The Man with no Heart (Tony Stark) - ON HOLD

Maya Hansen

“Hey Tony” she sweetly smiled at him

My eyes observed her beauty intensely. I was really surprised to see her there, particularly because I knew Rhodes had just left to go and meet her.

“Maya… hey”

She approached me with a smile “So, can I come in or are you going to leave me here standing?”

Alright.

Now I am really… super embarrassed.

I have no manners, at all.

“Oh… uhh…yeah… you…” I stepped aside to let her in.

She giggled as I failed to keep a consistent speech.

Oh, just kill yourself, you idiot. I mentally face palmed myself

“Isn’t Rhodes around?”

“He… told me he went to… meet you?” I looked at her

“Oh, did he?” her eyes widened

“Yeah” I started walking back to the couch as she quickly searched for her phone

“Misunderstanding, then. I’m gonna tell him I’m here”

I nodded, concentrating on my computer as she spoke to him on the phone.

Then, I felt her sitting next to me. Her scent was quite distracting.

“Is that an engine for some robotic thing?” she asked me.

Surprised, I stared at her “You know about stuff like this?”

“Oh, a little” She approached me even more, getting a better view on my laptop “I’m more into genetical transformation and manipulation. But I’m interested in more things”

My eyes widened “Ever manipulated anything?” I smiled, quickly opening a somewhat genetic operating program on my laptop

“What’s that?” Her curiosity was evident.

I smiled “It’s just a basic program I created. You can analyze and run tests on possible transformations. I got only some animals and plants though”

Stunned, she looked at the program “C-Can I?”

“Of course” I let her explore it.

Of course, I was over excited by then.

I don’t think anyone ever admired something I was working on. Of course, Rhodes complimented me when he saw Dummy and U and when he heard Jarvis for the first time.

But this was different.

These was just one of the million things I simply remembered and gave a shot at. These were the kind of things that interested me.

Well, genetic transformation was not really my thing, but I once started this program, out of boredom.

“You’re something, Tony”

It was my turn to be stunned.

She looked at me in a really different way, she made me feel way too nervous.

“Don’t you have anything on human being?” her voice was almost in the background as my concentration deviated to her, and her alone

“Uuuh… I’m still studying it.” I stammered “I have something, I didn’t really update it there because they’re just pieces of a puzzle, I haven’t completed it and put it all together.”

She gave me that mysterious look again.

 Oh boy.

“My father told me he was going to help me on it… I guess he forgot though… it’s been a while” I faked a smile.
