Characters: Tony Stark and Sheena Fujibayashi
Date: August 30th
Location: Raine and Sheena's apartment (Earth Sector)
Situation: A chance meeting
Warnings/Rating: none yet

Tony hadn't planned to visit Raine today, but her place happens to be on the way home from his errands, and he thought he might stop by to share the progress he's made on Solomon's spell. No skin off his back if she's busy or out, but if she's available it'll be nice to chat for a bit and catch up. (And maybe it's a good idea to see how she's holding up after Solomon's disappearance.)

He walks up to the door and knocks.

"More than two years - not including the Dreaming year." Which doesn't really count, since they were all in comas, right? "Almost as long as I've been here. I knew Solomon longer, but I like Raine better." Jokes about Solomon's intolerable personality are strictly off-limits when Raine is around, so he's going to get his mileage out of them when she's not.

"How'd you know her in your universe? Did you know her brother?" Someone else who Raine has lost.

It's always a gamble asking people from the same universe about their histories - they might have been enemies, after all - but since Raine and Sheena like each other enough to live together, Tony figures it's a safe question.

Sheena chuckles. Her relationship with Raine is also kind of odd, timewise. "I've known Raine for a few years myself," she tells him before her smile fade slightly. "I didn't know Solomon too long, though." Still, she can see where Tony's coming from. Solomon does have a very distinct personality.

"Well..." And she chuckles sheepishly. "Would you believe I met her and Genis in battle?" She pauses to let that sink in. "But I didn't join her group until later."

Her smile returns.

"We've been friends since."

Tony grins. Oh, look, there's a shared life experience they can bond over.

"Oh, I believe it. I meet a lot of my friends that way. On the same side, or opposite sides?"

"When we first met? We were on opposite sides. Let me tell you, she can pack a mean wallop with that staff of hers," she laughs. "But things happened, and I joined those she was traveling with because I believed in what they were doing."

She chuckles sheepishly.

"The King and Pope weren't too happy about that." Neither were a few people from her village, but that's a whole other story.

"Yeah, I bet. I'm glad I've never been on the wrong end of it." He's gotten on Raine's bad side a couple times, but luckily they've never been on opposite sides of a fight.

"Wow, a King and a Pope? The most important person I ever pissed off was the director of an international law enforcement and counter-terrorism agency."

"Give it time," she says in a mock serious tone. Laughing, she shakes her head. "Nah. I doubt she'll go after you with it. She's only ever used it like that in battle. Although, she keeps it with her to cast her magic."

And has he truly seen Raine's bad side?

Sheena's eyebrows shoot up. "Um, that wasn't meant to impress you... It's just what happened. Although, it sounds like you basically did the same thing."

"I don't know if Nick Fury outranks a king or a pope – though he acts like he thinks he does. Actually, now that you mention it, I did piss off a king once. But it wasn't really my fault; I thought he was an arms dealer, and he was dressed up in a cat suit." Not a catsuit, a cat suit. Or, technically, an armored catsuit that was also cat themed. T'Challa is really committed to his panther motif. "We're cool now.

"Oh— and there was Doctor Doom. He was the dictator of a crappy little country in Eastern Europe. Do dictators count?"

You know what, Tony? You piss off a lot of people.

Sheena's jaw actually drops. "Why was the king dressed up as a cat?" "Arms dealer" to her just means someone who sells weapons--like the smiths back home. Totally legal. "Does he do that often? And how did you two become 'cool'?"

The ninja looks at him in consternation. "'Doctor Doom'? That doesn't sound like any doctor I'd want to go to," she says. "Then again, I'm not fond of doctors anyway. But seeing that he was a dictator... Which does count, by the way."

She pauses and lets out a friendly chuckle.

"You've been busy."
