Cyberdragon has posed:
At that point inside John reacts surprised wondering if it was a joke, or a hint she knew the truth, but allows Cyber says. "Hardly." As Tony and Pepper head off to be along he bows his head in respect. "I am sorry I have caused you this trouble Mr. Stark. Ms Potts." he says and continues to walk away from Natasha.

"You have Questions? I may have answers for you. Whether you choose to believe me, that is up to you." The dragon says almost devoid of emotion before turning to face Natasha his form is seemingly relaxed. The Tail swishes behind him as the bladed end would sport a deadly wound it if connected.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natashw watched the other two leave and she exhaled gently then turned her eyes to the Dragon as he walked about her and into the Penthouse. "I had questions for Tony Stark." She tells the metal beast. "You... I don't even know what you are." She says back at him.

Her coat is folded over her arm and she holds it then against her stomach. "You're the item that Stark is... protecting... then?" She came up with a question. "Sentient A.I. or something else?"

Cyberdragon has posed:
The Dragon nods as he says. "Yes I was reactived in the attack on the truck that was transporting my inactive form. Mr Stark has been both protecting me. And keeping a very close eye on me incase I prove dangerous. But as I told him. I have been on Earth for the better part of twenty thousand years."

Cyberdragon is giving her information he wants her to ask questions about. Attempting to direct the conversaion as best he can. Still he won't deny her other questions. John of course is relaxing.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha didn't move from where she stood not far from the elevator. "Twenty thousand years." She said back to him in a dry tone, almost as if she didn't believe him. "So... aliens?" She asked then, with her dark red brows lifting up over her eyes to assume that thats where he originated from.

"And you... pose no threat to this world then now that you've suddenly been awoken here in the heart of the modern world?" She glanced back toward where Pepper and Tony had fled, finding it rather odd that they'd just leave her to question this... Construct like this.

Cyberdragon has posed:
as he listens to her. "Yes Aliens. Mr Stark Identified elements in my structure that are not of this world. Until my awaking in this modern world. I didn't even know that I wasn't of this world. My creators must have denied me any knowledge of them, or the reason they sent me to this planet." he says.

"I have no need for money, wealth, even power is fleeting, and those I find who desire and persue power, are often enslaved by that desire. So no I am not a threat to your world." Cyberdragon says.

"I have answered your questions, perhaps you will answer one of mine. What will This SHIELD do once they learn of me?" He poises the question right at her directly.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha listened to this, her hands hidden beneath the coat that was draped down in fron to fher waist. She stared at him in the, now otherwise, quiet Stark Penthouse. "This world... in the grand scheme of the universe... is rather 'new' to visitors not from its soil." She tells him then. "The agency that i work for is solely responsible for protecting it, but we're rather new at dealing from outside threats. So you'll have to understand that what SHIELD values most, in cases such as yours, is knowledge."

She let that linger for a moment and gently turned her head before continuing. "So what SHIELD would want from you, is to ultimately know everything about you. How to take you apart, and how to put you back together again. They'd want to know what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are. They'd want to know if there are more of you hidden on our world, or yet-inbound to it..." She trailed off there.

"SHIELD desires knowledge. To protect Earth and its people." Natasha exhaled then. "Thats really all there is to it."

Cyberdragon has posed:
As she mentions about taking him apart Cyberdragon instantly turns to look at her his lip raising a little showing some teeth. "Always the same. What you do not understand you fear. What you fear, you hate. What you hate, you destroy." Cyber says.

"Your resquest is denied. Mr Stark is poking me and prodding me enough as is, looking for those exact same things. He even allows me some measure of freedom when I leave the tower to explore." Granted Cyberdragon has been seen leaving the tower once or twice and always returning. "I will not submit to you or your... examinations." He says with a growl in his throat.

"Understand Agent. I have no desire to harm anyone. But I will defend myself and like you I have a desire for self preservation." The Dragon says very coldly. "There are places in the world I can hide in. Places undiscovered by your... modern world." The Dragon flexes his claws having laid his own law down. Tony is gonna be pissed when he hears this.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha listened to his response and she gave him a disinterested 'glare' of sorts before tilting her head toward her left should a little. "Relax." She told him in a pitch-lower of voice than her usual even was.

"I didn't say we -would- take you apart. I didn't say we -feared- you or wished to destroy you either." Her head shook side to side then. "What I said was that we wished to know things. Not because we doubt your intentions or your words, because I don't at this point... if Stark and Pepper trust in you, then I... personally... trust in them... But thats not whats important here."

She glanced in the direction the Penthouse owners had gone and then looks back to the metal monster. "What matters here is information. You have it, SHIELD wants it... But you're also not the only case on this world. In the past... human lifetime worth of years... many interesting cases such as yours have sprung up. SHIELD has a lot on its plate, not just you."

Natasha went to put her coat back on then, swhirling it around her shoulders. "What I offer you is a partnership with us. We learn everything about you, you learn everything about us. We work together to protect our home... But if 'wandering freely sometimes' is all you want with your time here... Then I guess you've found the right place."

Natasha would turn then and walk toward the Lift, waiting for the doors to open once more.

Cyberdragon has posed:
As she tries to give her excuse. "You said and I quote you word for word. "So what SHIELD would want from you, is to ultimately know everything about you. How to take you apart, and how to put you back together again." That means they would Disect me."

The dragon is clearly not happy, "Yes there are secrets out there, secrets I know that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be shared. There are things from your world's past that for this point. Are best left forgotten and buried, that are in no danger currently of being discovered. If I told you about they, you would just go dig them up. Instead of leaving well enough alone."

"You are a Courious species. Remember curosity can kill the cat." he says as a solid warning to her.

"A partnership is not out of the Question Agent, including helping you secure dangerous items. I will consult with Mr Stark, and we will meet again in the future."
