We can always find an empty apartment, they're always in abundance here.

I'm not all that particular, so long as it's quiet and we can spend some time together.

[She rests her head against his shoulder, closing her eyes and letting herself relax, letting the walls she normally kept in place fall.]

[Tony just held here there for a moment, enjoying her closeness. He was reluctant to let her go, as if she might disappear if he did.]

Time together sounds perfect.

I can't believe this place brought us back again.

[Romana ran a finger along the collar of his shirt, just feeling the texture of his skin under the pad of her finger.]

Pity it won't keep us here.

Mmm, no, it probably won't. But I'll take what I can get.

[She can probably also feel that he now has an arc reactor in his chest, like movie!Tony.]

[She does and her fingers explore the edges, a slight frown appearing on her face.]

Love, what is this?

Ah, that.

[He gave a bit of a smile.]

A... necessary upgrade.

[Her fingers continued to trace the outline as she pulled away a little so she could try and study it through his shirt. After all, it was a little too cold to ask him to take his shirt off here.]

Can you take us somewhere? I want to look at it.

Sure, that's not a problem.

[Tony kissed her again before summoning the armor. Carefully holding her, he headed toward the City proper. It didn't take him long to find an empty apartment they could use for the day.]

[It... was not a preferred method of transportation, but once they were landed, Romana rubbed her hands over her arms to warm them. Motioning to the bed, she gave Tony a gentle push.]

Go lie down and take your shirt off.

Well, if you say so.

[Tony grinned and readily obeyed. It was so hot when Romana combined scientific curiosity with potentially erotic statements like that.]

Tony...

[She chuckled a little at his smile, realizing how her statement sounded to him. Leaning over him, she peered at the device worriedly.]

What does it do?

Essentially, it's my brain. Remember how I had to wipe my memories? My brain is useless now for autonomic functions.

It's regulating all of your body's systems?

[She was surprised, it was a sophisticated piece of machinery. Reaching up, she brushed her fingers over his forehead.]

And your higher reasoning, is your biological system handling that?

The Arc Reactor helps with that too.

[He smiled and leaned into the touch.]

It’s actually increased my intelligence.

Oh, you.

[She sits on the bed next to him, leaning forward to brush her lips against his forehead before smiling down at him.]

Only you would take a life-threatening condition and use it to make you smarter.

[Tony just takes a moment to enjoy the simple, intimate gesture, something he's missed lately.]

And faster. And stronger.

And faster. And stronger.

[She chuckled and ran slender fingers through his hair, marveling at the sensation, a sharp ache telling her how much she's missed something that simple.]

I miss you. And I wish these things didn't keep happening to you.

[Tony wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down onto the bed with him.]

I know, but I do keep going looking for them.

[She's more than willing to oblige, curling around him and resting her head on his shoulder with her hand on his chest.]

You do. I wish you wouldn't. If something happened to you... I wouldn't even be able to see you like this.

[Tony reached out and ran his fingers through her hair.]

I wouldn't be me if I didn't do those things.

I know.

[Her eyes drifted closed at the sensation.]

It still doesn't ease my worry any.

What would?

[Her eyes opened.]

Having you with me, of course.

[He grinned.]

And here I was going to distract you.
