[Tony Stark is sitting in front of a computer in City Solutions. He's wearing a short sleeved pull over shirt that clearly shows the arc reactor in his chest. He's got glasses on and his fingers are flying across a keyboard. He's clearly concentrating on what he is doing which appears to be filling a screen up with lines of code. After a moment he

[Have a very shocked face in the video screen.]

Tony? When did you get back?

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

A couple of days ago.

[He studies the face on the screen very carefully, narrowing his eyes at it before finally sitting back.]

Nope. I don't remember you.

[Or anything about his time here]

Sorry.

[lady_wandering]

You- that can't...

[The entire feed cuts off for a few minutes. When it comes back on, Romana has a VERY CONTROLLED expression on her face.]

My apologies, Mr. Stark. I... knew you during a previous visit. I see you've accessed your systems at City Solutions without problem.

[Ouch. He's upset her. He's seen that look often enough but there's not much to be done about that. He doesn't remember her]

Yes. Although I don't know that it's mine anymore. It was fairly easy to get into the systems.

[lady_wandering]

I'm certain something could be arranged if you'd like your previous position back.

[She paused.]...you were the CEO, if you had wondered.

Re: [video] I swear I responded to that

[idmakeitaweek]

I would appreciate that very much, Miss...

I had assumed.

Re: [video] LJ was a bitch last night and ate replies

[lady_wandering]

Romana is fine.

Re: [video] Blerg Bad LJ Bad

[idmakeitaweek]

Romana then.

Is there paper work that needs to be done or transferred? Who is currently running the company?

Re: [video]

[lady_wandering]

For the most part, I am. And paperwork in this place gets a little... unreliable. There's no legal system to enforce them to begin with, but there are some passwords that will need to be changed over.

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

I should thank you then for running the company. Would you like to retain a position there?

Re: [video]

[lady_wandering]

I'd like to maintain access to my private labs and some company resources, but as for the company itself... if you require a consultant, I'm happy to serve, but I've been working extensively for the Police Department of late and I'm not certain I can devote the time and energy to the company that I should.

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

Of course. That's all easily done. As far as requiring a consultant I'd have to familiarize myself with your skills and assess what the company needs. I'll look into it.

What do you do for the police department, Romana?

Re: [video]

[lady_wandering]

Very well, if you require additional information, let me know.

[She looks terribly professional for someone who's heart is breaking.]

I manage their technical resources, assist investigating crimes involving technology and develop systems to assist the police in their duties.

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

Thank you. I certainly will.

[Unfortunately Tony has no idea her heart is breaking but he does have an idea that something is wrong. Not from this moment but from her first greeting to him]

Huh. No wonder I appointed you CEO when I left.

You knew me before.

[It's not a 'you knew me because I'm famous' comment nor is it a general one. Its more of a question of how did you know me from before]

Re: [video]

[lady_wandering]

We worked together quite a bit.

[She looks off-screen for a moment before answering.]

Yes, very well.

Re: [video]

[idmakeitaweek]

[He's quiet for several seconds before he speaks. Her message came across loud and clear]

I'm sorry I don't remember you, Romana.

[He is sorry. He doesn't mind having one night stands but he doesn't like really hurting someone this way]
