"Haa.... How do I look like now?" asked Tony
"Sir you look healthier than you were before your accident and even younger" JARVIS said
"Looks like I will have to ask more of these beans from him the next time I meet him." Tony said then got out of his bed to take a bath.
15 Minutes later when Tony came out of the bath he called out to JARVIS but found out that he was silent.
"What the- Not again" Tony said remembering this happened when Fury came to meet him last time.
Tony wore his clothes then got out of his room only to see Fury standing in the living room.
"What are you doing here?" Tony asked
"I came to meet you, but how are you standing here Stark? Didn't you just have an operation yesterday?" asked Fury a little confused.
His agent cut the electricity so he could sneak in before the generator restart everything but just before he could get in Stark's room to meet him, he saw Tony coming down stairs walking as if nothing happened to him.
"That- What does that matter to you?" Tony said, he was already pissed that Fury entered his house the second time, at least he knew that Reaper wasn't an ordinary man so he could accept him breaking in but Fury was definitely ordinary Spy but still ordinary.
Fury understood that Tony wasn't going to tell him now, anyway he wasn't here for that but to get a better relationship with Stark.
"I am here to return to you some of the things" Fury said as he pointed at boxes on the table in the living room. "That thing you had on your chest is based on unfinished technology."
Tony argued " No, it was finished. It has never been particularly effective until I miniaturised it and put it in my…"
"No. Howard said the arc reactor was the stepping stone to something greater. He was about to kick off an energy race that was gonna dwarf the arms race. He was on to something big, something so big that it was gonna make the nuclear reactor look like a triple-A battery." Fury said interrupting Tony's speech.
" Just him, or Anton Vanko in on this too?" asked Tony
" Anton Vanko is the other side of that coin. Anton saw it as a way to get rich. When your father found out, he had him deported. When the Russians found out he couldn't deliver they shipped his ass off to Siberia and he spent the next 20 years in a vodka-fuelled rage. Not quite the environment you want to raise a kid in, the son you had the misfortune of crossing paths with in Monaco." Fury explained
"You told me I hadn't tried everything. What do you mean I haven't tried everything? What haven't I tried?" asked Tony as he came downstairs
"He said that you were the only person with the means and knowledge to finish what he started." Fury said
"He said that?" Tony asked in surprise
" Are you that guy? Are you? 'Cause if you are, then you can solve the riddle of the incomplete reactor." Fury said
"I don't know where you get your information, but he wasn't my biggest fan." Tony stated
"What do you remember about your dad?" Fury asked
"He was cold, he was calculating. He never told me he loved me. He never even told me he liked me, so it's a little tough for me to digest when you're telling me he said the whole future was riding on me and he's passing it down. I don't get that. You're talking about a guy who's happiest day was when he shipped me off to boarding school." Tony explained
"That's not true." Fury said
"Well, then, clearly you knew my dad better than I did."
"As a matter of fact, I did. He was one of the founding members of SHIELD." Fury stated
" What?" Tony exclaimed in surprise
"I have another meeting to attend, you can look for the clues your father left" Fury said while pointing towards the box.
"Wait wait wait what is this?" asked Tony
"Okay, you're good, right?" Fury asked
"No, I'm not good." Tony said
"You got this? Right? Right?" asked Fury while Agent Coulson entered the house.
"Got what? I don't even know what I'm supposed to get." Tony said
"Coulson will be keeping an eye on you so that you don't create a scene" Fury said and the left the house.
Tony looked at the box of his father's stuff then at Coulson and said "Where did the nanny go?"
"Don't worry she will be back tomorrow morning? We know that Ms. Pepper will also come to visit you regularly which we won't stop" Coulson stated
Tony remembered that Pepper was still angry at him for not telling her about his health but she can't do much about it because he just had a surgery but now that he is fully healthy it wouldn't stop her from being angry at him.
"Don't tell Pepper that I am okay" Tony said
"I am not here for that I am only here to keep an eye on you" Coulson said
I think I got it, yeah." Tony said
"Enjoy your evening's entertainment." Coulson said and Leaves. Tony looks at the box that has been left for him.

Air base. Dismantling the suit
"Think this is the power source?" asked Major Allen while looking at the arc reactor
"Major, this is not a scientific exercise. Let's just focus on arming it, all right?" Rhodey said
"Yes, sir." Major Allen said
Justin Enters while sucking on a red lollipop. "Oh, yes! Oh, yes, yes, yes. Is it my birthday? You got it. What did you do? What did you do? Is this what I think it is?"
"Yes it is. Hammer, I want to know what you're gonna do for us." Rhodey asked
"What am I going to do for you? Well, the first thing I'm gonna do for you is I'm gonna upgrade your software. And then, second, I think I should…" Justin started to explain but Rhodey stopped him.
"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about firepower."
"Well then you are looking at the right guy" Justin said as he vites the lolipop and then took out his phone to call someone to bring his weapons.
Some time later different weapons lay in front of Rhodey.
"Claridge Hi-Tec, semi-automatic, 9mm pistol." Justin said while looking at Rhodey whose expression was stoic as ever, after that every weapon that Justin showed Rhodey's expression remains the same.
"Too downtown? I agree. M24 shotgun, pump action. Five-round magazine. You know what? You're not a hunter." Justin said as Rhodey remains stoic as ever
