Chapter 11: 11- Luna
Sam sighed to himself, typing rapidly on the computer as he absentmindedly kept an eye on a separate monitor next to him. There, Troy was getting used to having full autonomy with a Q&A session, asking him questions to get more accustomed to human nature.
[What are you doing?]
"I'm working on a new body for myself."
[...Does every human need duplicates of their bodies?]
"Haha, no Troy they don't, but I do because of my ability to inhabit a separate body. This way, the threat to my life will essentially be nothing while I'm outdoing whatever." He explained.
[...That seems...Smart?]
"It is, Troy, and you can come to your own conclusions."
[Why not hide your identity? Would that not lead to potential danger?]
I smiled, glad that Troy was becoming more confident in his queries. "Yes, but there's also no point in hiding when those up high already know of my existence."
Troy went silent them, not asking any more questions for a long while. I was glad for that though, as it allowed me to finish up on the first draft of the new body.

"Hmm? Oh, Luna texted me."
[Hey, haven't seem you in a while. You busy today?]
[No, just working on a side project. You have any ideas or do you just want me to find a spot?]
[You can do it :)]
[Then get dressed and let me know when you're ready, I'll pick you up.]
[Okie! :))]
I chuckeled, shaking my head. "It's about time for a break anyway. Troy, send this off to Jarvis to print for me."
[Got it boss]
'He's becoming more lifelike by the minute.'

In a small coffee shop, a young man and woman could be seen sitting in a private booth. It was 'private' because it was far enough away from other tables to be out of earshot, and it was a nice shop so it wasn't like anyone was being nosy.
'Outside that one group of girls...' I muttered, glancing over at a group of six or seven girls chattering away, both pointing at us and taking pictures.
Luna tapped my arm, getting my attention back. "Hey, just ignore them. It won't be long before you get followed around either ya know?" She raised an amused brow at me.
I rolled my eyes. "What would I do to get that kind of attention?"
"Well for one you're at a nice coffee shop with the wonderful muah, and for two I know you well enough to say tha it won't be long before you start making waves."
I froze. I was in fact just about to launch a tech company like I had told Tony. "Cough, your intuition is too good sometimes."
Luna's eyes sparkled in excitement as she leaned toward me, unknowingly activating her power. Little bits of snow began to flake at the tips of her hair, floating down onto the table.
It was a little quirk of hers that I found cute. Whenever she gets emotional she accidentally stats making snowflakes around her head and hands. Sometimes her breath comes out frosty too.
"What is it? TellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellmeTellme-"
"Allright, allright, I'll tell you!" I surrendered, raising my hands with an easy smile.
"Yay!" Luna called out a bit too loud, drawing some to smile at her enthusiasm. "Well?"
"It's a tech company, but I don't know what to call it. I was thinking Primus Industries, but most wouldn't know why."
She laughed. "Let them think whatever they want to, I like the name! What's your first product?" She took a long sip of her Boba, keeping eye contact with me.
There was sketching about her eyes that made me think she was some kind of mage or something. Just a childlike sparkle that never left them. I'm getting distracted again. She always manages to do this to me!
"I'm working on a type of nanobot that would travel through the body intravenously, patching up any injuries along the way. I need to do more testing with that though, willing people either in prisons or hospitals."
Luna nodded. "That's a really good idea, but make sure thatvit can't harm the body. Add an emergency fail switch incase something goes wrong."
I smiled at how she was trying to keep up with my ideas. It was cute. "Already done that. It was much too aggressive in the first tests, but I managed to make it more...gentle."
"Anyway untill that's ready, I'm launching a catalog of adaptable prosthetics. They'll be a pretty penny, but it's worth it. There's also a cheaper version for anyone with extream needs."
Luna smiled brightly. "Theres something about you being smart that tickles my brain funny, hehe."
My own brain shortcurcuited for a moment, and I had to manually reboot it. By the time I did so, I found Luna snapping a picture of my dazed face, making me blush. "You will delete that."
"Haha, why would I? You look so cute!" I obly blushed harder. Why is the pop star so unaffected and shameless about flirting?!
"This means war, you know that right?"
Luna raised a brow, crossing her arms in challenge. "Oh? Bring it on Mechhead."
I smirked. "You're gonna regret that."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LET ME DOWN NOW!" Luna screamed in terror, desperately holding my shoulders in an attempt to not fall off of me.
We were far above the streets of New York, flying with the rockets that putted out of my feet. I had borrowed Tony's prototype suit again, mostly because I knew it would freak our Luna- in the good way of course.
Said Luna started banging on my shoulder. "Okokokokokok, I'm sorry, you win! Please put me down!"
I laughed, dropping her like she asked. She panicked for a moment before her feet touched down on a roof. Looking around herself, she found that I had brought us up to the top of The Empire State building.
Luna looked at me, the fear now gone, her eyes sparkling again. "You-"
"Mhm. I know you like to watch the sunset. Where else could we watch it than atop the tallest building in the city?"
"Sammy!" Luna nearly tackled my Livewire body, but I managed to jump out before she banged her head as she tackled me to the floor in a tight hug.
I lied there for a while, enjoying the feeling of a one of a kind beauty giving me a bear hug.
I could get used go this
