26 Ancient one

Following that Nick Fury left the building as Tony sat there for a while without pepper or anyone before walking down to his garage.

*Clap Clap*

"Wake up everyone" Tony said

"Welcome back sir" Jarvis said as some mechanic arms and bots started moving on their own

"What do you have for me Jarvis?"

"There doesn't seem to be any problem with the arc reactor sir, it just happens to keep… rejecting the suit"

"Then let's get to work"

 Tony said as he started trying to repair his suits that took damage while fighting Obi at the same time taking mental notes on adjustments to make and currently he found one major adjustment he needed to make.

Hours into working on his suit, he was so indulged in his work he didn't notice a lady standing behind him, it was after he finished dismantling the torso trying to reconfigure the suit and run tests on the arc reactor to know why it wasn't in synergy with the suit

All still proved to fail as Tony couldn't find a fault in the design nor power distribution of the mark 4 suit which brought him to take the longer route which was to test the arc reactor, so he had to take the arc reactor to test other suits.

As the only sample he was hoping it would be the suits fault so he couldn't wait to be innovative but to his surprise other suits didn't even recognize the arc reactor, it was more like a backup power supply.

A weird scenario where the suit was not taking power and the reactor was not giving.

So the fault was with the reactor, reducing his hopes.

He dropped the reactor on his table and looked at the mess he made which made him think

"I'm getting lazy"

"No!, you're getting influenced to be lazy" a female voice said

Tony was surprised to hear an unknown voice behind him and immediately jumped off where he was holding a screwdriver pointed towards the sound of the voice.

He saw her a robed figure in the garb of a sorcerer exuding the aura of wisdom and power amidst his center of his motor oil and metal.

It was getting too frequent seeing unauthorised people in his mansion and still yet In his garage without him knowing was another.

It begged the question, did they get past Jarvis and what was their purpose here. Tony looked around to see how many people but it Was surprisingly only a female which looked to be in her forties and bald?

At least that's what it looked like.

"Who are you? And what do you want?"

"I apologize to the owner of the apartment for not announcing my entrance, i go by the title 'The ancient one' and i as for what i want, its to know what you are doing here"

She said walking up to make eye contact with him.

She gave off the feeling of being harmless which led Tony to have the misconception of subduing her.

"you are trespassing on private property missy, and I don't fancy it, the least you could do is come clean on why and  how you got here and who knows, I might do the favor of not sending you to jail"
