IDK. I didn't exactly get a good frame of reference for which building was the tallest when I was falling out of the sky there.

[monomachy]

I thought you had been all over the city? And why would you fall? You can fly.

[nepotis]

can I? that's news to me.

[monomachy]

[squints]

Is this not I.M.?

[they still haven't come up with a better nickname]

[nepotis]

nope. this is H.O.
but I do want to hear all about your flying friend I.M. now.

[monomachy]

I don't know how I did this wrong, he spent an hour explaining it to me!
Well, H.O., my name is Diana. What do you want to know about I.M.?

[nepotis]

I gathered that from your username.

[ Studying the classics pays off, apparently. One thing that posh primate school education is good for. ]

but about I.M.… how does he fly? is he any good at it? or is he as bad at flying as he is teaching Greek people how to text?

[monomachy]

He has a suit, and he is very good at it.
And I am not bad at texting, I made a simple mistake.

[she is kinda bad at it tho :(]

[nepotis]

I own plenty of suits. none of them let me fly.

[monomachy]

His is made of metal. It powers him, somehow.

[nepotis]

are you saying he's a robot??

[monomachy]

What is a robot?

[nepotis]

a robot is a person made out of metal.
or, I guess it doesn't have to be a person. they have robot dogs and stuff.

[monomachy]

No, he is a man. Just the suit is metal.

[nepotis]

huh. sounds like that would be too heavy to fly, but what do I know?

[monomachy]

That's what I thought! But I have seen him fly with my own eyes, so it is possible.

[nepotis]

how does he do it? jet propulsion? I know that sort of thing is possible, I've just never seen it in a *suit.*

[monomachy]

It looks like some kind of energy coming from his hands and feet. Is that what you mean?

[nepotis]

yeah, something like that. it must be a pretty clunky suit.

[monomachy]

Clunky?

[hold on, she's gotta google]

No, I don't think so. I can tell he's a human man beneath it.

[nepotis]

huh. wonder what he's using to power it.

what did you say his name was again?

[monomachy]

Iron Man. But he told me to call him I.M. for short. It is a nickname.

[nepotis]

yeah, I know what a nickname is.

how'd you meet this I.M. guy?

[monomachy]

When I first arrived about a month ago. We were cleaning up the wreckage of the city and he was showing me how to use the phone.

[nepotis]

sounds like a real helpful guy.

maybe you should ask him to show you how to avoid wrong numbers.
