Stark Mansion
May 8th
Alexandra entered her home for the first time in a little under three months, nothing had changed, it sure as hell didn't look as if it was abandoned for a few months.
"Pepper must have made sure it stayed clean" she mumbled to herself as the Mansion comes alive, Jarvis engages the lights illuminating the house as she walked through the living room.
"welcome home Ma'am"
"thank you, kindly Jarvis,"
"it's been a long time, based on news reports I calculated your return at 0.25%"
"yeah, I missed you too" The falling of water from her indoor waterfall mixed with the crackling of burning wood from the fireplace resonated throughout the room. Alex let out a sigh as she sat down on the edge of the sofa, on the table in front of her she noticed a box.
Inside the box was a gold Rolex watch with a note
'Alex,
Thank god it wasn't your time
-Obadiah'
She took the watch out of the box and began placing it on her wrist as she walked to the window and looked out into the dark ocean below.
"you have 1713 new voice messages" Jarvis spoke as he displayed the messages across the window
"how shall I categorize for you?" Alex began flipping through the messages that appeared before her, she only scrolled through a couple of the messages before she had enough.
"delete all" after the messages disappeared Alex turned off the display.
"I'm detecting the presence of electromagnetic energy"
"uh-huh... boot up the scanner for me" with that Alex left the living room and headed into her lab.
Once in the lab she removed her shirt and bra before placing a pair of goggles on her face and sits in her 3d laser scanner.
"what were your intentions for this device?" Jarvis asked as the scan finished and was displayed on the monitors. Alex moved to sit behind her desk and examined the data collected.
"it powers an electromagnet which keeps the shrapnel from entering my heart. Can you recommend any upgrades?"
"It is difficult to offer counsel in light of the fact that your stated intentions are inconsistent with your actions." Alex's chest device magnified; various components flash as Jarvis analyses them.
"What are you talking about? That is ridiculous. That is exactly the purpose of this invention." She quips back to her AI
"The energy yield of this device outperforms your stated intention by eleven orders of magnitude. You could accomplish your stated goal with the power output of a car battery."
"upgrade recommendations. List" she deadpans
"why are you talking to me like a computer?"
"because you are acting like one"
"shall I disable random pattern conversations?" Alex shakes her as she looks at the monitor
"no. its ok. You are the only one who understands me"
"I don't understand you ma'am"
"were you always this dry? I remember you having more personality than this" she says trying to determine why Jarvis appeared to have de-aged while she was gone.
