I think I'd like to know what you're thinking.

I miss Banner. He'd be following.

[points at the screen, but there's nothing coherent in it yet so he turns to Steve with a sigh]

I was thinking, Natasha isn't going to do anything unless Bucky suddenly turns into the other guy. And that's stressful for both of you because we don't have a time-frame for that. We can't mark our calendars and wait for it, and if it happens when you two are not in the same general area it's gonna get problematic.

So, I can make something. Simple technology, if Bucky's pulse disappears it can warn you. So, accessories. Are you following now?

I'm following.

Either ring or bracelet, your call. It'd go on the hand he's supposedly losing, and you can get whatever you want. I can have it warn JARVIS too, if you want.

You can draw them, make it something more personal than a high-tech alarm. Getting the specs ready will take me a few hours anyway.

[ raises an eyebrow a little at that suggestion, though his expression is mostly just considering. ]

. . . bracelets will be just fine.

Do you have somewhere else to be?

I'm all yours.

Seriously, draw them. JARVIS can scan it when you're done and save me the effort. Besides if you leave it up to me I'll just decorate them with Iron Man motifs.

Are you sure you don't wanna insist?

[ but he's already picking up his sketchpad and sitting down with it. ]

I can paint them gold and red.

[calling the bot in the corner]

Slick, come on time-out over. You're on cleaning duty, chop chop.

[ shakes his head with a small smile, settling in but not drawing anything just yet. ]

. . . if it alerts Jarvis, he just tells you?

Yeah, usually. I'd know as soon as you did. He could also sound an alarm but I'm not sure this is something we'd want made public.

...

Plus, if the alarm gets set off because he took it off it'd be embarrassing.

I meant does he only tell you. Think that answers it though.

[turns around to look at him]

Yeah, by default he only tells me. Why?

Because then it's fine.

... okay. Do you want anyone else to know?

Rather not.

Okay, no problem.

[Slick seems to have obtained a broom and is doing his best to sweep the lab]

Thanks.

[ lifting up his feet for Slick to sweep under ]

If you see an open flame anywhere near that bot, please warn me. Actually if you see an open flame at all, yell.

As fire drills go, it . . . communicates?

[only half paying attention to Steve, but seems happy to ramble as he works]

No, no... it started one. I'm not sure how, JARVIS isn't sure either. We're thinking he managed to cause a short-circuit somehow, the main concern is that he'll try to do it again. It happens sometimes with these bots when they're not sure if what they did was wrong. It's easier to let them get through it than to reprogram them, as long as they're under supervision.

Planning to be a father someday?

And in an attempt to catch himself drops a toolbox on himself

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW]

Are you okay?
