First fanfic I have ever written. EVER.
Tony Stark thinks he can't carry a tune in a bucket. (though he is, in this respect, completely wrong.)
This is partly why he loves metal bands: he plays the albums loud enough that nobody can hear him singing along, if he chooses to sing. (He's not WORRIED someone will make fun of his voice, because he KNOWS that if, say, Barton were to come to the workshop, there'd be no question: he WOULD talk smack.) But there are times when even the most obscure Scandinavian metal bands can't help him focus... In those rare moments Tony requires silence in the workshop instead of overwhelming noise.
Which is how he happened to notice Bruce's quiet, (though perfectly on key, Tony notices enviously) repetitive, musical humming.
At first, Tony's irritated: can't Bruce tell that silence is needed here?
But then the tune starts to seem familiar, and Tony feels like it's an older song, not OLD old, but from when Tony was a teenager... He flashes back to that one memorable (and extremely juvenile, in retrospect) party at MIT with a cartoon theme. The hosts had had an EPIC bar, huge screen TVs playing classic cartoons ("what about the kaboom! There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom?") Undergrad science experiments and demos filled the backyard along with various pajama-clad undergrads, and some performance majors were fire-juggling, fire breathing, hula-hooping and dancing. He remembers that those giant TV's had some of the newer cartoons playing, too... Including one about an obnoxious trio of Disney knockoffs who lived in a water tower on a Warner Brothers back lot, and who sang ridiculously, wonderfully nerdy (and slightly familiar) songs about the world: …
Tony comes back to himself in the lab. Bruce... Is Bruce humming an Animaniacs song?!?
Tony blinks. This is unexpected.
If he'd given any thought to the question (which he hadn't really, because hey, Tony Stark, BUSY HERE) he would have pegged Bruce as a, you know, WORLD music fan. To hum something by Ravi Shankar or an Indonesian meditation chant...
This means Tony gets an idea. A wonderful, AWFUL idea...
And all that's needed is a programming genius, a week's work, and unlimited access to streaming videos and music.
His eyes crinkle with glee. He can't WAIT to talk the Avengers into this.
(...to be continued, muahahahaha)
