SUMMARY: Iron Man crossover AU#2 [Finch=Tony Stark; Reese=Iron Man; Carter=Pepper; Fusco=Happy]. John tries to settle in to his new role as the man in the iron suit
Reese squirmed in his skin-tight black body stocking, blushing under Carter’s bland regard (why was she here anyway?) while Finch puttered away at his laptop checking the readouts from the various sensors.
John asked plaintively why he couldn’t just wear his boxers and a T-shirt under the Iron Man armor - it wasn’t like anyone could see it anyway. Finch glanced up from his laptop “In addition to helping to regulate your body temperature under extreme conditions during armor use, the form-fitting endoskeleton is also non-conductive as a precaution in case of unexpected sparking in…sensitive areas."
Wincing at that, John resigned himself to the body-hugging garment. Although next time Fusco could act as gopher when Finch had him try it on.
It had taken a bit of practice before John could get the hang of shooting pulsar rays from his palms. But eventually he had adapted and now the firing range was littered with the smoking remains of the demolished targets. John met Finch’s pleased smile with a big grin of his own--this was so cool!
John was surprised when instead of the usual underground bunker he was taken to a huge tent-like structure for his first test with the repulsar boots. He slowly walked to the center of the structure, so smothered in protective gear that he look like a lumpy snowman. Gazing up at the tent over head, he asked
“Wouldn’t open sky be better for a test flight? No one can see us out here and I am likely to smack into that.”
“Exactly. Best to keep to low altitudes, at least at first. After all, what goes up must come down, and a bad landing from too great a height could be….problematic.” (John interpreted “problematic” to be polite for “pancake”)
Finch went on “The tent is made of superelastic flubber in order to stretch in response to impact if you exceed the target height. Flubber has also been incorporated into your protective gear to help absorb and dissipate the force on impact in the event of a forced landing.”
“Flubber?”
“Flexible rubber, another little invention of mine” Finch said modestly.
John revised his initial vision of a pancake to one of a bouncy ball.
