, turning towards the holograms Tony brought up to show her which she began to look among the information and replicas of the buildings and streets. She had to admit this was one elaborate way to figure out a new element, probably one not even on this planet's periodic table yet. Though how much of this element was there? Would Tony even know that one? Maybe, maybe not. Either way it was an incredible find from just his father starting off with it first.
Looking back at Tony she nodded,"Seems your father was a brilliant man himself Mr.Stark, I can see where you got it from."She said as she was once more looking over the information as if memorizing it in a way. It was something she often did when learning something knew and most information she remembered if it was worth remembering.

"Yes." Tony answered. "Just as the air we breathe is full of elements, though Oxygen is the main one that is put into it. It has things such as water, nitrogen and even some smaller ones that would probably only appeare on the smallest of microscopes." Tony said as he wondered how familar she was with them. If not he wouldn't mind starting a lecture with her about it. But that also depended on if she wanted one or not. He nodded back as he listen to her as she gave him a compliment.
"Thank you and yes my father is still remembered in a lot of companies, and I've heard a lot of stories about them some of which sound definitely like him if you ask me." Tony agreed as he let her watch some of the holograms for awhile and let her read the information. He came over to one of his computer screens, four of which had been set up so he could mutlitask. Each computer doing its own thing or a couple of them at one.
But there was oddly no key board at first as it was built into the desk as a hologram and he let it show up on the desk. "Is there anything else that you would like to see while we're down here?" He asked her.

"Indeed Mr.Stark, oxygen is for the most part a vital part of most life, especially for those on Earth but I could guarantee you it is not the case when it comes to most other planets."Ita agreed as she finally turned her attention towards Tony once more. But what really had her interest now was this new element what Tony's father had discovered plus the fact if the technology he used was further developing on Earth. From what she had learned the planet was still very much primitive in it's works compared to other civilizations.
Though she listened as Tony explained about the stories of his father and couldn't help wondering if the Stark legacy truly would live on just through technology alone. At the moment though Ita wasn't much concerned in legacies really more then actually learning more about the planet, it's inhabitants, and some of the other races that may have come and go there without them knowing. And already from what Ita had heard the Avengers were quite diverse in the types of people who were apart of their team. Perhaps they would be a good group to observe for her time there.
"Think another thing that really interests me of how far Earth has come in it's technologies. Where I grew up I heard Earth was still growing from being so primitive it what it used and well I wonder myself if that is true."The young hybrid woman said, nodding to the tech Tony had already as he seemed already getting into the touch screens and holograms.

"Yes I have been to a few planets every once in awhile as that is not the case. Luckily the suit can protect me from things like that as it gives me enough oxygen to survive for nearly weeks at a time." Tony said knowing that was pretty helpful on many occasions. Especially if it came to an emergency when there was suddenly no oxygen n the air. As he nodded back to Ita as she spoke about how far earth has come. To be honest it sounded like Ita was a bit older than she looked, of course that was the same way to be said about Wolverine as he had been around for nearly two hundred years from now.
"That is true. I know we still have a lot of older mutants with us or super heroes that are with us today. One of which is Wolverine who has been around since the 1800's. He may not remember everything but he could give you an idea of what it was like two hundred years ago. Back then probably some of my ancestors were still around too." Tony said knowing that was likely the case since it had been awhile since humans have managed to live for so long. Then the likely hood of living seventy years of age was hard since they did not have the neccesary things to live on or needed that easily.

"Indeed, such as a case in one of my heritage lines, far as I know they have a slightly different atmosphere then that of Attilian and Earth, which both use oxygen in order to survive."Ita agreed, though she had only ever been on Earth's moon and Earth itself. Never yet had she met any of the Shi'ar in which her father had been a part of long before she was born. However, he had died some time before then. Sometimes Ita wished she could have known her father or even the other side of her lineage, all painfully out of her reach unless by some chance she met another Shi'ar hybrid or met a shi'ar of pure blood or someone from that empire.
Though for the time being that was of little concern for her as she listened to Tony and chuckled. "Ah, I am not unfamiliar with a race who could have potential for longevity Tony. In fact the Inhumans are known to live at the most 150 years before they die of old age and well it's very likely I could end up the same. But being only half Inhuman there's just the chance it may be shorter."She explained to him with a slight smile, wondering how he would take this news in knowing that.

"Well then looks like we won't have to worry about running out of air when we're up on Attilian any time soon." Tony said as he listened to Ita as she spoke about her home planet. But as she mentioned the humans having a long life he figured he could explain why such a thing happened, at least the best he could anyways. "That's pretty impressive for inhumans, they could live twice the lifespan of a normal human. But don't get your hopes down, you could probably live that long." Tony added. "But as for us humans living that long some of us have healing factors or some healing ability that regenerates tissue or even cells faster than most humans would be able too. Even wounds that would nearly kill someone they would heal in a matter of seconds from it. Still I think you'd have some good interation with Logan from earlier. He's one of the oldest mutants that I know around. The only other older person that I can think of is a man named Doctor Strange, but he has it through certain magical spells and items for living so long on his way."

