Make Me Real (TonyxReader) Part 3

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He needed to stop thinking like that. 

"So JARVIS," Tony called out to the AI unit. "How did she hold up last night?"

"Quite well, sir," JARVIS responded. "Her system appears to be running fine as well. Are you going to activate her? Or will you shut her down permanently?" 

Tony looked up at the ceiling bewildered. Shut her down? Now why would he do that? More importantly, why was JARVIS suggesting such a thing? Tony shook all of his thoughts from his head and just focused on finding the remote he had made for her. He found it by the couch on the armrest and pushed the power button. She came to life with a breath almost, her chest rising and her eyes glowing open. She scanned her surroundings for several moments before sitting upright. When her (e/c) eyes met Tony's, she smiled. 

"My censors indicate that you slept well," She grinned. 

"I did," Tony nodded. "Did you?"

"Well technically I do not need to sleep. Even if I did, I cannot dream either," She shrugged.

"Hmmm, perhaps I should fix that," Tony muttered to himself. 

"I need to be fixed?" (Name) looked at him puzzled, a slight hint of hurt and disgust to her voice. 

Tony shook his head and quickly sat down next to her. "No, no I didn't mean it like that. I just thought that perhaps....you would like to know what it's like to dream. A silly thought, yes but dreams can be very intoxicating sometimes. It's something that you have almost all the time so you never notice it when it's not there. But for some people, dreams are the only way they can keep on living in this reality." He ran a hand through his hair. "Okay...I'm babbling now."

She looked down at the ground in thought for a while. What he was saying did intrigue her. She understood what dreams were but never experienced one and this felt like one of those things you needed to fully experience to understand properly. However she never thought about things like this. Truth be told, she never really thought at all. She was an android who was made to follow whatever her master commanded. But was that truly her purpose? Tony so far felt more like a friend which was odd to her. But she saw something in his eyes that made her question her existence. There were moments were Tony looked like he regretted something and moments were he seemed to want to get away from her. This confused her more than ever since she didn't recall doing anything that made him disappointed in her. She felt like there was something she wasn't knowing. Something that perhaps he wasn't telling her. 

"Hello, earth to (Name)?" Tony waved his hand in front of her face to snap her out of it. "You alright?"

She blinked several times and then nodded. "Y-Yes I'm fine."

"Sir it appears that she is starting to have a speaking deficiency," JARVIS said suddenly. 

"No I am not," (Name) snapped. JARVIS was starting to get on her nerves (if she had some). The AI unit quieted down and Tony could just feel the awkward tension growing in the room. 

He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. "I don't have anything to do today so it looks like we'll both be having a lazy Sunday."

"But it's Tuesday."

"....."

He blinked and then shrugged, leaning back on the couch with his hands behind his head. (Name) leaned back as well, hands on her lap. She watched as Tony flipped through channels and saw how much destruction and love was in this world. It fascinated her. To see what humans can create and to see them destroy was truly fascinating. In a short amount of time, she had managed to learn almost everything about human's. She felt like she understood them more. She looked over Tony and smiled. When he laughed, she laughed and when he looked annoyed, she would roll her eyes. All she could do was mimic his expressions since she couldn't display them herself. Being an android, she didn't have any emotions. All she could do was mimic them and pretend to display them. Though she did find herself "enjoying" the time she was spending with Tony. 

"Sir," JARVIS began, catching both of their attention. "It appears that you have a visitor."

"Well send them up then," Tony said, not thinking twice about it. 

(Name) wondered who it could be at the door and then within a couple of minutes, her questions were answered when the elevator door slid open to reveal a medium height strawberry blonde whose hair was up in a ponytail. She was wearing a simple black cardigan with a matching black pencil skirt and black high heels. When she first entered the room, she froze upon seeing Tony and (Name). Then she dropped the files that she was holding and ran over to them.

"Oh my gosh!" She gasped. "(Name)! You're alive? How is this possible?" The woman ran up to her and Tony looked very distressed in the background. She took hold of (Name)'s shoulders and as soon as she did, she let go. Her body shook with each step she took back. She had a horrified look on her face and then looked at Tony like he had gone insane. "Tony....what is this? That's....that's not (Name)."
