[Public]

Mr. Stark has been taken down to Level Zero, and he'll remain down there for three days. Just so everyone's aware.

[Private to the Admiral]

I need all the alcohol removed from Mr. Stark's room, as well as anywhere else he's stashed it on the Barge. I'd also like an unmodified, non-Stark Industries wheelchair, please.

[Warden Filtered, minus Jean, Clint and Steve]

I lost the use of my legs in an accident approximately two months before I came to the Barge. Adjusting to life without them has been- [Awful, and honestly, he really hates giving all of you even this much information about it. He doesn't like talking about himself or how he feels about things, least of all the stuff that actively bothers him.] Difficult. When I first came to the Barge, it was with the promise that if I graduated an inmate, I would have full use of them restored, which, admittedly, [And there's some self depreciating humor in his voice at this.] must seem a bit selfish to most of you.

The point is, I don't know that I can wait until an inmate of mine graduates to be able to walk again, especially in light of [His voice sticks in his throat a little and he clears it awkwardly.] what happened, last port. And the fact that such events are just another factor of living here has made me start considering other alternatives, because I certainly don't have plans to leave. I have a few more things I'd like to ask the Admiral about that are a little less time sensitive and potentially dangerous before their resolution.

So, if anyone has information about technology or procedures or anything that would be able to help repair the damage, I'd appreciate being able to discuss it with you.

[Private to Ariadne]

I'd like to sincerely apologize for Mr. Stark's actions and assure you that it won't happen again.

[Private to Sara]

Mr. Barton's post apparently inspired Mr. Stark to get it in his head that drunkenly attacking your inmate with a weapon he was planning on making from cannibalized parts of my wheelchair was an excellent way to spent a Sunday evening. I'm working on coming up with incentive for him to avoid this sort of plot in the future, but I thought you should be informed.

[Private to Clint]

Mr. Barton? I'm Mr. Stark's warden. We should speak.

[Private to Natasha]

I don't know how much of what happened last night you've been made aware of, but I think I need to speak with you, regardless.

[Private to Steve]

I think we need to have a serious discussion about Mr. Stark.

[Private to Tony]

I'm going to be escorting you to Mr. Pinkman's support group from here on out. I've confiscated all the alcohol in your room, and once you've sobered up, we're going to have a serious talk about how to proceed moving forward.

[Private to Erik]

I need a fucking drink.

[ooc: So after Clint's post, this happened and then this happened, and then this happened, which led to further warden/inmate discussions in the previously linked post. Basically, Charles is furious with Tony, and he and Erik dragged him down to Zero.]

...He killed with my hands.

[And there's the heart of it.]

He said I killed one of the only people who actually thought I was worth a damn. One of two.

...I can stay away from the guy but..the last thing he said to me before showing up here was "You have heart" with that stick of his in his hands. I thought he was going to kill me but instead apparently he made me some kind of puppet.

[he slumps] I don't know who Stark even is beyond being a billionaire asshole. ...The idea that he'd want to attack a guy because of something I said for whatever reason..

When Mr. Stark and Loki first came on board, Loki decided to manipulate him by befriending him. Mr. Stark was from before the Avengers Initiative took place and didn't know Loki was someone he shouldn't trust, and I didn't either because he obviously wasn't in his file. He was angry he was trying to pull the same stunt with you.

[...Tony Stark. doing something...not involving half naked women and a sports car.

Clint is genuinely stunned. Directly connected or not.]

...That's a surprise.

[Deflated? Oh hell yeah.] He was right about it being a team effort I guess.

Which is why I'd appreciate it if you avoided - accidentally or not - sabotaging his progress here in the future.

[Clint is about to protest Just what did I do? Except.]

...What do I need to know to keep him on the right track.

...Also from the way you're talking, i'm getting you're his warden. Which makes him an inmate. If he and Tasha both inmates that means...that the Cap and I are the only wardens from the group?

Yes. Agent Peggy Carter and Sergeant James Barnes are also here, from your world, but they're a fair bit behind you, and Ms. Potts - Mr. Stark's assistant - was here as well, for a short time and they're all wardens, but you're the only ones from "the Avengers" here as wardens. [He's not going to bother explaining that he and Erik are probably/maybe from his world too, since there's no reason he'd know them.]

Right now, my priority is keeping him away from alcohol. The pub staff knows he's not allowed in, I've told Captain Rogers that if there's any reason to suspect he has access to any to tell me immediately and try to get it away from it if you can.

see I know the guy drinks. that's...a topic of a lot of publicity. But I'll watch out for it.

[His dad drank. he knows these signs]

[The Marvel cast should really just form a my parent was a drunk support group, jeez.]

Thank you.

The next best thing you can do for him, honestly, is to get to know him and make him feel like he's got something worth going home to. Learn to be his teammate.

[DC PARENTS DIE. MARVEL PARENTS DRINK. Disney somewhere laughs at their pain and torment]

......This is Tony Stark.

...he owns the moon probably. I'm...

I don't...relate to people well. [Anymore. It is complicated]

[Well. Nat's parents are dead, Tony's parents are dead, Bucky's Steve's, Erik's, Charles'...]

I'm sure you'll learn to. It's unfortunately a rather prevalent part of being on the Barge.

...Joy.

[And then seriously] Am I going to be demoted for showing up on the network dressed for work?

No. Why?

Because in essence that's what I was doing.

[He snorts] all I wanted were some answers. I can't..

Sorry. It's a lot to take in. I grew up in a cheap circus. Stark's...a million times richer then I'll ever be. I honestly can't think of him getting...triggered and wanting to strike back over something like that.

Wealthy people can be hurt, too, Agent Barton.

...It's...

[He wants to give his name, almost.]

May I see him? When he's okay?

You're welcome to visit him whenever you want in Level Zero. I can't promise he'll be good company, but I won't stop you from checking up on him.

...I haven't actually been to zero yet. We talking standard detention cells circa military ships or...some kind of strange space...thing.

The door is warden locked, so you'll need your item to get in. There are about ten standard prison cells, an observation room for any wardens who wish to monitor their inmates for a period of time, and an interrogation room, all of which can also only be opened by a warden. His cell itself can only be opened by me.

Okay.

I'll go see him.

...Thanks.

You're welcome.
