hey rogersalt capyounger looking steve captain it's the other stark thought i'd finally come introduce myself quasi-formally [ via text. like an Adult™. ]
[ Seven years on from The Avengers fracturing and Steve is used to Tony Stark keeping his distance, so when another Iron Man assists with the extraction but doesn't stick around, Steve can only assume that he has his reasons.

[ There's a 50/50 chance he'll recognise the name attached to the message, so he goes ahead without explaining himself for now. ]
I have accommodation available if you need it. I'd strongly recommend accepting my offer over Arcardia's.

[ Thankfully Tony gave him a heads up, or he'd be asking if this was the infamous magician Strange. Maybe not in those exact words. ]
I appreciate you taking us in on such short notice.

[ And the inclination to keep the Avengers as clear of the Alliance's new shining city as they can be, as soon as they can be. ]
Will I be collecting you with Stark, or can I expect some co-ordinates?
