She had been about eight years old or so during the Battle of New York - she had been away at boarding school during it, but she did remember the videos and pictures of New York burning. By the time she had returned home from school, almost all of the damage to Stark Tower had been fixed - and it had definitely been finished up before the one year anniversary of the attack. But here, it was clear that that hadn't happened. Guin knew that this Tony had died - or rather, been scattered in between universes - but still... Her breath hitched in her throat slightly, seeing her home like this - imagining what her life would've been like if her father had never come home. She heard Pietro's voice via their telepathic rapport, and she nodded. Guin cleared her throat slightly. [color=cc33ff]"Hey JARVIS, it's me, ya girl,"[/color] Guin called out, hoping that the AI was still functioning. JARVIS ran the house at this point in time, if Guin remembered correctly.

She couldn't hear where the voice had come from, and she could only guess that it was JARVIS. No one had been here in ages, so she had to guess that maintenance on JARVIS just hadn't been kept up on. That almost made her as sad as learning her father's fate - JARVIS had been one of the people to raise her, it was like finding out that Happy or Pepper had been abandoned in the tower and withered away from inattention. [color=cc33ff]"If that's you, run a diagnostic - and divert extra resources towards improving your audio quality, it's shit,"[/color] Guin asked.

Things were a little bit better, but not enough. She still had no idea what JARVIS - if that were really him - was saying. She'd have to try something else. There was an access terminal along the wall and Guin walked up to it, tapping it with her finger to wake it on up. She hoped that it would just immediately recognize her, as this had been her home and she should be in the system - and luckily, the terminal seemed to be accessible. [color=cc33ff]"No security footage, damn,"[/color] Guin muttered under her breath, going through menus and logs. She did mange though to key in the sequence to reboot JARVIS. [color=cc33ff]"Wakey wakey, JARVIS. Need you to tell me what's happened here - in a language I can understand, preferably."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#a81a75]Runa Baldurdattir[/color] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/52Nr16y2/original.gif[/img][/b][/h3][hr][b][color=#a81a75]Location:[/color][/b] Stark Tower [b][color=#a81a75]Skills:[/color][/b] [hr][hr][/center] Runa had used the sling ring to transport them all to Stark Tower, and it seemed like people fell into natural pairings to investigate. Guin was with Pietro, Bethany was with Klara, and it looked like Mary might've been leaning towards going with Edus. Runa knew that meant she was supposed to go with Lance, and while ordinarily she wouldn't have had a problem with it, right now seeing him was only bringing out feelings of hopelessness and despair in her. It hurt to see him without his memories, looking at her like she was a stranger to him, that she didn't matter, that she was unimportant. He was standing off by himself near the windows, seemingly content to be alone. Runa bit her lip. She was tempted to go off by herself to investigate, but she also didn't dare leave him alone. But she also didn't want to be the one babysitting him at the moment, as that was only painful. She cleared her throat slightly. [color=#a81a75]"Lance, would you... would you mind assisting me in the search?"[/color] Runa asked him. Her tongue felt swollen, but she managed to not stumble too much over those words. She cast a glance in Edus' direction, and if he caught her gaze, he would be able to tell that Runa was in distress - and in need of some help.
