17 h, may 4, 2009 y - Stark Replaces Old Arc Reactor

Description:

As Potts watches Jim Cramer bash Stark's decision to pull Stark Industries out of the weapon's industries, she's called down to Stark's workshop to help him pull out the arc reactor he built in Afghanistan and replace it with a new one.

During the operation, she encounters complications when she pulls out the magnet keeping the shrapnel from entering his heart, causing him to go into cardiac arrest, though she quickly corrects the error by placing the replacement arc reactor in its place.

Potts tells him never to ask her to do that again, but Stark tells her matter-of-factly that he has no one else to do it for her.

Stark wants to destroy the old arc reactor, but Potts instead boxes it up as a gift to give him later.
