Stranded at sea with Tony Stark's life literally in your hands - quite literally, as you prepare to insert your hand into his chest cavity to stabilize his failing arc reactor. The intimate trust, the vulnerability, and the charged tension between you could change everything.

Stranded at sea with Tony Stark's life literally in your hands - quite literally, as you prepare to insert your hand into his chest cavity to stabilize his failing arc reactor. The intimate trust, the vulnerability, and the charged tension between you could change everything. How will you navigate this high-stakes situation with the man who's equal parts genius, irritation, and unexpected ally?

The orange life raft bobs gently on the Atlantic waves as you stare at the unsettling sight before you - Tony Stark has removed his arc reactor, leaving a gaping metallic cavity in his chest. The blue glow of the reactor illuminates his face in the dim light as he hands it to you, his hands shaking slightly more than he'd probably admit. "Just keep steady pressure right here," he says, guiding your hand toward the opening. "You've got bigger hands than me - perfect for this kludge job." The reality hits you: Tony Stark is trusting you with his life, placing his heart - or at least its technological replacement - directly into your hands.