So the humans themselves had their ways of staying alive for a number of years, though it mostly seemed through this known x-gene or mystical means. "Now that's quite an interesting thought to know that's possible among your kind Mr.Stark. I mean I'm sure with time any race could learn to live for many number years past their initial day to truly leave this planet but still it takes a long time to do so."Ita observed as she tapped her chin when thinking about the word 'mutants' Tony had mentioned and could guess it was a type of human evolutionary line.
Though she couldn't help chuckling,"As for really getting my hopes of a long life Mr.Stark that'll be purely up to my inhuman genes, especially since I don't know if my shi'ar half hinders such a chance."She said to him with a smile before something did come to mind when they were on the subject of living long. She had noticed a few times of the arch reactor in Tony's chest that faintly glowed on occasion and the young SHIELD agent couldn't help asking,"While we're on this subject what is that in your chest that keeps glowing? I've noticed when I got here but didn't see a reason to ask about it till now."

"Yes it would be nice to live quiet a long time. I've been around for about fourty years, and I would certainly like to live around for some more if I can help out other Avengers. Of course everyone unfortunately has their end some day." Tony said with a sigh as he thought about it. Unfortunately Tony was only a human and didn't have much of a way to live long, if anything the metal in his chest would be the first thing that killed him. And oddly he managed to survive the worst for that. "I tried to help, when you put your mind to it anything is possible these days." Tony added as he listened to what Ita had to say. So, she had asked about his arch reactor in his chest. He knew in the past he had gotten a lot of questions about it, and it didn't bother him that much these days. A lot of people knew he had a heart defect but some how he managed to keep himself up and not down that much. "It's called a magnetic reactor arch. It's the very thing that keeps me alive these days. Since when I was younger I had been in an accident where some pieces of metal shrapnel had gotten into my chest after a bomb had gone off. The magnetic reacter arch was the one thing that could keep the shrapnel from getting to my heart and blocking my veins or arteries completely. Without it pretty much I'd be dead in an hour or so." Tony said knowing it was on several close calls he had in the past with it were he nearly came close to death with it. But had always managed to get out of them with his will to live.

So despite their evolution many humans stilled faced the fact of dying at such young ages, at least young in a Inhuman's mind. Unfortunately Ita didn't know what to say on the matter except to nod solemnly, knowing how true Tony's words were with the fact that everyone eventually met their end regardless if they had a long life or an immortal one. Yet, for some races they'd be lucky to evolve at all since Ita had learned that some just couldn't continue evolving for some reason.
Putting this aside the young alien hybrid listened to what Tony said after she asked about his arch reactor in his chest. Though Ita couldn't help being shocked when Tony explained to why he had it in his chest, only able to imagine how that could have been if the machine stopped working. So that was a major weakness for the iron-clad Avenger, if that were hit or destroyed anyone would be lucky to get the arch reactor functional fast enough just so Tony could stay alive. "I'm sorry to hear that Mr.Stark, I'm sure it has to be difficult sometimes to deal with that."Ita told him, showing some sympathy for his plight but it seemed that never got the millionaire inventor down.
"But I must give you credit, you still seem full of vigor and optimism despite what has happened over the years."She added, hoping to sound a little positive if she could and make Tony know he still had a lot going for him. And that was always a good thing.

"It's alright Ita, it's only happened a few times when someone tried to take out my arch. Though after those few I planned on keeping a few inside the mansion in an emergency if it were to happen again. I can usually put it back in myself but if something were to happen someoen else has the choice of placing the arch back into my chest." Tony explained to Ita as he looked back at her as she spoke. He had handled himself pretty well on several occasions and only once or twice had he had to ask someone to put it in. Otherwise he had made sure that the reactor was well in check and up to date so he wouldn't suffer.
"Thank you Ita. And yes I do my best at trying to stay healthy. A lot of men sometimes at my age start to loose it and I told myself I wasn't going down that road. The other thing is with my condition I am sometimes limited of course but I do my best." Tony said with a smile as he heard Ita's word. A lot of people were probably surprised to see Tony's spirit at his age. But it was through much practice and hope with the formation of the Avengers he slowly achieved his way towards it.

"Well hopefully there will never be a time that it'll be too late for that Mr.Stark,"Ita said to him, still wondering if he really could keep his luck up even after so long. Even she had to admit so far it seemed genuine luck that the arch reactor in his chest hadn't been fully destroyed or given him complications to the point it didn't work much. And yet that didn't seem a thought at all in the man's mind which she had to admire. He really did have a strong spirit despite everything that had ever happened. Not everyone had that will and it was a shame when such strong wills broke.
Though she only smiled at his thanks,"Your welcome and yes it seems many humans begin to deteriate after a while. I've seen that quite often in my short time here but it's amazing when even the prime of your life some still pull through as you have."She replied while turning her gaze towards his technology filled work shop. Though she could guess it might help to change the subject slightly."Though not to go off topic Mr.Stark but is all this technology of Earth origin by any chance?"She asked curiously.
