Tony had been in the lab all morning working on the portal generator. He'd been so lost in what he was doing that he didn't keep track of the time. His back started to ache so he sat back and stretched. "J, what time is it?" "1030am, sir." Jarvis replied. Tony raised an eyebrow. That couldn't be right. "Are you sure?" "Quite positive, sir." Tony then picked up hid phone and sent texts to Richie and Howard as they'd both said they would be there this morning. He decided to get back to work while he waited. Twenty minutes without a response and Tony frowned. "Do a scan of the island, J." Tony pulled up the screen. No little red dots appeared. "It appears that neither of them is on the island anymore, sir." Jarvis replied. "That's not right." Tony shook his head. "Scan it again. And send tiny through the doors to scan there." "Of course, sir." Jarvis answered. Tony started to pace as he waited for the results. They couldn't have disappeared, could they? It was nearly an hour later when Jarvis reported back. "They're gone, sir." "No. Scan again, I refuse to believe they just disappeared." "I've run the scan four times, sir. They're gone." If he had lungs, he would have sighed. "Thanks, J." Tony sighed. There was only one thing for it, now. He threw himself into his work. He had braces to design for little Steve and other things to work on. It was the best way to keep his mind off having lost them both. |
