Tony Stark is Iron Man. And without his suit, he is a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. So it was that he was actually concerned when he learned that one of his colleagues and friends didn't have an actual home.

"You aren't living anywhere?" he asked Bruce. He'd read the file on Dr. Banner, of course, but somehow Tony hadn't quite realized exactly what it had meant.

Bruce shook his head. "I've been on the run for the last several years…Technically I'm a fugitive. So, no, no permanent homes. I was living in Calcutta before S.H.I.E.L.D. came about Loki. Now…I'm sort of just living in New York."

"Well, where've you been going every night, then?" Tony asked.

"I found a fairly cheap hotel. I've been staying there, at least until I run out of money for it."

"And then what?" Tony asked. He didn't like the idea of Bruce ending up broke and on the streets- or leaving the country. "You know what? Don't answer that. I've got an answer for you." Tony was somewhat surprised by his own thoughts, except- he wasn't. He'd actually thought about it a couple times.

Bruce raised his eyebrows. "Do I want to know?"

Tony nodded, a smile slowly appearing. "Move in. Move in to Stark Tower."

Bruce looked down. "I don't know Tony…"

"Come on, what's the down side? Free living space, a top grade lab, a friend…anything else you want, you name it, you've got it."

"What about the Other Guy? You're still repairing the Tower from the Chitauri invasion…"

"I trust you," Tony told him. "I shocked you and you were fine, remember? You won't just lose control."

Bruce was blushing. "Ah, well what about Pepper? I mean, you…and her. You live here, you're a couple…Do you really want some other person you barely know living with you?"

"Hm." Tony walked near the balcony, where Pepper was. "Hey Pepper, could you come over here for a moment?" Pepper came over. "Bruce doesn't have any place to live, and I was thinking he could come live with us. Would that be a problem?"

Pepper shook her head. "Of course not. Bruce, you're more than welcome to stay here. Besides, I could use a little help keeping Tony under control." She smiled at him.

Bruce made one last ditch effort to dissuade Tony. "I'll take up space in your tower."

Tony laughed, grinning. "Our Tower is a tower. I can give you five floors and still have too much room for myself. So what do you say you stop it with the homeless thing and move in?"

Bruce sighed, and shook his head. Then he smiled and nodded. "Okay. Okay, you've got me. I'll move in."

Tony was grinning, and began talking about how much space Bruce wanted, and what he'd want in his rooms. As it turned out, this would only be the first, and not last, time that Tony invited one of the Avengers to live in his Tower.

Yes, I know it's dreadfully short. I just hope everyone likes it. Please, let me know if you actually like this, so I know to continue, alright? Cause, if I don't get the impression that anyone wants it continued, I admit I'll drop this in favor of other fics.
