I walk into Bruce's lab.

Tony stares at me. I take off my shirt.

"Wha-wha-what ..." he clears his throat. "Must you... ya know. Get undressed here?"

"What? You still mad I chose steve?" I smirk as I undress.

"Yes. But how would he feel with you doing this?" Tony turns around.

"I told him I'm was coming to the tank to heal up. Everyone has seen me naked." I put on my wrap that goings around my boobs and my crotch.

"You can turn around." I sink into the water.

Tony walks up to my tank. "Why not me?"

"Your smart. I'm sure you know the answer already. . ." I close my eyes and start healing my body.

He kisses my cheek. "I know."

We smile and Bruce walks in. "How's he doing?" He says as he walks past us.

Tony Turns "Oh, unfortunately, he's still Barton."

Bruce Rolls his eyes. "That's terrible."

I laugh aloud.

Tony bluntly "He's fine. He's thirsty. Alright." He hits my arm and walks to Bruce. "Look alive, JARVIS. It's play time. We've only got a couple days with this joystick so let's make the most of it. Update me on the structural and compositional analysis."

JARVIS speaks aloud "The scepter is alien. There are elements I can't quantify."

Tony Looks to me and speaks "you must know this science too girly"

I nod and Tony swipes the screen in front of me.

"So there's elements you can do Jarvis and Avinna can fill in the rest "

JARVIS " The jewel appears to be a protective housing for something inside. Something powerful"

Tony Stares at the screen "Like a reactor?"

I touch a couple codes "no... Like a computer.

JARVIS "I believe I'm ciphering code."

Natasha Comes in and goes To Dr. Cho as she tends to Barton's wounds. "You sure he's going to be okay? Pretending to need this guy really brings the team together."

Dr. Helen Cho "There's no possibility of deterioration. The nano-molecular functionality is instantaneous. His cells don't know they're bonding with simulacrum."

Bruce Looks at Nat "She's creating tissue."

Dr. Helen Cho smirks "If you brought him to my lab, the regeneration Cradle could do this in twenty minutes."

Tony Loudly gives a HA "Oh, he's flatlining. Call it. Time?"

Clint Shakes his head "No, no, no. I'm going to live forever. I'm gonna be made of plastic."

Stark hands Barton a drink "Here's your beverage."

Dr. Helen Cho rolls her eyes "You'll be made of you, Mr. Barton. Your own girlfriend won't be able to tell the difference".

Clint Looks done with the situation "Well, I don't have a girlfriend."

Dr. Helen Cho "That I can't fix. This is the next thing, Tony. Your clunky metal suits are going to be left in the dust"

I start to laugh now as I'm decoding what I can.

Tony Glares at me. "Well, that is exactly the plan. And Helen, I expect to see you at the party on Saturday."
