"But this is my stuff," Tony said, "you don't play around with my stuff." He turned back to his screen, grumbling about how he was going to have to change all of his settings now and play with the security to get it back up to par.

Lea stiffened a bit and stormed out of the lab, going down to get some tea.

"Sir," Jarvis prompted gently, "if I may?" He didn't actually wait for a reply, instead pulling up the program on Tony's screen so he could see what it was.

Tony opened his mouth to spout a bit more bullshit at Jarvis, but paused when he saw the program. He blinked, looked at it a bit closer, glanced at his bots, and then looked back.

"Jarvis, tell me what I'm looking at," he said.

"They're talking, sir," Jarvis said gently. "The program she made. It was for us all to be able to speak to each other, not just me to them. They are currently throwing Moon Moon references back and forth."

That surprised a snort out of Tony.

"Really, Jarvis, that's what they do when I'm not home? Troll Tumbr?" Pulling up the program itself, he scanned through it. He didn't want to admit it, but it was really well done. Especially for something that was put together over a weekend.

"As well as other sites of questionable authority," Jarvis agreed mildly. "They are having a good deal more fun being able to talk now as well as browse together."

Tony groaned a bit.

"Supervise them, J," he said. "Keep an eye on them."

"As always, sir." Jarvis sounded more amused than anything now. "And if I may, sir, might I advise apologizing to Leandra when she comes back?"

"Apologize? Jarvis, I specifically told her not to mess with my tech, at least not without my permission, I have nothing to apologize for, if anything it should be her instead." Tony set his face stubbornly. He wasn't going to budge on this one.

Jarvis didn't reply. Because he knew it was a bad idea and he knew it wasn't going to end well, but there was no reasoning with Tony when he was like this.

Tony knew the silence for what it was.

"Something else you want to say, Jarvis?" he asked.

"No, sir," Jarvis said, his voice mild. "Of course not. I already know you won't listen and what your response will be." But if he sounded faintly, disapproving, well, it was his right.

"I did not program you with that attitude, J, I know I didn't," Tony said, a bit huffy. He crossed his arms a bit and turned away from the screen, as if it would help.

Jarvis snorted but didn't bother with an actual response.

He stayed quiet when Lea came back in about an hour later, still sulky and angry.

By then, Tony was neck-deep in the new program code, going through piece by piece. He glanced over when Lea came in.

"You're not still mad, are you?" he asked.

"Men are pigs," was Lea's only response as she dumped her purse under her desk and hunched over her computer, which she'd stubbornly kept even when Tony tried to make her upgrade and use one of his extras that he had lying around.

"What?" Tony sputtered, turning around. "Excuse me?"

"You are," Lea said. "You don't want people touching your stuff, people think they can cop a free feel because I'm sitting alone in a café, other guys think just because I have boobs I should be serving them and worshipping the very ground they walk on." She scowled fiercely at her computer. "All men are pigs and I am of the firm opinion women would be better off without them."

"All men aren't pigs and you shouldn't have touched my stuff," Tony retorted. "I gave you stuff to play with already."

"You gave me stuff to do that your R&D department couldn't figure out because they're incompetent asshats," Lea shot back. "And the only male I've ever met who is not a pig is Bruce."

"I gave you more than that to play with," Tony protested. "I gave you your own section of the database system."

"You--what? You never told me about this." Lea narrowed her eyes at him. Because she was in a Mood and he just wasn't helping himself.

"You didn't even go and look to see what your new password actually gave you access to before you started breaking in to everything else?" Tony asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I log in with that password all the time!" Lea said, her eyes narrowing at him. "Nothing new popped up, I didn't see anything that said I had access to anything. I still don't." She pointed at her computer screen, since she had logged in with the username and password he'd given her.

"Then hit shift-enter," Tony said. Really, he hadn't thought that she wouldn't have found it; he had honestly thought a pop up would be too easy. She was supposed to be a tech-brain, after all.
