Y/N was currently on the phone with Agent Coulson "Coulson, how long am I supposed to keep my cover?" Y/N asked pacing in her room. "Just until we have everything we need." Coulson responded.

"And how long is that gonna be?" Y/N sighs.

"Who knows, Y/N." Phil says. "Okay, well I kind of have to go. I don't won't neither Tony or Pepper getting suspicious as to why I have to take phone calls all of a sudden." Y/N tells Coulson.

"And Remember, Agent L/N...." Phil starts to say. "I know, If I have or need anything. Don't be afraid to call." Y/N says and both she and Phil hang up.

Y/N decides to go into the living room and watch something on the projected screen. Once she sits down she taps the tablet and finds something about Stark Industries. Already having a hunch about what it was she clicked on it.

"Stark Industries. I've got one recommendation! Ready? Ready? Sell, sell, sell! Abandon ship! Does the Hindenburg ring any bells? Let me show you the new Stark Industries business plan!"

The guy on the screen using a baseball bat to smash a mug. Y/N winced "Look, that's a weapons company that doesn't make weapons!"

"Y/N how big are your hands?" Tony spoke from the tablet. "I'm sorry? What?" Y/N responds. "How big are your hands?" Tony says again. "I don't understand why..." Y/N says. "Get down here. I need you." Tony tells her.

Y/N goes down to Tony's workshop, putting in the code she enters "Hey. Let's see them. Show me your hands. Let's see them." Tony says as Y/N walks over to him. "Oh, wow. They are small. Very petite, indeed." Tony says as he sits in the chair without a shirt and something on his chest. "I just need your help for a sec."

"Oh, my God, Tony, has this thing been keeping you alive?" Y/N says shocked. "It was. It is now an antique. This is what will be keeping me alive for the foreseeable future. I'm swapping it out for an upgraded unit and I just ran into a little speed bump." Tony tells Y/N looking her in the eyes.

"Speed bump, what does that mean?"

"It's nothing. It's just a little snag. There's an exposed wire under this device. And it's contacting the socket wall and causing a little bit of a short." Tony takes out the arc reactor and Y/N jumps.

"It's fine." Tony assures her. Tony hands the reactor to Y/N "Um... What do you want me to do?" she asked. "Put that on the table over there. That is irrelevant." Tony says. "Oh, my God!" Y/N exclaimed.

"Y/N, I just want you to reach in, and you're just gonna gently lift the wire out." Tony says.

"Are you exactly sure that this is safe?" Y/N asked cautiously. "Yeah, it should be fine. It's like Operation. You just don't let it touch the socket wall or it goes "beep." Tony explains.

"Okay, well I've played Operation and it should be easy, right?" Y/N says. "All right, just gently lift the wire. Okay? Great." Tony spoke. "Okay."

"You know what, I don't think I'm actually qualified to do this. Are you sure you don't want to have Pepper do this?" Y/N retracted her hand.

"No, you're fine. You're the most capable, qualified, trustworthy person I've ever met. You're gonna do great. It is too much of a problem to ask? Cause I'm..." Tony says.

"All right. Okay." Y/N sighed. "I really need your help here. Okay." Y/N reaches her hand inside the chest cavity and felt something slightly slimy "Ew, there's pus!" she says.

"It's not pus. It's an inorganic plasmic discharge from the device, not from my body." Tony explains. "Tony, it smells!" Y/N added.

"Yeah, it does. The copper wire. The copper wire you got it?"

Y/N nods "All right, I got it, I got it!"

"Okay, you got it? Now don't let it touch the..." Tony yells as there was a buzzing sound causing Y/N to yelp. "...touch the sides when you're coming out!" Tony says.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Y/N apologized.

"That's what I was trying to tell you before. Okay, now make sure that when you pull it out, you don't... There's a magnet at the end of it!" Y/N pulls out the wire with the magnet attached to it. "That was it." The machine starts beeping rapidly.

"You just pulled it out." Tony tells Y/N.

"Oh, God!" Y/N says. "Okay, I was not expecting... Don't put it back in! Don't put it back in!" Tony says. "Okay, uh, what do I do? What's wrong?" Y/N asked concerned.

"Nothing, I'm going into cardiac arrest cause you yanked it out like a trout..." Tony says.

"What? You told me that this was safe!"

"We gotta hurry. Take this. Take this." Tony hands Y/N a new reactor. "You gotta switch it out really quick."

"Okay. Tony?" Y/N says.

"What?"

"It's going to be okay." Y/N assured. "Is it?"

"It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna make this okay."

"Let's hope. Okay, you're gonna attach that to the base plate. Make sure you..." Tony tells Y/N as she inserts the reactor. Tony screams for a second "Was that so hard? That was fun, right? Here, I got it. I got it. Here. Nice."

Y/N looks at her hands and back at Tony "Are you okay?" she asks him. "Yeah, I feel great. You okay?" Tony says back and he laughs.

"Tony, don't you ever, ever, ever, ever ask me to do something like that ever again." Y/N scolds Tony. "I don't have anyone but you." Tony says. "What about Pepper you have her too." Y/N says and Tony doesn't say anything. This made Y/N want to read his mind but she refrained from doing so.

"Anyway..." Tony says and he removed the other things from his chest as he stands. "What do you want me to do with this?" Y/N holds up the arc reactor. "That? Destroy it. Incinerate it." Tony says and he tapped on his new reactor.

"Are you sure you don't want to keep it?" Y/N asks. "Y/N, I've been called many things. "Nostalgic" is not one of them." Tony tells her.

"Will that be all, Mr. Stark?"

"That will be all, Miss L/N." Tony says. Y/N nods and she leaves the lab.
