Eva hid her grin as two familiar faces walked into the coffee shop, in the middle of a very intense-looking conversation.
"And the rerouting was pointless, since it wasn't the mainframe that was the problem, it was something to do with the ether," Stark continued, gesticulating as he talked.
"Are there connection problems elsewhere in the hub?" asked Vision.
"No! That's what bugged me in the first place. If I amp up the MBps for the whole thing it might-"
"Cough- nerds- cough," she spluttered, thumping her chest. They both broke off to stare at her. "Sorry, Mr Stark, V."
Stark narrowed his eyes at her. "I heard that," he said shortly, then swept off to a table.
Vision caught Eva's eye, and she grinned at him. "I'll bring his drink over, don't worry. Nice to see you catching up with your former boss-slash-creator. I think he misses you."
"So do I," said Vision, "although I doubt he will appreciate either of us saying that."
"Probably not. I bet Pepper wants you back, though."
"They have F.R.I.D.A.Y," Jarvis pointed out, "the new interface."
"Yeah, but F.R.I.D.A.Y won't have had years of experience of dealing with Tony Stark," she said.
"I'm certainly not jealous of her," Vision admitted, "but I do miss them both."
"Good. Very human of you. So, this new AI, huh? Is she nice? Do you talk much?"
"Do not even begin to think about it, Eva," Vision warned her.
She blinked innocently. "About what?" she asked, then laughed at his expression. "Relax, I'm just kidding. No romance."
"No romance," he repeated, "I'll leave that to you."
A/N whoops day late, sorry x
