Iron Man has posed:
The weather is nice...the last nice day expected for a few as rain is in the forecast so Tony has gone ahead and decided to test one of his newer suits, not wanting little things like lightning and such to interfere. And of course, the colder and later it gets in New York, the less predictable the weather. But it's in the low 60's as he's about to land on the roof when something pings his radar that he's not the only one int he sky and he clears his throat, "Jarvis...what's that?" The somewhat British, somewhat robotic voice answers back <<Unclear, sir. It's too small to be any sort of ship....I'll continue tracking it.>> And so he checks to see where the flying 'thing' is going, and would go to follow it...unless of course it's heading this way.

Radiance has posed:
And heading this way it is. Hermione is on Cloud Nine. She got a full charge on her power and even still has a little glow on. Of course, she's also glowing due to the reason she got her full charge. Loop de loops, barrel rolls, spins. All sorts of aeroacrobatics. She's 19, she sorta might have a boyfriend, kinda? and she can fly! What could be better. But it's starting to get darker, and she really should find a park to land in. Somewhere with a lot of room.

While she is capable of flying, that doesn't mean that she's used to it. THe acrobatics have made her a little dizzy. And so when she goes to straighten out of a spin, she finds a building heading straight for her. Fast. She panics and tries to stop, arms scrambling as they look for a hand hold. Something. Anything. "NO! No no no no no! Eeeeee!" Knowing this is gonna hurt, well no, but it would hurt if she was normal, Hermione sheilds her head with her arms before crashing into the building with the great big A on it.

Iron Man has posed:
"Jarvis...is that a....girl?" He zooms in with the visor's enhanced optics and yup, he can watch Hermione in all her glory enjoying the show for a moment, before he realizes that the girl is not quite as in control as she thinks she is. At least...she's not anymore. "Oh hell...." he says. See, Tony doesn't know that you're super strong. He doesn't realize that the building will take the worse of the collision than you will so as you start going out of control, he launches up, pushing down on the visor and starting to fly out towards you. Which you know, should be fine. On one side you have a well built, curvy but super strong brick shithouse, and on his side you have a guy in jet-propelled metal flying towards you to try to wrap you up/catch you so you don't crash into the building and, by his assumption, go catapulting towards the ground after you knock yourself unconscious. So...barring anything bad happening it's going to turn into Tony...meet Min. Min...meet Iron Man...and try not to destroy his suit.

Radiance has posed:
Min was worried she was going to end up in Tony Stark's office and have to beg and plead for him not to sue her for breaking his building. Instead, there is a red suit in front of her ready to catch her. He's had a lot more practice at this whole flying business, so in spite of her strength, he manages to catch her and prevent any damage to his building. True, catching her was not as easy as he had expected. She's such a little thing but there was a lot of force in that crash.

"Ooooof!" says Hermione when she crashes into Iron Man's arms. "Oh man! I'm so sorry! I'm still not... Oh.. MY... GOODNESS! You're! You're!!! YOU!!" She looks up as she apologizes but her eyes have gone wide and she is smiling in a way that Tony gets often. Usually from little kids that think he's the best hero ever. Women are usually looking at him with a little less... child-like wonder.

Iron Man has posed:
"I am....and you're about to break my building," he says with a chuckle, the voice tainted a bit, that metallic filter tha tmakes him sound more like Iron Man and less like Tony. He has some contact with you so he has the suit run your vitals...you know, pulse, signs of injury, all the things an Iron Man suit hooked up to Jarvis can do. But he starts to fly back towards the station. "You're a mighty gal for being os tiny. I wasn't expecting you to pack such a whallop when I coralled you in," he says, heading back to the roof and gently settling you down, or at least trying to. He steps back then, hitting a button and indeed showing that it is -the- Tony Stark. Yeah...it's been a bit since any women have given him any look really, other than the SHIELD agents and usually it's disdain or resignation that they have to work with him. "So....whatcha doing up here?"

Radiance has posed:
Min's day had already been bordering on fantastic, but the superhero fan girl is now in the arms of one of the men on the posters on her wall. "Yeah... I can get pretty strong," she says breathlessly, her smile turning into a giddy giggle. "I am actually talking to THE Iron Man!" She lets herself be led wherever it is Tony wants to fly. She's light as a feather, not a real feather, but she is a petite little thing.

She hovers over the ground a few inches, the increasing dark showing off the fact that she's... glowing? It's like she's emitting light. THe area around her just seems to have more light then it should. As he shows his face, the teen actually vibrates with excitement and covers her smile with her hand as she squeals like those girls that were at the Ed Sullivan show when the Beatles performance. "I love you!" she squeals in an excited burst. "Me? Oh. I was flying," she tells him, as if that wasn't perfectly obvious.

