3rd Command; Video

[See Tony. See Tony with a gun he'd nicked from some drunken hobo in exchange for his watch. See Tony slamming down his communicator on a table and holding said gun up with a rather casual air as he looks around and-]

... Sweet mother of all that's technological and holy-

[He's mumbling, his entire body going slack as an awed and almost teary-eyed expression comes over his face. Because the room he'd found himself in? Yeah. It's the back warehouse of Gotham's version of best-buy. Picked clean of the more expensive things, and most everything else is broken and looted but it's still technology and metal and gears and dear baby Jesus is that a computer?]

Oh, baby, I'm in love. I don't give a crap- I'm in love. [And then he's picking up the communicator and just kind of excitedly showing everyone his goddamn beautiful haul.] If I disappear for the next few days, this is where I am. In robotics heaven.

[He does pause, though, as he turns a corner and finds what seems to be some shelving units that haven't been installed, and he makes a thoughtful noise under his breath.] ... Yeah, this could work.

Hey. [He taps the microphone, obnoxiously] Anyone out there with an inch of sanity and a blow torch? I kind of need one.


[ooc: and so begins Tony staying up for two days straight and barricading himself in his brand new workshop! He'll be emerging with some pretty half-assed helper bots (he has their coding memorized, knows how they go together, could do it in his sleep, he's just been missing the tech he needed to make them) and after that three days of constant work and maybe an hour of sleep? He'll be emerging in a crude, not-so-indestructible Iron Man suit. Because if he can build one in a cave in Afghanistan under constant torture and surveillance? He can sure has hell make one in a run-down electronics store with minimal distractions.

Of course, most of this will no-doubt be destroyed in villain battles and he'll mourn his bots for weeks, but hey. When Tony Stark is left alone and with tech? He builds.]

[No Tony, just a crazy guy playing dress up to try and stop the city from burning to the ground. :c]

All that crap? [It's kind of somewhere between amused and annoyed, but Dick drops the tone pretty quickly. If you're paying attention, it kind of sounds like he's in the middle of beating up some thugs! :D] Let me know when it's finished.

...are we fuckin' kindred spirits or something? Not sure I like that idea.

[Amanda's looting some kind of manufacturing plant; it's impossible to tell what kind by the video alone, but she's shoving scrap metal and clumps of wire and batteries and servomotors into a large bag.]
batmanschmatman: (Yeah I'm just gonna go.)

I already got in touch with the Captain. What's your skill set? [Also who have you fought, because so far it sounds like whackjobs like the Joker have avoided your universe.]
creatingalegacy: Amanda pointing a gun and looking bitterly self-satisfied. (pointing a gun)

[Amanda got an on-board workshop attached to her Barge room after graduating, and she was pretty much the same way for the first few days.

Totally ignoring the marriage aspect of his quip:]

Not sure what I'm gonna build yet. Depends on what else I end up finding.

[She holds up a hand smeared with gear grease to show him...a bunch of small gears. She feels the same unbridled enthusiasm about industrial mechanics as Tony does about computerized technology--she just doesn't convey such emotions well.]

If I can find a lawnmower somewhere, though, I have a pretty good fuckin' idea.

Maybe tone down the last part. I meant what I said about the whackjobs who think they're running the place now.

Hey, it's Wanda again. What if I were tell you that I'm a mutant probability alterer who can randomly luck into finding you stuff...and that's on the low end?
isthenight: (Do the creep.)

I'll keep an eye out.

Keep in touch.

[Be careful, Tony! Even if you get past the plethora of locks and the alarm on her front door without being noticed, her workroom door is booby-trapped to hell and back.]

Too damn impractical. The fuel would be too heavy to haul around and it wouldn't last long.

[Tiny Amanda is tiny. She'd used Hoffman for the heavy lifting back home.]

Thanks for the tip, though. Hardware store, here I come. Then I've gotta find some leather belts.

I'm on the case. [She needs something specific to focus on, and wants to take the opportunity to work with as many people as possible, so hey, twist her arm.] What should I look for on the way here besides a blowtorch?

Hey, is there any particular thing you're looking for that's not in there?

If you could find me a blowtorch, solder and welding goggles, I'd really appreciate it.

I've got this. ETA maybe half an hour. I'll tell you when I find them. [Cause if Tony's gettin' free stuff she's not leaving Amanda out, dammit.]

Leather belts, too, if you can find any. Not made-for-fashion bullshit, really heavy-duty ones.

I owe you one.

I almost regret being unable to accompany the rest of you to a human war zone...
