Cam is out flying. There's a decent cloud of atmosphere around the gold plane, now, millenia of demons making air around themselves for comfort and not sealing it up because why would you bother. There's a small forest, here - the effect is kind of ruined by the lamps it has to grow under, but it's still pretty.

"The kitchen is downstairs," he says. "Will you be using the stairs or the lift?"

The elevator doors are open when he gets there; Jarvis lets him off on the ground floor, then says, "End of the hall to your right."

There are many types of bowls in that cupboard over there! Also chairs at the kitchen table, if he would like to sit down while he soups.

He gets a bowl, and now it is full of tomato soup and a triangle of grilled cheese sandwich with no crust, and he sits down and dunks the sandwich in the soup contently.

"In the sink, please. I also have some unfortunate news to deliver. While Sherlock was in New York, he discovered that the car crash that killed Tony's parents was engineered by a family friend. Tony is not handling the news well; you might not see much of him today."

Cam to-do-lists. He opens the window and makes another batch of bees to break up the monotony. He asks Jarvis the occasional question about whether and how magic has interacted with the suspiciously matchy history of this world.

And then, only an hour or two later:

Someone who looks an awful lot like Tony opens the door and enters. He also looks a little tired.
"Hello," he says, not in Tony's accent.

"Correctly deduced. I'd say pleased to meet you, but I am not pleased about very much today."

"Yeah, Jarvis told me there was a displeasing bit of news going around on top of the unexpected daeva."

"Yes. To complicate matters further, the man who had Tony's parents killed is currently running Tony's company for him pending Tony's eventual completion of an engineering degree. I've no doubt he's going to try the obvious follow-up if he can't get Tony to give up the company any other way."
