whumptober #25 left to die

“For fucks sake, I told you no!”

“Peter, who is it?” A voice called from inside the dorm room. It was a woman’s voice. Peter seemed to wince when he heard it.

“Just this crazy guy who is leaving-“ he tried to shut the door but Tony’s foot just so happened to block the door. Peter looked down, raised an unimpressed eyebrow and met Tony’s eye.

“Dude I was not joking when I said I wasn’t interested in your stupid job offer.”

“Who said I’m here about a job offer?” Tony challenged, casually looking at the kid over his glasses. His hair was ruffled and unkept, his clothes were too big and he looked like he was surviving off of energy drinks and cigarettes. Smelt like it too.

“Peter, is your crazy person gonna leave because the movie isn’t gonna watch itself and I’m gonna spoil it for myself and then you if you’re not back here in a few seconds.”

Peter rubs the space between his eyebrows. “MJ, just- give me a second.” He looks back towards Tony. “If you’re not here about the job thing then why are you here? You know this place is full of nerd people who would kill to meet you, right? Go bother one of them.”

“Well as much as I love being adored, something about the love and wonder in your eyes really draws me in,” Tony smirked. Peter stood there with the most unimpressed look on his face. Tony couldn’t help but smirk more.

“Make your point and make it fast. I swear the sister is the killer but if I find out it’s the detective I’m gonna lose my shit.”

Tony doesn’t know what it is, but he feels an inherent need to have this kid in his company. Maybe it was something about way he looked at Tony like he had personally cancelled his favourite show. Maybe it was the way he had shouted at Tony about how he can improve the arc reactor when they first met - as if that would put him off.

“£800 a day,” Tony offers.

Peter stares at him, gives him a once over as if to check if he’s being serious, and then shakes his head a little. “I do not want to work for a pretentious, cocky son of a-“

“It was the detective.”

“BITCH,” Peter jumps.

The girl smirks as she joins him in the doorway. Her eyes move.

“Holy shit, you’re Tony Stark,” she says in a monotone voice. Tony is about to ask if he’s lost his touch or something because no one is impressed by his presence when-

“If I agree to work with you will you leave me the hell alone?” Peter sighs. MJ flicks a piece of popcorn into her mouth.

Tony doesn’t comment on the fact he can’t leave Peter alone if they work together. Instead he just says “done” and leaves.

Project hail Marry x Stark!reader

I'm still working out the kinks but here is the gist of it.

Instead of Strat being in charge of the Hail Mary\Astrophage project it's the justice league and instead of them putting some random civilian they decide to put Stark!reader as basically their Rylan Grace.

Reader like Rylan doesn't want to go to space and they basically do the same thing as what happens in the movie and tackle them to the ground

But what I want to focus on is how Eridians find out that the arc reactor in reader's chest is what's keeping them alive and without it/remove it/light goes out reader will die.

The two I want to focus on is Adrien and Rocky Especially Rocky.

Like this Eridian was left alone for.....I forget how long and when he has someone to talk to they have a glowing thing in their chest that helps their heartbeat and keeps them alive.

Sure, Rocky is curious about it but he also doesn't want to push because of the bodily reaction he gets from reader is enough for him to drop it.

Though reader does share how they got it.

Rocky is the only person\friend to know the full truth of the arc reactor besides Jason.

And I can see it not.....going well for the batfam when he learns what happened and how none of them looked for reader and I can see it just adding to his hatred of earth.

Though Rocky,Adriean and Jason are chill with eachother.

Random Rant

I can see reader being like this

And there is a reason why

Imagine your ignored FOR YEARS until the second robin GENUANLLY wants to have a connection with you but the next thing you know he's gone.....the one bright light in your life is gone and your being tortured in an abandoned wing of arkham by various batmans and you don't know how long you've been in there and when you get back your kidnaped to build a weapon and have to rely on first a car battery and than an arc reactor for the rest of your life and you manage to escape but at the cost of a great man's life.

