[It took Tony a couple days to notice Stark Tower looming over the rest of the buildings in the Business District, which was pretty shameful, considering 1.) it's so damn big and 2.) the words "Stark Tower" at the top light up the night sky like a small sun, but to be fair, Tony was fairly oblivious to things outside his immediate interest or concern of the moment. He'd wasted no time in checking out the place, however, glad to see something from home and (even better) not trashed from the battle it'd been through. There are no people in the building, but everything else is how he remembered it - the business offices on the lower levels, the R&D department, the penthouse up top. And his suit, the Iron Man armor, and even his robots, Dum-E and Butterfingers - and JARVIS, can't forget JARVIS! Tony would never admit it, but he'd actually been really happy to see them.
Of course, as fortuitous as the arrival of his tower was, it also brought up some pretty big questions. Which is what has him somewhat reluctantly sending out a message while Dum-E zooms around in the background.] Has anyone else been finding stuff from home just appearing here? Buildings, specifically, but anything else would be good to know too. Because I had a whole skyscraper show up, and while that's lovely and all, I'd hate to think that the people who brought us to this city stole an entire skyscraper from New York.
[There's a clanging sound behind him and Tony whirls around, frowning.] No, Dum-E, just leave that alone, you're absolutely useless - I said don't touch that carburetor or I'll turn you into scrap metal and use your parts to make a toaster - don't wave at me like that, you'd be awful as a toaster. [Clearing his throat, Tony turns back to the communicator.]
Anyway, do we know how they're doing this at all? They didn't actually lift Stark Tower from New York and put it here, because that'd be...well, not impossible, but incredibly ridiculous. I know the bastards who brought us here are watching this broadcast. Yeah, I'm talking to you! The least you can do after kidnapping us is give us some answers, huh?

Hey, so two people does not the Avengers make, but there's plenty of space here that's just begging to be filled with obnoxious Asgardian boisterousness. Only if you're interested, of course, you're free to stay in those shitty little apartments. Or you can come claim a whole floor all to yourself. S'up to you, no skin off my back either way.

Okay, hold your horses, sheesh - [Tony's glaring off-screen at something, which Pepper will quickly see is apparently Dum-E when Tony angles the phone towards him.] Dum-E wants to say hi, clingy little bastard. [Dum-E "waves" at Pepper, ignoring Tony's insults. Tony deems that Dum-E's had enough time, and the camera focuses back on him.] How're you holding up?
