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

. . . well, I think there's an instruction manual.

Seriously?

[the popcorn is popping pls don't be alarmed]

[ watching it pop from his vantage point on the stool but not especially alarmed, no ]

To be fair, I'm not sure SHIELD ought to be trying to teach anyone how to be a normal person.

Maybe my standards are too high, but they seem pretty dumb for an intelligence agency.

[and after a couple of minutes he takes the bag out and tosses it to Steve]

Careful, it's hot.

[ thank goodness for these supersoldier reflexes otherwise I'd have dropped my pencil!! he catches the bag and turns it around so as to properly read the instructions. ]

Just open it. It won't blow up or anything.

[and starting up WALL-E on the biggest monitor he has]

About time someone gave you a proper introduction into this century.

[ glances at the monitor with some skepticism, but pulls the bag open, grabbing a few and offering the bag to Tony as he's nonetheless immediately transfixed by... the Pixar lamp ]

Wow.

...

[sits and takes some popcorn]

I am going to live to regret this.

[ grins ]

How often do you say that to yourself?

A lot more often than it's healthy.

[ turns back to the screen and . . . actually falls completely silent as he watches ]

[quiet too, paying more attention to Steve than to the movie and quietly hoping he'll do something funny]

[ eventually forgets to eat any more popcorn, just kind of holding it where he last had it positioned for Tony to reach.

when it reaches the end he kind of . . . clears his throat and maybe has to blink a few times and avert his eyes. ]

[I have a phone. This phone can take pictures. It can take pictures in the dark without making any noise.

...

Pictures are being taken.]

[ unfortunately for you I have a sixth sense for bastards up to no good.

. . . looking at Tony with a suspicious expression already fixed in place. ]

[:D?]

More popcorn?

[ glare ]

What are you doing?

I'm thinking about getting an instagram account for pictures.

I don't— Stark.

Did you like the movie?

[ sighs, giving up ]

It was good.

Those were AI. Well, sort of. JARVIS is smarter than that, Dummy is... a work in progress.

Well, it can't be very good for him to be called a dummy all the time.

He's tough, he can take it.

Sure.
