A large lighted stage rest towards the center of the Expo. Loud music can be heard as with many of the presentations and the stage is lighted blue. Large sleek metal tanks are lined up in a criss crossed fashion. A large audiance is gatherd around murmmering. They had heard that the up and comming buisnesss man Vince Shaw was going to be making a presentation here at the stage.
Vince stood back stage and smirked. He wore a bright white suit with a gold vest underneath it. The suit was whiter then normal and his golden blond hair shone brightly under the lighting.
"Here I go.",he breathed and strolled out onto the stage confidently.
He waves an arm at the crowd in greetings and the crowd starts cheering and getting loud. A lot of screams can be heard from woman who know him simply for his looks. Vince had been on a lot of magazine covers and on a lot of Television Programms. Even if you didnt know anything about technology or wepons you know him by his looks.
Vince blew kisses to the audiance in grand gestures and walked down to the front of the stage kneeling and shaking people's hands like a rockstar. After a few minutes of this he turned and wlked to the center of the stage.
"Hey!",he said, warmly and the audiance began to quiet down.
"Let me just start by saying that I am honored to be here.",he said his voice magnified over the headset he wore.
"I mean I never thought I would be giving a presentation at my very own Idol's presentation. Let's give a round for the great Tony Stark everyone!",he said waving the crowd on as he talked. Aloud uproar started as he let the crowd chant Tony Stark's name and he clapped along with them.
"He really is an innovater isnt he?",he said with a genioune smile.
After a few minutes he resumed his speech.
"I am here to help usher in a new era of technology. Technology that will change lives.",he began as he held up a hand to draw silence. They crowd hushed instantly and waited for him to continue.
"As you walk through the expo you will see several booths set up by Shaw Industries. Their you can test out new technoligies and some amazing free samples.",he said with a wink.
"These gadgets and gizmoes will help make everyday life much easier and revolutionize the way we go to war. I hope that you will all enjoy are presentations and I hope to see you all out on the show floor!",with that Vince blew some more kisses to the crowd before strolling off stage and into the back of the stage.

Sylvia had been getting a little stir-crazy back at the mansion, so she had decided to go out by herself. She didn't mind doing these kinds of things by herself. She figured that she would visit the expo, just to visit it. But she couldn't do that looking like her usual self, she wouldn't get anywhere without having to sign a million autographs. So she had adopted a sort of disguise, and so far everyone had been fooled by it so far. She was wearing a sort of goth outfit, she had even gone as far as to clip in neon-colored extensions in her hair. Her lips where covered in pale lipstick, and she had on black eyeliner. As for her outfit, she was wearing a sort of corset top and skinny jeans, with boots to top it off. She thought this was kind of fun, she was just another face in the crowd.
While Vince was giving his speech, Sylvia was wandering around the edges of the crowd, paying much more attention to the booths than to Vince. She figured that she would take a look at what he had, and she might even learn something. She was constantly listening to Pete's explanations about technology and such, and this all was new to her. It was nice to hear about a new perspective once and a while.
She found herself drawn towards a fight simulator, it was being marketed as a sort of video game. She smirked. Those holographic enemies looked too easy to beat, compared to the ones that she had been training with back at the mansion. After about ten minutes of waiting in line, it was her turn to try. She put on the gloves that went with the game, and it started. She was right, it was all too easy for her. Already she had a higher score than the guy that had gone before her. He had bragged about it but was now staring at her with wonder. Was she drawing too much attention to herself? Sylvia didn't care, she was having too much fun.

Alex stood in a corner and watched Vince as he gave his speech. When it was over Alex looked around. There were alot of people and it made her feel a bit nervous. She was worried that someone would noitice her wings that she had tryed to hide under her jacket. It was realy uncomfortable and her wings were starting to hurt but she ignored it.
Alex looked at some of the booths but lost intrest in them quickly and just walked around. She stoped to read some signs every once in a while or listen to the people talking about the new technology. She eventualy ended up standing by a wall and started people watching.

Brian had arrived wearing fatigues, which had been cleaned, and had his usual Mohawk which was standing at about two and a half inches. He had found some booth to stand by about weapons in development; it took him only a few minutes to familiarize himself about each weapons use and potential downfalls. The everyday gadgets didn’t interest Brian for long so he soon found his way back to the display for the weapons.
Since Brian kept an eye on his surroundings he noticed things about people, like the man who kept looking over at a woman or how that same woman was with another man, the woman setting a new high score in the hand to hand simulator or the other woman that had some strange bulge under her jacket. Trouble was that Brian was counting on no one looking back at him so he was never very subtle. He stared too long at Alex, even though he didn’t know who she was, because he was trying to figure out what was under the jacket that normally wouldn’t be there.

Alex was haveing fun just staying in the corner people watching. She would sometimes laugh when ever she saw some lady almost trip because of their high heals. After a while alex started to get the feeling that someone was watching her. She decided that she would step out side for some air, and to let her wings out for a bit befor the pain killed her.
She wove threw the crowd of people and went out a door,hopeing that if someone was watching her she lost them in the crowd of people. She walked along the side of the building till she found a quiet spot were no one was around. She took off her jacket and streched out her wings. She sat down and let the sun warm them up, witch didnt take long sence her wings were black.

