Trapped In The MCU (Male Reader)

Chapter 4: Phase Two

Night came and Bruce 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.

Bruce: 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.

Bruce: All I packed was a toothbrush.

Tony: You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's candy land.

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

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

Suddenly, Tony pokes Banner with a Miniature electrical prod. Steve and Y/N walk in on them.

Bruce: OW!

Steve: Hey!

Tony: Nothing?

Steve: Are you nuts?

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

Steve: Is everything a joke to you?

Tony: Funny things are.

Y/N: Which is everything to him.

Tony: Exactly.

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

Bruce: 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.

Steve: 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.

Y/N: Let me get this straight, you think Fury is hiding something from us?

Tony: He's a spy. Stone Man, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets. It's bugging him too, isn't it?

Bruce: Uh...I just wanna finish my work here and...

Steve: Doctor?

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

Steve: I heard it.

Bruce: Well, I think that was meant for you. Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news.

Steve: Stark Tower? That big ugly-

Y/N: Steve.

Y/N points to Tony who looks at Steve.

Steve: ...building in New York?

Bruce: 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.

Bruce: 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.

Steve: I'm sorry, did you say...?