Iron Man has posed:
Tony is entertained. He hasn't been fangirled ina while. It's true. He had more or less figured the world had moved past him and people who were younger and cuter get all the fangirls. He gets all the bills. Paying for the Avengers and helping fund SHIELD while also keeping Stark Industries afloat is not a cheap proposition by any means. And so he looks back to you as you fly there, hovering a bit, which makes him have to wonder how tall he thinks you are since one imagines with the hovering you seem taller. But still...he laughs. "The Tony Stark slash Iron Man, I promise," he says and as if to help prove it he pulls his shirt tighter to his torso, which is surprisingly athletic all things considered, but you can see the way he glows too - a bit of white and blue peeking out from beneath his shirt. The Arc Reactor.

He is patient though. Probably because you're pretty...and seem incredibly sweet. "I realize you're flying...or at least you were...until it looked like you were about to stop flying and do more of a crashing sort of thing. Obviously you're special but...have you had much practice? If not I'm not sure that the city with buildings that go clear up to the sky is the right place to start. Mountains...beaches...places where if you land it doesn't hurt as much since there's water and sand....." Of course...someday the fact that in their first meeting he suggest she spend more time at the beach is somehow going to haunt him.

Radiance has posed:
It would seem that Min is as tall as Tony is himself, hovering in such a way that she is eye to eye with him. It would seem that it isn't even intentional, just that she's making eye contact and it's easier at this height. Her hands ball up at her chest, her toes wiggling with excitement. Her sweater hides her figure, but Jarvis is very thorough in his details of her health. Mind you, Tony did program him, so that's no surprise. At the sight of the Arc Reactor, she reaches out but then pulls her hand back quickly. "I'm so sorry. I didn't even ask if I could touch it. That was very rude of me." She pauses for a moment, still vibrating with Hero worship. "Can I touch it?"

"I don't get to fly too often. I don't normally have my powers... charged? I usually only just float. Like this. But I ... had a date last night. My first one since I got here to New York! And so.. I have a little..." At this, the sweet girl blushes hotly. "Ummm.. well, I have a little charge today. I was taking advantage of it to see if I could figure out that landing thing a bit better."

Iron Man has posed:
Tony can't help but to let his gaze drop briefly over the sweater as Jarvis gives him one image, the basic shape of the woman which is...distinct, and then the vitals that show her pulse, etc. And yes, obviously some of them are elevated given the girl's enthusiasm and like that 'charge' that she's referring to with her good spirit. Still. even Stark can't help but blush as he gets the vivid digital shape of the girl that's standing right in front of him, even if her clothing doesn't show it to nearly the same detail. As she asks about the reactor though he laughs, "Sure, just don't take it. Then you'd get a Dead Tony and I prefer live, jovial, patron saint of all that is sarcatsic in the world Tony," he says with that grin.

Looking to you though as you start talking he can't help it, that shake of his head. He sets down and steps out of the suit, and gestures for you to come on with him as he starts to walk towards the elevator at least, before pausing as he remembers to let you play with his chest....well touch the reactor at least! "What's your name? I'm Tony Stark," he teases, holding out a hand.

Radiance has posed:
Min notices the drop in gaze. She knows exactly what that look means. She's seen it far too many times. It's why she wears the sweaters. She flushes and looks embarrassed, holding her sweater to her chest as if it could hide her better. "I wouldn't take it, Mr. Stark, Sir. That would be stealing and besides, then you wouldn't be Iron Man anymore and be able to do things like save New York." Yep, this girl has definitely bought the "Avengers are Awesome" kool-aid and drank every drop in the glass.

THe suit comes off, plates shifting and gears moving and, not surprisingly, that makes the girl squeal too. She watches the suit put itself away and then realizes that Tony has started to walk to the elevator and lands to start racing after him. "DId you see that?! It went all clink and shink and buzz! That was AWESOME!!" She gets in the elevator, bouncing. She is once again about to touch the Arc Reactor when he holds out his hand. She takes it and shakes it with incredible enthusiasm. Is this girl for real? She is soooooo NOT from New York. "I'm Hermione! Well, Minnie or Min. Or Jean! That's my middle name. Or you could call me anything you like, really. I don't mind!"

Iron Man has posed:
Yeah - holding the sweater against things is probably going to have the reverse effect of what is intended, but forunately you're not the first prety girl Tony's been around. He doesn't go stuttering and stumblign over his words as he leads the way into the elevator after shaking hands. You still haven't gotten to check the reactor, but it's not going anywhere so that's a good thing. The rooftop was chilly at night, so it makes one wonder why he would have been in just a t-shirt and board shorts, the kind that look lik ehe's ready to go surfing.

