“/So/ sure of yourself, Mr Stark.” She glanced around, checking the heaviness of the crowd. Not too bad. Plenty to tap off of, not too many people to freak out.

“Just down this block by my apartment, and … ” She landed lightly. “Here we are. Now, I’ve shown you one of mine, perhaps you’ll return the favour.” She swung the door open, with that shot, and stepped inside.
