[Hey there barge! It's been a little over a week since dear Tony here first made contact with you all, but he's been... uh. More than a little prevalent in most conversations.

Even when he didn't comment, he's done pretty much nothing but creep on every single conversation around the barge.]

Okay, so, I know there's this stupid thing with wardens vs inmates and what we're allowed to get our hands on, but. I am willing to give up my naptime once therapy hour starts if I can get one thing.

I had a suit when I came in. A big, red and gold suit that was taken by... I don't even know, I'm not going to think about it. But if my baby's been cannibalized I swear-

[No, calm down Tony]

All I want to know is who I have to schmooze in order to at least get my helmet back. It doesn't have any tools, just a few downloaded games to help pass the time as well as my music.

Oh, uh, also? It might be in your better interest to give it to me, wardens. I kind of have this thing I do when I get bored and find wires underneath a wall panel. It's... well it's kind of pretty, actually.

If you're a fan of explosions and fire.

[Okaaaaay, so he wouldn't explode things on purpose, but there's always the trial and error part of things and... well, uh. There's a reason Dummy's always on stand-by with the fire extinguisher.

But no, seriously. He's bored. And he never, ever stays still and he doesn't have a lab and ugh. He's literally twitching to get elbow deep in wires and see what the hell he can do with whatever's behind the walls, here.]

[You've asked the magic question!]

It's a fighting suit, more or less. Even if I'd rather classify it in the non-lethal end of things. It connects to this- [He taps his arc reactor through his shirt] -and basically makes me able to pick up trucks, blast through walls, fly, and generally be a pain in the ass to anyone trying to blow up my stuff.

[He really just wants his helmet because JARVIS.]

[eyebrow raise] ...So it's a Magic Manhattan suit? Can you like, pull apart molecules with it? Blow shit up? Turn things into mercury and transmute stuff like that?

[He's genuinely curious as the only person who's ever been able to pick things up and blow things up without a gun or a grenade...is Manhattan.]

Sounds pretty damn useful.

[He actually laughs at that] Yeah, uh, no. It's not capable of picking apart the universe and making atomic bombs out of thin air.

The blasts are all through repulsor technology, the thing I invented to make it fly. It's just a concentrated energy blast from various parts of the suit.

[He grins, kind of like a proud parent] Yeah. It is.

[He shrugs] Weapon that could do that would have amazing uses. I can't begin to tell you. When Dick ended up with Manhattan he was all about super weapons for awhile.

[He shrugs] You need it back? You know where they keep it and or kept it?

Yeah, well. Atomic threats never got us anywhere good.

[He shrugs]

All I know is I was in it back home, and when I got here it was gone. And considering past luck with my tech? The next thing I know we'll have hundreds of cannibalized Iron Man suits patrolling the halls.

Agreed.

Deterrents are fucked. Someday..

[Someday he might tell you about Veidt's plan.]

...I can maybe keep my eyes peeled. If it does all the shit you claim it'd be useful to get it back in your hands. Especially if it's dangerous.

[Translation: He's got your back if you've got his.]

Deterrents just lead to the escalation of shit that didn't necessarily need to be hammered into over and over again. It's just a contest between a bunch of assholes trying to prove who has the biggest balls.

[He... has a lot of anger in him about the whole arms race, and his family's part in it]

Damn straight its useful.

[Hey, so long as you don't break what he likes, he'll get your back. He's curious about your cynicism.]
