Office behind them, as well as a newly set meeting with Mr. Nishikawa, Tony took his daughter on a tour of the grounds, explaining what it was he now did.

"So, you used to develop weapons... but now your researching the arc reactor, and what it could be applied to. I don't see how that can be all of it."

Smirking, he once again threw an arm around her shoulders, steering them down a different direction. "You're right, it's not. Our research is now in the direction of how to improve living standards. From medical and medicine sciences, technology, and our latest project, clean energy. Just to name a few."

Kagome hummed, it really was the total opposite direction of what the company once did. And she could tell from the sound of his voice, he was actually very proud of the turn about. But the last one caught her attention the most.

"Clean energy? I take it you mean more than solar, wind or water power."

Smirk growing, Tony raised his free hand and tapped at the arc reactor that sat in the center of his chest. Watching how Kagome seemed to become more and more fascinated with what he was sharing with her. Hopefully, sharing his world with her would prove that she could share more of her own.

"We're researching it at the moment, updating the materials used to make up the arc reactor."

"Updating... why?"

"The previous model proved to have undesired... effects."

"Poisoning you mean."


AN: Okay~ I had a guest reviewer, saying I owed them all the missed updates, and asking why I was gone for a whole month. I was 'gone' because I was in mourning, my Grandfather had passed away, and I really wasn't all that up to writing. Anything. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
