Uncomfortable Questions (Anya)
(Takes place around the same time as this scene.)


First, Matt Walker tried setting up an appointment with Anya Stark the old-fashioned way. He called, introduced himself and asked if he could speak to her on a matter of legal importance. When the person on the other end asked if he was a lawyer, and Matt said no, they hung up on him. The second day, he tried again, but pretended to be with one of those gossip magazines. They managed to trip him up rather easily and again, he was hung up on.

The third day, Matt went to the internet. While he couldn't find out exactly where she lived, he /did/ find out that her husband and father both lived in New York, and that her father's company, Stark Industries, was based out of New York. Of course, he couldn't very well wait around and hope she'd so up, and despite his magic, Matt was not interested in rousing Tony Stark's interest. The guy wasn't known to be sane on the best of days.

So it was that Matt concocted the scrying spell and used to it to find out where Anya was at just this moment. He was a New York native, after all, and managed to deduce her location from a few of the background buildings.

A little smooth-talking and a couple of illusions later and Matt was ready to Meet the Bartons.

"Let's hope the apple rolled far away from the crazy tree on this one." Matt mumbles to himself, adjusting his grip on his staff and pushing his hat back on his head. His duster looked appropriately badass for this encounter, though he expected no trouble.
