WHO: Tony Stark & Pepper Potts
WHERE: Irvine General, waking up.
WHEN: Tuesday night, quite late. Log future tagged.
WARNINGS: Typical Tony Warnings (which is now a thing.)
STATUS: In Progress; Closed.
It wasn't his first try.
The suit had been a prototype, and he was using some sort of 3D manipulating software in actual space to redesign the entire thing. The first had served its purpose, but Tony didn't know what that purpose was. All he knew was that this would change everything.
He put hours and days and weeks into working on it, this metal, mechanized suit. It would be perfect. It would be incredible.
It would be his.
The first stab of pain he had been able to ignore. The dream had that same, bizarre quality to it, and Tony hadn't wanted to wake up. The suit had been incredible, and he was trying to watch the dream-him version of him work. Trying to learn.
But the second, third and forth (and fifth and sixth) stabbing pains were pulling him to consciousness, and finally Tony just gave up, trying to open his eyes and groaning. At least, trying to groan. It was kind of impossible to when you had a plastic tube down your throat.
Flailing (which hurt so badly he couldn't even believe it), Tony tried to remove the tube, vaguely aware that it was probably service a purpose besides joking him, but just didn't care.
