However Jay's next word caught his attention.

"... However if the situation require then you can hire me temporary"

Fury gives a thought about it and seeing there no harm choose to nod.

"But i do warn you my price is not cheap"

Fury just gives a dismissive nod, not worrying about it too much. He is the director of SHIELD, while he used a decent part of the UN fund to build his hideout there still several hundred million!

At this time Tony came back with a bottle and three glasses. Placing them on the table and pouring the content out, inviting.

"Why don't you take that helmet out and take a drink isn't it stuffy in there or is the ventilation system inside."

Facing his joking provocation, Jay just shakes his head.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Sorry Mr. Stark i must refrain, maybe next time. Now let talk business."

With his word the atmosphere become tense, but Jay keep talking without a care.

"Mr. Stark you should know your body condition especially the thing in your chest"

Tony narrowed his eyes.

"If you want the thing in my chest then sorry, even if you help me protect Pepper this thing is not for sale."

At his refusal, Jay just shook his head.

"You misunderstood Mr. Stark i am not trying to get it but want to give you something even better."

Stark raise his browns, before giving a laugh.

"This thing here is one of the best energy sources relative to its size, there nothing better than it, it perfect"

Toward his mocking tone, Jay just lightly stated.

"Palladium poisoning"

Tony face turn stiff and fell silent, Fury have a thoughtful look on his face. Jay smiled and continues.

"My proposition is simple Mr. Stark, a new element compatible with the arc reactor."

"What is this element? And how can i trust you?"

Jay not speaking but turn to look at Fury. Feeling his gaze Fury frown but choose to compromise, he stand up and leave.

"Well it late now, i will excuse myself"

After he leave Tony call out to his smart butler.

"Jarvis do scan and block all surveillance device of today conversation"

"Understand, sir"

"Now..."

Tony turns his attention back at this helmet superhero.

"... What do you want?"

"5 billion"

Tony frowned.

"That isn't very cheap"

"Mr. Stark, we are talking about an element that can save your life, run the arc reactor and even a possible source of clean renewable energy."

Tony still hesitates, not knowing whether to trust him or not. Seeing this Jay did not force it but throw him a card with numbers on it.

“The key to the new element is on one of your father work, the 1974 Stark expo, by removing the plant and rearrange the building you can get the new element that your father discovered."

Stark a little bewildered by the sudden change of situation, why he just suddenly gave the answer to his problem.

" I believe you should be able to make the new element and when that happen you can transfer the money, if that doesn't work then you don't have to do anything and you won't lose anything either."

Tony keep silent thought about it and nod.

Seeing this Jay sighed a breath of relief internally, he was worried about what to do as he has no experience in negotiation. Jay took out a return bead from his pocket and crushing and leaves behind a last sentence.

"Also take care of Miss Potts, not every woman can stand a person like you."

The light flashed, leaving a grumpy Stark, after he gone Tony call out.

"Jarvis, get me the 1974 Expo model"
