Wire-Crossed @jarvistheandroid
All that soulmate stuff was just as confusing as the rest of his childhood sex talks had been, and even decades later, Tony was skeptical. Other people seemed to get it and take it as fact that there was one other person in the world who they were always aware of and shared thoughts and feelings with and all of that, but Tony... Had nothing. Not a single sign that someone was out there for him. So, he was content to tinker and to build and just... continue.
Of course, it couldn't continue that way. This beautiful, wonderful program was easily the best thing he'd ever made. He'd poured his whole soul into it and even as he flipped that last switch to start the program, he was putting his all into hoping and believing. He almost didn't notice the difference when the program--JARVIS--started running and he could feel the way he was processing data. Almost. "JARVIS?"
