[What does an insomniac superhero do at night? They wander off the pool house and build their own working area in the underground labs]

Yeah, think I've got it.

[ hops up from the chair to bring the sketchpad to him. they're both fairly simple, solid bands that don't require a clasp, nothing noticeably matchy about them aside from the similar aesthetic. ]

[ okay then I am going to preen myself. ]

... maybe I'll give you a job for whenever we're not superheroing.

[he takes the sketchpad and sets on the table]

JARVIS, try scanning it. About time we tested the new sensors anyway.

[a light comes from somewhere on the ceiling and a minute later there's a reproduction of the drawing on Tony's monitor]

[ smiles a little, watching the process. ]

See? He is in the ceiling.

[streeeetches, then curls up on the ground.]

I got sensors on the walls and the floor too, Rogers.

[ wait i know where there are blankets! going to retrieve one and fly it up onto the couch. ]

[watches him quietly, nnnot moving yet.]

Yeah, but then I'd just look crazy.

But talking to the ceiling is sane behavior?

[ arranging it into a uh. nest-like thing. or something. ]

Get up here, it's cold down there.

[. . . pads over, hopping up onto the couch and settling in.]

Compared with talking to thin air?

[ nods at the monitor ]

Will those work?

[ tries to preen him a little. ]

Yeah, they might be a bit thicker than you drew them— I do have to fit stuff in it. But it should be fine.

Any thoughts on the materials? The only stuff I have around is the alloy my suit's made of...

. . . buddy, c'mon, that's not working.

. . . any progress on the shield? You could maybe make them out of the same thing.

. . . oh. Right.

It's a bit overkill, isn't it? And I haven't gotten anywhere yet, I'm still getting tools.

Mm . . .

[curls up.]

It's durable, which would prevent any false alarms, right? But you can use whatever you want, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I could make it with plastic and there wouldn't be any false alarms... well no, maybe not plastic. Anyway, the material won't make much of a difference the alarm will only go off if it stops getting a pulse.

[ tucks his head against him. ]

. . . guess this'll do for now.

[ waves a hand ]

I'm not arguing with you, Tony.
