DEAR GOD, THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR IRON MAN 2 HERE DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED
They're really minor spoilers, though.
Tony Stark is a nerd. Well, technically a geek because nerds are experts on things that aren't real (yet). Geeks are experts on things that already exist. Math, engineering, archaeology, psychology, forensic accounting... lasers.
Since Tony Stark is a geek, he builds an "advanced prosthesis device" using a technology that only a handful of people in the world even know about.
Since Tony Stark is a nerd, he integrates particle beam weapons into the palms of his suit. Sure, repulsors were awfully useful for flying, but what nerd doesn't want to be able to shoot energy out of their hands?
Since Tony Stark is a geek and a nerd, he adds lasers to the suit. He isn't even sure if they'll ever be useful. They certainly aren't practical, having one use and all. But they're fucking lasers.
He simply cannot resist.
*happy sigh* I loved Iron Man 2. There were a few...anti-climactic moments...but I was too busy nerdgasming about hacking/AIs/robots/exo-suits/plasma whips/lasers to even care.

Speaking of armor....
House
"Its cancer," Tony said,
Pepper paused at the edge of the room. She frowned at the back of Tony's head.
"Its obviously a blood clot," Pepper replied dryly,
Tony tilted his head over the back of his chair to grin at Pepper. Pepper skillfully avoided the attempt to charm her by staring at the large screen in front of them. House was harassing the patient, so they must be close to a diagnosis. House announced that their patient had a blood clot near his brain stem.
"Next time you'll be guessing lupus," Pepper smirked down at Tony.
Rescue
When Pepper found the suit (the suit) he had made for her, she felt a bit like Alicia Silverstone in that Batman movie. Panicky and a bit creeped out.
When exactly had Tony measured her to build it? Had he measured her in her sleep or something? Or worse, while she was awake?
She turned the idea over in her head while sizing up the suit. At least there was no giant Tony Stark face hovering above her. And at least he wasn't her uncle.
Notes: I made 2 Iron Man fics/drabbles whatever they're called...Apparently Pepper doesn't know very much about Batman comics continuity. Also posted to my FF account here.
