Gene unironically just says stuff he learns from his friends. Only the things he actually knows the meanings of though. He’s not dumb enough to not even know what he’s saying lol.

His Technopolian friends usually have no idea what he’s talking about- (until he explains) even with the simpler metaphors

(somewhat inspired by @docthechaosking)

It was a peaceful morning at Avengers Mansion, and most of the team were having breakfast.

Just then, Clint and Bruce walked in.

Clint was wearing a plain green T-shirt and blue boxers.

And Bruce was wearing a purple T-shirt with a target on it and dark purple pajama pants.

"Morning." the two Avengers said to their teammates.

"Morning." the others responded back.

But just as Tony (who was wearing a maroon robe) was about to take another sip of his coffee, he realized something.

"Uh........why are two wearing each other's shirts?" the playboy billionaire asked.

"Wait. You don't know?" Janet (who was wearing a black tank-top and black pajama pants with a bee pattern scheme) asked.

"Know what?" Tony asked.

"That Clint and Bruce are dating." Scott answered.

"YOU GUYS ARE DATING?!" Tony asked in shock.

"Yeah." Bruce simply answered.

"I'm honestly surprised you did noticed sooner." Clint remarked.

(Flashback Montage Starts)

During a mission briefing in the meeting room, Clint blows a kiss to Bruce, who smiles and metaphorically catches it.

While on a group stroll through the gardens, Bruce picks a flower and hands it to Clint, who starts blushing.

During a group move night in the living room, Clint and Bruce are ferociously making out, with the latter sitting in the former's lap.

(Flashback Montage Ends)

"Huh. I'm surprised I never did." Tony said.

"Well.....they aren't the only ones." Steve (who was wearing a white tank-top and blue pajama pants) said.

"Morning, darlin' (babe), (my love)....."

Everyone immediately turned their heads towards the kitchen entrance to see a trio consisting of Logan (who was wearing nothing but a pair of blue pajama pants), Simon (who was wearing purple pajamas), and Hercules (who was wearing nothing but a towel).

They entered the kitchen and proceeded to kiss Steve, Vision, and Thor on the cheek, much to Tony's shock.

"Wait.....you're all dating?" the playboy billionaire asked, stunned.

"Yeah....." the three Avengers answered, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Let me tell you Stark. I've been with many men throughout my lifetime, but none have been able to match my stamina much like Odinson here." Hercules remarked, prompting Thor to look both embarrassed and flattered.

"Well since this is all coming out, I guess I should as well.....me and Scott are dating too." T'Challa (who was wearing black silk pajamas) said.

"Oh my God! Everyone's coming out of the closet right now!" Tony cried.

"You better believe it, dude!" Scott (who was wearing a red T-shirt and black briefs) quipped, prompting T'Challa to chuckle a bit.

"Jesus.....is there anyone here who's into women?" Tony asked.

"Hey baby......"

Everyone turned their heads towards the kitchen entrance again to see Jennifer (who was wearing a purple short-lived crop-top and a lavender thong) and Jessica (who was wearing a red tank-top and black boxers).

"Jennifer? What are you doing here? And why are you dressed like that?" Bruce asked in confusion.

"Oh. I was just spending the night with the short-haired cutie right over there." Jen answered as she pointed towards Janet, who started blushing.

"You're dating my cousin? How come you never told me?!" Bruce questioned.

"Wait, she's your cousin?" Janet asked, looking confused.

"Oh my God. Am I really the token straight of this team?" Tony asked.

Gene explaining to Dr. X that the ‘tism just be hittin’ after he got in trouble for “ignoring” him for the 8,000,000th time

Multiple Classifications

(I might be wrong about my analyzations lol so correct me if so, you can also ask me about my reasoning behind these classifications bc the only thing I love more than getting comments is responding to them hee hee ha ha 😊)

Gene: When he’s super overwhelmed with high stress or anxiety, he might scratch himself really hard (due to his long-undiagnosed autism, he also has small scars from doing it ever since he was younger) and his heart will also start beating painfully hard and make it tough for him to breathe properly. If he’s alone, he’ll just curl up with his head in his knees on the floor, and he might cry a little. He’ll usually just try to deal with it by himself, but if he manages to think clearly enough, he’ll remember to do at least one of these 3 things; ask for help, do something he likes (like computer chess), or grab his stress ball.

Alexander: He would constantly shake his head and ruffle his own hair really fast and hard, and also bite his fingernails along with panicky pacing back and forth. If it’s REALLY bad he might hit himself or something hard, or just sit down and/or curl up into a ball, kinda like Gene.

Twinkle: She would land on the ground (this is healthy bc fluttering her wings adds a bit to her heart rate and that’s the last thing she needs during a panic attack) and start hyperventilating and tearing up, and of course slowly lose her magic power. A cute sight, a big hug, or a good cup of tea should calm her down.

Ruby: She would freeze up and she would tremble slightly, not very visibly (bc she tries to stay still and not show weakness) but you could tell if you looked at her shaky hands. Her face twitches slightly, and she also sweats and her hands become clammy. If it gets REALLY bad, she might pull some dead hair out.

Alien: His ears would basically do what cat ears do when he feels threatened; bend backward, not floppy but not straight up, right in between, he would also growl a lot and be very tense, primed to pounce (also like a cat). lol this whole part ended up in his colors-

Sir Ulf: His heart rate would increase and start to hurt, and he would sweat… Then he’d lay down for a while, bc aside from a good hug, a small rest usually gets rid of it.

