You might be onto something with the tesseract and the arc reactor being related somehow. Dear ol' Dad didn't come up with the arc reactor until after he'd found the tesseract, so it'd be difficult to not see a potential connection between the two. The tesseract is pure, clean energy, so is the arc reactor, and if Zola managed to harness its energy, I don't doubt that Dad would have managed.

It'd explain Loki's performance issues up top. Why nothing happened - I don't believe for a minute it was just because he was touching metal and not flesh. There's something more to it.

I need to pull all the files I can find on it. The tesseract and the arc reactor. There's probably something they're not giving me, but that can be bypassed easily enough. Phase 2 was building weapons powered by it, after all, and they went to extreme lengths to keep that hidden, even from me. Who knows what else they're hiding?

Anyway - I'm rubbing off on you. About time.

So you think it's the same energy?

[fbitchesgtmoney]

Something along those lines. Same energy, but I don't think the arc reactor can be used as a portal.

[doyoufondue]

Luckily. That was just the cube itself.

[shieldsupernanny]

You don't have that kind of clearance, Mr. Stark.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

That rarely stops me.

[shieldsupernanny]

True, but you have taught R&D a few tricks I'm sure security will be happily implementing in the wake of your last break-in.

[clearance]

It's an interesting theory. You do good work together.

[ And despite the absence of emotion on Natasha's face — she actually does mean interesting. ]

[fbitchesgtmoney]

(He's staring at one of the miniatures from his suits) Dad found the structure of an element, but couldn't create it at the time. Well you know all about that. The new ticker. It's powerful.

[clearance]

Yes. [ A beat as Natasha raises her brow the slightest fraction, the important question here being; ]

What do you plan to do?

[viraltentacles]

So you're doing your mun's homework?

[fbitchesgtmoney]

No. Just bouncing around a few ideas.

[viraltentacles]

Is that so?

[like_a_gerbil]

[There's a hint of very carefully controlled rage. He's still angry over the Hydra weapons he'd found and now Tony's considering playing with the source of all that destruction.]

What're you going to do with that information when you get it.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

I haven't decided on that yet. I just want to know why Loki couldn't do his creepy mind control thing on me. (shrug. it really isn't about doing anything with it. But something happened that he couldn't explain, and he wanted to know why)

[like_a_gerbil]

He did do his creepy mind control thing on you, remember? You called me a lab rat. And I - [He flushes when he remembers what he said. He'd been out of line even before Tony had saved them all.] I said things that I regret. You're not immune to his magic.

The tesseract isn't something you should be tinkering with. It's too dangerous for any one person to play with.

[merchantofdeath]

Isn't tesseract just a fancy way of saying cube?

[fbitchesgtmoney]

Yeah, but it sounds more professional than cosmic cube.

[ierasecircles]

Wow, you're really smart!

[fbitchesgtmoney]

(oh god it's a small child. where are her parents) Thank you. If you understood that, you must be too.

we actually have similar head canon on this

[billionaire_dad]

The idea for the arc reactor was very much derived from my study of the tesseract.

omg hallelujah.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

(hi dad. forgive him for puffing up a bit and looking pleased with himself) Knew it.

[brosif]

Have your people not yet seen that no good comes from that Jotun relic? It is a monkey’s paw. Any good it may grant is but a shadow of the damage it welcomes.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

If I'm right, that thing has inadvertently saved my life.

[otherguy]

Meaning were they hiding it even from you, or especially from you.

And if the tesseract is somehow related to your reactor, I'd recommend you check yourself for gamma radiation. Even in minute amounts, prolonged exposure, so close to your vital organs, could cause a lot of damage.

[fbitchesgtmoney]

Exactly. It wasn't just that it was weapons. The government's already tried to coax me back into the weapons industry multiple times - now that they had this, what was stopping them?

I already almost died from palladium poisoning, I wouldn't be surprised if this was killing me too. You want to do the testing?
