Crowdsourcing this one since I haven't found the answer myself.

My mother was a tree and a needle, as well as being who she was. My father was lightning and a thread. Who am I?

[Non sequiter? Oh.] Is that your field?

[synanthrope]

Yes. I have a PhD in mechanical engineering, and I'm certified in most electrical engineering.

[hulkbusted]

Useful. Do you use it here?

[synanthrope]

I own a garage.

[hulkbusted]

Do you take side jobs? Because I haven't seen very many cars around.

[synanthrope]

I designed and built the bank safe.

I'm quite well off from that job still.

[hulkbusted]

Nice. How do you compensate for all the different kinds of people here on a job like that?

[synanthrope]

You employ all kinds of talents.

[hulkbusted]

Okay, fair enough. I didn't want details to plan my future bank robbery, but why would you take my word on that? I'll keep you in mind if I need engineering help.

[synanthrope]

Please don't hesitate.

Tony left behind so many toys I haven't had any trouble getting by on my own so far. Uh... Tony Stark. Were you here when he was here?

[synanthrope]

Yes. I've been in his workshop.

[He fucked me on the worktable.]

[hulkbusted]

What did you think?

[Where's the bleach?]

[synanthrope]

It's very impressive.

[hulkbusted]

He was here for a short time and left a tower full of the best toys.

[synanthrope]

Have you accessed his virtual designs yet?

[hulkbusted]

Some, but he left a lot of data. Did he sleep even once while he was here?

[synanthrope]

Yes.

[She knows that for a fact.]

[hulkbusted]

Pepper probably had to hit him with a tranquilizer dart to manage it.

[Oblivious, wut?]

[synanthrope]

It's not that difficult. One or two orgasms does the trick fine.

[TACT, WUT?]

[hulkbusted]

Uh... It's a standard male physiological response, but you know, I don't need to know that, thanks.

[synanthrope]

But you already did know that.

[hulkbusted]

I didn't need to know that you knew that. About him. So specifically.

[synanthrope]

I'm not ashamed, and I doubt he would be. Why are you?

[hulkbusted]

I'm not ashamed, I'm... [Terribly uncomfortable, sexually frustrated, and really preferring to think of Tony with Pepper...] Raised Catholic.
