>>It appeared, but the list was hazed out. "You have completed three major tasks, Phil," said JARVIS. "Please consider taking a break."<<
JARVIS is so totally a handler. :)
>>"Lady scientists. Betty gave me a list," said Steve.<<
Someone should really point out to Steve that it's no longer considered polite to say "lady scientists" when referring to female scientists. (Or doctors, reporters, etc.) He'll get himself in trouble one day and then be all mortified and red-faced... Actually, that sounds adorable.. Let's not tell him. ;)
>>design them with fighting spaces. You know, like parks for nature, or how the highways have straight parts so you can land planes on them in an emergency.<<
Great idea in theory, but how would one convince the villains to start their attacks in the designated areas?
>> fire hydrants, gas mains, maybe there's a way to protect that better,<<
Fire hydrants can be underground, like they are in most places! Not that the Avengers' battles never involve breaking open the pavement...
>>I thought this would make a good approach for introducing you guys to modern technology," Tony said. "We can start with the basics and work our way through the projects together. You'll learn how to recognize parts, read schematics, and wire things according to a diagram.<<
Oh, clever plan!
>>"I'm not," Tony said. "You jumped over seventy years of technology, popped open a panel on a bleeding-edge ship, and took less than two seconds to identify its power source. That's pretty impressive."<<
Well, to be fair, to Steve, "wires and blinky lights" probably mean electricity because he doesn't know there are other options. Also, I didn't think Tony was being that dickish in that scene. His "You're not wrong," sounded, to me at least, like he was thinking, "Well, what did I expect when I asked him, really?"
I mean, how many people could have told Tony anything of substance looking at that? It had less to do with Steve's missing years and more with the fact that Tony rarely ever finds anyone who can actually converse with him about tech. ("Finally, somebody who speaks English!")
>>Tony grinned. "See, you figured it out. You're smart, Steve. Never let anyone tell you differently, even if it's me on one of my regularly scheduled be-a-dick days."<<
Awww...
>> I built the thing to be genius-proof," Tony said.<<
No such thing. +g+
>>"Yeah, he could make batteries in Baghdad with clay jars and some copper," Tony joked. In the kitchen, Bruce howled with laughter. Steve and Bucky shared a confused look.<<
I know I've said this before, but I just love how Tony and Bruce can give each other this--someone they can talk and joke with to without constantly having to explain themselves.
>>"The Baghdad Battery is a type of archaeological artifact made with those components," JARVIS explained.<<
And yay for JARVIS for bridging the gap!
>>"Honey, pancake syrup, or bacon grease," Clint said seriously. "Pour those over wires and mice will chew them to bits. Great way to start a fire if you want a delay longer than a fuse or timer will give you."<<
...provided there are mice around, that is.
>>But if you forget or you're in a hurry, you can quick-cook it for a few minutes and then put it into your recipe." He demonstrated. When the wheat berries started to get tender, Clint stirred them into the chili.<<
I put them in straight out of the box if I want to thicken something. Not only does the gluten help, the berries also absorb a good bit of liquid while cooking tender.
