Plan

Later that evening Natasha and Costia made their way to the labortory, Natasha feared that Costia and Stark would only argue and not work when they were alone together so she decided to go with her.

"Hey boys." Natasha said as she walked inside the labortory along with Costia. The two men just gave the women a quick 'hi' before continung their converstation.

"Well that's better than arguing, I guess." Costia said as she turned over to Natasha who just smiled and nodded at her.

Natasha was just about to go when Stark poked Banner with an electric device, "Ow!" Banner complained having to stop what he was currently doing. "Nothing?" Stark asked kind of expecting the Doctor to turn green.

"Hey!" Rogers walked in the room in this moment, he still had his colorful suit on, "Are you nuts?"

"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you?" Stark asked Banner completely ignoring Rogers. "What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bango drums, huge bag of weed?" Stark continued interrogating the Doctor.

"Is everything a joke to you?" Rogers asked annoyed. "Funny things are." Stark answered pointing at Steve with the electronical device he poked Banner with.

"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offense, Doc." Steve said still annoyed.

"It's all right, I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things." Banner replied.

"Jezz, you guys are really no fun." Costia chuckled at the seriousness of the two men.

"See even my least favorite member of this team thinks I'm right." Stark said as he walked in Rogers direction.

"Hey, I didn't say you were right!" Costia complained but Stark instantly started talking again. "Back to you, big man. You're tip-toeing, you need to strut."

"And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark." Steve spoke up again. "Do you think I'm not?" Stark answered. Costia and Natasha weren't sure if the two were about to fight or kiss, like right on spot.

"Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before?" Stark questioned, "What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all variables."

"You think Fury's hiding something?" Rogers asked. Stark glanced at the two spys for a second, "He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have sectrets. It's bugging him, too. Isn't it?" he looked over to the Doctor. "Uhh..." he stuttred, "I just want to finish my work here, and..."

"Oh c'mon," Costia interrupted, "yes Fury is a spy but you're being over dramatic. You don't need to know everything."

"Doctor?" Rogers interrupted. "Okay." Banner said, "What Loki said to Fury in that cell. I think it was meant for you." he said turning towards Stark, "Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."

"The Stark Tower?" Steve questioned, "That big, ugly-" Rogers quickly stopped when he saw the look on Starks face, "...building in New York."

"It's powered by an arc reactor," Banner said, "a self-sustaining energy source."

"That building will run itself for, what, a year?" Banner asked Stark. "It's just the prototype." Stark answered, "I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now. That what he's getting at."

"So why didn't Shield bring him in on the Tesseract program in the first place?" Banner wondered. "I'm probably gonna look into that when my programm finishes breaking into all of the Shield secure files."
