[Fic] Sufficiently Advanced Magic -- Iron Fist (MCU)

I wanted to have something to post in April (because I am unsure whether I will finish editing/expanding the Narnia/Naruto crossover OR finish writing the Doctor Who/Magnus Archives crossover in time), so I poked through the February 2020 Three Sentence Ficathon prompts and wrote a tiny thing. :)

Note: Written for syrena_of_the_lake, in response to the prompt: Any, any, The Improbably Named Whatchamacallit of SCIENCE! (any thing, Bill Nye style). 120 words.

[ETA: the AO3 crosspost is now up!]

"That's it, I'm done, no more mystic ninja bullshit," Ward said in a slurred voice as he slumped back onto the concrete floor of the Rand subsidiary company's parking garage after yet another failed ninja ambush assassination attempt; "No more dragons, either -- the Iron Fist is now the bio-luminescent, contact-based kinetic energy transfer device of SCIENCE, probably powered by nanites or string theory."

"I think you have a concussion," Danny said, leaning down to offer his non-glowing hand, "and also, explosive kinetic energy transfer only applies to the combat uses; how do you explain the chi alignment and healing aspects?"

"I'll figure that out when I'm not concussed," Ward grumbled, but he grabbed hold and let Danny help him up.

And now back to my WIPs. *sigh*

daily update, Sunday April 26

1. Changed linens.

2. Added nose-piece to the last facemask.

3. Reorganized some stuff in my sewing basket to be more readily available and also let me get rid of a far too large pincushion my great-grandmother made. (I should probably acquire a more reasonably sized pincushion at some point. At the moment I have some pins in a little cloth circle that's built in to the basket lid, and a bunch of others stuck into an old index card, but that's not ideal. I also have a bunch of needles stuck through an index card or a scrap of really thick and awful fabric that serves a similar purpose.)

4. It rained steadily all day, ranging from medium-light to medium-heavy, so I only went for a quasi-walk. By which I mean I drove to Cascadilla Creek to take my daily photograph, and then walked the rest of the way into town to buy a BLT for lunch, walked back to my car, and drove home. So it was maybe... half a mile? Two thirds of a mile if I'm being generous. Still, it was better than nothing, and I didn't get completely soaked like I would have if I'd walked the whole distance to the Commons and back.

5. My period started, blargh. I'd predicted Monday, so this is well within my one-day margin of error. (I don't have the world's most regular schedule, but my body sends very clear "hey, we could make a baby now! have I mentioned that we're currently super fertile? because we are!" signals. *sigh*)

6. Wrote a tiny Iron Fist ficlet, and did some more editing on the Narnia/Naruto crossover. I am through the violent part of the fight/confrontation scene, and the next bits are more tense negotiation than action, so hopefully they'll go faster. (The main problem with this whole scene has been that my POV character is not doing a lot of the fighting and couldn't see what anyone else was doing. Now she's going spend the rest of the scene getting progressively woozier from blood loss until she passes out, but at least she can see the other characters again.)

And now to bed. :)
