Nick Fury and Tony Stark: A Meeting of Minds
Nick Fury: Tony, I’m almost afraid to ask, but what kind of chaos have you brewed up in that lab of yours this week?
Tony Stark: Chaos? Fury, come on, you wound me. I prefer to call it “innovative mischief.” Let’s just say I’ve been working on some adjustments to my suit. You know, a few tweaks here, some experimental repulsor tech there.
Nick Fury: Experimental, huh? I just hope these “tweaks” don’t end up turning half of New York into an abstract art exhibit. SHIELD has enough on its plate as it is.
Tony Stark: Relax, Director. I’m only aiming for Picasso-level at most. Besides, I have Friday to keep things in check.
Nick Fury: That AI of yours might be the only thing standing between us and your so-called masterpieces. Speaking of which, any chance of sharing some of your new tech with SHIELD? Could come in handy to keep the planet in one piece.
Tony Stark: You know me, always happy to lend a hand—or in this case, a suit. But under one condition…
Nick Fury: Here we go… Alright, let’s hear it.
Tony Stark: Next time you decide to pull me into one of your “delicate missions,” I get to bring my playlist. You know I work best with some AC/DC blasting in the background.
Nick Fury: As long as it doesn’t drown out the mission briefings, I suppose we can reach some middle ground. Just remember, Tony, world-saving is a team sport. We don’t need any solo acts on this stage.
Tony Stark: Team player, got it. As long as I’m the captain, right?
Nick Fury: Nice try, Stark. But until you can grow a taste for secrecy and a preference for trench coats, that title’s still mine.
Tony Stark: Touché, Fury. Well, I guess I’ll leave trench coats and mysterious disappearances to the professionals. But if you ever need a flashy entrance, you know who to call.
Nick Fury: And if you’d ever consider a career change involving fewer explosions, you know who not to call.
With a quick exchange of knowing smiles, Stark gives a nod and makes his way out, leaving Fury with one of the rare moments of amusement in his eternally busy schedule.
