science is fun [closed]

[wrathfulkhan]

Characters: Tony Stark, Gene Khan, Raine Sage
Date: Early September
Location: The labs in Stark Industries
Situation: "Hi, I'm Tony Stark, and welcome to Jackass." Hey you know those crazy-ass rings of insane phenomenal power? We should test them. For science.
Warnings/Rating: Idiot teenagers attempting Mythbusters science with technology beyond either of their ken. Watch what happens. someone's prolly gon git hurt and it's prolly gon be gene

So, things are weird.

Not much weirder than usual, granted, but weird all the same.

The weirdest thing, though, is that Tony has agreed to work with Gene. Doing science. Ring science. The last one's still locked up in Tony's possession, of course, and a good thing, too. But they both decided that they ought to test the effects of using only one at a time...just in case.

There's a whole section of the lab they have to themselves, which is great, because Gene is going to need a lot of room and a lot of test dummies to test out all the rings' powers.

It was stupid, [Tony mutters, almost to himself.] I never should have tried this without my equipment.

[He still sounds upset, and now there's some frustration creeping into his voice. The rings are powerful, and dangerous, and at his fingertips - and as inscrutable as ever. He's trying to unravel the technological secrets of a galaxy-conquering alien race with tools that might as well be a tin can and a couple of sticks.]

I don't know why I even bothered, [he continues glumly, and sighs. After a few seconds of stewing in his melodramatic angst dejection, he sighs again, and turns to Raine.] If you're going to stay and watch Gene, do you want me to take a look at that jelly thing?

[It's the best he can do to salvage this thoroughly unfortunate situation.]

You bothered because it's safer, relatively, to learn what you can and can't do in a controlled environment. [Her tone implies she really shouldn't have to point this out to them, especially Tony. He's a scientist. It was a sound idea. Training accidents happen, and she's cleaned up enough of those.]

Yes, I'd appreciate it. It's not... vital, but would be very useful. [She lost track of it, a little, in the frantic rush to make sure Gene was all right; now she locates it and offers it to Tony, no worse for wear.]
