The days were starting to blur together and if asked Anya probably couldn't say what day it was. The past few days had been spent in the lab. She worked on tweaking the nanites' code and when the text started blurring and running together she'd take a break by working on Toni's suit. Sleep was had when she got too tired to keep her eyes open. She usually stumbled over to the couch in the lab and faceplanted into it and stayed there for a few hours. Darwin and Schrodinger were her only companions.

She did emerge on occasion to grab some food and take a quick trip to S.HI.E.L.D. to check on the family. Mom was almost back to normal and Dad...well he was stable for now. Anya wanted to get this work on the nanites done as soon as possible. It was slow work because there was so much code to look through and a lot of tweaking to do.

She saved her work and stumbled to the couch. It was time for another nap, but before she passed out she sent a text to Toni. Suit is done. Stop by the lab and pick it up when you get a chance.

Anya fell on the couch and was asleep in no time.

	She reached down and gave the LMDog some pettings, before refocusing her attention on Anya. "I'm worried about you, okay? You need to get out in the fresh air more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When this is done," she said. "I need to finish this, Toni. The nanite code is huge and it's taking awhile to get through it. The sooner I get this done the sooner...." She sighed. "I need to finish it as soon as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni sat down next to Anya and wrapped her arms around her. "You gotta stop taking the weight of the world on your shoulders, girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I came by it honestly, T, I inherited it." She turned and hugged her best friend. "When I'm done with the nanite code and Dad's getting better, and when you're dad kicks my so-called-aunt's ass out of the company, I'll take some time off. Promise. It's been AGES since I've been shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just like I inherited dragging your ass out of the lab and out with real people," Toni insisted. She shook her head. "I don't remember ever seeing him that mad before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I didn't realize you were a real person. I've always thought you were an LMD my dad made for your dad," she teased. "In all seriousness though. T, I love you and I know you're always looking out for me, but I have to work on this code. The sooner I get it done, the sooner my dad can get back on his feet."

Anya stood up and stretched.

"Agreed. He had good reason though. We walked into an ambush and the company is gone. You know the sad thing about this is that if she would have just come to us we would have accepted her into the family and into the company. Instead she chose to make enemies."

	"Oh no!" Toni lamented. "You've finally discovered our insidious plot to keep an eye on you!" This brought a smile to her face, briefly. "You'll get it back. I have faith." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I knew it! I knew you had to be an LMD and there's a conspiracy!" Anya laughed a little. It felt good to laugh even a little. There hadn't been much to laugh at lately.

"I know we will. Dad needs to get better so him, Pepper and your dad can kick her ass back out on the street."

"How about a week or two somewhere else after this is all done? You, me, a dozen or so half naked guys, sun and drinks. Doens't that sound good?"

"No better ass-kicking team around," Toni said. "Except maybe for you and me."

It worried her, though. Even with his nanites acting at their best, Uncle Tony was looking a long recovery. Maybe even more than long enough for this usurping witch to totally bring down the house that Stark built.

"Just so long as we don't end up in the papers again, okay? I've had my fill of being a celebrity. Few idiot paparazzi out their still trying to catch photos of the "mutant menace.'"

She grinned a little. "At least they do until their cameras turn on them."

Anya grinned. "Of course. We know the younger generation does it better." Not a chance in hell. Dad and Uncle Rhodey could school their asses and they both knew it.

"Promise. No tabloids." A pause. "Well nothing for them to report on except us lounging in the sun."

Anya grinned. "Yes, well some of us would like to be a mutant menace. I got the short end of the gene pool around here."

	Toni shrugged. "Eh, it's not that great. Not like I can fly, like Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please. You are still able to do things when you're not wearing your suit or if your suit gets damaged. Me? I get to stand by and go 'Help! Help! Damsel in distress!' Unless of course writing computer code is involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eh, I'm just pointy floaty stuff girl," Toni said, though perhaps conceding a bit. Telekinetic manipulation of hard matter, like metal, glass, and plastic, combined with an innate understanding of how to make machinery work, well... Okay, she did pretty well in the super-power lottery. "You're still the brains of this outfit," she added. "Suit or not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still not smart enough to not set the kitchen on fire though." Anya didn't know how she would have survived this far without Toni. The two of them were thick as thieves and had been since they were both in diapers. "Speaking of my cooking failure, I'm a little hungry. Want something? I'm going to call out for something."

	"You know, I never have a problem with the appliances. Guess I just know how to talk to them." "Sounds good," she replied. "We should order from that new Cajun restaurant that opened up last week. It's not quite authentic, but it's pretty good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-07-09 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Again, fancy powers," Anya reminded her. "You know what, screw this. Let's go get some real Cajun food. Race you to New Orleans." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was going to totally have to leave discreet messages with her dad and Misha, but anything that got Anya out of her funk... "You're on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-07-10 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled. "Just give me a half hour to get changed and tell my mother where I'm going. Then we're off to the Big Easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-07-10 05:41 am UTC (link)
	"All right. Meetcha by the suits." Plenty of time to call Dad and Misha then. (Reply to this)(Parent)