But as you step off the elevator you realize almost immediately why. Something must be wrong with the thermostat or heating that they're working on fixing. In his office, it is -way- more warm than outside and so he walks over to the small refrigerator next to his desk and pulls out two bottles of cold water. One for himself and one that he hands you. He gestures to a seat, in front of his desk, before he leans against the front of it, just off center from you. "First rule I'm going to teach you, Min. Your name is important. Don't let people choose it for you. You're going to be known by your name and what you do with it. Never let someone else tell you your story..." he says, seeming sincere, almost fatherly as he lets those words hang in the air. "Let me know when you're ready to take down lesson number two."

Radiance has posed:
Min has always wondered what Tony wears under the Iron Man suit. Now she knows. It's kind of cute! YOu know, in an old guy wearing clothes that he probably thinks are cool kind of way. At least he wasn't wearing what her sister used to tease Min about. Because it probably gets hot in that suit, Ginny would say with a grin to her older sister, to watch the shy girl blush.

Walking into the office, Hermione looks confused. It's really hot in this room. Like *really* hot. And she is wearing a lot of layers, because flying in late fall in the evening in New York is cold!! She lets out a breath, realizing this sweater is gonna make things uncomfortable for her as she accepts the water and sits down. She listens and blushes, smiling as she looks down at her knees. "I... I would love to be a super hero like you, Mr. Stark, Sir. But... I'm a mutant. People don't like my kind much. I'm not a god or a mechanical genius, or a soldier that my grandfather fought with. I'm just a freaky girl who can fly and lift tractors and ... Oh, and glow. I just found that out this morning."

Iron Man has posed:
"Well and a few of us are who we are through the wonders of science and medicine. And then there's some folks who are just plain old humans trying to make the world a better place," he says, explaining. "Hawkeye, Black Widow....they dont' have extra powers. They just worked....REALLY hard...to be good at what they're good at," he explains before twisting open the top of his water to take a sip. "I don't really care what you are if inside you care about what you can do and who you do it for. If you want to make a difference, there's ways to do that. And if other people don't like that...well...screw 'em...' he says with a resigned shrug.

Reachign onto the desk he pulls on his blue lenses, tinted lightly but still able to see his eyes as he looks back to you. He doesn't know the battle of heat beneath the sweater and who knows, as you hinte,d how many other layers. But it is warm and as he puts the bottle of his to his forehead for a second, you talk about glowing and he laughs. "So if the lights go out lik ethe A/C, then we can go ahead and walk you around the halls and you can be our personal security officer who lights the way," he says with a grin. "So you can fly, and glow, and you're a lot tougher than you look....that or your sweater is made out of rubber," he teases given the earlier collision. "By the way, rule number 2. If you're not already a pro at your powers, stop using them in the wrost place imaginable. Grass, snow...water. They're all a lot softer to land on than steel, glass, and government lain asphalt. Get out of town, get somewhere saver, softer, or wetter, and practice landing there where you won't hurt yourself or other people. I can help you with that part, learning to land."

Radiance has posed:
Minnie nods her head eagerly at Tony's words. "I know! I have all your baseball cards! I have your bios all memorized. Like that you are six feet tall, were born on May 29th, which makes you a Gemini. And you have doctorates in Physics, Electronics and Mechanics. YOu were the youngest... " She stops then and looks embarrassed. "Sorry... I'm .. I'm a bit of a fan." This girl could give Coulson a run for his money! Actually, that is sort of who she might remind Tony of. A younger, cuter, female version of Coulson.

Hermione is trying to be polite, but this room is really warm. She shrugs uncomfortably, trying not to be rude by complaining about the heat. "Well, that's why I was flying. I was heading to a park. Only, well, I got dizzy from the flips. And your building just showed up out of no where!" Yep. Building s are sneaky like that. Jumping out at flying girls. "Wait... you... are gonna... teach me? To fly?! I mean to land! I'm gonna get lessons from Iron Man?!" She starts vibrating again and then does something that she will regret forever. She actually screams like the fangirl that she is.

Iron Man has posed:
"Go on, I like hearing more about me from people that arent' me," he says, and while there's some sarcasm there, he does seem genuinely amused. "I have baseball cards? Do they still come with the gum? That was always my favorite part." He grins amusedly as he looks to you and takes another sip of his water, glad that it's at least cold even if the room isn't. "Jarvis, what's the ETA on actually getting this room to feel like something normal again?" And yes, he's showing off now cause if you like him, you're going to love this. <<Sir, I'm not an HVAC specialist. My guess on the ETA would be about 45 minutes to an hour after they show up.>> Yes, there's a bit of snark from the British-voiced computer.

He looks at you and shakes his head, "This is why you can't get good help these days," he says with a sigh as he folds his arms over his chest and looks at you. "Have you considered SHIELD then? They tend to like bright, gifted people. Especially those who want to see some good do...." And yes, as he's finishing his sentence and you go into talking about the him hleping you he nods and is about to say something when you scream and I swear, it takes like...three seconds, before he is standing and taking the two steps and he will actually put his hand over your mouth to mute it if you don't stop him, or stop the screaming, "Oh dear God none of that...." he says, though if Tony Stark touches you, are you ever going to wash that part of your body again?

