It’s Science Bros Week!!

This really doesn’t fit any of the prompt ideas, but I liked how it turned out so I’m throwing it in for fun.

Science Bros Week, Day #3: “Bitter”

Peter hears glass breaking and looks up from his workstation to see Mr. Stark swear, "Dammit, DUM-E!"

The bot beeps, and Mr. Stark sighs. "Okay, well, I guess I didn't build you to be a barista."

"Is everything okay, Mr. Stark?" Peter asks.

"Oh, fine. DUM-E decided to do an experiment to test the effects of gravity on the coffee pot."

"Oh."

"Actually, Peter...I know I promised you wouldn't have to do typical boring internship stuff, but...will you run upstairs and make some more coffee? I'm going to clean up this whole...situation." Mr. Stark gestures vaguely at the puddle of coffee and broken glass on the floor. DUM-E is holding a single paper towel in his claw. “But I really need coffee. I swear you’ll never have to make photocopies.”

"Yeah, of course!" Peter still can't believe how awesome his life is sometimes. He gets to hang out at the Avengers compound with Tony Stark and his robots, and do interesting experiments and training simulations. And now he gets to make coffee for Mr. Stark! It’s just like being on The Office, except he’s pretty sure Mr. Stark won’t think it’s funny if Peter puts his coffee in Jello.

But when he gets upstairs to the kitchen, he realizes that he has no idea how to use this big, shiny coffee machine. The lab has a normal coffee machine, kinda like the one May has in her kitchen, but probably more expensive. The kitchen has something that looks more like a car engine. Peter opens up cabinets just to make sure there isn't a regular coffee maker hiding somewhere. He finds the coffee grounds, which he knows he'll need. He finds a teapot and twelve different kinds of tea. He finds a lot of mugs, most of which have the Stark Industries logo on them. But it looks like he's stuck with the high tech coffeemaker.

Okay, no big deal. Peter has faced way bigger challenges than this. He inspects the coffee machine closely and finds the information he's looking for: the model is called the Breville BES870XL Barista Express. He fishes his phone out of his pocket and searches YouTube for "Breville BES870XL Barista Express how to".

Normally, he'd try to watch the video and follow along with it, but this thing looks super expensive and Peter really doesn't want to mess it up, so he casually flips upside down and hangs from the ceiling to watch the whole video once through before he starts trying to make coffee. Sometimes being upside down helps him focus, maybe because all the blood is going to his brain? Or maybe just because it's fun.

He's a few minutes into the video when he senses someone enter the kitchen. He pauses the video and looks down to see Dr. Banner get a glass from the cabinet and fill it with tap water. He leans against the counter and takes a long drink of water. Peter drops down from the ceiling--halfway to the ground it occurs to him that maybe he shouldn't surprise Dr. Banner? But Peter's sure it will be fine. He's never seen Dr. Banner Hulk out, except in videos.

I’m a little late to the party, but here is something for @sciencebrosweek

Day 1, 2019 - Dust

[brucebannerblr]

Science Bros Week 2019. Day 1: Dust.

There is dust on the suitcase.

Bruce finds out when he brings it out from under the bed, and it all floats up, making him cough. It's what makes him realize how long it's been since he last took it out.

The suitcase is black, sturdy plastic, small but spacious and it can be worn like a backpack.

Tony gave him the suitcase because he insisted if Bruce ever needed to run again, he should have something good.

Tony also insisted he wouldn't ever have to run again, too, and suddenly, with his hands on a dusty suitcase, Bruce realizes he was right.

Tony never even gave him a chance. Ross had three lawsuits by the time Bruce told Tony who was the general after him, and he was in jail in less than six month. Absolute record for the judicial system, probably, but the force of Tony Stark and Betty Ross, who Tony dragged into helping, was to be reckoned with.

And now here he was, dusting the suitcase with his sleeve and smiling. He took the purple shirt from his drawer, the one he wore when he and Tony met, and put it there. It felt pretty amazing, packing with the feeling of anticipation rather than dread.

As he unfolded the small handle of the full suitcase and started wheeling it down to the garage, he couldn't stop a giddy smile.

