"Pretty sure I'd also have to become a neurologist, too," Tony quips, though it takes a moment for his neurons to start firing again after that kiss. Despite the name, a neural network isn't quite the same thing as an actual working model of a human brain; it's just borrowed terminology. "But, you know, what's one more discipline to learn in my free time?"
He runs his hands flat over the lapels of Stephen's jacket before he grasps them firmly and moves to push the jacket back off over his shoulders. "The supercomputer would be the easy part of it, to be honest." Biology isn't his best area, but he's learned a thing or two about different sciences - and, since he's Tony Stark, "not his best area" qualifies as "above most people with degrees in the field".
The real problem with what Stephen's envisioned is time - the kind of project he's envisioned is something that would take a full team of scientists a solid decade to complete. Like Tony said, JARVIS is something he's mainly put together in his spare time; he still has to pay the rent, so to speak, by inventing new toys for the DoD. Fancy science shows might be Nobel Prize-worthy, but the likelihood of most hospitals being able to afford something like that is incredibly low.
Which doesn't stop Tony from leaning in and mouthing a line of kisses down that long neck of Stephen's. It's a very attractive neck; he'd noticed that earlier.
