[ The feed clicks on to show the familiar scene of the nice long wide beach. Beautiful blue waters, nice weather, and a very steady image. Then it flips over to show the man holding it: one Bruce Wayne, dressed in his business suit. Though, many people may not him. He's already gathered most of this beach has barely heard of Wayne Enterprises, let alone "The Bat." ]

I can't remember the last time I was on a beach this gorgeous without any company. [ The nice smile, the persona of Bruce Wayne. ] Bruce Wayne. Although, I gather most people may not have even heard of that name. I guess you're not famous in every universe, right?

[ Ha, ha. He smirks at his own joke (though, he is already groaning inside). ] I'm looking for some more information on this place. I'll take anything, really. Even if it is just the best place to grab a bite to eat.

No. Starkbucks. It's like Starbucks, only glorifying moi. I actually arrived like you and found it was already here.

Name's Tony Stark.

[menarebrave]

Ah, my mistake. Guess I'm still getting used to everything. [ Ego. Noted. Someone likes being top of the town. ]

Good to meet you, Mr. Stark. [ Formal business is serious business. ] I don't suppose you have any tips for settling in?

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony is fine. [No need to be too formal. He also took a moment to think.]

There's a food and film festival in town that's been nice. You should've been given a key with an address and some money for the month. I'd advise you enjoy the vacation from whatever you were doing for a while. There's no way to get out of here that we've found so far, so might as well get used to the new area.

[menarebrave]

Tony. [ Maybe not so formal business. Huh. That's unusual. ]

I don't suppose there's been some investigations into why we can't leave? Or how we got here? [ Attempting to play this off as casually as he can. No need to give off any hints that he's more than just a big business boy. ] Money for the month. Guess I'll need to start looking into who will higher a former multi-billionaire.

[runs_on_batteries]

Some have, I'm sure.

[He knew it was unusual that he wasn't one of the first to investigate all of these things, but he was so enjoying his freedom. He'll get there soon.]

You're welcome to be a barista. How's your skills at a French press?

[menarebrave]

Hm.

[ He'll need to do some digging on his own then. It'll be slower than he'd like. He's too used to his set up in Gotham. Ah, well. He's learned plenty over his twenty-years of crime fighting. ]

Sorry, barista is a bit above my skill level. [ There's a grin. No thank you, Mr. Stark. Can you imagine Batman behind the counter? ] I'm better at overseeing boards.

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony laughed. He figured, but he couldn't resist.]

Let me know what you find out. Doesn't hurt to have the King of Starkbucks and a real life superhero on your side.

[menarebrave]

A real life superhero? [ His eyebrows raise.

Well. There's been the Superman and the Wonder Woman that he has met. Most debate if the Bat is a hero at all. So, strike him as curious. ]

Don't superheroes usually hide their secret identities?
