mini tony and dum-e

[keljnap]

[moritashie]

A crack fic idea where it turns out that Tony has at some point legally adopted or had been legally named DUM-E's parent. Because he's Tony freaking Stark, and if someone can marry a tree then he sure as hell can adopt his first robot.

Who’s putting coffee grounds in the disposal?

Did you guys notice that after Tony appointed Pepper as CEO of Stark Industries, he didn't have Alfred to clean up after him? We didn't see any cleaning staff at his Malibu home, Stark/Avengers Tower, the Compound, or Stark's cabin.

Only Dum-E. Who wasn't able to do everything/do it well enough.

And I'm sure Tony wouldn't allow strangers into his lab. So the only person who could do Tony's housework was Tony himself.

Tony’s bots are an untapped angst potential — no wait just hear me out!

Yk how Tony’s always threatening to donate DUM-E and the rest of the bots to a college? What if, while Tony was in Afghanistan, Stane actually did just that?

Then, when Tony comes back to a botless lab, he finds out what Stane did and gets them back, but DUM-E is different, more… robotic, for lack of a better word. All the personality Tony knows and loves is gone. No more spontaneous fire extinguisher, no more motor oil smoothies, instead he follows instructions perfectly and not much else.

It freaks Tony out, and at first he blames the people at the college, and goes on a rampage to find out what they’ve done to his precious son. No one will admit to doing anything, and after a thorough diagnostic, nothing seems wrong in DUM-E’s hardware or programming.

Until one day DUM-E makes some minor mistake, and suddenly he’s cowering and pushing his arm up to Tony in affection. Tony, by now an expert in reading robot body language, recognizes this as fear and placation, desperation. Begging. And that’s when Tony puts two and two together.

See, DUM-E’s programming is sophisticated, so he made the connection between Tony’s threats and what happened when he was sent away, but not sophisticated enough to recognize that Tony wasn’t the one who gave him away, that Tony wanted him back, or that it wouldn’t happen again. He’s been trying to be the perfect bot in hopes that Tony would keep him around, and now that he’s screwed up all he has left is to beg.

Please, Tony hears in the bot’s beeps and whirrs, please not again. I’ll be good. Please give me another chance, just one more chance. I won’t mess up again, I promise I’ll be good, I promise I’ll be perfect, please-

Tony comforts his son, petting the bot and gently explaining some things. He’s the one promising now, promising that he’ll never give DUM-E away, no matter what. Promising that he never meant to be away for so long, that he’s sorry he wasn’t there to protect him from Obie.

In the end, the bot’s personality comes back slowly but surely. Of course, Tony helps him along with plenty of pats and kindness.

could you maybe draw DUM-E from iron man?

Day 121 of drawing robots- sorry this is so late and for how inconsistent I’ve been lately… anyways, requests are open:)

Three generations of Starks

(I've got some story notes for Iron Man 2 below as well as an alt without the ghost dads)

Meeting The Legend:

Morgan would arrive at the beginning of Iron Man 2. Its practical, as she knows for a fact that her dad was there on the Stark Expo's opening night (and also 'cause she wants to see the first 21st century Expo). All her life, she was told how great a man- the futurist who saved the world- was and, as she grew older, wanted to form her own opinions of her father. Seeing him on stage surrounded by dancers, she finds it… egotistical.

Given that she has nowhere else to go and meeting her dad was the plan, she takes the bus to her dad's mansion in Malibu

(AN: In this au, the Stark Expo is on the old Stark Pictures lot, so New York doesn't get destroyed every other movie)

and sneaks in with the help of EDITH. The ai begins to expand JARVIS's capacity for independent thought & growth and convinces him to let her stay, telling him her story. Morgan camps out for almost two weeks while Tony is in Monaco, meeting the other bots and starting to get herself situated in this new time.

She doesn't reveal herself to Tony until just after the party. She's kind of horrified at seeing her moral paragon of a dad drunk off his ass and making a fool of himself. When she does reveal herself, he thinks she's a hallucination but doesn't really care, spilling that he's dying. Morgan, while intelligent and a time traveler, is still 15 and terrified that in coming back she cost her dad his life. Morgan stays up all night in a panic while Tony sleeps off being blackout drunk. They actually have to repeat their introductions as Tony doesn't remember the night before. He (to much pain in his throbbing skull) believes her story. They talk and it's a much better experience for Morgan… until Fury shows up.

