Little Fox — Roleplayer Guild

The young woman's head jerked up immediately as soon as the Captain had spoke. Most people couldn't sneak up on her. Startled that he had and could sneak up on her, Astrid's hand gave an involuntary jerk and she gave a light squeal as her pencil went flying along with her notebook. Papers fluttered in the air, gently wafting to the floor in a flurry as she stood up. “Woah! You can't just sneak up on people like that!” There was a show of genuine fright that flickered across her visage before quickly being replaced by a smile. Giving a soft chuckle, she shook her head before clapping her hands. A hologram was brought up between her hands, her fingers moving quickly to a dial, making as if to hold it, turning it. As the music turned down, she made a swiping motion to move the hologram out of her way. “I usually stab people that surprise me – You're lucky that I'm one-hundred percent certain this area is secure.” She offered him a grin before getting on her knees to pick up the hundreds of papers on the floor.

The white papers held numerous images that suggested that she had way too much time on her hands. There were sketches of children on playgrounds, random people in the diner, and even some portraits of the other Avengers. “You look pretty young for an old guy.” She looked up at him with a smile, lifting a brow as she attempted to engage in polite conversation as the jet began to take off on its own, the woman on the floor maintaining her balance with ease.

Tony had spent the majority of his day working on his new suit. His lab had been closed off to everyone as he dove deeper and deeper into his work. People seemed to think that he just snapped his fingers and somehow brought his ideas to life. They had no idea the amount of hard work and time that he invested into his projects. He put his heart and soul into everything that he did. With every new thing that he created, it only tacked onto his ego. How could he not be proud of himself? Nobody in this lifetime compared to his genius. Except his friend, Bruce Banner, of course. But Tony had the one-up on him when it came to technological genius.

He grew more and more excited as his suit neared completion into the wee hours of the evening, the moon soon hanging high in the sky as he finally finished building and semi-testing his equipment. He felt now that it was sturdy enough to go for a test drive. By the time he had left the lab with his suit walking behind him most everyone had retired to their apartments within the building. It was mostly security now roaming the halls. He stopped to take selfies with a few of them who had asked back when he was in a foul mood – He hadn't been so nice to them before so he even bothered to follow them on Twitter too just to bump their social status.

On his roof, he looked down at the city with a somewhat grim expression. After a few moments had passed he leaped down towards the ground. He closed his eyes as the wind blew against him, the ground coming at him fast. Seconds later he could feel the familiar sensation of metal encasing his body, the clink of everything sliding into place a soothing sound to his ears. The thrusters in his boots and gloves fired up and shot him into the air. His body did a spiral as he opened his eyes to the screen before him. “Alright – Let's go catch a thief.” Talking to himself, he shot through the sky, keeping above the clouds until he came near the warehouse in question.

He lighted down on the ground nearby, not even a sound coming from his new armor, black in color and built for stealth. Standing up straight, he looked around to assess the area. His scanner picked up pieces of shattered glass near one of his security cameras and he frowned behind his face mask. The door was open as well. His suit gave a shimmer before it seemed to disappear altogether as he moved forward and worked his ways through the rooms to the one place he knew the thief would go – His main lab for this area. After tonight he'd be keeping his projects closer to home and upping security. Maybe even building some Iron Man suits to stand guard instead of the humans he had. Happy always thought it'd be a cool idea after Tony had showed him that he had suits programmed to move on their own with preloaded direction from him. He couldn't guarantee that the suits wouldn't kill intruders, though he didn't really care so much about that.

He moved silently until he came across three unconscious guards. A quick scan showed that they were still breathing. Confirming this, his anger rose a bit more and he continued forward until he was staring at the back of the head of the person who'd broken in. With absolutely no hesitation, he rose his right hand and aimed for the person's back. His glove began to glow bright blue before emitting a relatively mild powered pulsar beam. Unlike his previous suits, this one was built for stealth and espionage. In its current state, it could bend and reflect light to render itself to seem invisible. It possessed holographic technology that allowed it to seem capable of shapeshifting as well. The weapons it had were not meant to take down Chitauri or people like Ivan Vanko. The weapons were meant to subdue, all nonlethal.

“Didn't your parents ever teach you not to take things that weren't yours? Though, I think that's just common sense.” Tony's armor shimmered back into view, his face mask lifting to reveal his naturally arrogant visage.
