Chapter 52: Chapter 52: House Visit
[Third Person's PoV]
The Next Day…
Friday hovered around Tony, holding a tool kit as he tightened a screw.
"Boss, your company has already arrived," Friday informed him, causing Tony to put the screwdriver down.
"Thanks, Friday…" Tony said as he went to greet everyone.
Friday took the tool box off her head and followed Tony around as he grabbed a towel to clean his hands.
The doorbell rang. "I'm coming! I'm coming! Don't get your panties in a twist," Tony said as he opened the door to find Momo with Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina, and Jiro.
Momo was blushing slightly. "Your language is always so crass."
Tony rolled his eyes, throwing the towel over his shoulder. "Anyways, come on in. Sorry for not looking presentable; I was working on something."
"Thanks for the invite," they said, bowing politely as they made their way inside.
"Make yourself at home," Tony said, gesturing around himself.
"Woah! This house is so nice," Mina said, spinning in a circle and looking upwards.
"You know, people usually say that after they see the entirety of the house… not just the ceiling," Tony teased.
"We don't need to see the entire house to say this place is very nice," Kaminari nodded in agreement with Mina.
"Well, of course, it's nice. I designed it. Now come, I'll give you guys a tour." As Tony guided them around, he looked at Momo in confusion. "You've already seen the place. Why are you going along with the tour?"
Momo grew embarrassed. "I was going along with the flow. I didn't know when was the best time to leave."
Tony almost face-palmed as he shook his head. "So, do you guys want anything to eat or drink? My maid could quickly make it."
"You have a maid!?" Kaminari asked excitedly, causing the other girls to look at him weirdly.
Kaminari leaned in and whispered, "Is she beautiful?"
"The prettiest," Tony whispered back. "Here, take a look."
"BAYMAX!"
Hearing this, Momo covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.
'Baymax?' Kaminari wondered.
They soon heard squeaky footsteps. When Baymax appeared, he was wearing a maid outfit with a little maid hat and holding a duster.
He did his little hand greeting. "Hello, I am Baymax, your personal maid for the duration of your stay."
Jiro stifled a laugh. "She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen."
Kaminari dropped to all fours, looking at Tony with tears in his eyes. "You have the heart of the devil! How can you trick me like that!?"
"If you guys want to drink or eat anything, and I mean anything, ask Baymax. He will be able to get you anything."
"Anything, anything?" Mina asked mischievously.
Tony had a confident smirk. "Try it."
Mina put a hand on her chin as she pondered. "Alright, I'll test this out. Baymax, may I have a milkshake that's a quadruple-decker, half-chocolate, half-vanilla, with a twist of strawberry and a hint of mint, layered with chunks of cookie dough, sprinkles of caramel, and a swirl of marshmallow. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream, but only the organic kind, drizzled with both hot fudge and salted caramel. Add a sprinkle of crushed pistachios, a dash of nutmeg, and precisely three maraschino cherries on top. Oh, and it needs to be served in a vintage-style glass with a curly straw that's in the shape of a heart, please and thank you," Mina said challengingly.
"As you wish." Baymax bowed and waddled towards the kitchen.
"Is it weird that I want to hug it?" Kirishima mumbled.
"He is very soft and huggable," Momo nodded with a large smile. "Just know you aren't alone in those feelings."
The kitchen then began to sound like a war zone. "Is he alright in there?" Jiro asked awkwardly.
Not a minute later, Baymax walked out with a tray in hand, holding Mina's exact order. Mina's mouth was slightly agape as Baymax presented it to her.
"Thank you," she answered in shock. She took a sip from the curly heart straw and squealed, "Soooo gooooood~" before drinking more.
Baymax continued to look at her, waiting with his tray in hand, causing her to look at him in confusion.
"He won't leave your side until you are finished and say you are satisfied with his services," Tony explained. Mina nodded in understanding.
Momo then asked, "You said you were working on something. What was it?"
"Oh, nothing serious. I'm building a jet. If it works as intended, it could fly me to America in under an hour."
"YOU'RE BUILDING A JET!?" they all shouted.
"I'm right here, literally no need to yell," Tony rolled his eyes. "Come, I'll show you guys."
As Tony began guiding everyone towards his workshop, Jiro asked, "Hey, where's Melissa?"
"Ah, she's currently training. She's pretty excited about the Sports Festival."
"She is?" Kirishima asked in confusion.
Tony nodded. "Yup, she believes this will be the best opportunity to show everyone that she isn't only an assistant, that she herself is very skillful."
Kaminari looked confused. "From what I heard, Melissa fought really well against the villains and those monsters. What else does she need to prove?"
"That information isn't available to the public. Mostly everyone believes Melissa is where she is today simply because of me. Which isn't entirely wrong, but it isn't right either. She is where she is mostly due to her hard work."
The others nodded in understanding. As they reached his workshop, they were all amazed. Everything appeared as if it was made from a sci-fi movie.
What amazed them even more were all of his suits on display. "Woah, those are a lot," Kaminari said in awe.
"It's cool. It's like seeing age progression by the heights of the suits," Mina said, still holding her milkshake.
"Some of the designs are just so manly…"
They all began looking and studying the suits, forgetting the reason they were down there in the first place, except for Momo, who shook her head with a smile.
Tony leaned over and said, "I just wanted to say, you were the same way when you came here."
Momo got a bit shy. "I know, I know… So shall we see that jet you're making?" she asked, drawing back the others' attention.
Tony nodded and guided everyone to where he was working before they arrived. They passed through a door leading to a hangar.
In the middle was a large metal framework of a jet, appearing to later be able to fit many people. "This is obviously just the framework, but you can see where I'm heading with this."
They nodded, unsure what to say, simply amazed.
"This is the part where you all praise me for how amazing and gifted I am," Tony smirked.
Half of them scoffed in amusement, while the other half nodded in agreement.
Tony's expression then got serious. "Now then, the real reason you guys came here: to train. Be ready… You're about to feel a lot of pain."
They all gulped at his serious expression until he smirked. "Kidding~"
They sighed in relief.
"After I'm done, you won't be able to feel much at all," he smirked sinisterly.
Some of them began to second guess their decision to come over.