Radiance has posed:
Min finds Tony suddenly holding her, his hand on her mouth. She looks like she's about to swoon. She nods her head, letting him know that she'll behave better, but even as he pulls his hand from her mouth, she is looking at him like a lovesick teen. She takes a breath and then smiles. "I promise. I'm sorry. I'm just so excited. I mean, I never dreamed that I would ever meet you, let alone be sitting her with you, talking to you."

She giggles at the comment about talking about him, assuming that Tony is just being funny about talking about him. Sure, his ego is legendary, but like any fangirl, anything bad about her heroes is summarily ignored because they are clearly 'haters'. She nods in regards to the gum. Beads of sweat are forming on Min's brow. She's clearly not immune to the heat. She can feel sweat trickling down her back. Jarvis speaks and the girl looks up at the ceiling and squees again. "It's him! It's him! I have his baseball card too! JARVIS Just A Really Very Intelligent System!" She grins up at the disembodied voice. "I love you!" she tells it. Goodness, she's a very loving sort, isn't she?!

When she looks to you again, she's just bubbling over with giddiness. New York muggers must love this girl. She probably just hands them her purse and gets excited that she actually got a real mugging in New York!

Iron Man has posed:
Tony does step back after you promise not to scream and while the beads of sweat are annoying, perhaps even making you want to brush the bottle over your brow, it isn't the ones running down your back that are the problem. Given the day and how you got charged and the whole thing with your boyfriend, one imagines Min is a bit....electric, in how things feel. So the ones down her back are distracting but what do you do about the one syou feel at the neckline of the sweater, trickling now down the back but down the front, trailing the girl's impossible curves because that's where gravity leads them? "You're looking flushed, warm, Min. Do you want to go back outside and get some air?"

He gives you the once chance, making the offer cause he can tell that you're clearly getting heated, bordering on overheated at this point with your enthusiasm and the abundance of layers in the stifling office. "Yes, it's him> Just don't mention him too much...oh there you go...I'll never hear the end of it now. You told him you love him first. He has a long, long memory..." says Tony with a chuckle as he says, "Do you own snow gear? If not we can take you shopping for some but i strongly suggest we either get you cold weather gear or sturdy beach attire if we're going to get you to practice your landings safely."

Radiance has posed:
Hermione looks so relieved at the offer to go back outside. She was actually almost about to take off her sweater! "Can we? I would really like that. OUtside, I mean. It's boiling in here!" She laughs as she is scolded for telling JARVIS she loves him. "Actually, I said it to you first. When your face plate came off. I didn't mean love love, though. Just so we're clear. I mean, you know. NOt to say that you aren't probably very very nice, but you're old enough to be my dad and I think I might have a boyfriend, so... love, but not love love. You know?" She bites at her lower lip, clearly worried she's just offended one of her heroes.

She shakes her head at the question of the snow gear. "Not really. I only just moved here and have the sort of clothes I would wear back home in Valentine. I have a bathing suit, but ... I'm pretty indestructible. Well, not like Thor is, but my brothers used to try hitting with stuff to see if it hurt and it never did."

Iron Man has posed:
He grins and leads you to the elevator, his arc reactor still untouched by fangirl hands as he smiles at you. "You should bring your poster by. I'll sign it," he says witha chuckle as he looks to you and says, "You're adorable. You're going to have to work on your skills but we're definitely goign to have to find a place for you." Though you mention bathing suit and the eyes drop again, but only a moment. He's not nearly as bad as he was before, having at least gotten used to you.

The problem with going outside is the cold. It is -cold- out, and while that was one thing before, in contrast with the room, with the heat, with the beads of sweat damp on your skin, you feel the cold rush of air and it sends goosebumps to skin, it chills the beads of sweat, damp bits of layers, and is such a stark sudden contrast as the sweater lays against her body, now made acutely aware of the tmeperature difference outside than in.

He is standing behind you at first, holding the elevator door open, hand going to the small of your back to guide you out and he says, "If I let you fly again are you going to be able to without crashing into anything, or do you need me to follow you home so taht i can set you down without you breaking anything, likr yourneighbor's chimney or something like that?"

Radiance has posed:
Hermione steps out of the elevator and sighs happily at the cold. Well, until all the sweat makes her realize that it's bloody cold out! Oh no! She shouldn't have thought that word. Maybe God didn't hear those thoughts? He's a pretty busy guy, after all. He can't possibly hear *every* bad thought in *every* person's head *all* the time. Right? Right?! Okay, must ask for forgiveness in her prayers tonight.

She giggles at Tony as he asks about her landing. "Every other time, I'm usually a lot slower when I land. Just not used to going so fast. I'm not usually fully charged. No chimneys, I promise, Mr. Stark Sir."