The woman started to leave and Brian was about to let it go but he decided to be sure rather than regret it later. He rolled his eyes from annoyance with himself and followed after the woman. She was good at weaving through the crowds and Brian lost her a couple of times but would see her again and catch up. She slipped out a door and about a minute later Brian used the same door.
He saw her walk along the side of the building and disappeared around a corner. Brian followed and peeked around the same corner, there she was, sitting on a bench and stretching her wings. That explains the bulging under the jacket, Brian thought to himself. He almost went back inside but something in him wouldn’t let him just walk away after seeing the secret she was trying to keep. Brian pulled a partially smoked cigar from one of his pockets and lit it as he walked over. The spark of the flint on the lighter announced his presence before he started to talk, “Couldn’t help but notice the most striking thing about you,” he puffed his cigar a couple times to get it lit all the way which also let Alex have enough time to start feeling self-conscious, “hazel eyes,” he closed his zippo and put it in a pocket, “don’t see near enough of those on a lady.” Brian makes eye contact with Alex and then offers his right hand to shake, “I’m Brian Hall, how ya doing?”

Alex jumped when she heard someone talking. She quickly turned to see a man walking tward her. Alex brings her wings closer to her suddenly wishing she never took her jacket off. She heard him say his name was Brian Hall. She never head that name befor and was a little worryed about talking to a stranger.
" I'm Alex." she said and shook his hand. " Im shure there are pleanty of people with hazel eyes." she said still feeling a bit uncomfortable talking to a person she didnt know.
Alex let her wings relax again, letting the sun warm them and help make them stop hurting. Alex sighed, she couldnt go anywere and not worry about her wings being seen or knocking things over. And there seemed to be a lot of stuff to break in the building, and alot of people who might see her wings and make fun of her.

“Not near enough in my opinion,” Brian said with a serious tone before he dragged on the cigar again, “I don’t mean to alarm you but,” Brian said the next part in a whispered and joking way, “You seem to have wings.” Brian smiled and continued, “I’m just kidding with you. Come on, don’t be so serious about yourself, I can ******** off if I’m making you uncomfortable.” Brian thumbed over his shoulder as he offers to leave. “It’s just you look like you could use a friend."

" You can stay... Its just realy hard to trust people." She said and looked down at the grass. Alex was feeling lonely and someone to talk to would be nice. Plus he didnt seem bothered by her wings like most people. Then she started to wonder if he was the peson she felt was watching her earilyer.

“Yeah,” Brian said as he sat down, “people suck.” He took one more drag on the cigar and tapped the ash out on the bottom of his boot and put the now extinguished cigar back into his pocket. “Who people are and aren’t ain’t nothin’ to me, I think I’ve only ever been impressed with two people ever. One of ‘em is Tony Stark and the other is Vince Shaw. That’s nothin’ though.” Brian rolled his head back and looked at the sky for a moment.
Brian smirked at the sky then said to Alex, “I’m pretty sure you didn’t come here to listen to Mr Shaw nor look at all the gizmos and gadgets his company is producing, so, what brings you to Stark Expo?”

Vince walked down the backstaris of the stage. His black and gold dress shoes clicking agiasnt the ground.
He walked through the crowd observing people as they went.
A few woman stopped him and asked for auto-graphs.
He was used to this and gave the woman warm smiles and auto-graphs as well as stopping for a few pictures.
A small crowd cuaght his eye as he was walking by. He wonderd what was ging on and he saw a young woman playing the new video game they had put out on the show floor.
"Excuse me.",he mutterd as he pushed his way through the crowd.
He stopped behind sylvia as he noticed the people watching her. She was dominating the new game they had put out.
He glanced at her and could automaticly tell she was a mutant.
It was just something that showed on the base level of Dna that his telepathic mind could trace.
"Well now isn't someone excited about our new game?",he whisperd in her ear behind her.

Sylvia was so into her game that she almost punched Vince in the face thinking he was part of it. She had already started swinging when she noticed that he wasn't and stopped. "Jeez, you know that I almost knocked your block off there, I don't think-"
It was then that she noticed who he was. Why was this man talking to her? Had she been recognized? She lost her concentration and her game ended. The people that where next in line looked determined to beat her score. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." even though The fight sims back at the mansion are much harder... well, this one wasn't meant for Avengers I guess
Sylvia was staring at him, trying to figure him out. It was difficult. "Hmmm, I got the highest score yet today. Beginer's luck, I guess." She didn't like how he had ust snuck up on her, but she tried not to seem so startled. If she did, or seemed too nervous, he might notice that she wasn't what she seemed. She still wanted to experience this just as a normal person, and if anyone would blow that chance it would be this guy.

Vince chuckled as his gaze drifted over her subtly.
He removed his shades and put them in the pocket of his pale yellow dress shirt before striaghting out his jacket.
He wasnt to startled by her reaction. Though his body had begun the conversion process of her kinetic energy already. He felt a small drain of energy when she stopped the motion.
'She seems familer.',he thought suddenly.
"Hrm...You'll have to forgive me for the simpleness of the game. It's still in beta stage. I suppose anyone useud to fighting could beat it.",he shrugged his shoulders lightly as his blue eyes reflected the holograms.
"So how are you liking my showcase?",he asked a bit flirtatiosly as he gestured around the grand showroom.
'Why is she so familer?',he couldnt just wrap his brains around it. But he knew he's seen her somewhere.

" I was just wondering around and decided to stop and see what the Expo was about." Alex said. " It looked kinda interesting so i figured i would check it out."
Alex played with the jacket she was holding on to. Not realy sure what to talk about. " Why did you come to the Expo?" Alex asked.

Sylvia figured that any normal person would be very impressed with everything here. She had seen so many other impressive things at the mansion, she was kind of immune to feeling awed by technology now. She wasn't quite used to it still, but she would get used to it after a while.
"Oh, it's great! There are so many things that I haven't ever heard about." lie "I can't even begin to think how most of the things here work" another lie. Even though she didn't understand half of what Pete said most of the time she got some of it. "Like I said before, begininer's luck. I'm sure people beat it all the time." She smirked. This was kind of fun, she hadn't thought that lying to someone this important would be so easy for her, but it was.
