Blinking wide eyes at her, he was mentally asking himself if he would ever hear something from her that wouldn't catch him off guard. Shaking it off, but he couldn't help but ask how she came across that.
"Well, it could only be the main reason for updating the materials used to create the arc reactor. If you want to create clean energy, any sort of poisoning as a resulting by product would mean something needed to be changed." she shrugged her shoulders, seeing that only logical explanation.
Using his arm around her shoulders, he brought his daughter all that much closer to him. It was something anyone with common sense would know, but most already thought that the arc reactor was already a form of clean energy.
And it was, just not when it applied to powering a human.
But he wasn't about to say that to her. Well not yet at least or unless she didn't ask him specifically. Like she needed some time before she opened up to him completely, he didn't want her to worry over him when it had already been dealt with.
Although, he would admit, it was rather nice to have her attention and affection on him. Different than the form Pepper bestowed upon him, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.
AN: I got that one Brady bunch song stuck in my head. And it. Won't. STOP. DX But I'm fully enjoying the spring weather over here! Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
