Tony grabbed the cable and spun the trailer so that none of it would be hanging off the edge, and he slowly let it down, the wall of the metal container scraped against one of the glass panels attached to the handrail that lined the walkway. <strong>"Oops"</strong>. It shattered almost immediately, even before the trailer finally came to a rest and the cable suspending it went slack. Tony dropped down onto the roof. <strong>"Not quite as efficient as a pair of red heels, but we made it."</strong> He reached down and unclipped the cable before retracting it into his suit. <br/><br/>     Tony then jumped from the walkway upwards, his boots and gloves popping a couple of times as they boosted his jump enough that he could make it unto his small landing platform. As usual, the moment he began his walk towards the tower the platform came to life and began dismantling his armor. By the time he reached the door he was back down to regular clothing, a dark red long sleeve T-shit and a pair of stone-washed denim jeans.<strong> "Jarvis, send the diagnostic results from the satellite to my PDA, and have the rest of the Avengers meet me in the war room."</strong> He looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at Jane as she exited the trailer and made her way towards the balcony door. He was heading straight towards the elevator, and the look he was giving her implied that she should follow.<br/><br/>     <em>"Will do Mr. Stark."</em><br/><br/>     <strong>"Have you been able to contact Clint or Natasha?"</strong> he said out loud, again to Jarvis. Tony wondered where those two were, and where they would stand. Maria looked too confident, she had something planned - the news about Loki hadn't alarmed her nearly as much as it should have. He wondered if Maria planned on keeping SHIELD's agents away from the team in order to further irritate him.<br/><br/>      <em>"Negative Sir, both are working off the books right now. I will inform you the moment they report back to SHIELD."</em><br/><br/>      "<strong>Perfect."</strong> Tony said - less than pleased - as he stepped onto the open elevator and turned around, waiting for Jane. His face was grim. Loki's reappearance might throw a wrench in his plans, he just wasn't finished yet. He pulled out his PDA and pulled up the data Jarvis had sent him from the project he'd been working on before he left to meet Betty. He scrutinized it heavily, not even looking up when Jane would enter. He hoped he wouldn't need to make any major adjustments and that the component would be ready to be ship to Delmarva, Virgina to join the rest of the satellite station. The biggest problem would be finding a way to get everything launched ahead of schedule. Those NASA tight-wads always had suits breathing down their neck and preventing him from getting anything done on time. <br/><br/>     A small smile creased his face as he imagined what kind of trouble he'd get in for creating his own launch station somewhere. The U.S. Government was keeping a close eye on Stark Industries - Tony in particular - as he continued to circumvent law after law - since he had the money to easily pay any fines they could come up with. The FAA, NASA, the FBI - he gave them all headache after headache. Their lives would be much easier if they'd just stay out of his way.<br/></span></span></div>
