John Henry blinked at the maintenance man, and then blinked again. “Wait a second –”

Miles Duncan pulled off his disguise with a grin. “Hello.”

John Henry slumped back into Dr. Villain’s far too fancy chair. “Hi, Miles.”

Natasha applied for the internship through school because it was a good opportunity, she knew she was capable of it, and it would be good experience for the future and for references. She’d been somewhat interested in policy and how the government functioned, but she expected to find the day-to-day details a little dull.

Natasha is excited to be teaming up with Double for the first time. She owes a lot to him, with the effort he went to to get her family safe. And he’s been a consistent ally to her uncle. Working with him feels like a natural and important next step now that she’s Steel. And maybe, she can wiggle some information out of him about who he is.

Sue her, she’s been curious. Uncle John clearly knows quite a bit about the man behind the goggles, and she’d like to know too. She’d spent a full round trip on a plane talking to him once and learned not a single personal detail. Hell, the only reason she knew his name was Miles is that Uncle John had referred to him as such once in front of her.

So yes, she has questions, but she’s going to be a professional about this team-up because she is Steel now, and she has a legacy to live up to.

John Henry had expected death would be painful, and he’s yet to be proven wrong. Every breath rattling in his chest hurts fiercely, and he could feel the life fading from his body with every ragged gasp of air. He’d had a thought, once or twice in tight situations, that he was going to die like his namesake, with a hammer in his hand. It seemed, instead, he’d go out with it shattered at his feet.

“I really am so sorry to do this on such short notice.” Lois said apologetically.

“Life happens, I get it.” John Henry reassured her. “I’m happy to look after Chris for you.”

“This has all of his stuff.”  Clark said, passing over a bag. “And you can call us if you need anything.”

“Of course. We’ll be just fine. It’s not the first time I’ve looked after a kid.” John Henry reassured them, amused.

Moments like this were some of John Henry’s favorite parts of being a superhero. Armor and hammer repair didn’t sound that exciting, true, but that was exactly why he loved it so much. The mundaneness of it was soothing. They were just working with their hands, same as always. And making sure that their equipment was in tip-top shape could make a huge difference in the field.

He especially loved doing maintenance with Natasha.
