Robbie caught him on the return to the lab, which was a good thing because it meant this whole business wasn't going to be interrupted by Brainy really, really having to go.
Brainy was wearing his lab coat, and naturally he was mostly oblivious to everything around him, staring at a tablet, typing away with his fingers almost a blur, still at work even as he was walking through the halls.
He was even muttering to himself a little. Numbers. Words that sounded like they probably weren't normal English, not because he was speaking some untranslatable alien language, but because in less advanced universes, the scientific and mathematical concepts he was muttering to himself hadn't even been invented yet. There was no direct translation possible.
He passed right by Robbie without even noticing he was there.
"Inertron around a Valorium and Nth metal alloy coupling might do it but I'd have to adjust the peak velocity of the fralocution stream..."
