Tony hadn't actively been looking for anyone today--not yet, anyway. He had a couple of prospects in mind though. At least two people needed to be taught a small lesson of right and wrong, and then there were always the super-creeps that needed to be put out of commission on a more permanent basis. But he wasn't seeking any of those just yet. He was only outside to clear his head and think. Plus--awaiting a signal from a friend. He had no clue when that was going to take place

The gundam pilot walked, slightly hunched down the street, taking in the sights. Tony was right in assuming he didn't notice him. It wasn't until Duo passed the older man did he noticed the stink eye. What.. huh? Okay.. He glanced over at Tony for a moment, then.. "Ah.." he looked up as if he was going to say something, along the lines of, you okay man? Can I help you?

He decided against it. Last thing he needed was a was to get into a brawl with a disgruntled business man. What did he do anyway? Exist? Man, he hated the aristocracy sometime. Could think of only one good member, and that'd be Relena.. Relena who got dragged into the scene.. Poor kid..

He started around the corner into the plaza, letting the sight of that other guy breeze off his shoulder.

Tony nearly had an epiphany then and there as he watched the teen almost completely ignore him and continue on by. The confusion on the kid's face almost managed to make him think twice. Buuuuut--not so much

[spaceflyboy]

Duo's first reflex at the harsh shove was to duck and roll, at least, once he was heading for the ground. The force of the blow was strong enough to cause him to skid on his back once he landed for several yards. It took him a good few moments to register the words once he'd started recovering and climbing to his knees. He looked up at the man, eyes trained on the older man. Betraying his.. What? He'd never. He'd... "What are you talking about?" He said in a scratchy, dry tone.

He saw the weapon glowing now. No time for questions.. He fumbled to his feet and darted away as quick as he could.

"Shooting Mel!" the upset businessman shouted softly as he took aim again. Without the HUD of his full armor shell this part wasn't exactly going to be up to par. At the same time it wasn't as if Tony had demonstrated all those weapons he made without a single ounce of marksmanship--he was vain, it was safe to say that if he was going to show off he was going to show off as grandly as possible. His aim was perfect on the range--not quite so much while the target was moving however.

He missed several times, throwing up a scattering of rocks and rubble in front of, behind, and to the sides of the kid as the ray's whine grew louder and louder with each blast. Then Tony realized he was fueling the energy with his angry pneumatics and calmed down a bit before one final blow. It wouldn't cause the pavement to blast up if it hit the concrete, but if it managed to hit Duo it definitely would blast him back down to the ground with no room for correction as far as a full-out face-plant was concerned.

[spaceflyboy]

"Who's Mel?!" Duo replied as he bolted, turning his just slightly to look over his shoulder. Blasts hit everywhere, just behind him. It was getting louder and louder. Rocks started hitting him and falling on him before finally, the invisible grenade blast hit him at full force, smashing him not face first into a ground but into a nearby wall, right shoulder first.

Never mind that little conversation.. Now he was just concentrating on the hurt and the confusion. He slid to the ground. Man.. Ow..

After a few moments recovering, mind blank from the pain. He slowly looked up to Tony, eyes hurt, angry, but mostly confused at the words spoken at him. "I don't know who.. Or what you're talking about.." He said firmly, wincing slightly at the feeling of sharp pain in his shoulder.

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Tony's hand remained pointed forward as he approached but the whine seemed to dull until finally it was gone completely. He stood there for a moment, completely blank but fierce looking as he stared down at the boy. Then his arm lowered and a single sigh seemed to shudder through his entire body. He relaxed and, for a moment, he actually looked confused.

He shook his head. "You don't just forget things like that. You hurt her--someone whom you should have cared too much for to ever physically hurt like that--and--" he paused, he wasn't quite sure what he was saying.

And Duo's confusion looked genuine enough. Tony didn't want to admit that, but he really had no more wrath to give out. He'd done his damage. That was all he wanted.

His right fist clenched and unclenched. "I'm not going to hurt you any more. But you deserved that." Another, shorter, pause. "Mel is your ex-girlfriend here. Or would you presume to just completely forget her now that you're shooting people left and right?"

[spaceflyboy]

Duo climbed to his feet, slowly, getting his bearings and recovering far more quickly then he thought he could, or would. "I.. I would never.. Just.." he thought about it.. "Not without a reason.."

He frowned.. "And ...I really.. .." he paused. Ex what. "Ex Girlfriend? You gotta be nuts... I've never had a girlfriend let alone an ex.."

[yeah_i_can_fly]

"Clearly this ruse isn't going to work on me," Tony said with a pointed look and hands placed on his hips, somewhat similar to a stance Pepper would take when addressing Tony's own nonsense--but less feminine. Then he hesitated and gave Duo a thoughtful look. "Unless you've managed to hit your head in all of that--but no, you went on like that before and--Jesus Christ, kid, did you hit your head before all this mess!?"

[spaceflyboy]

"Clearly.." Duo replied snyly, rolling his eyes. He held his arm firmly glowering up at the unfamiliar man with the .. Whatever weapon. "I don't know what you're talking about man, I was in that.. That cafe back there. Woke up there. Fore that I was flying a jet. Over the Pacific.. Trying not to get shot down.. Figured I did.. You wanna tell me different? You wanna tell me where the hell I am?" Duo chided.

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Tony stared down blankly at Duo and then his face resolved into something serious, but not necessarily harsh as before. He still didn't seem pleased with Duo, as his body language indicated, but his words turned towards a more helpful intent nevertheless. "You're in Econtra. You've been here for some time--longer than I have, at least. If you can't remember... maybe I'm not the best person to explain right now. I doubt whatever this is will be permanent. Here's an explanation for today though just in case: you hurt a girl named Melaka for--mostly--no reason. You were friends with her. She happens to be my friend as well. And I do not take kindly to such actions. Now, you're not a bad kid, so I never planned on doing much more than teaching you a lesson--but if it ever happens again--there won't be much more hesitation
