[A dark-haired kid who seems to be in his late teens appears on screen. He smiles, but it looks a bit forced.]

Hey. Tony Stark. [He gives a small wave.] I just... got here, I guess, and got the rundown on the whole scary death chaos monster situation. And all the giant magic turtle stuff. Sounds like a good time. [He laughs awkwardly, and rubs the back of his neck.] Better than centipede monster void dimensions, at least, [he mutters. This is not the first time he’s been suddenly yanked into a different dimension, evidently.]

Anyway, uh, if anyone needs some tech stuff or heavy lifting done, hit me up. I haven’t had a chance to take a close look at the tech here yet, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. [He seems to brighten a little at the prospect of new alien technology to play with.

He looks like he’s about to cut the feed, but then he hesitates. There’s a couple seconds of anxious silence, and he fidgets, his cheerful demeanor faltering even more.] And, um, just out of curiosity... When they send us back home, there’s... There is something to go back to, isn’t there? [He laughs, but it’s nervous, like he’s not sure he wants to know the answer.] Nobody would really give me a straight answer, but... They’re not going to send us back if we’re just about to... Well, you know, get blown up or something. Right? I mean, that would be pretty messed up.

[...Wait what.]

Hold on, can we back up a little? I think we got some wires crossed just now. What kind of starship is this? And what the heck does a heart monitor have to do with powering it?

[Uh-oh. Korra's mouth shrinks into a small 'oh' at the mention of heart monitor.]

You, do have a, uh-? [She draws a small circle on her chest.] It glows like that, but it's a lot smaller. No idea on how it powers the ship.

[Okay, he's putting the supposed starship on the back burner for now, while they clear up this power source business.]

I used to have that, yeah, but it was just... sort of like a pacemaker and a heart monitor together. It was experimental tech, but not a power source or anything like that. It ran off a battery. I had to charge it every couple days. Is that... did your Tony have something different...?

[Korra takes a second to look away and take in that Tony’s alive and well without that life-giving flashlight in his chest.

She looks up after that second and nods.]

Yeah, something different. [Inclining her head, Korra’s mouth moves to one side of her face in an unsure manner.]

Uh, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s not a big deal...

[A different heart implant. That's interesting. Now Tony's wondering what happened to this other Tony to mess up his heart. It is too bad neither of his other selves is here any more. It would really be something to compare notes.]

Oh, no, now you've got me curious. I want to see this "starship" of yours.

Re: video; Starkryption 100%

[alphatar]

[That brightens her up entirely. It is a big deal,

to her.]

Alright! Take your time getting used to the city, I know it's a big change for a lot of people. But I'm at Jin-Hao in Metal when you want to check it out.

Re: video; Starkryption 100%

[highprofilerichkid]

Awesome. I'm in the Metal sector too. Looks like... [He checks his notes.] Jin-Wei. I'll stop by as soon as I get the chance.

Re: video; Starkryption 100%

[alphatar]

Great! I'll keep an eye out for you.

[She's not sure if he's got the same kind of 'metalbending' that the other Tony had, so she a quick barrage of words right before she turns off the feed:] And bring your armor!
