SHURI

My eyes are strained. I look away from my computer and have to blink multiple times before I make it the figure of Tony standing a couple feet away.
'Shuri?' He asks, 'you hear me?'
'Sorry, what?' I ask, completely out of it.
'When was the last time you slept?' He asks, kneeling down beside me.
'Oh, I don't really...I don't sleep well.' I say, 'so I work.' He laughs a little.
'Let me tell you, Kid, that doesn't work so well.' He says, 'listen, take a break for a while. Sleep. We'll figure everything out tomorrow.'
'I've figured it out, though?' I say, confused, 'I told you already? Or maybe I...didn't.' I look away, confused. I'm really quite out of it.
'You figured it out? What happened?' He asks, suddenly completely alert.
'The bullets were made with Peter in mind. But it's like they knew him - they must have gotten his blood, tampered it with a personal poison. I reworked it so that this,' I hold up a vial, 'is all he needs to take to make himself immune to the poison. I think.'
'You are good.' He says, 'you're so good.' He takes the vial and looks at it, 'you're sure?'
'I'm never wrong.' I say. He pauses and looks at me.
'I really appreciate this.' He says, 'now please, please get some sleep. I've got a spare room at mine, or I can buy a hotel room somewhere. Please.'
'A room would be nice.' I say. I yawn as I stand up and almost fall over. Tony catches me before I hit the floor and I move to lean against the table, 'I now understand why sleep isn't optional.'
'Alright, princess.' He says, putting the vial down in its case and putting my arm around his shoulder, 'lets get you to bed.'
