"Steve? You're here?" Tony asks, playing dumb and pretending to be in shock. He hoped Steve caught on to what he was doing. Fortunately, Steve realized quickly what Tony was doing.

"I could ask you the same thing Stark. Why are you running around with these guys?" Steve scowls. The two Japanese green clansmen were in too much shock to properly react to the conversation.

"Why are you sticking your nose into my business? I could ask the same as you, since you're obviously apart of the red clan," Tony retorts.

"Fury sent me to investigate. You've been gone for much longer than normal and we wanted to make sure you're alright," Steve says.

"Well obviously I'm fine. But I'm shocked you actually joined a clan," Tony says. Before Steve could respond, Yukari had snapped out of his state of shock.

"You know this man Tony? And he was my attacker?" Yukari says. His eyes flash dangerously. "I hope you aren't working together. It would be a shame to lose such a valuable member."

"Trust me, we're currently not working together. Normally we do but it would seem like we're on opposing sides this time," Tony says.

"Tony, you're helping the wrong people!" Steve says, exasperated.

"You don't know that. For all you know, you could have been tricked," Tony defends. Sukuna finally recovers. His scythe was out now.

"Well, regardless of you two knowing each other, we need to apprehend him! Especially since he's a Red!" Sukuna shouted, much too eager to fight Steve and make him pay for the humiliation that the super soldier had forced upon the green clansmen.

"Agreed Sukuna," Yukari says, his sword now in hand. Steve wished he had his shield but knew he needed to get out of there fast. Deciding to take the first attack, Steve throws an Aura powered punch at Tony, catching him off-guard. Steve follows up with a swift kick towards Sukuna and Yukari, causing the two to back up in order not to be hit. Seeing his chance to escape, knowing it would be unwise to stay and fight this time, Steve books it away from the alley. He hears Tony's jets and knows that Tony has recovered and was now going to be searching for him. The super soldier looks around for a place to duck into and spots an even smaller alleyway and ducks into it, hoping that Tony would miss him. He jumped a bit when Neko appeared in cat form but relaxed when he realized it was only Neko. After not being able to hear the jets, Steve picks up Neko and he starts running back to HOMRA.

Tony returns to Yukari and Sukuna with a shake of his head. After a quick debate on whether or not to let Tony into the apartment, Yukari and Sukuna decided that it would be safest to keep Tony with them in case Steve showed up again with HOMRA. Tony understood that he was getting a privilege of seeing Nagare before becoming rank J, and kept his mouth shut for once. This was information he needed to gather to help the others out. He follows the two into the building and had almost forgot about the bird, Kotosaka, only to be reminded when said bird landed on Yukari's shoulder. After a painful and awkward silence up the elevator, Tony is admitted to the room that Yukari, Sukuna, Nagare and one additional person shared. Tony exits his suit before properly entering the room.

"Ah mister Stark. A pleasure to meet you in person. You must understand that this is very unusual, but given the circumstances, I approved Yukari's and Sukuna's decision to let you stay with us," Nagare says. Tony nodded in understanding. He took in Nagare's looks and was honestly surprised to see him in a wheelchair.

"Well it's nice to meet you in person. And not to be the stereotypical rude American, but who are you?" Tony says, turning his attention to a man dressed in grey. The man stands up.

"I am Tenkei Iwafune. This secret can never leave the room but I am the Sixth and Gray King," the man, Tenkei answered. Tony filed that information away for now.

"Wonderful! So now that we have all of this information, what's our plan of attack? Cause I can tell you, Steve is probably going to try to get all of HOMRA to march on this spot," Tony says.

"Well, that's what we are going to discuss," Nagare answers. He motions for Tenkei and Tony to sit and the two sit down and get comfortable.

~ At HOMRA ~

Steve arrives outside of HOMRA, still holding Neko. He was breathing was a bit labored due to having sprinted almost the entire way from the apartments back to the bar. He pushes the doors open and everyone looks to him and Neko. Neko hops out of Steve's arms and transform back into her human form, causing Steve to have to look away. He only looked up when Nat told him that Neko was covered.

"So since Stark isn't with you.. Things didn't go well?" Bruce asks.

"It's all my fault! I was wondering why Steve was taking so long so I went to get a better look and I got startled and dropped the illusion," Neko says, clearly upset for messing up.

"It's alright Neko. Things were going south anyways," Steve says, hoping to make the Strain feel better. He opens his arms up and Neko launches herself into Steve's arms, tears falling. He rubs the Strain's back in a soothing manner until Neko slowly calmed down. Neko quietly thanks Steve before going to sit by Kuroh and Shiroh

"So what happened to Stark?" Yata pipes up, after Neko had calmed. He voiced the question that had everyone curious. Steve explains what happened after the illusion dropped. When he had finished, everyone took a moment to mull over the information that they were just given. Now that Tony would not be able to report to them easily, HOMRA, Scepter 4, White Rice Party and the Avengers had to come up with a plan without the intel they would have had from Tony.
