"Type this, why aren't you typing what I'm say!"
"Because you haven't said anything yet", I snapped at him my hands at the ready to type.
"Okay, okay", he waved his hand at me. "Day eleven, test thirty seven, configuration 2.0; for a lack of a better option DUMMIE is still on fire safety", he said glaring at the robot
"Don't hit him again with it or he'll donate you", I yelled out to DUMMIE
"Okay, serious? Nice and easy", I nodded my ponytail hopping up and down to his words.
"Nice and easy", I repeated.
"I'm just gonna start off at 1 percent thrust capacity", I raised an eyebrow.
"Never took you as the safety type dad", I said realizing what I had called him. He didn't seem to notice because he was too busy shifting.
"One percent", he ordered giving me a look
"Okay one percent", I said. "Ready…in three…two…one", my heart fluttered from the pulse of energy and air that burst from the thrusters. I shot up from my chair watching him slowly hover for a while. I grinned wildly as he set back down on the ground with no injuries. "That's good", I said hopping up once in victory
"Okay, don't follow me around with that I feel like I'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously", he said pointing at DUMMIE. I rolled my eyes at his lack of enthusiasm to our hard work.
"Two percent now", I asked him and he shook his head.
"Two point five", I gave a shocked face before typing in the change. "At the ready…three…two…one", he shot up a little higher and spun a little. "Remember the balance", I yelled out to him over the thrusters. He floated away and towards the cars. I hopped up moving closer.
"Ohhh okay this isn't where I wanna be", he called out.
"Watch the Lamborghini", I cried out pressing my hand to my mouth in worry to the very expensive car. He floated away and toward the work space causing papers to fly off the table; I followed behind him in worry. He threw his hand up before going to close to the glass doors leading out the basement and then floated more toward me. I hopped back when he held up his hand to pause from getting to close to me. He was muttering to himself and I was slightly amused to his worried face; I rarely ever saw him worried but I guess getting thrown into cement walls the last couple days makes a guy cautious. "Bring your hands and legs closer together", I called out in suggestion. He did so making him pause in the air finally gaining some balance. He slowly began to descend back to the ground almost falling but catching himself. He turned to me after warning DUMMIE again.
"Yeah…I can fly", I smiled before rolling my eyes and falling into the chair from emotional exhaustion. "Get ready", he ordered me and I rolled my chair around to the desk placing my ear piece in with a nod. I could hear the hissing and connecting of metal behind me as he suited up.
"JARVIS you there", I heard him say.
"At your service sir", he answered back.
"Get ready Charlie, you and JARVIS will be monitoring stats", he said his voice more hollowed from his mask.
"Aye, Captain", I answered sarcastically. My heart was pounding in my chest to see him in his suit. I turned around in my chair and I gasped to the back of his suit. He twisted around and I waved at him. "That's so awesome!" I yelled to him.
"Alright, what's going on", he asked. I clicked on the screen and nodded.
"JARVIS uploaded and ready", I told him. His suit fluttered open before clicking together again.
"Prepare to suit down and check diagnostics", JARVIS informed him.
"Yeah, let's hold back on that", I blinked turning back around to see where he wanted to go.
"Tony, there's still terabytes of calculations that need to be done before-"
"Charlie, sometimes you gotta run before you can walk", he said calmly.
" I'm pretty sure I wasn't taught that", I retorted holding to my finger to my mouth in false pondering
"Charlie, just go to ready", he ordered. I sighed turning in my chair and typing.
"At the ready", I yelled to him behind me.
"Ready in…three…two…one", his thrusters flashed and he shot off through the drive thru yelling the whole way. My screens light up revealing everything he was seeing as he flew. "WOOO", he cried out his heart beat signaling to me on the side screen.
"How about applying a little balance to that flight now Captain", I yelled out sitting closer to the screens him spinning wildly. He was still too busy freaking out as he flew up into the sky. He finally balanced as he passed over the highway.
"JARVIS, what's the highest recorded altitude", I began to shake my head
"The record for highest altitude flight is eighty two feet sir", JARVIS informed him.
"Tony don't tell me you're thinking about going that high", I warned him.
"Alright, let's see what this can do", he said ignoring my warning. He rose higher and higher and my screen flashed red in warning my hands fluttering over the screen.
"You're gaining some ice here, if you don't return to safe altitude your power supply with crash", I told him shooting up in my chair too antsy to be sitting.
"Come on! Higher", he yelled out. My screens flashed redder and began beeping wildly at me. His sight went black on my screen and I lunged at the keyboard.
"JARVIS, give me full access to that suit and power supply now! I'm getting him back online", I yelled out tapping my ear piece and clicking wildly. Screen after screen popped up as I typed without hesitation.
"JARVIS! CHARLIE! Hello!" I could hear him yelling.
"HOLD ON DAD", I cried out entering more codes. "Break the ice, I repeat break the ice", I yelled out slamming my finger down on the enter key as the screen light up again revealing how close he was to the ground. He began laughing as he gained a safe altitude. I threw myself into my chair gasping for breath. "Are you crazy", I yelled out angrily.
"I'm fine, I'm fine", he said brushing off my anger
"Are you sure you're okay", I asked him my heart pounding in my chest from him almost making himself a pancake on cement.
"Yes, yes; I'll be home in a second", I grunted in return yanking the ear piece off to go get into my dress for the charity event I had to go to. I heard a loud crash a few times but I kept walking not wanting to deal with whatever else he just broke making me shake my head.
I shifted in my dress as I walked down the steps to see him holding the mask to his face watching the television.
"No one expects to see Mr. Tony Stark here tonight", the reporter said mentioning the charity event.
"JARVIS did we get an invite to that", he asked.
"Not in my records sir", he replied. My eyes ran to the screen behind him the MARK II now covered in fire truck red and gold.
"Wow, that suit will definitely keep a low profile", I said sarcastically making him yank the mask off. He blinked a few times before studying my dress.
"So you got an invite", he said and I nodded leaning on the wall crossing my arms.
"I'll be going now", I told him and he nodded waving me off. I smirked at him before walking off feeling his eyes following me up the steps.