First Contact With SHIELD:

Director Fury, 'Natalia', and Coulson come to give him a reality check and a pep talk. Morgan recognizes both Fury and Natasha but doesn't know any of them personally as they're all long dead in her time. She actually shuts herself in a closet but unfortunately for herself, she tried to play hide and seek against three superspies. Morgan is terrified of them, knowing that SHIELD was Hydra and they're SHIELD so, when Natasha opens the closet door, she kicks blindly. When Natasha pulls a gun reflexively, Morgan dons the Legacy suit. The nanotech gets Tony excited (even with the hangover) and Natasha finally takes in how Morgan's hand is shaking, repulser prepped but not charged. The spy backs off.

They head back to a communal space to talk but Morgan demands to know if they're Hydra. When they obviously say no, she asks them to prove it, which they also can't do because you can't prove a negative. She then asks for access to SHIELD's files so EDITH can hunt for clarification, which Fury also (justifiably) refuses to give her. Tony thinks she's confused and tries to explain the history, but Morgan just shakes her head and tries to explain to him that SHIELD was one and the same with Hydra.

Coulson, catching the 'was', takes in her suit and clothes and puts the pieces together. With his theory, he then registers what the kid actually said and steps forward. He puts his gun on the table and slowly sits on his knees in front of the couch she's sitting on. "What do you mean SHIELD and Hydra are one in the same?"

"… How do I know I can trust you?"

He takes out his lucky Captain America trading cards. The agent shares his passion for the legend that is Captain America and how the figure always inspired him to get back up and do the right thing, no matter the cost. How he's even kept a close eye on other super soldier attempts since. Eventually, he gets through to her and says that she'll tell him and only him. He agrees and they go into another room while Fury and Natashalie do the canon bagel scene with Tony.

After JARVIS and EDITH throw up some soundproofing and making sure there's no bugs, she tells Coulson what he needs to know. She's Tony's daughter from the future, SHIELD is infested by Hydra, and -in a couple years- SHIELD will fall because of it. Coulson believes her. She also reveals that they find Steve Rodgers in the next few years, which he is much more excited about.

Three Generations of Starks:

With the promise to not tell anyone else, even Natasha and Fury, they part. After Howard's stuff is dropped off, Coulson leaves them alone to deal with a different movie and leaves them to their making history. Rejuvenated by the temporary 'cure', Tony takes some time to be excited about the Legacy suit and her technology as a whole. He flits around workstations, chattering to JARVIS, and taking notes about all she knows about the armor (which isn't much for the record, it was never her expertise). Morgan's never seen this version of her father before. It's not the perfect phoenix-metaphor-turned-martyr or the reckless, egotistical dick- this is real.

The teen finds herself enjoying this as she pulls out Howard's models, interested in what her grandpa's 'city of tomorrow' looked like (that's more her expertise). Morgan had never heard stories of her grandparents. She knew they died when Tony was young, but she didn't know anything about them.

Seeing the film reel, she's initially confused on what to do with this and asks Tony, who makes a snarky comment on kids these days and sets it up with the projector. As he's setting it up, Morgan admits she's never heard stories of them. Tony repeats what he told Fury about how his dad didn't even like him and was happy to be rid of him, which causing Morgan to become pensive for a bit, a bit put off. They watch and Morgan tears up at the end, remembering her dad's last message to her.

She shares this connection with Tony, telling him the reason she initially came back and how she's gotten to form her own view of Tony Stark the man. How he is very flawed and makes mistakes but cares. How she sees this brief glimpse of Howard in him and how she viewed Tony growing up.

(AN: She's mirroring Tony and Howards relationship with herself and Tony but in reverse. She only ever heard about the futurist and is coming to find that he's a complex person. She's also complementing Tony's arc with his relationship to his father and the story's theme of legacy in the process its very fun)

And together, they make Starkium

Here is the promised alt

[itsagentromanoff]

Steve: If you guys will excuse me, I'm gonna go check on little Dum-E.

Bruce: Don't you mean Tony?

Steve: No, I mean Dum-E.

Bucky: Kiss him for me.

Steve: Tony?

Bucky: No, Dum-E!

Steve: Oh, okay.

[ironman-tonystark]

If DUM-E uses the fire extinguisher on me when I'm not on fire, one more time today, I'm putting him on Craiglist.

Memory Banks By

TheAsexualofSpades

DUM-E and U are staples in Tony Stark’s lab. They’ve been there almost since the beginning. They’re family. They have a dad, a mom, a concerned uncle, and a brother. Their memory banks are full of moments that help them remember.
