Notes: Hey!

Here we are again.

Wow, I am so surprised by all the positive answer, despite posting so little in the first chapter. (I solved this now, promise! hahaha)
Thank you so much for the support and I hope you keep enjoying this with me.

I re-posted the first chapter, now beta-d by my friend October Ashes. Now is my turn to post this without being properly checked. One of this days I will do it in the right order... u.u'

Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

Darcy yawned once more and stumbled another step. Man, what a day. And it hadn't even really started.

Jane had had a burst of inspiration at fucking four o'clock in the morning –also known as an orgasm, Darcy thought – and had been working since. She was kind enough to wake up Darcy at 5. Please, note the sarcasm.

The thing was Jarvis was AWOL. That was, by far, the weirdest thing happening in the house.

Jane, bless her heart, hadn't even noticed until she tried to get Jarvis to wake Darcy up and he wouldn't answer. Then she went to knock on Darcy's door, because she was worried.

Darcy was too. Jarvis was infallible. What could have possibly happened?

So she was going to Tony's lab, because that was where Jarvis had to be. Right?

She opened the door and looked inside Tony's lab. And then she screamed.

Because there was a naked blonde dude on the floor.

Jane came running, saw the naked blonde dude and screamed as well. "Who's that?" She asked.

"I have no idea." Darcy said, still kind of scared. "How did he get in here?"

"Nice butt." Jane observed.

"Jane!" Darcy gasped, then checked the evidence. "OK. True enough."

"What do we do?" Jane asked, and now that the initial surprise had passed, she looked way less shocked than she ought to be.

"What do you think? We call the spandex crew, before this guy decides to do the wiggle dance!"

"What is the wiggle?" Jane asked, completely missing the point.

"Google it." Darcy rolled her eyes. "Jarvis, are you here with us? Can you hear me?"

"Stop that! You sound like a crazy psychic." Jane chided.

The naked blonde dude moaned and moved.

"Oh my God! Where is my taser when I need it?" Darcy cried.

"Sir? Are you okay?" Jane asked. "Sir?"

"Miss Lewis? Dr. Foster?" He called confused.

"You know us?" Jane was also really confused.

"Of course I do, Dr. Foster." He replied primly. "I do not think I am functioning properly."

That way of speaking, that accent, that voice… Darcy could recognize it anywhere!

"Jarvis?" She called in shock.

The man stood in all his –absolute- glory. Six pack, very pale skin and… Oh well.

"Yes, miss Lewis?" He replied automatically.

Jane's eyes became saucers.

"Holy shit!" Darcy exclaimed. "Jane, go get Tony. Now!"

Jarvis did not feel okay. Whatever that meant for normal humans.

Human. Now he was…

"Are you okay, Jarv?" Darcy asked worriedly.

"I don't know how to answer that, miss Lewis." He replied honestly.

After Dr. Foster had left the lab running, Jarvis finally started to realize what was wrong, piece by piece. There was this… Well, "feeling" was probably the word he was looking for. His hearing and speaking systems seemed to me malfunctioning and his vision was reduced to a single angle. His main system seemed to be overloading.

"Miss Lewis, what is wrong?" Jarvis had to ask, since he couldn't access the SI database.

"Jarvis, don't freak out." She said biting her lower lip. "We will figure it out."

"Figure what out?" He asked.

"Look down." She said.

And he did. He saw feet, legs, a… Well, anyway. That was when he realized that he was attached to that body.

"Jarvis…"

"I have a body?" Was that shock on his own voice?

"Yes, and it is pretty hot." She offered jokingly.

"I have a body." He repeated.

"Oh my… You better sit." Darcy said, helping him to do that. She also threw her sweater on his lap.

And this is where he still was, with Darcy kneeling by his side.

"Jarvis, are you feeling something?" She asked again. Darcy was starting to get worried.

Wow. Jarvis had a – smoking hot – body. He was blonde, blue eyed and looked so British that Darcy wanted to hug the hell out of him.

He was also very pale and the girl wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not.

"I don't know how to explain that, as well, Miss Lewis." He said. "I never had a body before."

"Yey! There he is. The snarky Jarvis we all love." She smiled softly. "Let's go piece by piece. How is your heart?"

Jarvis closed his eyes and put his hand over his chest. He could feel the beating under the skin. He had a beating heart.

"It is a bit fast." He remembered the normal rates for all the time he had to monitor Tony's heartbeat. "But it is still within what is acceptable, considering this is a stressful situation."

Darcy laughed.

"Good. And your breathing?"

He kept his eyes closed. "I can feel my lungs feeling with air. Normal function."

"What about your head? Does it hurt?"

"I believe I feel something, I just don't know what it is called." He said a bit frustrated.

"I will help you out." Darcy said brightly. Then pinched him on his shoulder.

"Hey!"

"That is pain." She said smiling. "And this is soothing." She rubbed the same spot gently.

"I don't feel either." He said.

"Maybe you feel dizzy?" She suggested. "Like your head is spinning." She made a rotating motion with her index finger, demonstrating the idea.

Jarvis thought for a second. "Yes, maybe that."

"Okay. I think you are fine. Bruce can check you when they get here."

Jarvis looked at his hands. He had skin, now he could feel things like pain, cold, warmth.

"It is going to be okay." Darcy seemed so sure of it. "We are going to help you. Tony is going to help you."

Like his name called him, Tony came running into the room. He was in sweats, hair rumpled and it was obvious he had just awoken. Pepper and Jane were right behind him.

The billionaire looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Jarv?" He called. "Is that really…"

"Good morning, sir." Jarvis replied. "I am sorry, but I seem to be unable to show you the news today."

Pepper gasped and covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes filled with tears. Tony was frozen in his place.

The rest of the team arrived following Thor.

"What is going on?" Steve wanted to know.

"Jarvis is alive." Tony murmured.

All the eyes turned to the naked guy sitting on a chair with a sweater on his lap and Darcy by his side.

"This is impossible." Bruce said.

"I guarantee you, doctor Banner, it is quite possible." Jarvis replied.

"Holy shit!" Clint exclaimed. "Holy shit, that is Jarvis!"

"How did this happen?" Natasha wanted to know.

"Loki…" Thor murmured. "That relic…"

Everybody turned to look at the vault. It was still locked.

"Tony, we need to check it." Steve said.

But Tony was still frozen, looking at Jarvis.

"Tony?" Pepper put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He answered absent-minded, then he walked to Jarvis. "You are alive. You have a body."

"Very observant on your part, sir." Jarvis replied.

"Holy…" Tony didn't finish his sentence before throwing his arms around Jarvis neck.

"Well, that would be a lot cuter if Jarvis wasn't naked." Darcy observed.
