[Third Person's PoV]
Tony and lissa were casually flying in the air, with the private jet carrying the President between them.
With nothing else to do, lissa began talking to Tony through their comms. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
"I'm actually studying while we fly..."
"Are you serious right now?" lissa asked in a deadpan tone.
"lissa, there's literally nothing to do, and I'm bored out of my mind."
"Tony, we just left the airstrip 5 minutes ago."
"I know, and this could take a while. We have to go at a certain speed, so I decided to use this ti to study."
"..."
"You know, that's actually very smart. What are you studying?"
"Quantum Science. Your suit motivated to revisit it. I'm curious about what other types of suits we could create using quantum science."
"So, you really like my suit, huh?" lissa said proudly.
"Yeah, yeah, gloat all you want. I'll be making a suit ten tis better than yours," Tony scoffed.
lissa sighed. "It's sad that I don't doubt that in the slightest."
"Well, I appreciate your confidence in nonetheless," Tony said with a smirk.
lissa started pressing her fingers together nervously. "So... do you mind if I study alongside you?" she asked, a blush growing on her cheeks.
"Not in the slightest," Tony said with a smile.
"Is it alright to leave the plane unsupervised?" lissa asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry about that. Friday is keeping an eye on everything. She'd spot sothing before we did and let us know."
"I suppose you're right," lissa said, letting go of her worries and joining Tony in his study of Quantum Physics.
Whenever lissa didn't understand sothing, she'd ask Tony, and he'd explain it, which helped reinforce his own knowledge of the subject.
They spent the entire flight talking and discussing multiple topics and theories about Quantum Science, Physics, Chemistry, chanics, and even the Quantum Realm.
"I don't normally curse... but holy shit, Tony! If we could actually navigate the Quantum Realm, we could end up in an alternate reality! That's insane!" lissa exclaid in awe.
Tony chuckled. "Crazy, right? Honestly, all of this is making want to abandon this mission, go ho, and lock myself in my lab... Uh, lissa..."
Hearing Tony's sudden shift, lissa looked at him in confusion. "Yeah?"
"I think we might've gotten too excited and forgotten sothing..."
"What is it? I'm pretty sure we packed everything we needed. Even if we're missing sothing, Friday can deliver it."
"It's not sothing, it's soone..."
lissa's eyes widened. "Oh my god, i!" She facepald.
"Why did you have to get an intern as well, Tony? Just why?"
"i's a lovely girl who loves inventing. I couldn't let go of such talent. She's a diamond in the rough."
"Be honest. If i was a boy, would you have helped?"
"That question is irrelevant."
"Oh no, it's very relevant—to , at least. So don't dodge it, Tony!"
"I plead the fifth."
"You can shove your fifth andnt right up your @$# and—@$#%#$#$ @%%#$@ $#$#@% @@$@!"
"lissa!" Tony gasped. "Wait till your father hears about this. He'd be so disappointed."
"Are you going to answer the question or not?"
Tony cleared his throat. "I won't answer directly, but I'll say this: there are already enough male inventors. As a great feminist, I want to give the ladies a boost, give them opportunities they might not get in this unfair world."
"..."
"If this plane wasn't between us, I would blast you out of the sky for that comnt."
Tony sent her kissy faces through the comms. "Love you too."
lissa rolled her eyes, "So what are you going to do about i, I feel kinda bad."
"The best I could think of is letting Friday be the one to start teaching her while we're not around. And Friday isn't a bad teacher all things considered, for one she's an A.I and secondly she's watched work through mostly everything, so she would be able to teach i plenty"
but before she could retort, the jet began to descend. They realized they had spent the entire flight bickering and studying together without noticing how much ti had passed.
Tony and lissa descended alongside the jet as it landed on the runway. A line of black cars waited in the distance.
As the jet ca to a full stop, Tony and lissa stood by the opposite side of the jet door as it opened. First ca the President, followed by the First Lady, and behind them was Star and Stripes.
The President looked at them and smiled. "Thanks for the escort, you two. I never did get your hero nas."
Tony flashed a peace sign. "Iron Man."
lissa subconsciously saluted and clicked her heels together. "The Iron Maiden, sir."
"Aww, matching hero nas! How adorable," said Evelyn, the First Lady, smiling.
The President nodded with a smirk. "Thanks for the escort, Iron Man and Iron Maiden," he said, leading them toward the cars.
Tony glanced at lissa in confusion, mouthing, "Why did you click your heels and salute?"
lissa looked mortified and on the verge of tears. "He asked for my hero na, and I panicked!"
Tony had to cover his mouth to stop from laughing.
Star and Stripes then motioned for them to follow as they all got into the sa limousine as the President. President Johnathan and First Lady Evelyn sat on one side, while Star and Stripes sat on the other.
As they settled in, lissa looked confused. Evelyn noticed and smiled. "If you have a question, please feel free to ask. No need to be shy."
"Ah, well, wouldn't it be better if we sat in different cars to guard you properly? It's fine for Star to be here, but wouldn't it be better if Tony sat in the front while I sat in the back?"
"It doesn't really matter," Tony said, leaning back and closing his eyes.
lissa looked at Tony in confusion, while the others smiled.
"We're not actually here to protect the President," Tony continued. "The guards around us are more than enough. They're highly trained, and they have powerful quirks. Star is more of a show of power. We're here for the sa reason—to show off, but through our technology. We wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for that."
lissa blinked in surprise. Tony patted her head. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Politics isn't your strongest subject."
President Johnathan laughed. "You're a Stark through and through, kid. Pretty smart, eh?"
"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't."
The President laughed heartily at Tony's response.
