The Tantrum pt. 2

**Continuation of The Tantrum, picking up right where the other one left off. I know this was a popular request, I'm sorry there was a delay between the parts, I just have so much going on and I have finals coming quick. In any case, I hope y'all enjoy!**

"I'm sorry, who?" Bruce furrowed his brow. He didn't remember any ex-girlfriends or high ranking HYDRA agents named Karen.

"Peter's AI. It was a gift from me, but it looks like the kid and his friend upgraded things."

Tony ran a hand over his face. Sure, he was a PhD scholar (multiple times over), a billionaire, a master scientist, but he was no match for a couple genius, nerd teens hyped up on vines, energy drinks, and the power of being a super-powered hero duo.

Bruce laughed. "Just go in and change the coding."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "I know this kid, and I know his friend. I can't."

"Can't. You, Tony Stark, the boy-king of science, can't change the coding. On an AI you created. That's modeled after the groundbreaking AI you invented and revolutionized the world with."

Tony jerked his head to the side, gesturing for Bruce to follow him. The two made their way back down to the lab, where Dum-E was still whirling around and trying to grab things. Tony pulled open the files he had on Karen's coding and started scrolling until he found the Tantrum Protocol coding. He highlighted some of it and hit the delete button, getting ready to rewrite the coding, only to have the screen began to flash wildly.

Old Man Meddling - Protocol I Coulda Dropped My Croissant Active.

The screen then flashed black and the whole lab shut down. The lights blinked out and Tony sat back with a sigh.

"Any other bright ideas, Brucie Bear?"

The doctor was genuinely impressed. To take Tony's coding, coding that was no undoubtedly protected against changes, and add your own protocols was no easy feat, and to arm Karen with the ability to mess with FRIDAY, the tower, and other appliances was beyond impressive.

"So. We don't have the ability to change Karen's coding, could we change FRIDAY back for now? Just so we could get her help?"

Tony shrugged. It was a long shot, but worth a try. He started up the extra generator he kept for emergencies and brought up the coding for FRIDAY and searched for new changes. Ah. There it was.

Instead of 'sir' listed under things for Karen to call Tony, there was a list of insults, starting with 'idiot' and ending with a vulgarity to only be used in extreme cases. Extreme cases were defined as Peter's badge being disabled, Pepper being fired, and Peter's photo being taken down in the living room.

The billionaire highlighted the list and hit delete, only to have the screen flash with FRIDAY Is An Independent Woman and then go black.

"Idiot, you cannot edit the changes made to my coding. You know what you did."

Bruce whipped around to his friend. "You did something to bring this on? You caused this?"

Tony nodded. "Apparently."

"And it was?"

The billionaire sighed and mumbled a bit under his hands.

"What was that?" Bruce teased, bumping his shoulder against Tony's.

"I took the kid's suit."

As soon as those 5 words were said clearly, the whole lab was flooded with blinding light, and both men shielded their eyes. An alarm began to blare, a monotonous beep that ground into the two men's ears.
