Stark Never Cries

[The Avengers walk to their lockers together the next day]

Clint: So, Tony and Bruce, how is the whole "changing us back to adults thing" working?

Natasha: Yeah. You guys worked in that room for the whole darn night. I'm surprised we aren't adults by now.

Bruce: Well, Tony had to get a stabilizer so we could check it's coordinates and put them into it, which will help the energy level to decrease.

Tony: Yep. We found out that he had the wrong coordinates entered, causing the energy to rise drastically. That's what caused the blast. Speaking of which, Bruce, did you bypass the gigahertz on the computer for the stabilized object? Cause when we get back to S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm gonna need to use liquid mercury on the inside, and if the gigahertz aren't bypassed, it's gonna short-circuit the memory on the-

Steve: Shut up! You're making my head hurt.

Tony: (Smiling) Would you like an Aspirin?

Steve: (Mumbling) No. But I would like to kick you in the Aspirin.

Tony: Excuse me, what was that?

Steve: Oh, nothing. (Mumbling) You big loser.

Thor: How much more do you have to do before it is fixed?

Clint: Sounds like once they fix the coordinates, we're in the clear.

Bruce: (Nervously) Welllllllllllllllll.....

Steve: (Raises eyebrows) Welllllllllllllllll.....What?

Tony: Um....We need a certain element...

Bruce:...That I had finally finished when I was making my experiment the first time...

Tony:...Which was destroyed when the energy rose.

Bruce: Yeah, and it took a really long time to make it, sooo....

Tony:...It's gonna take a really long time to make another one...

Bruce:...Exactly.

Natasha: Aww...How cute. (Smiles) They finish each other's sentences now. Is there a ship name for Tony and Bruce?

Tony: We stick with Science Bros, because anything else sounds weird.

Thor: Hmm...Bony? Truce?...Okay, yes, please stick with Science Bros.

Steve: How long will making this element take?

Bruce: That's the problem, sir. We don't know.

(They all moan except Tony and Bruce)

Bruce: Alright, I'm just kidding. I was copying Coulson.

Tony: (Laughing) It could possibly take about 1,460 days.

Bruce: Or 1,461 days. Forgot the leap year.

Steve: (Frowning) Do you two find this funny? I don't! How long is 1,461 days?

Tony: No, I don't find this funny! Actually, Bruce is on my strangle list because of it, but I've learned to keep my cool unlike you. Anyways, it adds up to about four years. And that's if there are mistakes.

Natasha: (Starts to choke) WH-WHA-WH- (Cough cough) What!?

Clint: (Pats her back until she stops) You okay, Babe?

Natasha: (Breathes deeply) No, I'm not.

Steve: (Sighs) This is perfect. Very perfect.

Thor: Is there a way to fix it sooner?
