You did what with another AI? I'm a /what/?
It was getting to be crunch time and finals were on the horizon and Anya was doing the usual last minute push to get things done before the end of the semester. The end of her second year was fast approaching and there was a project to finish up before finals hit.

She looked at the computer screen. That couldn't be right. Dammit she just did a diagnostic on the M.A.R.A.'s (Maintenance And Repair Automoton) systems and these readouts looked /wrong/. Well they looked very different from the ones from the diagnostics she did two days ago. This couldn't be happening now. Not when she was so close to finishing the project and handing it in.

"Goddard? Are these the correct readouts?" she asked the AI in her lab.

	"Yes, this is true. Still, we'll work through it, Anya. No one is leaving anyone if I get my say in it. I just have to convince your mother that I was acting to keep her safe, rather than trying to keep her out of the loop. That's going to be hard-fought battle, but not impossible." Tony says.

	"I know, but Mom will see reason...eventually." It was usually just a question about how long it takes her to do that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, all I've got to do is wait. Luckily, this gives me time to work on a toy idea for Eddie and get a few other things done that I've been thinking of." Tony smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not going to ask. Plausible deniability and all that jazz." She could just imagine what kinds of things her father could come up with for her little brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony just laughs. Someday, Steve will have to deal with a crazy inventor making all kinds of crazy toys for their baby. "Speaking of kids...this thing about the AIs having a kid was a late April Fool's Joke, right? They didn't really suggest that to you, did they?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not a joke and they didn't suggest it. They went and did it. They also hijacked a MARA I was going to use for a class project." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This doesn't comfort me, Anya. Bad things happen when AIs do things on their own. Have you considered deactivating them? We can't afford another Ultron happening." Tony warns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wrote failsafes into Goddard and Darlene. I have one to put into the 'kid'. Don't worry, Dad. I won't make another Ultron." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"/You/ won't. It's /them/ I'm worried about." Tony says with a sigh. "This would only happen in our family. You know that, right? I'm not sure I should tell your mother about this, because I don't think she'd like to be a great-grandma so soon after having a baby." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-05-25 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I know. It kind of goes along with the name," Anya smirked. "I think that may be a good idea. According to her she's too young to be any type of grandma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She's going to be saying that even when the grey hairs finally show up. Granted, she'll be mostly right, but still. Meanwhile, I'm getting too old for you to scare me like this. I thought you and Steve found a time-machine stuck on fast-forward or something.

Of course, if you /do/ have kids that have kids, make sure you tell them that Grandpa Tony drives the funvee and Grandpa Clint drives the hum-drumvee. Okay?" Tony grins.

	"Will do. Anything for you." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Love you, Daddy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_ravingmad 2011-05-25 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Love you too, Princess." Tony smiles. No matter how crappy his day was going, a kiss from his little girl always made the difference. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now you can treat me to something to eat," she said and hooked an arm around his. "And you can tell me how you're going to go public with zero point energy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The first I can do. The latter is really simple. You and Justin are going to go public with zero-point energy, as you two have done all the heavy lifting for it." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't want to do it," Anya said. "I like being behind the scenes. You do it. You like the spotlight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_ravingmad 2011-05-27 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"Well, yes I do, but only when it's deserved. This isn't my spotlight, Princess. You and Justin are the future of Stark Industries and I think people need to become aware of that." Tony says. "Are you /sure/ you don't want to do this? Because if you don't, then Justin has to do it." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fine," she sighed. "I'll do it with him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony smiles. "Excellent. Press conference is set for Monday." Tony says. "What's for lunch?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're treating me to steak," she said and started to lead him out of the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)
