Tony's Little Genuis (Tony Stark X Reader) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 4

When we got back to the compound the two of us remained silent. We enjoyed the silent company the other could provide.

Entering the lab I saw Bruce working in his corner. He looked up for a minute then went back to his work before doing a double take. Bruce went to ask the obvious question of what I was doing here but out of the corner of my eye I could see Tony put a finger to his lips. Tony knew I was in my thoughts and it was better to not interrupt me.

Walking to the multiple white board I grabbed the dry erase marker. I see Tony's formula on the left and I wrote out the beginning as well as the measurements needed.

"Are you sure your self measurements are correct?" I ask Tony before starting.

"I'm positive Darling, I've used the same measurements for the last 6 years." I nodded my head filling in the blanks of the formula with his measurements.

"FRIDAY?"

"Yes YN?"

"Can you play some music?"

"Would you like your playlist?" It was then that I realized Bruce was there. Turning to him I ask.

"Would you be okay with me playing music? If not I can make that one get me headphones." Bruce gave me a smile.

"Don't worry about it. I'm used to Tony playing music, so play whatever you'd like."

"FRIDAY please play my playlist." I had a mashup playlist consisted of some of Tony's rock music, country, pop, rap and so on.

Taking a deep breath I start with the first part of the formula. I knew Tony took a seat and Bruce got back to work on whatever he was doing before.

"Don't blame me love made me crazy." I hummed along with the Taylor Swift song as I worked out the missing piece.

The whole point was to figure out how many nano molecules Tony would need for the size of his suit.

"Square root both sides." I mumble to myself as I continue on. I hear the doors of the lab open but I don't turn around.

"Wow, who knew you liked Taylor Swift Stark." It was Natasha.

"Shh, sit. Silence." Tony shushed her knowing that it was better if people didn't talk. That's why I had music. It helped me tune others out. I write out the final piece circling it.

9.28 x 10^11 (928 Billion)

I step back I look at Tony's answers versus mine.

"How in the hell did you get 4.67 x 10^5 Tony?" I asked more to myself then to him. I move away from the boards to Tony's computer. I started pulling up the prototype he had built and I move it to the center of the room.

I isolate the individual pieces and find the errors that were causing the nanotech not to release properly. It didn't take long to fix all of Tony's bugs. I was so into fixing the suit that I started altering it past the errors.

"FRIDAY isolate the accelerator." The rest of the hologram prototype disappears. I shit the accelerator a bit till I see what needs to be changed out.

"Beautiful?" Tony asked cautiously before placing his hand on my shoulder. I hummed not looking at him yet. I give him a motion to wait a moment as I speak again.

"FRIDAY add that back in and run the statistics on the prototype."

"97% success with changes provided. 92% success with original prototype and proper molecules." I nodded my head before turning to Tony.

"I think I may have done more than fix your dilemma." I say sheepishly looking down at my hands. I feel his hand gently grab my chin lifting my head up to look him in the eyes.

"It's perfect. Now, you've been at it for 4 hours and you have and audience." My eyes widened and I turned to see all of the Avengers there in some compacity. Bruce walked over and pulled his glasses off as he looked at the prototype.

"I thought you got your PHD in Biochemistry, with a background of molecular engineering, and molecular biology?" Bruce asked in shock.

"I did. Molecular engineering and molecular biology are the basics to nano tech." I tell him as I look at the hologram prototype in front of us.

"But how do you know how to build Tony's suit?" Bruce asked in shock. "I mean when it comes to the power source and the accelerators that you altered."

"Biochemistry was my main background. Didn't mean I hadn't dabbled around with Tony when he came out with new suit ideas." I remember on a few occasions Tony coming into the bar on a slow night. We had discussed his Mark 45 suit. I had no real customers so I grabbed a couple sheets of printer paper out of the back and I worked out the math for fun while Tony got hammered. I had called Happy to pick him up and before Tony left I slipped him the paperwork so he would build it when he was sobered up.

Tony couldn't stop talking about the fact that I had done that on the fly and for fun. The suit had been built by the following week.

It was my idea to nano tech for his suit. Once the initial suit was built it would easily be fixable. That means no damage is to much damage.

I felt all eyes on me as Tony told them all of this information. I rocked back and forth slightly on my feet before turning to Tony.

"I should get home. I need to get dinner and everything." I tell him softly. I knew well enough that a lot of the people in the room had super hearing of some compacity and my nerves were already high enough. I didn't want to add in their commentary too it.

I watched as Tony checked his watch.

"Why don't you stay here tonight? I can make you dinner and you can crash here. I mean it's already 9." He says with a shrug. I move my eyes to the others in the room and he seems to get the hint without any verbal confirmation. Tony pulled me into a hug and whispered "Okay, well how about I order in pizza and we can watch whatever movie you want in my room?" I nodded my head slowly.

I had never stayed here before, but this wasn't the first time I had been to the compound. Normally I would come over when the other members were on a mission. With that Tony bid the team goodnight before walking me out of the lab and to the elevator.

When the doors were closed and it was just the two of us I turned to him and thanked him for getting me out of there. I normally had no problem with being around small groups but I didn't like being the center of attention in situations like that.

With that we made it up to his room and had FRIDAY order pizza before putting on an action movie.
