Malibu Manor No POV

Tony clapped his hands twice as his garage lit up.

Tony; wake up. Daddy's home.

Jarvis: welcome home, sir. Congratulations on the opening ceremonies. They were such a success, as was your Senate hearing. And may I say how refreshing it is to finally see you in a video with your clothing on, sir.

Tony: <chukles>

Dummy arm and as trying to make the smoothie that Wade ordered Tony to drink but he was causing a mess.

Tony: you! I swear to God I'll dismantle you. I'll soak your motherboard. I'll turn you into a wine rack. Let Wade do that when he gets here.

Wade entered the garage and went to make Tony his shake.

Tony: how many ounces a day of this gobbledegook did Wade said i am supposed to drink?

Wade: 80 ounces a day. It's to counteract the symptoms. I know it's nasty but necessary.

Tony:<nods> check palladium levels.

Tony uses that blood toxicity scanner.

Wade: 24 percent on blood toxicity.

Jarvis: it appears that the continued use of the Iron Man suit is accelerating your condition. Another core has been depleted.

Tony takes his ark reactor out and it expelled a burnt core.

Tony; god, they're running out quick.

Jarvis: I have run simulations on every known element, and none can serve as a viable replacement for the palladium core.

Wade grabs a fresh core as he takes the ark reactor and puts it inside. Then he placed it back on Tony's chest and secured it.

Wade: dad, you are running out of both time and options. This thing is keeping you alive and it's killing you. These blue lines are what worry me the most.

Jarvis; Miss Potts is approaching.

Wade: maybe it's best if-

Tony;<covers his mouth> shush. Jarvis, Mute.

Pepper:<enters> uh-uh. Is this a joke?

Tony:<finishes his drink>

Wade: <takes the cup and goes to put it on the sink>

Pepper: what are you thinking? What? What are you thinking?

Tony: hey, I'm thinking I'm busy. And you're angry about something. Do you have the sniffles? I don't wanna get sick and give Wade more work.

Pepper; did you just donate...

Tony; keep your business.

Pepper: our entire modern art collection to the...

Tony: Boy Scouts of America.

Pepper: Boy Scouts of America?

Tony: yes. It is a worthwhile organization. I didn't physically check the crates but, basically, yes. And it's not "our" collection, it's my collection. No offense.

Pepper: no, you know what? I think I'm actually entitled to say "our" collection considering the time that I put in, over 10 years, curating that.

Tony; It was a tax write off. I needed that.

Pepper: you know, there's only about 8,011 things that I really need to talk to you about.

Tony; dummy. Hey, stop spacing out. The Bridgeport's already machining that part.
