Let's Get Phys-- I mean, Philosophical.

Danny is sitting cross-legged, rather solidly settled into one of the beanbag chairs scattered around the Plaza. He's watching people go about their business, just observing the ebb and flow of the foot traffic around him. At a certain angle, one might be able to see a faint pink glow around his body, which occasionally seems to sink a little deeper into his skin, and then back out again.

"I know what I ought to do," he says aloud. "Find a way back home, report on this new discovery, kick the actual decision-making upstairs to the higher ups, and wait for new orders."

Danny sighs, and it's almost like his body is pressed into his seat a bit more, as though by some large unseen hand. "Nobody knows that I'm here. And if it's true that we can come and go as we please... is anything stopping me from just... going a little later?"

He's probably going to do what he ought to do, all his training and experience tells him so, and yet...

He looks up, with a thoughtful frown on his face. "Is it selfish to want some time for myself?"

Tony was just cruising above the Plaza as he often did as Iron-Man now and again when he noticed the man with a pink glow around his body. Huh, well that was a bit odd. Zooming upwards into the sky he had his speaker system blaring out through his newly enhanced sound system built into the suit. The speakers are playing Shoot to Thrill by AC-DC. He then shot downwards towards the ground at speed, slowing down and putting out a hand and knee to stall himself.

"Selfish? No. As for going later? Why not? I never was any good at time keeping myself."

The engineer now retracting his visor so that the guy could see his face. Less intimidating that way anyway. What was with the pink glow though? Maybe this guy had powers or something.

Danny startles -- more for the sound of AC/DC than for the sight of a man in high-tech flying armor -- and for a moment, that pink glow pushes out further in all directions, which lifts Danny out of his seat and into the air, where he hovers now in an upright position. (Powers? An excellent deduction, Iron-Man.)

Danny relaxes slightly when he hears Tony's response to his question, and even manages a small smile when he can see the man's face. "Maybe it's just a side effect of being dedicated to a life of service before I could choose for myself. I always feel a little guilty when I'm not making myself useful."
