Henry's day was filled with meetings and seeing investors, Henry couldn't blame Amaya she just sometimes scheduled a lot of things in one day, and it was taking a toll on Henry, he wanted to relax for one day.
Henry just took off his coat when IAN notified him that Tony was calling, Henry's eyebrows rose in surprise but told IAN to answer it.
"Hey Tony, didn't think to hear from you so soon." Or at all Henry wanted to add, but for the sake of reconciling he didn't.
"Yea, I kinda need your help." Henry could tell Tony was a little distressed.
"Why? What's wrong?" Henry stood up fully ready to rush to Tony's side.
"Rhodey was doing PT when he just collapsed, the braces stopped working and I don't know what happened." Henry started walking towards his room to put some different clothes on.
"Okay, sh Tones, breathe, I'm gonna change and then I'll be right there, are you in the lab?" Henry asked rummaging through his clothes.
"Yea, we're in the lab, Rhodey is laying on the couch, no damage but mainly to his pride." Henry heard a protest in the background which was probably Rhodey, Henry smiled nonetheless.
"I'll be right over." Henry heard the line click signaling Tony ended the call.
"IAN-" Henry was cutoff by IAN talking.
"I already have the car ready Sir." Henry huffed out a laugh and continued looking for comfortable clothes, he smirks as he slipped the shirt he picked out on, Rhodey is gonna laugh but Henry doesn't care, he grabbed some sweatpants that had cuffs.
Henry made sure to grab his things and walked into the elevator, automatically taking him to the garage level he sees his pride and joy, Henry is the only one allowed to drive this, smirking he opens the door and IAN starts the car.
Wrapping his hands around the steering wheel he pressed the gas, the garage door opened when he was closer and he zoomed down his driveway, he liked to show off but he always was safe so when he got on the main highway he slowed down.
IAN told him the Compound was a few minutes away, he knew that Tony didn't spend all his time there but he had his floor, being the owner of the building and all.
Henry pulled pressed the intercom and let them know he's here, they opened the gates and Henry pulled into the parking lot, with this car, he never let anyone touch it.
He walked up the receptionist and told her his name.
"Here you go, Mr. Stark had a badge made for you, you must be someone special." The receptionist's eyes twinkle, Henry looked at the badge that he placed around his neck which said Level Ten, the highest level you can get, Henry, beamed with pride.
He walked towards the elevator and swiped the card to get into the elevator, all the buttons were lit up, and he pressed the one that said Tony's Personal Lab, pressing it he couldn't help but smile as he leaned against the wall.
As Henry watched the numbers drop he got nervous, would Henry even be able to help Rhodey? Henry laughed at himself, he doesn't want to brag but he's made two AIs in his lifetime along with countless tech, he surely can work on some braces, sure Henry was worried that him being nervous would make him mess up but Henry can overcome that.
Henry heard the low volume of ACDC when the elevator door opened to the Lab, Rhodey was sitting on the couch right where Tony said he would be, and Tony was hunched over the lab table looking at the braces.
"You should stop hunching, bad for your posture." Henry makes his presence known to the two friends.
"Good, you're here, I need your help." Tony looked up and grabbed Henry's hand to drag him towards the table.
"Thank you're here man, you need to help him, he's going crazy." Rhodey rolled his at Tony.
"Let's see what the issue is." Henry gently took the brace and looked over the mechanism.
"Ah, I see the problem-"

Henry sat down on the sofa with a huff, Rhodey was long gone, braces being fixed he had to get back to his Mom's house for dinner, looking at his watch Henry noticed he should probably get going too.
"Thanks for your help." Tony bumped Henry's shoulder when he sat down next to him.
"Of course, just the good old times. I should probably get going, getting kinda hungry." Henry blushed when his stomach rumbled.
"Why don't you have dinner here? We can order pasta, but I mean we don't have too if you don't want too." Tony looked down shyly, Henry lifted Tony's chin with his fingertips.
"I would love too." Henry didn't remove his fingers from Tony's face until Tony moved away and stood up.
"I'm gonna order from Hargreeves, do you know what you want?" Tony looked at Henry after he stood up.
"You pick, you know what I like," Tony smirked and walked away to order the food, Henry blushed and berated himself on the inside, he had to control himself, this was getting out of hand.
"Is Tony upstairs?" Henry looked at the ceiling talking to the AI.
"Sir is in his penthouse, he has ordered food and asked if you could come up." The AI, Henry was going to have to ask the name of told him, the elevator dinged before Henry got close.
"So, I meant to ask you this but what is your AI's name?" Henry asked once Tony sat down at the table with the food he ordered.
"She's my baby girl, her name is FRIDAY which means Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth." Tony beamed at FRIDAY.
Henry choked on his food when he heard the name, he took a drink and tried to will his tears away that were forming.
It was a coincidence that Tony and Henry got together on a Friday and that Tony named his AI Friday, right?
