"Tony. It's good to see you again." Stane greeted, putting a firm hand on Tony's shoulder. He suppressed a grimace and maneuvered away from his reach.
"Y-yeah...it's good to see you too…"
"So, anything new that you've been working on?"
"No." Tony stated.
"Oh, come on Tony, you can tell me anything." Stane said. "We are friends, aren't we?"
"Hahaha no. You're friends with my father therefore I only know you as an acquaintance."
"Tony don't be such a downer."
"Trying to be hip now? Please stop. You're just embarrassing yourself." Stane frowned at Tony's comment. Whereas Tony was giving him an innocent smile. "You know Tony...pretty soon I think you and I will be talking business soon."
"Heh, I highly doubt that. As long as my old man is still alive and kicking."
"It's alright. I have a feeling that we won't have a problem regarding the matter."
"I'm sorry Oba what did you say? I couldn't hear you over all my genius remarks and banters." Tony smiled smugly. "If you need me...I'll be in the lab." Stane was not amused. He mumbled about something along the lines of taking over the company. Once he knew for sure that Tony was out of hearing range.
"Pft what does Stane know? He's just jealous of my intellect. He's just a bald headed vulture." Tony stated as he started tinkering with a few spare parts.
"Sir, it seems that my watch has stopped working again."
"Let me see Jarvis." The old man handed his watch over to the young man. "This is an easy fix. Don't worry buddy I'll have this fixed up for you in a jiffy."
"Thank you sir. I just wanted to tell you that your hot chocolate is ready."
"Jarvis. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 19."
"I'll take that as a no then. Well more for me I suppose."
"Hold up Jarvis I didn't say no to hot chocolate."
"Well then I hope you fixed my watch."
"Of course. Absolute child's play." He stated handing the watch back to Jarvis. Who humbly received it. "But seriously don't you want to get a new watch? I could buy you another one."
"That's quite alright sir. I've grown quite fond of it." Jarvis stated.
"Well then, come on. Hot chocolate awaits." The two then went up the stairs to the kitchen where they enjoyed a nice hot chocolate. Both blissfully unaware of what was to transpire in the next 2 years.