And your Birdy......your Robin, your bright light was replaced by someone who grew up rich and has no clue about what life on the other side is like.

You HATE.....no there is no word in existence that helps you describe how much you dislike this person...this.....dissapoinment.....this MISTAKE.

For at least 6 years (from 2008 to 2014) Tony suffered from arrhythmia and had a pacemaker and ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) in his chest along with arc reactor. How do we know this:

IM1 0:25:55 - There's no need to "run a heart" if there's only shrapnel in the chest. Yinsen's words only make sense if there is something running the heart that requires electricity from the reactor - a pacemaker and ICD.

IM1 0:51:10 - In the scene where Pepper changes his reactor and takes out the old magnet, we hear Tony's heart went into tachycardia and he was about to get a cardiac arrest (caused by arrhythmias). After connecting the new reactor, Tony received an electric shock and his heart rate returned to normal. What happened: It wasn't the shrapnel that caused this reaction - even without magnet, the shrapnel would have been too slow to cause immediate danger. A pacemaker-ICD is a power source, chip, and electrodes that go to a heart. In this case, the power source is the reactor itself, the chip is part of the reactor, and the electrodes run from the base of the socket to Tony's heart. When Tony connected the reactor cable to the base plate, he connected it to the electrodes so that his pacemaker could work and save him from his irregular heartbeats. Apparently connecting the reactor to the base plate was necessary to power his pacemaker and nothing else, since the old magnet had been pulled out by Pepper and the new reactor had its own magnet. Without reactor-pacemaker-ICD, he had no protection against arrhythmia. So when Pepper touched the socket walls, it gave Tony a shock and disrupted his hearth rhythm (similar happened to him in Endgame), then she pulled out the magnet and that stressed him enough to give him tachycardia, and as soon as the reactor was reconnected, the pacemaker-ICD worked again and corrected Tony's heart rhythm by sending him a therapeutic electric shock.

IM1 1:37:00 - Stane pulled out the reactor with pacemaker out of Tony's chest. Without the pacemaker, due to temporary paralysis and stress Tony's heart went to bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), which gives us the diagnosis - Sick Sinus Syndrome (tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome). Tony managed to get to his lab and connect the old reactor. Shrapnel and electromagnet had nothing to do with it, because, as I already mentioned, shrapnel is too slow to cause damage in such a short time, and we also have to remember that the old magnet was outside the reactor and was pulled out by Pepper. So there was no magnet in this reactor. From that moment until the end of the battle with Stane, the shrapnel in Tony's chest was free. Tony needed this reactor first to correct the arrhythmia, and then to power the armor, and not to stop the shrapnel. He plugged it in, received a treatment shock that eliminated the bradycardia, and may have lost consciousness, which is why he was lying on the floor when Rhodes found him.

IM3 Deleted scene "Tony, Harley and EJ" - Tony saves EJ using his reactor's ICD function. He had to take it out of his chest and give the boy shocks, receiving them himself, which disrupted his heart rhythm. This sent Tony into ventricular fibrillation, and Harley had to reconnect the reactor so the ICD could deliver the treatment shock you see in the second gif.

Avengers: Endgame (1:20:30) - Tony asked Scott to induce a mild cardiac dysrhythmia (another name for arrhythmia) in his 2012 copy by pulling out a pin inside the reactor. This appeared to disrupt the normal functioning of his pacemaker and caused him to have a series of abnormal shocks that led to an arrhythmia and him falling to the ground in convulsions. Note that Tony knew what to do and that it (probably) wouldn't kill him, meaning his pacemaker-ICD would eventually solve the problem on its own, even without Thor's help.

And finally:

If anyone could survive shrapnel literally embedding in their heart and being hooked up to car battery to live, it would be tony stark.

If anyone could build a impossible miniaturised arc reactor in a cave with a box scraps which most engineers could not even with the highest tech and facilities, it would be tony stark.
