Tony Stark paced around his lab, a frown etched on his face as he analyzed the data from Astraea's tests. The results were perplexing, to say the least. He had never encountered anything like this before.

"Jarvis, run a diagnostic on the data again. Something doesn't add up," he said, running a hand through his hair.

"Of course, sir. Running diagnostics now," the AI responded.

Astraea sat nervously on the examination table, her eyes fixed on Tony as he worked. She had come to him for answers, but now she was starting to regret her decision. What if the tests revealed something she wasn't prepared to face?

"Tony, what's going on? Is there something wrong with me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Tony looked up from his screen, his eyes meeting hers. "Ash, I'm not sure yet. The data is showing some irregularities, but I need to run more tests to be certain."

Astraea nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't help but think of Loki and the bond they once shared. Could it be possible that their connection was still alive, even after all these years?

Tony continued to work, his brow furrowed in concentration. He had never encountered a case like this before. It seemed that Astraea's life force was intertwined with another's, but the data was inconclusive as to who it might be. Tony knew he needed to dig deeper to uncover the truth.

"Jarvis, I need you to run a non-standard analysis on the data. Look for any connections between Astraea's life force and any other known entities," he instructed.

"Yes, sir. Running non-standard analysis now," Jarvis replied.

Astraea watched as Tony worked, her anxiety growing with each passing moment. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that the past she had tried so hard to leave behind was about to catch up with her.

Tony's eyes widened as the results of the non-standard analysis began to appear on his screen. It couldn't be true, he thought. But the data didn't lie.

"Well Ash,," he said, turning to face her. "The tests have revealed something... unexpected."

She swallowed hard, bracing herself for the worst. "What is it, Tony?"

"It seems that your life force is still connected to Loki's. The bond you once shared is still intact, and it's affecting your health."

Astraea's heart sank. She had always known that their bond was powerful, but she had never imagined it would still be a part of her life after all this time.

"What does this mean, Tony?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"It means that you're not going to be able to ignore this connection any longer. You're going to have to confront it head-on if you want to regain your health and your powers."

Astraea nodded and followed Tony out of the lab, her mind racing with possibilities. She knew that breaking the bond would not be easy, but she was determined to find a way. She had come too far to let Loki hold her back now.
