The blind man shrugged as he pulled his shirt back over his head. "I'm not entirely sure," he admitted, wincing. "But we are in New York, and the Avenger Tower isn't very far from here. Only a bus ride away," he added. "But they should have some weapons and raw materials, or something along the lines of what you're talking about. I could get in. Maybe. And I know a guy that can get us a Buick really cheap." He paused. "Wait, why do you need the Buick? Are you gong to try and time travel with it?"

(so sorry omg the girls wanted to do stuff with me)
"The Buick was a joke," Robo informed him, but he was actually halfway serious. As he'd said before, cars were great melee weapons- the very best, in fact. "You'd need a DeLorean to time travel anyway," he added reflexively. Then he realized that wasn't such a bad idea- if it was possible to time travel with whatever the heck a flux capacitor was and a chunk of plutonium. "But what's at this Avengers Tower? Would they help? I'm not stealing. I don't do that." He checked his pockets, pulling them inside out and finding nothing. "I don't have any money on me either," he mused.

Matt took another long swig from his can of beer before he answered the robot. "Well, have you seen them before? I know the head guy, Stark, has to have tons of weapons. He owns a weapon company," he explained. "Since the Tower is their base of operations, it's got to be stocked with who knows what." He laced his fingers together before continuing, "And you don't have to steal. I will. I'm good at what I do; nobody will be able to tell who broke in."
(Don't worry bout it! Make that money bruh)

"I'm guessing these Starks dont exist where I'm from," Robo said flatly. "We're not stealing. I wouldn't be opposed to breaking in- if they're evil and kill people for no reason, but nobody in their right mind would let them have a whole building if that's what they do." He explained, crossing his arms. "This is 2015. They'll have security measures up and down anyway; will they help us?" He repeated.

"Oh. Right," the blind man mumbled, his sightless gaze dropping to the floor. "And they're not evil. They help people, but they can easily replace what I'll take. They're loaded." Matt paused, and then cleared his throat. "Well, it's more Stark that's the rich one. And I'm not sure. I don't know if they really know or trust me."
(So sorry--I typed this and then forgot to post it *facepalm)

Robo hummed thoughtfully. "Stark..." He muttered..."I think they might actually exist, now that I think about it," he said, snapping his fingers in a 'eureka!' or sorts. "Or I met one in Word War II. He was a pilot, I think. I remember...his son came to work for Tesladyne at one point, but he quit, not sure why. His name was Anthony, if I'm not wrong." He ran through that in his head again and nodded. "He probably quit because of the vampire invasion. Yeah, that was probably it."

Matt blinked in surprise at the mention of the vampires, but tried to play his feelings off. "Yeah," he said, "He goes by Tony now though. You should know of him, because his alias is Iron Man." He pulled out his phone, and commanded the voice search to find pictures of the man in the elaborate suit. He extended the phone out to Robo once he was sure the phone had done the search, so he could see the pictures. "It seem's like his suit is pretty evenly matched to you alone," he chuckled, grinning lightheartedly. "But this is the weapons guy. He owns the tower."

"Oh! Weapons! Armor! Sounds like a less evil Helsingard," Robo said, with a markedly happier tone. He took the phone and examined the few pictures he could see on the page without scrolling. There was one of Stark outside the suit, in which he looked vastly different from the Anthony Robo had met at Tesladyne. He spotted some stylized facial hair and had crisp, short hair and something blue glowing in his chest, which seemed to correspond to a similar light on his Iron Man suit. The resemblance to the mild mannered, timid Anthony was present despite the smirk on Tony's face. "Well," Robo said, handing the phone back, "I say we try the friendly approach first and avoid stealing until never. Got a jacket I could possibly ruin?"

The blind man started to rise from his chair, grabbing his beer as he stood. "Whatever you say, Robo," Matt quietly grumbled. He knew the robot's approach, most likely, was not going to work. Why on earth would these guys be willing to give out weapons of mass destruction to people they didn't even know about? It seemed absurd to the lawyer, who tended to think more on the realistic side. "And I do. Would you prefer something like a windbreaker or a suit jacket?" He internally wondered if he needed to shower and change, since he had run around for a bit, and decided he would rinse off after he found Robo a jacket.

"Something with a hood," Robo responded, and idly wondered if it was going to get destroyed like ninety percent of his shirts did. He knew the idea of walking up to this Tower asking for weapons- or materials to build them- was a bit crazy, but there was another image he'd seen on Matt's phone; it was one of Stark posing in the suit with several other people, including a patriotic man with a shield, a caped guy with a hammer, a guy with a bow and a photoshopped muscle-bound green guy, not to mention the brooding woman off to the side who reminded him of the Sparrow from the 1940s. Oh, and the image also had the words "THE AVENGERS" on it, complete with a stylized A logo. Robo would say that was a superhero team-up if he ever saw one (he hadn't, and no, the Science Team Super 5 did not count). If they were anything like the superheroes of the comic books he read, they might be willing to help- or at least they'd be used to this kind of insanity. A blind man who called himself Daredevil seemed like a superhero enough to Robo, and Matt had already decided to help him. It was worth a shot. Was it worth it to hope the jacket Matt loaned him wouldn't get ruined? Probably not.
