[Third Person's PoV]

i had her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth as she concentrated on assembling the white and blue bow in front of her. The bow sat atop a placeholder as she carefully pieced everything together.

However, sothing was still missing—the string that was supposed to hold and shoot the arrows.

When i finished, she lifted her goggles from her eyes and put her hands on her hips with a proud expression. She then playfully pretended to cry, wiping her eyes with her forearm. "My baby looks so beautiful. I'm actually shedding tears of joy."

Tony couldn't help but scoff in amusent, shaking his head. "Anyway, here," he said, handing her a pair of pink-colored visors that matched her hair. "These should protect your eyes and guard them just in case. They're actually connected to your bow and quiver, so you'll be able to summon them ntally with the neural transmitter. Not to ntion, they should help you with your aim—calculating wind speed, arrow trajectory, etc., etc.," Tony explained, moving his hands in a circle as if to list all the features.

"Hehe," i giggled happily as she put the visors on. She grabbed the stringless bow, and as soon as her hands made contact with the handle, a light blue glowing string zapped into place.

i pulled on the string and watched it snap back into place. She then stuck her tongue out to the side again, pulling back on the string while closing one eye and pretending to shoot an arrow into the distance. However, due to the neural transmitter, her thoughts beca reality, and an arrow made of pure energy ford. Shocked, she accidentally released it.

Luckily, Tony's nanobots swiftly erged from his chest, covering his hand as he grabbed the arrow from behind her just as she released it. He squeezed it, causing it to dissipate with a sigh as the nanites then swam back into his reactor.

"Well, that could have been dangerous," Tony said in a teasing tone.

i practically tossed the bow onto the desk alongside her visors, putting her hands behind her back and looking around nervously.

"Ah… I didn't an for that to happen…" she said apologetically. "Soone could have gotten seriously hurt…"

"It's alright. No one got hurt, and if they did, we have everything we need here to take care of it."

"But still…" i said, sounding a bit down.

"Accidents happen. No one said inventing was ever safe. I can't tell you the number of tis lissa and I had a misfire or cut ourselves while creating sothing new. I'm sure you've had your own share of dangerous accidents, and I'm sure this won't be your last."

"I suppose you're right…"

"So, shall we take these bad boys for a proper test run? Which, if you ask , is the best part of any good invention," Tony said, raising an eyebrow as he handed her so protective gloves.

i glanced at the bow once more, grabbed the visor, and put it back on. With a serious expression, she nodded.

…

Tony and i stood in his training room, where flying targets floated around—so moving, so stationary.

i pretended to be a skilled archer by taking a deep breath before aiming her bow straight ahead. Her deanor shifted to one of focus as she began to draw the bow back, causing an arrow to form on the glowing string and within the circle in the middle.

As she fully drew the bow, the strings emitted pulsating blue energy, charging the arrow. The longer she held the arrow back, the stronger and more powerful it beca.

i took careful aim at a target and released the arrow. It shot off like a beam, cutting through the air with power and precision. As it hit the target, it exploded into a blue burst, causing the hologram to flicker and reveal the true nature of the targets—flying androids made of vibranium. The hit was registered as 10 points on a holographic display.

"Woah! That was aweso!" i celebrated. She then gave the bow a twist, causing it to change colors. The string turned red, and as she pulled back, an arrow made entirely of flas ford.

i held it for a few seconds, causing the arrow to grow hotter. The air around it began to crackle, and the tip of the arrow even started to turn blue.

i's eyes zood in on the farthest target, and with careful aim, she released the fiery arrow. It shot through the air like a missile made of fire, hitting its target with an explosive force.

Excited, she flicked the bow two more tis. One turn created an arrow made of cold energy, while the other generated one made of lightning.

"This bow is so cool!" i exclaid excitedly.

"Well, I'm glad you like it," Tony nodded with a satisfied grin. "There's sothing great about satisfying a custor."

"Eh? But wasn't I the one who made it?"

"But who was it that designed it?"

"Touché." i laughed.

i let out a sigh and placed a hand on her hip. "Phew, that was fun," she said, handing the bow and visor back to Tony.

Tony looked at her, confused. "What?"

"Here, I already had my fun. Let's create more cool stuff!" i said eagerly.

"Keep it. It's yours," Tony replied, waving it off.

"Eh?"

"Think of it as a souvenir for working with a Stark."

"Really?" i asked, taken aback.

"Yeah, what am I going to do with that?" Tony shrugged.

i bead and hugged Tony. "Thank you!"

Tony patted her arm. "Speaking of souvenirs..." He pulled out his phone, but before he could finish, his expression turned serious. "You should go ho now."

"Ehhh? Are you kicking out? Was the bow to let down gently? Was it a farewell gift? Did I do sothing wrong?" i asked, suddenly worried.

Tony maintained his straight expression and flipped his phone toward her. "i… It's twelve o'clock… Midnight. You can co back tomorrow."

"Oh…" i said, rubbing the back of her head and laughing awkwardly. "Hahaha, that's so embarrassing, hahaha."

Tony just shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Co on, I'll get you a ride ho."

i nodded and pressed a button on the bow's handle, watching as it shrank into a small canister that she clipped to the side of her pants. "Can I leave my stuff here since I'm coming back tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I don't mind," Tony said as he arranged for her transportation ho.

Once i left, Tony returned to the lab. As he passed by lissa, who was working on a mathematical equation, she muttered under her breath, "Playboy."

"Wha–?" Tony began, caught off guard.

"Hmm?" lissa turned to him, blinking exaggeratedly and tilting her head in mock confusion.

Tony stared at her with a straight face as she continued to blink at him rapidly. "Do you need sothing, Mr. Stark?"

Tony shook his head and started to walk away.

"First Momo, then Toru, now i. I wonder who's next?" lissa mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.

Tony's shoulders slumped as he sighed. He placed both hands on his hips and looked up. "lissa, lissa…"

lissa blinked in confusion, not expecting that reaction.

"I'll give you five seconds to run…" Tony said ominously.

"Pfft, why would I run–" lissa didn't even finish her sentence before bolting from her seat. When she glanced back, she saw Tony chasing after her.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID FIVE SECONDS?!"
