She grinned. “I was kidding. I knew you knew I was there. I just wanted to see what the place looked like.”

“Well, don’t be shy. Come right in. I’m sure if you’ve found your way in here, you know who I am. Please, just Tony.” He smiled welcomingly, his suit’s glove on from having been tinkering with. “And now please satisfy my curiosity and tell me who you might be, and what you’re here for. Maybe I can help.”

“It is a lot of curiosity,” she admitted. She eyed the glove with a fair amount of her own curiosity. “I’m Summer. Summer Rainault. I helped clean up around here after the, um, the Manhattan Incident, and I thought I’d like to see what it looked like in good condition.”

“So you’re visiting the city? I’ll admit it looks a lot better now with the buildings fixed and the streets cleaned.” He chuckled and gestured for her to come closer. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to blast you; here, I’ll take it off. I’ve finished anyway.” Tony removed the forearm of his armor and set it on the desk, looking her over. “If you don’t mind me asking, Summer, you weren’t one of the volunteers, were you? You did just break into my Tower, even if I allowed it. Tell you what, you share with me what you came here to do and I’ll let you try the glove.” He offered with a smirk, attentive to her reactions and response.

“I actually live here, not that far away. I’m not exactly a volunteer, though.” She nodded toward the computer. “You can find me in the SHIELD databases as a consultant. Search-and-rescue. I really really did just fly up the face of your Tower to see what it looked like all cleaned up.” Her return smile matched his, maybe a little more playful. “And I was a little curious about you.”

“You flew up here?” Was Tony’s first question, piercing her with an interested look. But smiled again as he added. “And? What did you think?” Already JARVIS was running the search for Summer Rainault, the SHIELD consultant, but the engineer did honestly prefer getting the information straight from the source, later confirming it by reading what reports he could find. “My life’s an open book, everyone knows everything. You’re welcome to stay if it’ll satisfy your curiosity; I want to know what you do. So you help save people. What are your special abilities?”

Summer laughed at him. “In order, then. Yes; I like, a lot; I’m an empath with fire control abilities.” She folded her arms and leaned against the wall. “Anything else you want to know? I don’t keep secrets; ask me anything.”
