It's been a few days since Tony and Zenyatta had that walk together. Zenyatta just came back from riding around the city. She went into the kitchen to get a bottle of water when her phone rang. She knew it was her dad because of the ring tone Highway To Hell by AC/DC.

"Hey Dad. Sup?"

"How big are your hands?"

That came out of no where.

"What?" She asked looking at her hands.

"Come down to the lab."

He hung up. Zenyatta started at her phone for a second then turned to go downstairs.

After punching in the code she stepped in only to see Tony hooked up to machines. He was shirtless so she was able to see the arc reactor in his chest. She became wide eyed.

"Hey can you help me?" He asked.

"Whoa is that the thing keeping you alive?"

"It was. It is now an antique." Tony held up a new arc reactor, "This is what will be keeping me alive for the foreseeable future. I'm swapping it out for an upgraded unit and I just ran into a little... speed bump."

"Speed bump? What do you mean?"

"Nothing. There's just a little snag." He proceeded to twist the arc in his chest, "There's an exposed wire under this device and it's contacting the socket wall and it's causing a little bit of a shortage." He then pulled the arc from his chest making Zenyatta jump. He handed her the arc.

"What do- what do you want me to do?" She asked nervously taking the arc.

"Put it on the table."

"Ok. Oh my gosh." She said putting it on the table.

"I just want you to reach in and you're just gonna gently lift the wire out." He said sighing.

"Is it safe?" She asked concerned.

"Yeah. It should be fine. It's just like that game we played, Operation. Just don't let it touch the socket wall."

"Dad. I sucked at that game."

"Don't worry it'll be fine. Just gently lift the wire."

Zenyatta was about to stick her hand in when she pulled away nervously.

"No I-I-I don't think I am qualified to do this. I mean in sticking my hand into your chest. People aren't suppose to do that. I don't know Dad."

"No you're fine. You are the most capable, qualified, trustworthy person I know." He reassured her. "You'll do great."

She starred at him with nervous and uncertain eyes. "Alright."

"Is it to much of a problem to ask? Cause I'm-"

"Ok. Ok."

"I really need your help here."

Zenyatta reached her hand inside and almost immediately she felt a wet gooey substance and chringed.

"Ew ew there's puss!" She said still digging her hand inside.

"It's not puss. It's an inorganic plastic discharge. It's from the device not my body." Tony said.

"That doesn't make it any better." Zenyatta said still cringing. "It smells!"

"Yeah it does." He agreed, "The copper wire. The copper wire. You got it?"

"Yeah. Yeah. I got it. I got it."

"Ok. Don't let it touch the- AHH!!" Tony shouted and the machine buzzed, "Sides! Sides! When you're coming out!"
