"Thought you'd enjoy not giving me attention," Tony retorted immediately without looking up. He waved vaguely at a stack of boxes against the far wall.
"Fine, you want to be helpful, go get me three sets of tubing pivots and, ah, what the hell, a capacitive touch module. Just in case. Any questions, ask JARVIS."
Aha, first issue. A cluster of mechanisms against the wall of the artificial tricep was bent out of place, knocked there by some kind of damage. Tony winced, poking with the screwdriver the obvious signs that the links had been grinding uncomfortably against other parts. Well, that was horrible screeching noise explained. He pulled the screwdriver back to tap it thoughtfully against his chin, calculating the angle and force necessary to push the pieces back into their proper places, or at least close enough to not grind. Tony really hated working on a budget.
Decision made, he grabbed a longer screwdriver, stabbed it into the best place for the proper leverage, and yanked hard.
