Prologue

"So when you're making my suit you pretty much just have to program all the stuff for it?" I run my hand over my newest suit on the mannequin while Tony works on a screen.

"Well some things I have to make, like the attachment on the wrist to connect to other people's suits. I had to make that before programming it." His eyes don't move from the screen as he talks. "Actually, most additions require me to make them. I had to make a pocket for the parachute-"

"I have a parachute?" My eyes widen as I look across the suit, trying to find where it could've fit.

"I figured that if you were going to be flying around with me or Sam you would've needed a parachute just in case."

"What else does it have that I don't know about?"

"Sir," FRIDAY's voice interrupts our conversation. "Peter is here." Tony's face lights up as he closes down the lab and gestures for me to follow him out.

The two of us make our way out into the hallway and down a few stories before we find ourselves in the main lobby of the facility. The lobby tends to be a bit busier than the part of the facility where I spend most of my time. People here are arriving to work or making their way to meetings or one of the numerous public labs. I spend most of my time in the private wing with the bedrooms for the members of the team that remained here and Tony's private lab.

I walk behind Tony as we catch sight of Happy and Peter watching a quinjet take off outside. I wave to Peter after Tony says, "Oh, there they are," as he attempts to look casual walking down the hallway with his hands in his suit pocket. "How was the ride up?"

"Good." Happy is the one who responds despite Tony's gaze remaining on Peter.

"Give me a minute with the kid." Tony finally turns to look at the head of security.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. I brought Riley to keep you company."

"Glad you think so highly of me." I roll my eyes. "No offence, Happy."

"I gotta talk to the kid." Tony glances at both Happy and me.

"Riley and I will be close behind," Happy says.

"How about a loose follow, alright? Boundaries are good." Happy rolls his eyes as Tony moves forwards towards Peter, lightly punching his shoulder before pulling him close as they begin walking down the hallway.

"How have you been, Happy?" I ask as we 'loosely follow' Tony and Peter.

"Well I've been babysitting the kid and Avenger's Tower for months, so a bit stressed, but what else is new?" I nod my head and laugh lightly. "How's house arrest been?"

"I feel bad complaining since my 'house' is a huge facility filled with training rooms, labs, a pool, and more electronics than my brain can even process, but honestly I've been getting a bit stir crazy."
