Chapter 6
Tony was not hiding. He was working. Just because he had locked himself inside the innermost lab with the music cranked up full blast didn't mean he was blocking the other's attempts to talk some sense into him. No it didn't. Not at all...

Besides, the latest Iron Man suite had a new glitch in it ....
" And what's this? Now you're reprogramming yourself on me? What's the matter didn't you like the old commands?"
Previous parameters inefficient for the protection of Creator
" Trying to convince me you're embracing your inner Skynet, Matrix, and Hal then?"
He was answered with mentally projected sneer at the idea that it could even be compared to those errorously ignorant and inferior creations.
"Well yes that's all fine. So what is your excuse then?"
Previous parameters inefficient for the protection of Creator. System 'Tony Stark' erroneously placed below correct level of importance.
Instinct and a lifetime of experience had him opening his mouth automaticly to respond with either bright egotistical boasting or honest firmness on the correctness of his ranking system of peoples' importance.
The suit didn't let him have a chance to do either. One metal hand moved to spread a palm lightly on Tony's chest. The palm-centered repulser laying gently against the warmth of the breathing human flesh next to where the arch-reactor nestled. The other gauntlet rose to carefully cup the dark head.
Without Tony Stark the systems that Creator ranked higher priority cannot function.
