HP X MCU LEAH PETROVA

The Avengers-7

INT. BANNER'S LAB - NIGHT (LATER)

[Banner continuously scans with a gamma ray detection scanner on the scepter for radiation. Tony looks at his monitors, shifting and solving as many algorithms and equations.]

BANNER: The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take weeks to process.

TONY: If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops.

"What are they talking about?" asked Lily, Leah and the other avengers shrugged "we have no idea"

BANNER: All I packed was a toothbrush.

TONY: (SMILES) You know, you should come by STARK TOWER sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's candy land.

"Sweets" muttered Leah, Tony whipped his head toward the woman and frowned slightly "Tony, I am may have a Russian accent but I say a lot of words that my parents would say" she replied casually, she swapped Lila for Cooper who was with his favorite Avenger Bruce, Lila's favorite was their father for reasons.

BANNER: Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke...Harlem.

No-one said anything they were too infested in the movie

TONY: Well, I promise a stress free environment. No tension. No surprises.

[Suddenly, Tony pokes Banner with a MINIATURE ELECTRICAL PROD. Laura walks in on them, pissed at Tony.]

BANNER: OW!

[Tony looks at Banner closely.]

LAURA: Hey!

"she did not like me" "no she did not, you pissed her off easily"

TONY: Nothing?

LAURA: Are you nuts?

TONY: You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?

LAURA: Is everything a joke to you?

TONY: Funny things are.

LAURA: Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offense, Doctor.

"it is so fun to watch Laura arguing instead of physically fighting" Tony grimaced because he flirted with her and ended up with a broken jaw

BANNER: No, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things.

TONY: You're tiptoeing, big man. You need to strut.

LAURA: And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark.

TONY: You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.

LAURA: You think Fury's hiding something?

TONY: He's a spy. Swordy, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets. (points to Banner) It's bugging him too, isn't it?

BANNER: (bobbling the words) Uh...I just wanna finish my work here and...

LAURA: Doctor?

[A beat.]

BANNER: 'A warm light for all mankind, Loki's jab at Fury about the cube.

LAURA: I heard it.

BANNER: (pointing at Tony) Well, I think that was meant for you. Even if Barton didn't tell Loki it was still all over the news.

LAURA: Stark Tower? That big ugly (Tony gives her a look) ...building in New York?

"you look so offended" laughed Leah "I was she wounded me" 

BANNER: It's powered by Stark Reactors, self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for what, a year?

TONY: That's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now.

BANNER: (referring to Tony) So, why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project? I mean, what are they doing in the energy business in the first place?

TONY: I should probably look into that once my decryption programmer finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's secure files.

LAURA: (taken aback by that) I'm sorry, did you say...?

TONY: Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours we'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide. (holds out a bag of blueberries) Blueberry?

LAURA: Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around?

TONY: An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not possible.

LAURA: I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war, and if don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them.

TONY: Following is not really my style.

STEVE: (SMILING) And you're all about style, aren't you?

TONY: (a nerve hit) Of the people in this room, which one is; A. very pretty and should come over one night, and B. not of use?

[Laura frowned and punched him breaking his jaw, she walked out]

Clint facepalmed 

LAURA: Just find the cube.

BACK IN THE LAB

BANNER: she's not wrong about Loki. He does have the jump on us.

TONY: What he's got is an ACME dynamite kit. It's gonna blow up in his face, and I'm gonna be there when it does.

BANNER: And I'll read all about it.

TONY: Uh-huh. Or you'll be suiting up like the rest of us.

BANNER: Ah, see. I don't get a suit of armor. I'm exposed, like a nerve. It's a nightmare.

TONY: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart. (points at the MINI-ARC REACTOR in his chest) This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.

"so that thing keeps you alive?" asked Sirius and Tony nodded

BANNER: But you can control it.

TONY: Because I learned how.

BANNER: It's different.

[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Tony slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face.]

TONY: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.

BANNER: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Saved it for what?

TONY: (A BEAT) I guess we'll find out.

[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers.]

BANNER: You might not like that.

TONY: You just might.

"i did enjoy it actually so much fun" said Banner and Tony smiled
