[Nita's posting from a public terminal, so the ID is technically anonymous, but it's not like she's made any secret of her identity. Also, "Devin Craig" has never posted from "home," so she can't filter to him, and thus this is viewable to all.]

Professor Craig? Are you still in one piece? Check in, huh?

[She peers into the camera, concerned for "Craig's" squishy, baseline body.]

Or, I guess, since this is all public, has anyone seen him lately?

[What fresh hell? Nita's about to snap at the guy for being so crude, but then his face registers.]

...Mister Stark?

[Oh-kay. Now she's projecting it on him, THIS COULD GET AWKWARD. Who's he kidding, he'd roll with it. Kinky.]

Bingo! A+ for association, Miss...?

[Oh, another one. Nita's face falls. She's not sure how the Tony Stark from her universe would react to her, but not being recognized over and over is giving her psyche a beating. She might as well still be dead.]

Prentiss. Namorita Prentiss.

[Well, well, well, now she appears to be a damsel in distress.]

Prentiss? Can't say I've ever heard the name, but no time like the present to remedy that. [Dashing, debonair smile.] Now, correct me here, but am I supposed to know you from somewhere? Because you seem quite disappointed.

I know a version of you in an alternate timeline.

[SO RESIGNED.]

You don't say. [An oddly thoughtful comment and he strokes his chin a few times before, nope, dismissing that thought.] Different time, different place, or are you talking about the me that lives over the rainbow in an Emerald City? [Because he is totally the Wizard of Oz, what are you saying.]

Different universe. The armor is about the same, I think.

[What he's got his arm propped up on looks a lot like what she saw in her rapid-fire catch-up on all the history she missed. Like Tony outing himself as Iron Man.]

[iron_ego]

Huh. [He blinks, then looks down at the helmet and twitches a grin.] Good to know I have the same fantastic taste that I do here. Home. Wherever. [A dismissive shake of his hand to the particulars.]

Though, I admit. I'm a little bit distressed that you seem to like him more than me. Are not all Tonys created equal?

[littlecousin]

You seem pretty similar so far.

[But Iron Man is so serious business, and Tony Stark is so...not.]
