"Tony, are you sure this is safe?" Bruce asked warily, making note of the exposed wiring and electrical circuits on Tony's latest experiment.
"Completely... 12% safe." Tony assured him with a smirk.
"What you are doing down there?! Jarvis said it was dangerous!" Pepper expected to find only Tony in the lab he shared with Bruce, especially at such an early morning hour, but found that they were both working on some large metallic device that looked a lot more like a second attempt on Ultron than the pop-tart machine she found them making last week.
"Just testing... stuff." Tony said, tossing a wrench over his shoulder, where Bruce caught it and hid it behind his own back.
"Bruce?" Pepper turned her stone cold glare in his direction, knowing where she could find the truth, no matter how sciencey and confusing it was.
"Gamma Deflective shielding designed to contain the Hulk, after what a success his last contraption was." Bruce shot a look at Tony and went back to plugging in wires to a control panel.
"How was I suppose to know Hulk would go full-on groundhog-mode?" Tony turned on his heel towards Bruce.
"Don't let him blow up the building." Pepper begged Bruce before grabbing her ringing phone and taking a call on her way back upstairs.
"You're asking a mad green monster to control a mad scientist? Because that always works out so well." Bruce mumbled quietly to himself.
"Alright, Brucie, let's see what she can do." Tony took a step back from their invention and pressed a button on his phone, closing metal protectors around the room and over the windows.
"I can just spectate, right? No big green?" Bruce side stepped away from the powering-up machine.
"No big green." Tony assured him, then pressed a button on the control panel.
Shields emerged from the center of the machine, and spread out around the room and over Tony and Bruce, encasing them in the see-through green-colored substance.
"Don't touch it..." Tony made a face over at his phone, which had been left on the workbench outside of the shield's walls. "It'll most likely rip apart your flesh..."
"Comforting." Bruce told him, examining the shielding without getting to close. "How exactly are we getting out of here?"
"Simple, I just have to press the deactivation button on my phone." Tony replied, tossing a pen into the forcefield, which disintegrated on impact.
"Tony." Bruce rubbed his hand over his face annoyedly, pointing with his other hand to the StarkPhone sitting on the workbench beyond the forcefield.
"Dammit." Tony rushed as far towards the workbench as he could and did something resembling an attempt at using the force before he turned back to Bruce. "Don't worry, Clint, Natasha, and Steve said they were going out to get take-out Schwarma for dinner, they'll be back soon..."
Bruce face-palmed and gave Tony a (sort-of)gentle punch on the shoulder.
"Ow." Tony complained, rubbing his shoulder defensively.
"What about Pepper? Think she'll come down anytime soon?" Bruce asked, ignoring his complaints.
"Nah, she had a meeting scheduled for..." Tony glanced at the clock on the wall. "Now."
-LINEBREAK-
"Man, this place is packed on Friday nights. Should've just ordered pizza." Clint said after standing in line for a little over a half hour.
"Be patient, there're only a few people left in front of us." Natasha told him, playing flappy bird on her StarkPhone.
She was surprisedly good at a game that was supposedly impossible, Clint thought to himself as he watched her play over her shoulder.
"Order 582!" A woman called from behind the counter.
"That's us." Steve said, excusing himself through the crowd of people and handing money to the woman, who in exchange handed him a warm bag of heavenly Schwarma.
"We'd better get back to the tower before it gets cold, Stark'll whine for days if we bring him cold Schwarma." Clint said as they made their way to the front of the restaurant, opened the front doors, and began walking back towards Avenger's Tower.
-LINEBREAK-
"I think they're back." Tony said, hearing a soft beep from the elevator coming from the hall.
"How can you tell?" Bruce asked, jumping up off the floor and staring down the empty hall.
"Elevator beeps each floor it passes, I swear it just beeped." Tony said excitedly.
As if on cue, Natasha, carrying a big bag of Schwarma, appeared in the doorway of the lab to tell Bruce and Tony the food was here.
"What the..." Natasha mumbled, coming up short of anything to say when she saw the state of her teammates.
"Blue button on my phone!" Tony yelled to her, pointing to his phone on the workbench in front of her.
She did as she was told, and the forcefield disappeared, freeing Bruce and Tony.
"Freedom! And Schwarma!" Tony jumped up and down like a kid, shoving his face into the Schwarma bag and smiling at the most pleasant smell he had ever smelled.
"Never helping him with a science project again." Bruce told Natasha quietly after Tony had taken off carrying the Schwarma bag to the main room for dinner.
"Yes you will." Natasha said with certainty.
