"Good morning, Ms. Zoe" I hear JARVIS as soon as I open my eyes.

The curtains open automatically and sun gets in the room, making me groan. This headache I'm having is unbearable. I look at the nightstand and see a glass of water and an aspirin. Tony may not be here but he still finds ways to make me smile.

"Good morning, JARVIS. Is Sophie still here?" I ask.

"Yes, she's still asleep" I get my answer.

I take the aspirin and go to the bathroom as I wait for it to kick in. After a bit I go to the bedroom Sophie's at and wake her up carefully. She experiences the same brutal wakeup as I did and is equally happy for the aspirin with me.

"Thank you" she says taking her aspirin.

"Don't thank me, thank Tony" I say.

"I'd love to thank him actually. He was so kind last night"

"JARVIS, is Tony here?" I ask.

"He's in the lab" JARVIS replies immediately.

"What a surprise" I say.

"I should get going, please tell him how thankful I am" Sophie says getting up and I nod.

We go downstairs together and to our surprise the house is completely cleaned up. There's nothing that indicates there was a major party here a few hours ago. Sophie leaves and I go downstairs again, to the lab. I see Tony working and wait a bit until the door unlocks for me.

He's doing something I can't even understand. But I know for sure he looks extremely hot doing it. He's wearing a tank top and his muscular arms and shoulders are very visible. I can't even function completely yet and he's super deep into work. It seems like he's doing some modifications to his arc reactor but I can't be sure.

"Good morning" I say and hug him from behind.

"Good morning" he replies, not even looking at me.

He brushes my hand with his just as he walks away from his current position to another. He types some things on a few computers and then the arc reactor lights up. A few moments later he raises his shirt and places the arc reactor in its place again. Oh, boy, that body of his. It makes me weak every time.

"What are you doing? Can I help?" I ask, wanting to take part of what's happening here

"I'm working on something new actually. I've been working on it lately, nanotechnology" he murmurs, focused on some books he has in front of him.

Of course I can't help him. I have no idea how to use or understand nanotechnology. So I just keep looking at him.

"Thank you for the aspirin" I say once I approach him again.

"You're welcome. Thought you'd need it" he chuckles.

"Sophie was very grateful also" I say and he nods.
