Author: Del Rion (delrion.mail (at) gmail.com)
Fandom: Iron Man (MCU)
Timeline: Several years before the events of “Iron Man”.

Characters: James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Tony Stark, Tony’s bots (DUM-E and U). Mentioned: J.A.R.V.I.S.
Summary: Rhodey feels he often needs a manual to understand the bots. It’s fortunate the bots don’t require a manual to manhandle Rhodey - especially when Tony’s life is at risk.
Complete. Part of “Genius, AI & Bots” series.
Written for: My card on Trope Bingo’s round 3 (square: “character in distress”)
Warnings: Language, physical danger (from being crushed by a heavy object).
Teaser:
Just as he was about to head for the stairs, Rhodey heard the elevator let out a soft ping and turned, fully expecting to see an oil-stained genius stepping out of it, totally oblivious to having almost blown off their lunch plans. Instead he saw one of Tony’s bots rolling out of the elevator, its arm turning this way and that to view the area.
Rhodey wasn’t sure if the bots were supposed to come upstairs. Perhaps Tony wasn’t even at home, which would be just as likely as him being holed up in the workshop.
The bot - DUM-E, according to the painted name at its side - finally spotted Rhodey, letting out a shrill cry.
Rhodey cringed at the sound, wishing he knew what it meant. Tony always seemed to have an idea of what the bots wanted to communicate to him. “Hi,” Rhodey started.
