A new figure drops into the Nexus. Flashing red and gold it appears to be Iron Man, though his armor is...very different. Hovering slightly above the ground, he glances around, bio-scanners taking the new place. His GPS doesn't seem to be working. Hmm. It's then that he catches sight of the sign. There's a pause during which he sems to raise a brow

"A short life with great accomplishments, but only if the accomplishments helped to benefit other people in need."

[iron_man_reborn]

"Isn't that the very definition of a great accomplishment? I think doing something 'great' that doesn't help someone else is pretty pointless, don't you?"

[eternianhope]

"Not necessarily. A great accomplishment can be just reaching a goal you've set for yourself."

[iron_man_reborn]

"Nah, I'd call that a well executed plan."

[vicioussweetie]

"Another one?" Sorry Tony, she can't help herself.

"I'd choose the third option."

[iron_man_reborn]

He blinks. "Pardon?"

"What would that be?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Long story short: welcome to the Nexus, where everybody has an evil gender-switched chibi twin. Or something. Last you I saw tried to put this place under martial law. The third option is a long life full of great accomplishments."

[iron_man_reborn]

There's a pause. "I can take a guess at what gender-switched is, but do I really want to know the chibi part?"

"...Seriously?"

"And I think if that is an option to you, then taking it would be a great thing to do."

Hank, for a moment, is studying Iron Man's design. Considering the one he's familiar with wears the classic armor, the addition of all the cables and the back pipes are intriguing components. Armor design may not exactly be his forte, but he has a scientist's curiosity all the same.

"Pressed for a choice, I suppose I would chose the second option," he says.

[iron_man_reborn]

Turning toward the source of the voice he notices the Beast and seems not the least bit surprised. He adapts quick.

"I think most in our line of work would, Dr. McCoy."

[beastly_avenger]

"Which is not to say I would not relish the opportunity to live to a ripe old age," he adds.

He considers, thoughtfully, "I wonder if I'll turn gray?"

[iron_man_reborn]

"Me either, but you just gotta roll with the punches life throws at you I suppose."

Blink blink. "Pardon?"

[prowls]

The feline felon blinks for a few moments before speaking. "Nice suit. Anyway, why not have both? A long an accomplished life." She laughed. Okay so that wasn't really the question.

"Hmm, I'd rather have an interesting life instead of a boring one so I guess the accomplished life would be the one for me. Besides, I have nine lives. ... Well maybe six or so left."

[iron_man_reborn]

"Thank you. I think that'd be the optimum result. But it isn't always possible."

He chuckles. "Ah, I see you have one up on most people then."

[prowls]

"True, what we want doesn't always happen. I know that for a fact. So what's your name, metal guy? ... It isn't Metal Guy is it? I sure hope not." Because that would be embarrassing.

[iron_man_reborn]

"Life's a bitch, and then you die. Or so I've been told." The grin shows in his voice. "It's Iron Man, actually." >_> Ye-ah...that's not much better is it?
