[once he dove under the water, nothing was what he expected to see. notably, there's a decided lack of New York City pipelines. or really, New York City-looking anything. he's pretty sure New York doesn't have underwater plazas.]

Jarvis, hey. What's going on here?

[he's suddenly hit by something even more discomforting: radio silence] Jarvis. Buddy. Talk to me. ... Right, I'll just talk to myself, shall I? That always works just as well. Okay. My AI link's probably just broken, thought I tested that in the underwater preliminaries, but but that's easy enough to fix ... I hope.

[he sits down on a nearby bench and notices a blinking icon in a lower corner of his HUD.] ... Okay. Uh. ... Yeah, sure, let's activate that. What's the worst it could do.

[the welcome brochure appears on holo-panels in front of him, and he frowns]

No Jarvis. But someone's hacking my systems. Okay. This is not good. This is not cool, and it's not funny. Fury, that you? It's got One-Eyed-Creeper written all over it...

[on the contrary, white tank tops and water go very well. he offers her a quick smile] Tony Stark, also of the freshly sodden club. You have any idea how you got here?

[She shakes her head.] Not really. I'm just... here. You? [This is the part where she hopes he's just as confused as she is. Elektra is pretty sure she can't take a guy in a metal suit assuming this is real.]

Same thing, really. Which is kind of a problem, since the last time that happened to me, the other people in the room when I came to my senses wanted to kill me.

If that's the case, here, we're gonna have issues. [he says it calmly enough, at least]

[Elektra eyes harden as soon as Tony says "kill." One of her biggest fears is to become a victim of violence like her mother. For her it's always easier to be tough than admit any weaker emotion is nagging at her.]

I don't have any interest in killing someone who's done nothing wrong to me if that's what you're implying. If you mean whoever brought us here... [She looks around and says dismissively,] They're taking their sweet time.

Yeah, sometimes they do that. Usually when they want me to make them something. [his tone speaks of Experience. the not-fun kind]

You do anything anyone'd wanna take advantage of? [somehow he manages to NOT make that sound dirty. consider it your free pass, he's distracted]

[Elektra looks off to the side. She hears that experience and tries not to think of hers. It's not happening, of course.]

Maybe. Mostly I'm someone certain people would like to take advantage of.

Well, if we stick together and look around this place ... I can pretty much guarantee nobody'd even try. Even if you look like you could probably handle yourself.

[Elektra considers it a second, but it's mostly for show. The second he admitted she looked capable it was a guarantee she'd be willing to stick with him.]

Deal. Where should we start?
