You want to work together?

[voicelog]

want is a strong word
but we have a shared goal
we both want to go home, so why not work together to find the solution?

[torchbearer]

She should be fine with it. Better than magic, I would say.

[ingeniar]

It does make a lot of sense. If that's really what you want.

[redhourglass]

i hear you're the new landlord

i'd introduce myself but something makes me think i don't need to bother

[voicelog]

seems like it

[...]

sorry, i was going to contact the both of you, but i've been [ —trying to cope with the sudden loss of his best friend, but who needs all the nitty gritty detail? ] busy [ it's weak, but it's what she's getting. ]

you're free to continue living in the mansion, but based on the assumption that strange has already told you what's in the basement, i do have alternate housing available for the both of you if you're interested

[redhourglass]

( she gets it — no, really. well, not really; she and tony hadn't spoken for months before a few hours at home, and then she'd ended up here. but there had been a promise of getting to speak more. maybe she'd wake up back home sometime soon and get to do that but —

with strange, he was still dust on a planet where she was from in the timeline. )

it's fine
we don't know each other and things have been busy ( since that's what they're calling it )

he may or may not have neglected to mention what is in the basement
care to share?

[voicelog]

in that case, all you need to know is that it would be a very bad idea to ever step foot down there

it's magic related and, since i'm no expert in that field and would not be able to stop shit from hitting the fan if it got tampered with, i think it'll be in everyone's best interest if we just leave it alone

i own an apartment in new york
would you and the captain be interested in moving over here?
if you are, then i'll provide you with accommodations

[redhourglass]

you could be living in a tent in the backyard and i'd consider it after that spiel
i can talk to steve but i think new york might be more us anyway

( it might feel too much like home, honestly )

i don't know that a single apartment is going to fit all of us

[voicelog]

it'll fit
i own the building

take your time discussing it and just let me know once you've made a decision

i'll come pick you up

[redhourglass]

that sounds more like tony stark
i'll let you know

( a few minutes go by, as though she's been considering this next message carefully. and she seems to be typing for a while before what comes through actually does: )

work with black widow much back home?

[voicelog]

[ he expected this question, so his answer is more immediate. ]

yes
throughout the years

[redhourglass]

anything interesting i should know?

( no easy way to pry, and the 'we're different people' thing feels a little stupid when he'd had a second tony stark walking around for a few months )

[voicelog]

none for me to share

[ since he detests it whenever people talk about him to complete strangers, he's going to give romanova the same courtesy, even if the one asking is her alt. ]

[redhourglass]

so i'm not going to wake up with a gun to my head or a laser in my shower or something like that?

( she'd appreciate a courteous heads up, if so. avenger to avenger. )

[voicelog]

no
i consider her a friend

[ a very complicated friend, but a friend nonetheless. ]

and even if we did have problems, you aren't her, so you're good

[redhourglass]

pragmatic of you
and here i thought i'd have to make this whole speech

( not that she's not relieved )

what should i call you?

[voicelog]

if tony's too weird, then you can call me T

what should i call you?

[redhourglass]

it's not weird anymore
correct me if i slip up and call you stark — it's a habit

( hmm. considering for a few minutes: )

natasha is fine
if that's too weird, 'hey you' works

[voicelog]

stark's fine too

[ plenty of people still loves to call him that. ]

ha
no, natasha works

then it's nice to finally make your acquaintance, natasha

[redhourglass]

you too, tony
i'll be in touch once i talk with steve

[voicelog]

alright, i'll see you around
