"Feathers!" The Avenger greets the succubus as she walks through the portal with Stephen into a crowd of people. "Glad your owner finally let you off your leash," he says, giving a mild glare in Stephen's direction. The sorcerer sighs in annoyance and shakes his head.
"Yeah, about that. Why am I here exactly?" Ren asks out of curiosity as she looks around her. The patrons are what Ren can only describe as having the appearance of rich snobs and high-ranking businessmen.
The venue is a sprawling penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the city skyline, illuminated by the setting sun. The decor is sleek and modern, with a touch of Stark's signature flair. Stark Industries' latest innovations are on display, from holographic interfaces to cutting-edge robotics, drawing the attention of many attendees.
A live jazz band plays in one corner, their music adding a sophisticated ambiance to the event. Waiters in crisp uniforms weave through the crowd, offering champagne and hors d'oeuvres on silver platters. There's a distinct buzz in the air, a mix of business talk and the clinking of glasses.
In the center of the room stands a large, illuminated Stark Industries logo, and beside it, a stage set up for presentations. A few attendees gather around interactive displays, engaging in animated discussions about the potential of Stark's latest technology.
Off to one side, there's a more relaxed lounge area with plush leather sofas and a bar serving a variety of top-shelf liquors. Here, some guests are engaged in more casual conversations, laughing and enjoying the evening.
Ren notices a few familiar faces from the superhero community mingling with politicians, tech moguls, and international dignitaries. It's clear that this isn't just any business party; it's a gathering of some of the most influential people in the world, all brought together by Tony Stark's charisma and genius.
"I have to say...this isn't exactly my scene," Ren says in confusion, and Tony nods.
"Yeah, that's an understatement. Anyway, I have some investors interested in the artificial Beskar we've been developing, but I wanted to show them the real deal," he explains, and Ren sighs.
"Right, okay, I-" she begins but chokes on her words as she feels Stephen turn up the vibrator's settings. She whips her head over to him and gives him a sharp glare, which he returns with a satisfied smirk on his face.
"You what? You good, Dog Breath?" he asks, and Ren rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, my Master is just being a dick," Ren mutters. Stark is silent for a moment before a sense of realization crosses his features and he glares over at the sorcerer.
