Avenger's Tower was just as Hillevi remembered, which was a surprise considering that Tony was prone to causing explosions, Bruce could turn into a giant green rage monster, Jane often made blackholes in her lab, and the sheer number of enemies the group had accumulated was pretty staggering.

Pepper had explained-while casually going through reports with her Espeon, Eddie-that Tony had been in correspondence with a fellow inventor in Kalos for a while, Bruce had been volunteering at various Pokemon Orphanages, and Jane had been on tour with Darcy for the last two months, giving lectures on the Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

That certainly explained a lot.

"Half-pint!"

Hillevi squeaked as Tony burst into the common room, earning a blank stare from James where he was reading a book in the armchair.

"I was thinking about your awesome duel to the death!"

"It wasn't a duel to the-"

"And had a great idea about how to upgrade your peg leg!"

With a flourish, Tony produced a hologram schematic of a new design, and Sharpshot slit one eye open from her perch on Meatlug's back as Cloudjumper sat up on the couch-back, ears twitching forward.

Unlike her current model, which was a pair of fitted metal pieces supported by a sanded wood back, this one was more intricate, with a curved piece and a pole that connected the top and bottom of the half circle that seemed to act like a piston.

"Whoa…" Hillevi breathed, reaching out to manipulate the hologram with both hands to see the specifics.

"And the best part!" Tony continued, earning an eye roll from Rani and a snicker from Felix. "This new design? One hundred percent non-magnetic!"

"Really?" She voiced, surprised.

"Of course, really! I've already got J.A.R.V.I.S. getting the materials together, and you'll be bouncing around on a new peg leg in no time!"

For a long moment, Hillevi just looked at him…

And smiled.

"Sounds great, Tony. I can't wait."
