Lab Beneath Stark Industries, Wednesday Afternoon

After finishing with class, Tony got back to his lab for what he could only hope wasn't going to be a terrible conversation after getting her text last night. It could be good news, right? His life was totally full of good news these days.

Okay, he was doing a little nervous tinkering because things rarely went his way and he knew it.

Shhh.

"Hey, Tony, you down here?" Jessica asked as she popped in.
imafuturist: (probably insulting someone)

"Just waiting for you, sweetheart," Tony called back, turning away from schematics of a gauntlet.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I had some stuff I needed to look at before I came to talk," Jessica said, coming fully into the lab. "Hopefully those schematics are for something good, because I think you're gonna want to use it on somebody."
imafuturist: (this is gonna end in tears)

And away they went with a blink as Tony turned all his attention onto her. "...spill."

"I was in your New York last night to raid one of Osborn's secret labs. While I was there, I got some intel," Jessica said. "The Red Skull has Steve Rogers' body." She had gotten info from JARVIS about the Skull, so she knew exactly how bad that was now.

"Shit." Well, thankfully Tony had already been sitting. Not that it stopped him from getting right on up to pace right after. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted the funeral."

"There's at least a small chance that we're being set up," Jessica said. "Apparently your world has a version of me who is also a spy involved in way too many things. But she seemed to check out, as far as I can put together. The Skull keeps moving him around, but the other Jessica said the next base will be somewhere in Queens. I already put together a map of likely locations with JARVIS's help."
imafuturist: (side eyeing you)

"Then we keep an eye on them and see if this is on the level," Tony replied. "We get a time frame for when this move will happen?"

So he could punch the Red Skull in the face until he stopped being pissed off about this.

"No," Jessica said. "But I'd expect it to be soon."
imafuturist: (with pepper)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-09 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded at that, pacing away again. "We'll have to keep an eye on things until they make a move."

"Once they do, it's on us," Jessica said. "The other me claimed to be busy with stuff for Nick Fury. I think we both know how that can occupy someone's time."
imafuturist: (well that sucks)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-09 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Tony made a face at the mention of Fury.

"I thought he was busy with aliens," he muttered. "I wouldn't be surprised. He has a lot of agents still running missions for him."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2016-06-09 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
"If he's anything like the Nick Fury I trained under, he's busy with twenty things," Jessica said. "Anything you need from me on this, let me know. This is my priority right now."
imafuturist: (talking at you)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-09 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"I--" The kneejerk reaction of 'no, I can handle this alone' died before he could voice it. "Thank you, Jessica."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2016-06-09 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
She couldn't do anything to help when her Cap sacrificed himself against Galactus. She could make up for that here. "You're welcome."

"Oh, I also have a sample of Osborn's Goblin Formula locked up for analysis after this. Don't let anyone drink that."
imafuturist: (smile)

[personal profile] imafuturist 2016-06-09 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tony snorted. "I won't. You okay analyzing it or want me to have Reed or T'Challa give it a once over?"

"I'm good with it. I need it as a comparison to the OZ formula in my system," Jessica said. "I know it won't be a perfect match, but I'm hoping there's enough similarities to help me finish reverse engineering OZ so I can figure out what other surprises it might have for me."
imafuturist: (talking at you)

"You want to send blood samples along?" Tony asked. "I trust them, but it's up to you."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2016-06-09 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"My life is built entirely on supposedly trustworthy people doing sketchy stuff with blood samples," Jessica said. "I appreciate the offer, but I have to pass."
imafuturist: (I thought it went well!)

YOUR WORLD WAS SO AWFUL, JESS.

"That's why I asked."
