Tony's Lab

Emma & Tony were staring at the model intensely. "Jarvis, could you kindly Vac-U-Form a digital wire frame? I need a manipulatable projection," Tony said and Jarvis pulled up a blue scan.

"1974 Stark Expo model scan complete, sir," Jarvis said then Tony lifted the blue projection away from the model.

"How many buildings are there?" Tony asked.

"Am I to include the Belgium waffle stands?" Jarvis asked.

"That was rhetorical. Just show me," Tony said before he clicked his finger and the model began to spin and lifted upright.

"What does that look like to you, Emma? Not unlike an atom. In which case the nucleus would be here," Tony said and Emma looked at it in curiosity.

"Interesting," she said and he looked at her.

"You have no idea what that is, do you?" He asked.

"Not a clue," Emma said and Tony let out a soft laugh.

"Jarvis, highlight the unisphere. Lose the footpaths. Get rid of them," Tony said.

"What is it you're trying to achieve, sir?" Jarvis asked.

"I'm discovering...Correction. I'm rediscovering a new element, I believe. Lose the landscaping, the shrubbery, the trees," Tony said before he started to flicker things away. "Parking lots, exits, entrances. Structure the protons and the neutrons using the pavilions as a framework. Dad," Tony mumbled as the model now resembled a nucleus and Tony expanded it. He looked down at Emma who was grinning ear from ear as she looked at blue lights surrounding her. "Dead for almost 20 years, and still taking me to school," he said before he touched the back of Emma's head, messing with her straight dirty blonde hair. Then he snapped down so the model fitted in his hand.

"The proposed element should serve as a viable replacement for palladium," Jarvis said as Tony started to walk away while he talked to Jarvis but Emma stayed behind, still smiling to herself.

"Thanks Grandpa," she mumbled.

"Emma!" Tony exclaimed.

"Coming!" She exclaimed before she rushed up to him.

Tony began to smash walls with sledgehammers and drilled holes in the floor, fiddled with wired and put together pipes then Agent Coulson entered. "I heard you broke the perimeter," he said.

"That was, like, three years ago. Where have you been?" Emma asked and they both looked at her, who was standing by, messing with some holograms.

"I...was doing some stuff," Coulson said.

"Well, me too and it worked. Hey, I'm playing for the home team Coulson, you and all your Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Now, are you gonna let me work or break my balls?" Tony asked then he pulled a familiar looking object out from the box.

"What's this doing here?" Coulson asked.

"That's it. Bring that to me," Tony said.

"You know what this is?" Coulson asked.

"It's exactly what I need to make this work. Lift the coil. Go, go. Put your knees into it. There you go. And...Drop it. Drop it," Tony said and the shield was now in position and the coil was straight. "Perfectly level. I'm busy. What do you want?" Tony asked.

"Nothing. Goodbye. I've been reassigned. Director Fury wants me in New Mexico," Coulson said.

"Fantastic. Land of Enchantment," Tony said.
