"Tony, I think this is a terrible idea," Robin stated as she walked into his time machine, he'd just finished, "If it works, you don't even know where you'll send me to or how I'll get back," she added in a whine.
Tony waved off her concern, "Have I ever steered you wrong in my experiments? Don't worry so much."
Robin rolled her eyes before she replied, "I guess just do what you're gonna do and hopefully I'll see you again someday."
Tony sent a wink her way before he initiated his machine and then Robin's vision was obscured by a surround of bright lights.
The lights around Robin finally faded away and she could see where she was. She started to look around and someone walked into the room where she'd appeared. Robin instantly recognized the face, "Agent Peggy Carter?" she asked.
"Do I know you?" she asked, her tone filled with surprise, "I don't remember you coming into Mr. Stark's home with us."
"Mr. Stark?" Robin asked, now equally confused.
"Yes," Peggy replied, "You are in Howard Stark's home. How did you get here?"
Robin laughed for a moment at the fact that she left Tony to end up with his father before she answered, "I was with Mr. Stark's son in the year 2017 where he created a time machine. He used me as his guinea pig and somehow managed to send me back to his Father's timeline. Is Howard here?"
Peggy furrowed her brow at this woman's explanation, "No, he's out on one of his many dates and he'll be back soon. What's your name and how did your Mr. Stark plan to return you to your time?"
"Out with a woman? Steve always said Howard was a real womanizer," Robin mused before she answered, "I'm Robin Miles and no, he did not have a plan to get me back so let's hope he figures out something before I somehow manage to mess up the timeline," she admitted.
"Steve?" Peggy asked, her heart skipping a beat as she said the name.
Robin nodded, not thinking at all, "Steve Rogers. You knew him didn't you…." and she let her voice fade as she finished and realized what she'd done.
"Steve is dead," Peggy stated, "He went down with Red Skull's plane and we were never able to find him."
"I must have been thinking of someone else," Robin tried to cover her screw up quickly with a lie.
"No, you didn't," Peggy replied but before she could continue, Howard walked in.
"I struck out if you can believe that," he announced as he entered the room and saw Robin, his eyebrows raised as he took her in, "Who is this?" he asked, turning on the Stark charm.
Peggy stared blankly at Robin for a moment, clearly deciding whether to tell him the truth or make something up. "She is a colleague of mine who's going to help me with the case so don't get any idea," she chastised before she looked back at Robin.
Howard grinned in a way Robin was already accustomed to, "I wouldn't dream of tampering with an agent of the SSR. However, if you need anything, Sweetheart, my bedroom is the last door down that hall," he said with a wink before he disappeared.