Sir Garroth: The only way you’d even notice is because his pupils contract and he’d sweat a bit. That’s literally it, bc he’s so good at hiding his vulnerabilities. He won’t even retreat to deal with it behind a closed door… He’ll stay in the same spot for as long as he feels he has to, and the longer he forces himself through it, the worse he’ll have to deal with in private when he finally gets a moment to himself….

Sir Archibald: He will immediately run away from whatever started it (which is actually a pretty good tactic of dealing with anxiety, first things first get tf away from whatever’s bothering you) and find a quiet spot to calm down, he might cry for a while, then he’ll regulate his breathing, then he’ll stay there for however long he still needs to, and then get up and jump back into it. (ngl he probably has the healthiest anxiety response out of everyone here bc he’s so used to it)

The Black Baron: Yes, him too. Everyone gets uneasy or freaks out sometimes, even cocky, gay-coded little bastards like this guy. He often fears that not only will his plans not work, but they’ll go horribly wrong and get him caught (or oofed) someday, however he hates feeling weak so he drowns his troubles in alcohol, specifically his favorite red wine (that he does not pay for and just steals straight from the shop lol).

Rhypan: (this is how I spell it so don’t come at me with no “akshually 🤓”) He also hates feeling weak bc it’s the same feeling he got whenever his father yelled at him and beat him so he’ll go ham on the training dummies and then maybe read a nice book. (again, may be one of the healthier anxiety responses here…)

(This analysis takes both the canon and my AU into account, but mostly my AU. And by “cooked,” I mean they will KILL OR SEVERELY INJURE YOU.)

Ruby: It’s normal, you’re still c o o k e d if she locks in tho

Gene: Even when angry he’ll remain mostly calm and still pack you up, but you’re MEGA COOKED if you manage to exhaust all his patience reserves

Twinkle: YOU’RE GIGA COOKED, “angry” usually isn’t a word in her vocabulary, but if you manage to tap into her pent-up rage she will disintegrate you

Alex: GOODNIGHT TO YOUR WHOLE BLOODLINE 💀💀🪦 Alex may not be as cold and calm as Gene or as perpetually cheery as Twinkle, and it’s a lot easier to tell when he’s upset, but him being genuinely crashout level angry is even less common than Gene and Twinkle being crashout level angry. Crash out and lock in 🗿

Black Baron: Not that cooked unless you can’t fight that well or run that fast, and either way, it’s not like he’d sleep you where you stand like the Super 4 would….

Forchesacc (or however tf it’s spelled): Cooked unless you can outsmart him or dodge his magic blast attacks

Baba Cara: She’s kinda like Forchesacc, but ngl if you’re not Gene, Alex, Ruby, or Twinkle you might be cooked. And I mean deep fried frog legs cooked

The Fairies: Barely cooked, more like soft-boiled, especially if it’s the Farty Queen. If you either 1) have the ability to run hide and dodge or 2) don’t mind being turned into a frog ngl you straight. You going home alive at least

Dr. X: Straight up raw, not cooked at all. Only way you’d be cooked is if one of his machines malfunctions again (which they will), but you could sleep the man himself

Rock Brock: Ngl why would he fight you- not cooked at all

Sir Garroth: Again, not that cooked unless you can’t fight, this mf got pimp slapped by a skinny black man who was shorter than him, I’m sure you could do it too

Sir Archibald: Not cooked unless he calls his comrades

Sir Ulf: Super cooked, that Behemoth will crush you like a soda can

The Colossus: Kinda like Ulf, but slower and dumber, and besides Alex beat that thing at 1/100th his usual size, so ngl you safe if you’re fast and/or short

The Trolls: I’m actually convinced the Colossus is secretly just an armored troll, plus they always get bullied by the witches so they’d be just as easy, 100% survival rate with minimal to no injury

The Pirates: Not cooked unless you have something shiny they’d want, are on their turf, and you can’t swordfight or swim

Rubens: Cooked, grease fried, seasoned, plated, and served at his tavern

Black Castle Guards: Midly boiled, if you can dodge, fight or run even the tiniest bit well the flunkies should be light work no reaction… the real problem is Rhypan, he’d defo be more of a challenge but he’s at least survivable with minimal to moderate injury

Gene calling himself the best and/or saying that he’s never wrong isn’t him having an ego. He’s literally stating facts.

Back in Technopolis, he’d always been statistically “one of the best,” if not THE Best. Valedictorian of his class in grades, superb inventions, superior smarts. Plus, he was rarely incorrect about anything factual. So by all means, he was the best.

This made him the target of a lot of envy, admiration, and jealously, and the bullying was just as incessant as the praise. So Gene doesn’t exactly feel like he’s all that great. But being “the best” is all he’s ever known, and it was considered a fact, so he can’t help but believe in and repeat that. He didn’t exactly anticipate that it could be misunderstood as “egotistical.”

So whenever something contradicts that, such as him making a mistake or being wrong, he gets even MORE insecure about it. Like in the episode with the “dragon” army, where he was hesitant to admit it when he (and the other characters) thought he was wrong and struggled to get his flow back after that, especially when Ruby kept teasing him about it. (That is, until they discovered that he was right all along, much to his excitement and Ruby’s chagrin.)

Back in Technopolis, you’re either the best or you’re nothing at all. Gene is statistically the former, but emotionally, feels more like the latter… until his friends help him build up his self confidence. Now, Gene has learned a brand new fact…

It doesn’t matter whether he’s statistically the best or the worst, his friends — no… his family will still love him the same.
