treading a fine line between robots and robitussin (not really)

[ You know what this place needs to feel more at home? A good press conference. Studies show if there’s one thing comic book fans love to see on film, it’s a good press conference. Hope you're not afraid of public speaking.

Then again, you're not really going to be doing a whole lot of it. There happen to be a few strategically placed podiums and what look like pews maybe but totally shouldn't be unless this is some sort of quote-unquote, 'random encounter', because who puts pews in front of the audience, but what the hell ever. You know what, on second thought, maybe considering the success of the first film’s scenes of press conferences and financial analysis programs, this is actually a Senate hearing. Who knows. Who cares. You're entering the memory long after any actual talking has taken place - although really, it's not as though any of them are really saying anything all that different than what they already would have anyway, right? It actually took him a little while to notice this wasn't how these memories actually went.

What's more annoying is how little there is to work with here. Having a more passive skill is annoying sometimes, and he's taken a couple of grazing wounds to the limbs trying to reach for something that he seriously isn't sure was there a few minutes ago. As it is he's managed to cobble together a few small grenades and manhandle-danced a gun from a legal-aide-slash-newspaper-intern-what-the-other-hell-ever-who-gives-a-shit. What's way more interesting is how oddly quick he's been able to see, catalogue, and put to use all the little things around him.

But hey, all in all, it's looking like a pretty stereotypical 'clear-the-room' type set-up - which of course just serves to make it more complicated, because nothing is ever that simple when it comes to Tony. Nothing. Ever. Who knows what's on the other side of that doorway across the room, but that's what you're going to find out, right? ]
