After The Suits

"And so then I told General Ross that I was a virgin, but he took my hand and told me he'd be gentle." And...nothing. Tony thinks about throwing his shoe at Banner's head, but that probably wouldn't go over well and then he'd be missing a shoe. He liked this pair too. Pepper got it for him after he threw the last at the Vice President's head. "Banner." Nothing. "Banner, I'm going to come over there and give you the wettest, most amazing kiss--"

"Sir, might I remind you of Ms. Pott's condition?" JARVIS chimes in.

Tony has to concur. You don't cheat on your power powered girlfriend.

I just kept waking up over and over but enough to make sure of no REM sleep.

Bruce looks over and lifts a brow. Then he makes a bit of a face before shaking his head. "Only in your dreams, Stark. In the mean time, I've discovered a few key facts about this mess. I don't know what you've gathered so ill start from the top."

He shifts to face Tony fully. "A GE virus, but one like I've never seen before. It attacks the very genes of the human body and rewrites them from a single genetic code. One /perfect/ genetic code. All possible defects removed and ... Upgrades. The problem is that, from what I guess, the body either manages to accept the changes... Or destroys itself."

At least Tony wasn't that off base. He frowns a little and wriggles his fingers until Bruce reads his mind and gives him a pen. "This is what I wrote on the back of Maya's card that night." It's useful to have an eidatic memory sometimes, when it's note hazed over by an alcoholic stuppor. The equation is more like a physics and math problem then a chemical equation. "I don't really know where it fits in. Or if it can be used in stabliztion. I was pretty drunk."

...Who was Maya again? Bruce feels guilty again for falling asleep but does his best to hide it. He studies the equation, trying to put it into place, before only being able to shrug. "For now, we'll have to break this down to get far enough for this to help. This... This is the most complex virus I've ever seen."

He hums for a moment, then nods. "I need clean samples. I need to see it in action."

"Hey, Banner, that's my girlfriend!" The outrage is too played up to be genuine anger. Tony smirks as he rubs his face and nods for Bruce to follow.

Groan. Bruce just groans at the bad joke and follows Tony, though a touch nervous. Less because of what this is, more because he doesn't know Pepper at all and just who is he to jump into her very personal life like this?

By the time they get up, Bruce looks ready to bolt. "Maybe it should wait until I properly meet her..."

[starkingenuity]

"You're a doctor, Banner. And you met her sometime between the whole yelling at me thing and the you packing up and going thing. I'm sure she remembers you. After you."

[aggravated]

"That isn't /meeting her/," Bruce stresses, but then Tony opens the door and despite his better judgement, he's forced to go in to meet her.

Or stand awkwardly in the door way.
