And of course, Megan managed to still be surprising, she appeared BEHIND Mr. Stark. Aiming for this is not an exact science by any means. In fact, it's hardly science at all. "Hi Mr. Stark," she offered cheerfully, pushing her visor up. She did not wear her full armor, but since the radio was in the headgear of her armor... she forgot to take it off before teleporting.

She smiled happily and just picked a place to sit down, "So the baby dragon at the Strand had an idea, it has nothing to do with what you in my world invented, but it reminded me of your invention so I called you. Anyway Kitten, that's the dragon, suggested illusions to trick the people after us that they killed a healer by killing an illusion. So I thought of what you invented that Mr. Wagner used it to pretend to be Errol Flynn." No word in this long run on of ideas from Megan seemed the slightest bit odd or out of place.

Errol Flynn? There had been several points in that deluge of words during which Tony had almost worked out what she was trying to say, but they were few and far between, and he was left with the vague feeling of trying to grab clouds as he sorted through it for any kind of useful information.

"I could try to guess what you're talking about," he remarked as he poured himself the first of what was now going to be many, many cups of coffee, "Or you could give me a hint. Like the name of this invention, or whether you're looking for an actual decoy or... a hologram. Something like that." Naturally he was already running through some of his private patents. The laserlight tech he'd appropriated for the Malibu workshop might do... But it would probably pay to let her talk. Even if he'd regret ninety percent of it. "You want something to drink?"

"Oh, something to drink would be nice! Umm..." she paused to remember what that piece of tech was named, specifically, "'The Starktech Image Inducer.' That's what Mr. Wagner called it."

"See, mutants like me that don't look human. Even if I hide my wings, which isn't very comfortable, humans aren't very nice to us. I mean I can hide my eyes and ears pretty well, and try to pass my hair off as just stylish. But Mr. Wagner is covered in blue fur, Vic's green scales, and Alani's body markings... well, the Image inducer lets us look like someone else, usually they try to look like themselves just without powers. Some like Mr. Wagner would use other things, like Errol Flynn or, well, whoever they want."

"Have you worked on anything like that before?" She smiled, hoping this explained a little better than earlier.

"See, was that so hard?" He poured Megan a weaker cup, and considered his answer as he crossed to sit across the table from her. He usually checked all the schematics going through certain stages - procedure, plus Pepper had started sending them to his bedroom display panels in the morning whilst he was too tired not to offer 'constructive criticism' and essentially redraw them from scratch before he was fully conscious. So it just so happened that he did actually recall something along those lines.

"We have something in R&D. Early stages, but I think it fits the bill," and by 'fit' he meant 'could be mangled enough to fit that the development team would break down into convulsive sobbing', but he was going for confidence here, "Even if they haven't come up with the catchy name yet." He took a large gulp of his own coffee, and nudged some papers out of the way to put both mugs down on the table. "What do you need something like that for?"
