"Hasn't he come out yet?" Rhodey's voice sounded worried.

"No, he hasn't eaten or slept for almost three days now. I'm worried of him Rhodey." The blonde girl had her eyes all puffy and her voice was all groggy

"He is like this since he came back from the Captain's funeral, I don't think I've seen him this bad, not even when his parents…" She couldn't finish the sentence, she was crying again. "He hasn't even drink; usually he would drink himself to unconsciousness" Rhodey only hugged her and caressed her back.

"It has to be perfect Jarvis"

"Sir, I highly recommend you to get some sleep, is not healthy- "
"I don't want to hear it Jarvis" Another long minute passed.

"The installation of the new STV hardware is done sir."
"Right, deploy it now. Take your time for the adjustments. I will remove the cover as soon as you are ready, surprise me" Tony rolled his chair so he looked to the opposite side of the room.

Next thing he heard was one of the most hope- filling sounds he would.
"Ready and set sir"

His heart was almost pushing the arc reactor out of his chest.
Tony rolled the chair back to the new device and hands shaking he got closer to the cover. His knees trembling, racing heart and hands sweating, he pulled the cover to the floor.

Face to him was the man he was mourning for since three days now. His blue eyes looking trough him.
"Sir, you did it"
Hell, even the voice matched; only the tone was wrong. The past weeks that voice sounded mad at him, it had yelled to him and charged of anger.

He looked now at his new device with sad eyes. These eyes of him had tried to fool him.
The droid looked like him, Tony's heart felt like when he was real but his brain remembered him that this device wasn't the man he used to love, the man he would never see again.

He let his head fall over the droid's shoulder, without touching it.

Jarvis was still adjusting the eyes setting when he detected Tony coming towards him. He didn't know what to do. He wasn't programmed to understand that particular behavior.

"Sir?..." Jarvis sensed a drop on his shoulder

"Shut up, Jarvis…"

He wanted to give some privacy to his master so he closed his new eyes and shuttled down the device. He only confirmed the order.

"Yes, sir"
