“You were, but I didn’t think you’d want to come right now.” Tony said, glancing at Loki as he followed behind. Tony never expected or asked someone to come with him in these situations. Occasionally Thor would come with him if Hulk had fully emerged, but that was rare. Slowing as they neared the lab, Tony looked back to Loki again. “Just stay behind me.” He said before they entered. Inside, Bruce’s side of the lab, which was usually fairly organized and clean, was wrecked. Standing at a table, hands clutching the edge table, Bruce was hunched over a little. You couldn’t really see him, but his shirt was straining slightly from the swell of muscles. Tony paused for a moment to consider everything with a frown before he took a slow breath and moved, making sure to make a little noise before he spoke. “Hey Brucey-Baby, whatcha doin?” he asked lightly, circling around, staying carefully out of reach plus some until Bruce’s head whipped around to glare at Tony. Bruce was caught between himself and Hulk, his face twisted and angry, but there was a look in his eyes showing that he wasn’t completely gone yet. “Hey….it’s just me…..Just Tony and Loki, nothing to be angry about.” He smiled. The man’s eyes snapped to Loki and he gave a low growl, but then gripped the table harder and turned his head away, Bruce fighting off the urges.

Tony smiled slightly when Bruce managed to look away from Loki. Glancing at Loki’s hand when it touched his shoulder, he quickly brushed it off. ‘He won’t hurt me.’ He whispered in the god’s mind. Tony never showed anything but trust for Hulk and Bruce, so he wasn’t going to let it seem like he’d stopped trusting him now. Inching closer, Tony tilted his head at Bruce. “Hey man, hey, look at me…..come on, I know you hear me.” Tony said softly, waiting for Bruce to turn his head towards him. When the man finally did, he stopped moving and smiled. “See? I mean I know I’m ugly, but…” he shrugged. With that a faint hint of a smile spread over Bruce’s face and the barest amount of tension left him. “So, you want to tell me what’s gotten you so worked up? Your team lose a game or something last night?’ Tony continued, trying to get Bruce’s humor to help him out. Again there was a brief light of humor in Bruce’s eyes, but a low growl followed and Tony sighed, taking another step closer despite the noise. “Come on….you know I don’t speak growl, I need words Bruce.”

Tony glanced at Loki when he spoke and Bruce let out another, more annoyed growl at the words. Sighing, Tony held up his hand. “Words Bruce, words.” He said slowly. That had the man pounding the table in anger, but it faded after a moment and his face contorted with effort. “Leave.” He finally managed. “Not going to happen Brucey-Baby, I’m staying right here.” Tony replied, not even flinching at the roar that followed. After that, Bruce seemed to calm a little, or at least resign himself to the fact that Tony was staying, no matter what. With that, Bruce raised his hands to cover his face. Tony noticed something else in that moment. Blood. It wasn’t much, but more than enough to show it had seriously hurt. That had to be part of what had triggered this. “Did you cut yourself Bruce? Can you show me?” he asked softly.

Bruce slowly slid his hands from his face as Tony questioned him, eyes darting to Loki at his words. Very slowly he extended an arm to show a slice up the side of it and burning around the edges, as if from an acid. Probably a beaker or something that he broke. Tony held out a hand to keep Loki from moving forward as he slowly stepped closer. Taking Bruce’s large hand between his, Tony carefully pulled his arm out to better see the injury. Bruce flinched at the touch, his free hand balling into a fist as if to swat Tony away, but he stopped himself and stared at his injury instead. “That’s a pretty nasty one….accidentally crush a test tube or something?” he asked, examining it closely. “That’s why chemistry is bad for you.” He smiled. When Bruce seemed calmer, he motioned for Loki to come closer to heal the cut. Of course it would heal soon anyway with Bruce’s DNA, but he wouldn’t be able to calm down until them. When Loki had healed him, Tony looked up at Bruce again. “So, that’s gone, but that’s not all that’s upsetting you is it? Want to tell me about it. Loki and I will just sit here and listen.” He said with a warm smile.
