“We ready, Jarvis?”<\/p>\n

“As ready as can be expected, sir.\u00a0 Standing by in case of emergency.”\u00a0 Indeed, Jarvis was standing near a more-or-less vacant worktop, a safe(-ish) distance away.<\/p>\n

“Great.\u00a0 You, Butterfingers, you both know what to do.”\u00a0 The armature bots whirred quietly, one holding a camera, the other a fire extinguisher.<\/p>\n

“Go.”<\/p>\n

Jarvis triggered the armor\u2019s launching sequence.<\/p>\n

Piece by piece, it skittered through the air, attaching and interlinking, and occasionally knocking into things, and occasionally needing a bit of help.<\/p>\n

“How\u2019re things lookin\u2019, Jarvis?” Tony\u2019s voice came out mildly synthesized, as he looked down at the black and silver armor.<\/p>\n

“The homing system requires a few final calibrations, but all other systems are within normal parameters.\u00a0 I would suggest\u2014”<\/p>\n

“The window, if you\u2019d be so kind.”<\/p>\n

Jarvis sighed and rolled his eyes.\u00a0 \u201cOf course, you\u2019re going to test it from this high up.\u00a0 Forgive me for daring to hope otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re forgiven.”\u00a0 Tony gestured expectantly towards one of the windows, and it slid downwards and out of the way.<\/p>\n

“Cheer up, worrywart!\u00a0 Just a little test flight.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be with me the whole time.”<\/p>\n

“Consider me comforted.”<\/p>\n

Tony launched himself out the window, and it slid upwards and closed again behind him as he took off, angling upwards and then leveling out as he soared further into the city.<\/p>\n

Summer saw a suit fly past her window out of the corner of her eye, and didn’t think anything of it until the colors registered. “Jarvis!” she shouted, dropping her book and shooting up out of the chair. “You were supposed to tell me when he was going to test it!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
