"Mr. Stark? Mr. Stark?" Peter called out as they entered the compound. Lyra had figured that being a vigilante, Peter probably had some connections, however, she did not expect those connections to be Tony Stark. She marveled at the sight; she had always admired the architecture of Stark Industries. However, this compound was completely new to her. She had known that Stark had essentially packed up and left town, selling the Avengers tower to someone else, but she had never thought about where he ended up going.
"Hey, Happy!" Peter finally seemed to find someone that would help them, a gruff man who looked irritated the moment he heard the teenager's voice. How he had earned the name 'Happy,' Lyra had no idea. "Do you know where Mr. Stark is?"
The man sighed, jutting his chin in Lyra's direction, "Peter, who's this? You can't use your... internship to bring all your friends who wanna meet someone famous."
"She knows, don't worry!" Peter reassured, however, the man looked anything but secure once he said that. "We need Mr. Stark's help. Like, bad. Please, Happy?"
He looked at Peter for a while, his eyes flicking over to Lyra before motioning for them to follow him. "You know, kid, you really need to learn to keep your trap shut. No one was supposed to know and how many know now?"
"Just two!" the teenager whined, defending himself. Lyra fell into step behind them, feeling small in this place that was so huge and filled with people. "Besides, she found out by accident, but I would have rather had her find out then... yeah, it's a long story. Still, she's really good at keeping secrets, trust me. Right, Lyra?"
The girl chuckled, nodding as Peter looked back at her, "Yeah, yeah, I'm good at secrets."
"You better be," Happy sighed as he led them into a room where Tony Stark was discussing something with people who looked like they were just students, Pepper Potts by his side. As soon as the door opened and he saw Peter, though, he dismissed the people he was with, leaving just them in the room.
"Hey, kid, how'd you get up here?" Tony asked. "Who's this?"
"This is Lyra, she's cursed and we need your help," Peter explained in a rush, "Um, we need access to all your research on alien artifacts. Preferably missing ones, if you can. It's kind of a long story. Uh, Lyra?"
"No, I'm pretty sure you explained all of it," she added with a small smile as she stepped up to stand next to Peter, "Uh, nice to meet you, Mr. Stark, sorry to barge in here like this, I didn't even know Peter knew you, let alone... yeah."
