[Third Person's PoV]
Tony and lissa were back ho after their second day interning with Stars and Stripes. Having just returned from spending ti with their families, they now sat in their lab, eager to dive back into their work.
"So, shall we go over Mark 39?" Tony asked, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
"Isn't i supposed to arrive any minute now?" lissa questioned, glancing at the clock, uncertain if they had enough ti.
"Yeah, but this won't take long," Tony replied, waving off her concerns. "We're just looking at the nanosuit's performance and what could be improved."
lissa shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "If you say so. Do you want to start?"
"Sure. For starters, the suit responds incredibly quickly to ntal commands. When i caused that misfire, I managed to cover my hand and catch the arrow in seconds. The reaction ti is practically instantaneous."
lissa nodded thoughtfully. "I have to say, I'm impressed with the Energy Converter you integrated into the suit. You based it off Momo's quirk, didn't you?"
Tony grinned. "Yeah, I've been studying Momo's quirk for a few years now, and it really helped out. The Energy Converter uses energy to create things, but instead of generating objects like Momo, it synthesizes chemical elents. With just a quick ntal command, you can create practically anything."
"You know, you could have designed an entire suit around that alone. The potential is insane," lissa said, her tone filled with admiration. "At least now, if we need to put out a fire, we won't need the suits with water tanks. We can just convert the energy into hydrogen and 2 oxygen, and problem solved."
Tony's eyes widened as he stroked his chin in thought. "Damn… I could make a whole hydrogen bomb with the Energy Converter."
lissa shot him a sharp look. "Tony… don't even think about it."
He gave her a mischievous smile. "But it could be useful, couldn't it?"
"Useful for what? Killing us all?" she retorted, crossing her arms and giving him a stern glare.
"Alright, alright, no bombs..." Tony replied with a hint of sadness.
lissa shook her head in exasperation until she heard Tony mutter under his breath, "For now..."
"Moving on," lissa said, eager to change the subject. "We haven't really had anyone damage the suits, so we can't comnt on their regenerative properties."
"And I say that's a good thing. If no one's been able to damage them, we must be doing a mighty good job," Tony replied with a grin.
"That, I can agree with," lissa nodded.
"Wait, can we revisit the Energy Converter for a mont? You ntioned making it into a standalone suit, and honestly, that's not a bad idea—a suit fully focused on the elental aspect."
"What's the point? Don't we already have that in our Nanotech suit?" lissa asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but that suit is centered around Nanotechnology, with the Converter as an added bonus. This one would be the opposite—centered around the Converter, with the Nanotech as the bonus. I'll call it Mark 40: The Elental King Suit."
"Mark 41," lissa corrected.
"What?"
"Mark 41," she repeated, "I'm already working on the Mark 40 suit. I'm just ironing out so details, and I should be done by tomorrow. It's about sothing I've been researching and studying. This one's a milestone, so it deserves to be Mark 40," lissa said proudly.
"Alright then, it'll be Mark 41. And funnily enough, I already have an idea for Mark 42 as well," Tony said with a smirk.
"Already? We haven't even built Mark 40 or 41, and you're already thinking about Mark 42?" lissa shook her head. "So, what's 42 about, then?"
"That's going to be a surprise, just like your Mark 40. But I'll give you a hint—I got the idea after studying Toru's mutation in combination with sothing we use every day."
"Okay, now I'm interested," lissa smiled. "So, does this mark the end of our performance review? Although, we barely did any reviewing."
Before Tony could respond, Friday interrupted their conversation. "Boss, your intern has arrived."
"I guess that answers your question. Let her in, Friday. Have her et us down here," Tony ordered.
"Sure thing, boss."
"Have fun," lissa said sarcastically, spinning back to her seat with a satisfied grin.
"You seriously want to do this again?" Tony asked with a straight face.
lissa began humming loudly, swaying side to side, pretending not to hear him. "Jarvis, I'm going to need your help going over these equations to make sure they're correct."
"Of course, Mada," Jarvis responded.
Tony rolled his eyes as i popped up into their lab once more. "Your favorite intern is here to learn so more! Let's make so babies!! Woohoo!"
*Snap*
They all turned towards the sound and found lissa holding a broken stylus. "Oops, I guess I don't know my own strength anymore."
"..."
'Those were made using fortified tal…' Tony thought.
"Hey, lissa!" i greeted with a charming smile and a wave.
'Ugh, now I feel guilty about getting mad—she's so innocent…' lissa thought to herself before greeting i back.
"Alright, boss! What will your favorite intern learn today?" i asked, practically glowing with excitent.
"What favorite intern? You're my only intern," Tony scoffed. "And today, I'm going to teach you about internal structure, planning, energy efficiency, and much more, yesterday was more of an introduction, today is when the real learning begins"
i's eyes sparkled with anticipation as Tony pulled up a holographic display. "Support items are all about enhancing a hero's abilities or compensating for their weaknesses. The trick is to make them intuitive and integrated seamlessly into their use."
He swiped his hand, revealing various designs of support items. "First, let's talk about internal structure and planning. Whether it's a simple grappling hook or a more complex exoskeleton, the internal structure is crucial. You have to consider how the item will be used, what kind of stress it'll undergo, and how to make it as efficient and effective as possible."
Tony highlighted a design for a compact energy shield. "Take this, for example. It's designed to deploy quickly and withstand heavy impacts. But it's not just about slapping on so strong material and calling it a day. The internal structure needs to distribute the force of an impact evenly to avoid weak points. That's where the planning cos in."
i leaned in, fascinated. "So, it's like making sure the item can handle stress without breaking or losing its functionality?"
"Exactly," Tony said, pleased with her quick grasp. "And then there's energy efficiency. A lot of support items rely on so form of energy, whether it's electricity, kinetic, or sothing else. You need to ensure that energy is used efficiently. Otherwise, the item might fail when it's needed the most."
He pulled up a blueprint for a portable propulsion device. "This little beauty uses kinetic energy to propel a hero in short bursts. The challenge is to make sure it provides enough power without draining too quickly. That's where material choices and design tweaks co in."
i's mind was racing with ideas. "So, we need to think about the energy source, how it's stored, and how it's used?"
"Bingo," Tony said with a nod. "And don't forget about user experience. A support item is no good if it's too complicated to use in the heat of battle. It needs to be intuitive, sothing a hero can activate or control without a second thought."
He brought up a new design for a retractable grappling hook. "This one, for instance, is designed to be operated with just a squeeze of a handle. Simple, but effective."
i grinned, already thinking of ways to improve it. "Got it. So, what's next?"
"Next, we're going to take these designs and start prototyping," Tony said. "You'll get hands-on with the process—tweaking designs, testing them out, and making improvents. This is where the real learning happens."
i's eyes lit up with excitent. "Yes! Let's do this!"
Tony chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Alright, intern, let's get to work."
