The temptations had been there, when Tony had been away from his body. But that wasn't really what it wanted, it might as well have stuck anyone inside it at that point.

Iron Man wanted Tony, and Tony's body definitely wasn't Tony when he wasn't inside it. With the promise of flying with Tony again it had followed his instructions, even though most of them were things it would have done anyway.

It became excited when Tony called it up to the roof. Tony had promised he would go flying. Iron Man wanted this... no, needed this. Needed Tony. Needed to be with him. It didn't understand why or how, and no amount of time thinking about it made it any easier to understand ( ... )

He didn't like this. He didn't like it at all, and the subtle sensation of knowing that the piece of machinery was behind him, not saying anything was enough to make the hackles on the back of his neck rise. He didn't want to wear it.

Hell, when was the last time he did something he wanted to do? He couldn't even remember the last time he did something he wanted to do.

Go figure.

He sighed, and started unbuttoning his shirt. He was already halfway down the garment before he realized what he was doing. This wasn't his suit. This was the suit he'd destroyed.

However, he had already started. He wasn't just going to stop. No, it was too far now, the Suit would know he was undressing, even if it didn't understand why.

By the time he shrugged off his shirt, his back was already covered in gold, interlocking plates, which continued to crawl up his spine, and higher over the back of his head, before finally deploying fully.

"Let's get this over with."

Tony's reluctance didn't escape Iron Man's notice. It knew he didn't really want to be inside it, but he had agreed to this. The fact that Tony was removing his shirt was distracting and a little confusing. It could accommodate just about any clothing Tony might want to wear inside it.

Iron Man detected what was happening before the gold surface became visible. Though there were many obvious differences, the appearance brought back memories. Visual data and recordings from shortly before it became sentient.

The fact that Tony viewed this as something to be done with and not something to enjoy did dampen Iron Man's excitement, but not by much as it opened up for Tony.

It rankled him, perhaps because he knew Iron Man's future. This device hadn't been brought back by the Sons of Yinsen. It didn't know that Tony knew so much more, that he wasn't nearly as vulnerable as he'd been when the armor had become sentient.

No, he'd upgraded beyond this suit. It was so obvious, painfully to him. Inferior suit. Inferior technology.

He was downgrading just to make someone else feel better. Not just a "someone" else, just a suit of armor that had tried to kill him. It always amazed him that people thought of him as a cold man. Didn't this prove that he was more than willing to take into consideration the needs of others?

Self validation only went so far, didn't it? He didn't need to let anyone else know, and that was a failing, he knew. He was a victim of his own secrecy.

He turned around, and strode to it. His eyes were hard, no crinkles at the edges to define loose amusement, simply strict determination. He did what he had to.