Tony already waited in a car, a living promise that the suitcase will only ever be needed again if they're going to a conference together.

For holidays, Tony bought Bruce a larder one, promising to never give it time to gather dust.

Science Bros Week: day 3 - “Bitter”

[lunamikk69]

@sciencebrosweek -- SCIENCE BROS WEEK – Day 7: Anything

They were both lying on the couch, Tony seeing things on his phone with enough interest, Bruce simply with his head resting on Tony’s chest, watching the arc reactor with great intensity, reaching to slightly pass his fingers over the edge. -If you could choose to change something in your life, anything, what would you change? -Of my life now?- He asked trying to clarify something else, Bruce just nodded. -There's nothing you wouldn’t like to change right now?- He raised his head a little, looking at Tony. -I have you, with me, I don’t need any change right now. Well... maybe... I don’t like those curtains, I think I'll change them. -You're an idiot.- Bruce said laughing slightly, putting his forehead back on the other's chest, noticing how Tony was grabbing some of his curly hairs pulling gently, just to get his attention. -Would you change something in your life? Because I’ll be an idiot, but I am YOUR idiot forever, you can’t change me. -I could want to change anything, but never you.

Pressure

Day 5's prompt (PRESSURE) from @sciencebrosweek

This is part of my Hulk Babies series.

“Shit” Tony mumbled as he scanned the screen again. “Fuck” he mumbled again in growing frustration.

“Daddy gets mad when you say that word” Ellie said.

Tony whirled around in shock to see Ellie and Eddie sitting at the table staring at him.

“What in the world are the two of you doing up?” Tony said clutching at his heart. “Jarvis is supposed to tell me when you two are up” he said then stopped.  He had muted Jarvis after the 120th time he had asked Tony to go to bed.

“Jarvis wouldn’t say anything once we got at the bottom stairs so we came in anyway” Ellie replied.

“What are you working on Papa?” Eddie asked.

Tony sighed “A project for work” he said. Then he added “Next time Jarvis doesn’t respond I want you to knock before you come in here ok?” he added staring at the two of them.

“Yes papa” the chorused.  

Ellie frowned at him “You look like when daddy’s numbers don’t work” she replied.

Tony looked at his reflection in the monitor “How do I look like dad?” he asked.

Ellie and Eddie looked at one another “It’s an s word” Eddie said.

“ST” Ellie said trying to remember the word.

“Stressed. He looks stressed” Bruce replied from the doorway.

Tony whirled to face the doorway “Babe what are doing up” he asked.

“Jarvis alerted me that these two were going into your lab and he couldn’t warn you because you had muted him” Bruce replied.

Tony sighed “I am sorry’’ he said. “I shouldn’t have muted Jarvis you need your sleep” he said.

“So do you” Bruce said.

“I just need to finish this for the board meeting in the morning” Tony bargained.

“Do they keep adding things like last time?” Bruce asked.

Tony looked down briefly “maybe” he admitted.

“They have no right to keep doing this to you. They pressure you EVERY time, not taking into consideration you have a family now” Bruce replied getting agitated.

“I know babe” Tony said trying to calm Bruce down.

“Are you doing your best?” Eddie piped up.

The two men blinked over at the kids, they had forgotten the two were in there .

“What honey” Bruce asked.

“You and papa always tell us to do our best” Eddie said.

Ellie nodded “If you are doing your best but these board people don’t like it is that bad?” she replied.

Tony shrugged “not bad necessarily but not good either” he said.

“Will they fire you papa?” Eddie asked.                                                 

Tony shook his head “No” he said.

Ellie shrugged “Then does it matter” she replied.

Tony sagged in defeat “No it doesn’t” he agreed. Then he glanced at Bruce with tears in his eyes “How am I learning life lessons from them” he whispered.

“I think that’s the point of parenthood” Bruce replied.

Tony smiled “Come on guys let’s get some hot cocoa then go cuddle in bed?” he suggested.

“Yeah” the twins yelled as they ran up the stairs.

Tony kissed Bruce as he passed him “love you” he said.

Bruce smiled “love you too-come on” he said as they climbed up the stairs to the kitchen.
