What is it with you and trying to shut down me and my projects? CorruptingHelping the Capsicle loosen up. Flying buildings. Cloning for catapult testing. If I wanted disapproving looks, I'd spend more time around Fury.

Cloning for catapult testing? Why did I not think of that before.

[like_a_gerbil]

[Steve's not sure who he's more confused by, Tony or his mundane who shoved him in this direction because she happens to like the 'Capsicle' nickname.] You're trying to do what?

[starknaked]

Barton. Cloning Barton. Compact, athletic. Also, amusing, though it has been pointed out I would bore before it reached fruition. Sometimes hate it when Banner is right.

[iamironwoman]

You are right about Barton. Still, it might be fun to try it a couple of times.

[starknaked]

[Tony believes no one should be confused. Flocking to Tony is inevitable.]

Help you to loosen up, adjust, understand pop culture references because I'm always hurt to have an amazingly apt line and you get that look on your face.

[starknaked]

With only a few rounds though, harder to justify as scientific research when Fury gives one of his looks.

[Steve denies that this counts as 'flocking.'

And did Tony mean that look that's on Steve's face right now? It's probably not going away any time soon.] I understood that part. It was the flying buildings and the catapult that I didn't understand.

{He pauses, wondering if he really should ask...] Why do you need to work on cloning for a catapult?

[iamironwoman]

Is there any way to hide it from Fury? It seems he's got eyes everywhere.

[starknaked]

[And that would be the look right there, yes.]

The flying building was a commentary on some recent issues with flying ships and the catapult... well that is just imagined fun involving Barton.

Because for scientific purposes, I would need to do it more than once, or a few times, and if I did something to harm Barton, there are people that might destroy me. Or at least try.

[starknaked]

That is the downside, isn't it? I suspect Pepper is installing cameras when I'm not looking.

[iamironwoman]

There are ways to change what's seen on those. Jarvis can do it.

[starknaked]

Yet Fury still seems to know, doesn't he?

[like_a_gerbil]

Of course it'd have to be scientific. [That look will now be combined with some facepalming.] They'd try to destroy you and then I'd have to try to rescue you...

[Yeah, this needs to stay imagined.]

Now I'm really wondering how you're planning to help me 'adapt.'

He has issues

[arach_nerd]

NO. CLONES.

[worldsbestmarksman]

[stare.] Catapult testing.

[starkgirlfriday]

[You asked for a dissaproving look?]

[therealgenius]

You're just really intent on getting another man laid, aren't you? Sounds like there's some real issues there.

[starknaked]

You say that as if scientific experimentation is a bad thing. Oh come on. Not as if I actually want to hurt Barton. He's just compact and doesn't fly. It seems to make sense.

Parties. Gambling. I'm told a fair might be better but, well, do they make enough scotch for me to endure that?

[starknaked]

I'm sure it isn't likely to happen. As someone pointed out, I bore easily.

[like_a_gerbil]

I think I'm the last person who should complain about scientific experimentation. [And what's sad is, it does make sense in a crazy kind of way.] Maybe you could just run simulations of it instead?

[He really should know better than to encourage Tony but he is slightly curious. Maybe more than slightly if no one was actually going to get hurt.]

A fair might not be a good idea. The last time I went to one, I enlisted. And the time before that I threw up on my best friend.

[starknaked]

It would help you to get to higher vantage points.

[starknaked]

Oh what is that look for? I haven't done any of them. Yet.

[starknaked]

I'm intent on bringing him up to modern times. For his own good.

[starknaked]

I always start there. The downside is, much as I like to rely on my models, I also know that it isn't always what you see in the numbers. You have to test everything. Something you've seen. [The Skull Tony had read about. What had happened to Bruce.]

Seriously? A fair? Okay, rules. If I do this. If! You puke on me and I toss you in the nearest ocean.

[therealgenius]

[Don't give him the smoulder. He's not Rapunzel.]

Prostitution's the oldest career in the entire world. I'm sure he knew that there was such a thing as whores during World War II. You really should talk to someone about this, it's rather...obsessive.
