Just an impromptu short one-shot following the events of the Battle of New York Before they get shawarma. No offense to any proud Blackberry owners. Un-betaed.
Hours. It had taken him an hour to get back to his lab because the building had gone on lock-down after the battle. He hadn't been able to get in because his suit was broken so there was no talking to JARVIS. He had eventually found some random Blackberry that had somehow not been crushed in the mayhem and hacked the Tower so they could get in. Well, when he said they, he really meant just him, because everyone else had flown up with Thor. But, not Tony, it was personal and after 45 minutes of swearing and nothing working, he had finally gotten in. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Tony Stark hacked the Stark Tower with a Blackberry.
After dragging himself to his lab he faced another problem. The power was out. Something about nuclear blasts messing with the electrical outlets. Fortunately he had his backup generator. Unfortunately it only put out enough power to get JARVIS online, not enough to power his suit-up/un-suit-up machine. So he was stuck in a battered piece of super cool tech that served about as much purpose as a tin can, or Iron Can as it were.
After more hours and more swearing the team was beginning to wonder what had happened to the "go out for shawarma" idea, so they came down to Tony's lab. When they got there they found Tony trying to pry his suit off with a flat head screwdriver.
Of course Clint could not keep from making a joke a Tony's expense. "Stark, you want me to find you a can opener?"
"Aren't you just clever, Barton? And, no. I can do it myself, thank you very much." Tony snarked back. He then bent his head back to his task, obviously more out of stubbornness than a desire for results.
He waited a few minutes after the team had left, then he lifted his head and asked, "JARVIS, what is the biggest can opener we have?"
