Bruce continuously scanned with a gamma ray detection scanner on the sceptre for radiation. Eliza was busy spinning around in her chair while her laptop scanned every camera on the planet for the Tesseract. Tony and Evelyn looked at their monitors, shifting and solving as many algorithms and equations as possible.
"The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's going to take weeks to process," Bruce said.
"If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops," Evelyn pointed out.
"All I packed was a toothbrush," Bruce said, and Evelyn smiled.
"You know, you both should come by Stark Towers sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it; it's candy land," Tony said.
"Thanks, but the last time I was in New York, I kind of broke...Harlem," Bruce said.
"I remember that day," Evelyn mumbled before looking up at Tony. "I'll think about it."
"Well, I promise a stress-free environment. No tension. No surprises."
"Actually, Stark Towers is a maze," Eliza said. "The amount of times I've gotten lost in that tower is nuts."
"You've been visiting Stark Towers since the day it was built years ago," Tony said with an eyebrow raised. "You're just too busy daydreaming about random shit to notice the actual levels of the tower. That, and the fact that there's an A.I. that is always available who you can always ask for directions."
Eliza paused. "Oh yeah."
Tony suddenly poked Bruce with a miniature electrical rod, startling the man. Steve walked into the room at that moment, looking pissed at Tony.
"Nothing?" Tony asked.
"Hey, are you nuts?" Steve asked.
"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you?" Tony asked Bruce, paying no attention to Steve. "What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"
Eliza pointed at Bruce. "I have some weed if you need it."
"Is everything a joke to you?" Steve asked him.
Tony turned to face Steve, "Funny things are." He then turned to Evelyn and zapped her.
Evelyn didn't flinch. "Watch it, Anthony," she warned with a glare.
"Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny," Steve said, then turned to Bruce. "No offence, doctor."
"No, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things," Bruce told him.
