10th Command; Video - dated to the night after the breach ended
[Nope. Screw you Bargians, he's not saying anything to you publicly.
... Oh okay, fine. Have a quick bullshit grin, the one he normally pulls at press conferences he'd rather die than be at.]
Well that was fun. We should petition to keep the brooms around.
[Private to Charles]
Alright, Chuck. Let's talk strategy, here. What's the plan for getting me out of inmate status? [He has a few things in mind as far as deals go, at this point. And he can't get those so long as he's stuck in the doghouse of the Barge.]
[Private to Steve]
What happens during Floods stays in the Flood. [Nope nope nope nope nope]
[Private to Arkady]
Any way I can have a few bottle of scotch to keep in my room, gorgeous? [He has a litany of BS excuses to give her, if she decides that's... a little much.
But Pepper's going to realize something's up sooner or later, and he wants a nice back-up supply of booze before that happens.]
[ooc: Hi I'm Em and I don't know the meaning of a hiatus. (at least not for tonight/tomorrow, beyond that I will be a little scarce)]

Huh. Okay, then. Stark Industries was established in the 19th centry by Isaac Stark Sr, started as a modest electrics company, built up from there. We're one company, one branch. We don't spread out through medical or foods, but we supply just about everyone. We're primarily a research and development company, and provide the framework and funding for world expos every now and again. Most recent in 2010, Flushings, New York. Annual income of 20.3 billion, two headquarters, two factories, one of each on each coast. Military contracts were exclusively ours for seventy years, since breaking that off we're branching into developmental technology for armors as well as war and poverty relief. Next up on the block is clean, self-sustaining energy. We head the Maria Stark Foundation which does pretty much the same exact thing as your Wayne one.
[He'd bet half his cars that his own personal net worth is greater than Batman's, okay. It'll make up for the... kind of ridiculous annual income gap, there.]
[Private]
We're also in 170 countries world wide, and employ hundreds of thousands of people globally.
But I just keep tabs on the company, I didn't build it. My thing is the Neon Knights. It's an anti-gang youth program. It was picked up around the country, and went international a few months back. [He is ridiculously proud of this Tony, don't knock him. :c]
Self-sustaining energy - does that use the same tech that's in your chest?
[Private]
[Short hand for you win for now, bro.
But... he might be an asshole, but he isn't an outright dick, not to stuff like that.]
And Wayne backs it? [He quirks an eyebrow] Volunteer work or salaried, and you sure he's not using it as a tax write-off, siphoning out the money that should be going to the organization out through tax gaps and loopholes?
[His eyes twitch, just slightly. Narrowing almost suspiciously at Tim as he reaches up and drums his fingers against the arc reactor, the click of skin hitting crystal audible even across the communicator]
Modified from it, yeah. Kind of a Stark Family secret. [Vanko doesn't count]
[Private]
He manages not to snort at the questions, but he doesn't mile a little.]
I manage all of it. It has close ties to the Wayne Foundation, but a lot of the money that went into it is mine. [Not all, because...you know, Bruce is a billionaire and it definitely is a perk for WE, but.] The money's definitely going to the right place.
[Jeez, Tony. That look tells him a lot, though he doesn't let it slip into his face. He just takes in Stark's reaction, files it away and makes sure the connection's private.]
Have you had issues with theft before?
