As McCoy walked down the stairway, he could hear the heavy beat of ACDC blasting through the speakers downstairs in the workshop. He scoffed, shook his head, and rolled his eyes typing in his passcode eyeing Jodi. He walked toward her shaking his head “JODI!!!! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!!” he shouted through the overpowering music.

“MUSIC!” Jodi shouted back while working on a headset.

“JARVIS! MUTE THE DANG MUSIC!!” McCoy shouted. The music immediately stopped.
Jodi dropped what she was working on and glared at him.

“How rude!” she said in an arrogant way, then picking her headset back up. McCoy stood, looking over her shoulder with an aggravated look on his face. “Like it?” Jodi asked holding her headset up to McCoy.

“What is it, some kind of fancy headphones?” McCoy said in a sarcastic way.

Jodi glared at him again. “Nooo” she said incredulously. “It’s an augmented-cognition headset, it works with algorithms in your mind” she explained as she put it on.

“Dang it Jodi, I’m a doctor, not a computer technician” McCoy exclaimed to her.

“Wait! Check it out! I’ll show you what it does!” Jodi said energetically getting up from her desk to her platform. “Ok Jarvis, let’s do this!” she instructed, holding her arms out. “Jarvis?” she said curiously. Suddenly the left shoulder piece came flying by, hitting McCoy in the head.

“OOOWWWW!!!” he screamed in pain, holding his throbbing head. Jodi stood completely shocked, mouth being covering by her hands.

“Oh my gosh!!! McCoy!!! I’m so sorry!!! Are you alright?!” she shouted, running to his aid.

“If you mean I’m alive, then yes, I’m fine!” he growled, his hand still holding his head.

“Sorry doctor, that was my fault” Jarvis interrupted.

“Oh Jarvis, don’t give yourself such a hard time” Jodi told the robotic program.

“Ok Jodi, I think I’ve seen enough!” McCoy said, walking away toward the door.

“Wait, wait, wait! No! Don’t go! I gotta show you this!!!” Jodi exclaimed, chasing after the doctor.

McCoy turned around and faced Jodi, “I’m probably gonna regret this” he said under his breath.

“Just watch!” she told him, putting her arms on his shoulders as she passed him and got back into her platform. She sighs “Ok, let’s do it right this time. Oh and McCoy, for your sake, and life, get behind me” she instructs her friend, who quickly runs behind her, not wanting the pain of getting hit again. “Concentrate, Jodi, Concentrate” she mutters to herself before summoning the armor to build itself. With a slight flick of her wrist, the pieces of the suit flew into position as it built itself, for once, not messing up.

“Yeah!!!!” Jodi shouted, throwing her arms up in the air in success. She turned to face McCoy, who stood dumbfounded at her success. “Huh? Huh? What I’d tell ya doc!” she exclaimed proudly, slapping his shoulder as she walked off her platform.

McCoy scoffed “Wow! You actually managed not to break anything this time” he said jokingly.

“Gee McCoy, you’re hilarious” Jodi said sarcastically taking her headset off.

“Alright then Jodi, I’m gonna go, I’ll pick you up tomorrow. You better be ready, got it?” McCoy informed Jodi.

“Got it” she said disinterested, seemingly ignoring McCoy completely.

“Jodi, got it?” McCoy asked again, trying to get her attention or at least for her to look at him.

“Got it!” Jodi replied, still not paying any attention to him.

“Are you sure?” he asks annoyed.

“Got it, positive!”
With that, McCoy headed up the stairs, leaving Jodi alone for the night.
The next morning McCoy entered the front door of Jodi’s mansion, not seeing her in sight all.

“Jodi?! Are you ready?” he called out, hoping for a quick response, but no answer. McCoy sighed, already getting annoyed at his friend. “Dang it” he muttered. He started searching throughout the house for her. “Jodi!” he said peeking into the living room. She wasn’t there. “Jodi!” he called out again as he looked in the kitchen, still no sign of her. “Jodi!” he yelled once more, now walking into her bedroom, surprised not to see her in her bed. “Jodi?” he said as he ever so slightly started to turn the bathroom knob

“NO! GET OUT!!!!!!” Jodi screamed slamming the door that McCoy had barely begun to open. “EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?!” she shouted through the bathroom.

“Why don’t you LOCK IT?!” he shouted back crossing his arms.

“BECAUSE I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO LIVES HERE!” she argued. “Jarvis, what part of security system don’t you understand?” she turned her anger toward her robotic system.

“You gave me a passcode to your house!!!” McCoy interrupted, still standing in front of the bathroom door.

Jodi paused for a minute. “That doesn’t mean you have to walk in on me while I’m in the bathroom!”


