Prompt/challenge you're answering: GLaDOS and Tony Stark can communicate without saying a word
GLaDOS never shuts up. She talks and talks and never actually says anything, and Tony just blocks her out, tries to ignore her threats and her taunts and instead works on a way out.
In any other circumstances, Tony thinks the two of them would get along great. He's a genius, she's a wonderfully crafted AI, they both love science - what's not perfect about that? The thing is, GLaDOS tells him one day while she stops Tony from escaping through a broken tile in one of the test chambers, she quite likes him, even though he's a dangerous mute lunatic. It's just he's got a nasty habit of refusing to test for the good of science. And that's just a shame. Doesn't he like science?
Tony doesn't talk back because that's what she wants. It's hard at first, because God knows Tony can talk up a storm when he wants. But for her it's stony silence and flipping her the bird. GLaDOS doesn't mind - she can read him like a book, she says, an easy-to-read children's picture book with lots of pictures. Not even very good pictures. The kind of pictures you'd find in a kindergarten class.
So they keep testing, and GLaDOS keeps talking and Tony keeps quiet, and in the end, when Tony finally sees sunlight and lets out a choked, harsh laugh, he wonders what GLaDOS would have to say about that.
