Low Scale Improvement

Tony decided it would be better to upgrade the boys, giving them better dexterity, fingers, and optional tools that could help him with multiple things at once, that included high fives, something he couldn't help but add for some reason.

The Internet had begun to spread, only on the public scale at least. Publically it was something slowly catching on, as it would be for quite a few months, but that was fine.

He was simply starting it earlier, allowing him to get his foot in the door before everyone else. At the same time, this also allowed a lot of people to begin contracting directly to stark industries for their needs. This also included quite a few workers that were now willing to hope on board, since Stark Industries despite the whole 'No weapons' thing, was now gaining momentum again.

A few things happened in the few weeks since we last saw Tony and his construction project, for one. The project was finished, machines that helped him put on, and take off his suit now were implemented into the work shop, as well as underground repair benches that Jarvis watched over.

The Parkers had both come to a small milestone in their project for what would be currently dubbed an 'Immunity Booster' it was basically a flu shot that would work for more than just the flu, making it harder for humans as a whole to get sick.

They were in the testing stages currently, working out the kinks. Having been able to get the rights to test on animals pretty easily from the board since most of them were getting on in their years, and due to the nature of them all, had troubles looking after their health while trying to balance their duties as a board member, and people who had their own studies.

The hardest one to get was the 'Right to Test' under the name of Stark Industries, but some personally attended dinner dates, and a few 'Charity' parties, made it easy for Tony to get the right license.

The biggest thing that happened was the 'Job' offer Tony made to James.

-----------------------

There was a knock at the door to his workshop, Tony looked up from the reactor of his suit, pulling a large sheet over it. He made his way to the door, brushing his hands off into a damp towel that one of the bots had already prepared for him since they knew James would be coming today.

Opening the door Tony spread out his arms. ''James, my best friend! Dressed for comfort this time, that's a good sign. Come on in and take a seat on the couch, I'll get us the food and beer.''

''Damn Tony... I didn't notice last time, but have you been working out? Put on some actual muscle to ya...'' James said as he looked around, walking deeper into the workshop as he let out a whistle.

''Man, I went to college with you and I can already see things I have no idea about... How far into the future are you?'' James states with wonder as he sat down on the couch, pushing his shoes off under the table as Tony set down the sandwiches and pizza onto the table along with their drinks and beer.

''Been putting on some muscle to look out for my health... Don't look at me like that, nothing is wrong with me, but it doesn't hurt to stay in good shape. As for your second question... Pretty damn far ahead, you have no idea.''

Then began a genuine conversation, the both of them talking about how they'd been, what they'd been up to, a sports game that despite Tony not being interested, listened to James the entire time since he did take an interest. Just as James kept quiet while Tony was talking away about his projects.

When he mentioned the immunity booster James became interested.

''Wait so, I wouldn't need to go into the doctors, and get a ton of shots every few years?'' James asked, genuinely hopeful.

''In theory, yes. It would be one shot, depending on how the tests go depending on how long between each shot you would need if any. The Parkers are geniuses in their field, It's been a blast to work with them.''

''I bet, I remember reading one of their projects together not to long ago, understood most of it, and I'm surprised you were able to get them so quickly.''

Tony chuckled a bit, sipping at his beer. ''You and me both.''

''Alright... So what're some of the good stuff you've been working on?''

''Well, you know when we were younger, still in school and we seen these movies with these cool hologram effects, being able to touch code?''

James watched him a moment before he leaned back, slamming his beer down onto the wooden table. ''If you cracked how to make holograms real, I might just hug you.''

''Hug me? You're not even ready yet. Jarvis? Bring up the digital render of the game.''

''As you wish Sir.''

James' face rapidly began to change as he heard the voice, looking around before it slowly clicked, just as he watched the large workshop begin to move as a massive hologram took place, letting James experience the game as if he was there.

He even tried to touch a player as he ran by only for his hand to go through the display.

''Wait... Did you make an A.I.?'' James suddenly turned to look at him, stars in his eyes as it felt like they were back in the dorm, dreaming about these things.

''Oh, I did one better, self-learning.'' Tony grinned, finishing his beer before he stood. ''Come on, that's not even some of the good stuff.''

Walking to the center of the large workshop he began to pull in multiple blueprints from around him, one of them in the far back is the suit.

James stood up, looking at all of them as he rubbed his head. ''Tony... What the hell have you been smoking, and where can I get some?''

James continued to look at all the blueprints, only before he came to the suit, inspecting the information before his eyes slowly widened, turning to look at Tony.

''Tony... This blueprint says it's a finished product?''