“Hey! You told me you’d be ready!” McCoy argued


“Well obviously I’m not! Now please, go away or at least get out of my bedroom!” Jodi told him.

McCoy let out another sigh, shaking his head “Unbelievable” he said under his breath as he walked out of her room. He stood outside the door, arms crossed. “Are you ready yet?!” he called out, getting fed up with Jodi being so irresponsible.

“No.” she answered as she opened the door and walked past McCoy.

“No?!”

Jodi walked past the living room, down the stairs that led to her workshop, McCoy following behind her. “McCoy there’s only about 8,011 different things I really need to do before we go” she said as she punched in her passcode, then walking toward her desk. She turned to McCoy, who was getting more and more frustrated by the minute. “I-I gotta talk to Zeke, I gotta figure out how to get this suit to wherever we’re going-“

“Oh no no no! You are NOT taking that hunk of metal with you!” McCoy interrupted

Jodi just smiled at him “yeah I am!” she said enthusiastically.

“Oh and how do you plan to do that?” McCoy said rudely, raising an eyebrow.

“Hmmmm,” Jodi thought, “Don’t know yet” she said as she sat her desk.
Ma’am if I may make a suggestion, why not use the briefcase module?” Jarvis interfered.

“Thanks Jarvis! You’re best!” Jodi called out.

“Always happy to help Ma’am”.

“Well, there’s your answer doc!” Jodi said getting up and placing her hands on top of McCoy’s shoulders. “Yep, done deal. Jarvis, initiate briefcase protocol” she instructed.

“Right away ma’am.” As soon as Jarvis said this, the armor adjusted itself to form what looked like a briefcase.

“Hm, not bad!” Jodi said impressed. “Now, gotta talk to Stane” she said, grabbing her brief case and heading back up the stairs, McCoy closely following.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a second Jodi-“

“Tell ya what, McCoy; I’ll meet you down there!” Jodi said as they headed walked through the living room, out the front door.

“No way, I’m coming with you” McCoy insisted.

“Why?” Jodi shot him a confused look; he’s been rushing her this whole time, now he doesn’t want to leave her side.
 
McCoy sighed, rubbing his head “I don’t trust Ezekiel,” he muttered to her, as if trying to keep it a secret, even though no one else was in sight.

“Zeke? Why not? I’ve known him my whole life!” Jodi told him, now even more confused as to what McCoy was talking about.

“He just seems, I don’t know, suspicious” McCoy told her.

Jodi scoffed “He’s like 60 or 70- something! What’s he gonna do?! Run my foot over with his Segway?!” she said nonchalantly.

I’m serious Jodi! This guy’s up to something! I don’t trust him” McCoy said concerned.

Jodi sighed "Alrighty then, get in the car, let’s go” she told him, opening the door to her antique 2015 red Audi e-tron, and tossing her briefcase into the back. McCoy hopped into the passenger side as they drove to Stark Enterprises.


They got out of the car and entered a tall, white building. Jodi roamed the lobby until she found Ezekiel, a tall older man, whose short scruffy black hair was turning grey, was standing outside his office.

“Hey Zeke! Congrats, you’re in charge for a while!” Jodi announced as she approached the older, yet intimidating man.

“What do you mean kiddo?” Zeke asks, almost sounding enthusiastic about where this was going.

“I got things to do, places to be, and people to meet” Jodi responded light-heartedly, looking up at him.

“What do you mean by that, Jo?” he asked.

“I mean, I’m going to some deep space facility thingy, Starfleet” she explained. McCoy stood close by Jodi, keeping a close eye on the business partner. Jodi patted Zeke’s back and smiled at him “Well, gotta go! Car’s running!” she said as she made her way back to the lobby.

“Take care you two” Zeke called out as McCoy and Jodi exited the door, lightly laughing as he entered his office.


Once Jodi and McCoy entered the car, Jodi gave McCoy a sly smile “See? Was that so bad? Really suspicious” she said sarcastically as she started the car.

“Just drive” McCoy muttered putting his hand on his forehead.

“You got it!” Jodi said excitingly as she slammed on the gas and pulled out of the parking lot, McCoy’s eyes getting large, gripping onto a handle bar.

“Jarvis! Turn on some music!” Jodi instructed

“Of course ma’am” Jarvis replied, immediately the speakers came onto full volume with “Walk this way” by Aerosmith blasting out of them.

“Oh no, not this again” McCoy muttered, rolling his eyes.
So...yeah. ^^; If you're wondering about Ezekiel Stane, he's the son of Obadiah Stane, basically, he worked with Jodi's dad, it's hard to explain, if you want to know more, note me.

Hope it's still going well! please comment if you liked it!
