Ocean
Out in the Atlantic Ocean, Tony Stark, in his Iron Man suit, was cutting a pipeline transport with a laser cutter coming from his hand. He then placed a stark energy reactor. It lights up. Iron Man rocketed out of the water and flew towards Stark Tower.
"You're good on this end. The rest is up to you." Tony said.
"You disconnected the transition lines? Are we off the grid?" Rei said on the other line.
Inside the Suit
Rei appeared on his HUD monster
"Stark Tower is about to become a beacon of self-sustaining clean energy." Tony said.
"Wow. So maybe our reactor takes over and it actually works?" Rei said.
"I assume. Light her up." Tony said.
As Iron Man flew to the Stark Tower Building, the power was switched on and the Stark sign lit up.
"How does it look?" Rei asked.
"Like Christmas, but with more... me." Tony said.
"Gotta go wider on the public awareness campaign. You need to do some press. I can do some more tomorrow. I'm working on the zoning for the next billboards." Rei said.
"Rei, you're killing me. Remember? Enjoy the moment." Tony said.
"Then get in here and I will." Rei said.
Tony arrived at his skyscraper penthouse and was in the process of taking off his Iron Man suit through a hi-tech gauntlet of gadgets.
"Sir, Agent Coulson of SHIELD is on the line." Jarvis said.
"I'm not in. I'm actually out." Tony said.
"Sir, I'm afraid he's insisting." Jarvis said.
"Close the line Jarvis. I got a date." Tony said.
Tony's Penthouse
Rei Selvig stared up at the monitors of the reactor device.
"Levels are holding steady... I think." Rei said.
"Of course they are, I was directly involved. Which brings me to my next question: how does it feel to be a genius?" Tony said.
"Well, ha, I really wouldn't know now, would I?" Rei said.
"What do you mean? All this came from you." Tony said.
"No. All this came from that." Rei said, pointing to the energy in his chest plate.
"Give yourself some credit, please. Stark Tower is your baby. Give yourself... twelve percent of the credit." Tony said.
"Twelve percent?" Rei said.
"An argument can be made for fifteen." Tony said.
"Twelve percent? For my baby?" Rei said.
"Well, I did do all the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted the heavy things. And sorry, but the security snafu? That was on you." Tony said.
"Oooooh." Rei said.
"My private elevator..." Tony said.
"You mean OUR elevator?" Rei said.
"...was teeming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages in some subtle way later, aren't I? Tony said.
Rei poured herself and Tony a glass of champagne.
"Not gonna be that subtle." Rei said.
"I'll tell you what. Next building's gonna say 'Reiko' on the tower." Tony said.
"On the lease." Rei said.
"...Call your mom, can you bunk over?" Tony said.
"Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocols are being overwritten." Jarvis said.
"Stark, we need to talk." Coulson said.
Tony picks up his phone and looks into it at Coulson.
"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message." Tony said.
"This is urgent." Coulson said.
"Then leave it urgently." Tony said.
At that moment the elevator door opened and Coulson appeared.
"Security breach." Tony said, then to Rei. "That's on you."
"Good," Rei said. "I let him in."
"Mr. Stark." Coulson said.
"Phil! Come in." Rei said.
"Phil? Uh, his first name is Agent." Tony said.
"Come on in, we're celebrating." Rei said.
"Which is why he can't stay." Tony said.
"We need you to look this over." Coulson towards out a file towards Stark. "Soon as possible."
"I don't like being handed things." Tony said.
"That's alright, `cause I love to be handed things. So, let's trade." Rei said.
She passed her glass of champagne to Coulson and took the file from him, then took her champagne glass back from Coulson and passed the file over to Stark.
"Thank you." Rei said.
"Official consulting hours are between eight and five every other Thursday." Tony said.
"This isn't a consultation." Coulson said.
"Is this about The Avengers? Which I...I know nothing about." Rei said.
"The Avengers Initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify." Tony said.
"I didn't know that either." Rei said.
"Yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self-obsessed, don't play well with others." Tony said.
"That I did know." Rei said.
"This isn't about personality profiles anymore." Coulson said.
"Whatever. Miss Selvig, got a minute?" Tony said.
Rei walks over to Tony who placed the files into his own databases.
"You know, I thought we were having a moment." Tony said.
"I was having twelve percent of a moment. This seems serious, Phil's pretty shaken." Rei said.
"How did you notice? Why is he Phil?" Tony asked.
"What is all of this?" Rei asked.
"This is, uh..." Tony said.
Tony expanded his arms and different profiles appear in holographic form floating in the air in front of Tony and Rei.
"This." Tony said.
Screens appeared of Captain America in action, the Hulk roaring as he attacked the army at Culver University, Thor and Loki fighting the Destroyer and another is of Kuri and the Tesseract, to which Stark and Rei look on in awe.
"You've got homework. You've got a lot of homework." Rei said.
"Well, what if I didn't?" Tony said.
"If you didn't?" Rei said.
"Yeah." Tony said.
"You mean if you finished?" Rei said.
Stark nodded his head.
"Well, um...then..." Rei whispered something in his ear. Tony gasped. Coulson looked away in embarrassment.
"Square deal. It's the last date." Tony said.
Rei kissed him.
"Work hard." Rei said.
As Rei left with Agent Coulson, Tony grabbed the Tesseract in holograph form, worried.
