Theme/Prompt: 44. I am writing a book of love poetry for you. For example: "The only reason you could possibly need your music that loud is if you were planning to listen from my apartment. You downstairs motherfuckers." (Every day I hope to see a moving truck pull in. Or an ambulance.)

Bruce is in one of the labs, Dr Foster in the corner up to her elbows in one of her instruments and Ms Romanov lounging on the sofa doing something on a tablet that intermittently puts strain on the servers, when he figures out Tony's music currently playing on the floor above them is loud on purpose: an invitation, not a deterrent.
"I know Pepper's in Tokyo this week, but do you know where Rhodes is today?"
"He's in Abu Dhabi, playing nice with some officials, why–" there's a soft 'oh' from her as she comes to the same conclusion he has, her eyebrows rising in her realisation.
"Should we go take him out of his misery?" Bruce asks lightly, hoping his interpretation of the way she talks to Tony and the way she touches Steve and Barton isn't too far off.
There's a tilt to Natasha's head as she considers both him, the way he interacts with Tony and Pepper and Rhodes, and the question before shrugging, a smile spreading across her face before she turns to ask Jane if she's joining as well.
