Hey guys! So this time, I'm not gonna lie or make excuses. I haven't been active and writing for three reasons. Reason #1- My computer's broken. I'm only writing now because I'm using my grandmother's computer. Reason #2- I've had writer's block for a while now. My next reason is part of why. Reason #3- My grandfather passed away four months ago from stage four kidney cancer. I understand that it's been four months, but it still hurts to think about. He was my best friend, and I miss him. It's kind of screwed up my inspiration.

But I'm back now! This story is my headcanon, but I still don't own the Avengers. (If I did, I'd probably pass out.)

Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony's sad expression.

"No, Tony we are not inviting the rest of the Avengers to come live at Stark Tower. I do not need five more over-grown children to take care of," she said.

Tony's puppy dog face turned into exaggerated shock. "I am not an over-grown child! And neither are they! Although I don't know about the Hawk. Spidey personally scares me with her literal killer thighs, and Capsicle is too confused and uptight to cause any real damage. As long as no one agitates Bruce and the god we'll be fine. Of course we might not even interact..." Tony rambled on, as he pulled up a hologram of the Tower. After about a minute and a half of him rambling, Pepper finally snapped.

"Alright! ALRIGHT! You can invite them to live here. On two conditions. One, you give them each their own floors, and two, I can hold you responsible for any damage done to my tower," she conceded while walking to the elevator.

"YOUR tower?" Tony asked in astonishment as he followed her,"When did this tower become YOURS?"

She turned when they were infront of the elevator and replied,"When I got 12% of the credit."

She walked into the now open elevator and blew him a kiss.

"Now go! You've got homework! I want them all here by the end of the month," she said as the doors closed.

Tony groaned as turned back to his hologram.

Dr. Bruce Banner was off SHIELD's grid, for now. But that doesn't mean he was off Tony Stark's.

The self named genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist sat in his lab, appearing as though he was in deep thought.

"JARVIS," he said, still in deep thought,"pull up any recent information on Doctor Bruce Banner."

"On it, sir," the AI replied. Sometimes, he was really glad to have JARVIS.

Several newspaper articles popped up. "Sir," JARVIS started, "Dr. Banner was most recently seen in Mumbai, India."

Tony pondered the information for a few seconds. "JARVIS? Please get Miss Potts and tell her to pack warm. We're heading to India.

Tony and Pepper arrived in Mumbai the next morning. Tony had a picture of Bruce, and the two of them wandered around all morning, asking anyone who would listen if they had seen this man. A majority of the people they asked had never seen him before, but a few people knew who and where he was. A little girl led them to his temporary home, babbling in a foreign language the whole way. She soon stopped in front of a small hut. Pepper handed the girl a rupee as Tony walked into the hut. The doctor had his back turned.

"Maiṁ ēka pala mēṁ āpa kē sātha hō jā'ēgā," he said as he wrote something. (I'll be with you in a moment.)

"Bruce, I have no clue what you said, so I'm gonna imagine it was something to do with doctoring."

Bruce spun around. "Tony Stark? What are you doing here?" he said as he wiped his hands on his pants.

"I could ask the same to you, Doc," he said as he shook Bruce's hand.

"Mumbai got a bad case of smallpox. They needed my help, so I came," he said while turning back to his paper.

"How long have you been here?" Tony asks as he walks around the hut.

"Since New York, so about...five months," he said, not looking up.

Before Tony could reply, Pepper stepped in.

"Tony I just got a- am I interrupting something?" she asked walking over towards the billionaire. Bruce turned and raised an eyebrow.

"Bruce, this is my assistant/girlfriend/babysitter Pepper Potts," Tony introduced. She stepped forward to shake his hand.

"Bruce Banner. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Potts," he said.

"The pleasure's all mine," she smiled. She then spun towards the billionaire.

"Did you ask him yet?" she eagerly asked.

Tony rolled his eyes. "I was just about to ask before you came in." he responded.

"Uh, ask me what?" the doctor dared to ask.

Pepper beat Tony to the punch. " We wanted to know if you would like to come live with us at Stark Tower, " she said, a warm smile on her face.

"We? As in..." Bruce asked.

"Pepper, myself, and the rest of the Avengers," Tony said, casually draping his arm over Pepper's shoulder.

"So, it'd be all of us living in an apartment? Like in Friends?" Bruce asked, not liking the idea of being in a small room with six other people.

Tony laughed," Of course not. Everyone gets their own floor. You, my friend, get two."

Bruce thought it over for a second. "What about my work here?" he questioned.

Tony waved his hand. "I've already got that covered. I have two of the world's best and most generous doctors ready to continue your work. Plus, it'd be pretty awkward if you didn't come, because I've-"A quick jab from Pepper made him change pronouns."-we've already prepared your floor."

Bruce thought it over. Stay here on the run or head back to America?

"How can I be so sure that this isn't a trap set by Fury to get me back so they can run more tests on 'the other guy'?" he asked, suddenly very suspicious.

Tony groaned," Because 1, I trust you. And 2, Do I look like I work for SHIELD?"

"No, I guess not. But how would I know that SHIELD won't try and come get me once I'm at the Tower?," Bruce smirked.

Tony groaned again, "I have the smartest AI/home security system known to man. No one can hack it. You'll be perfectly safe in Stark Tower."

Bruce smiled. "Let me pack my things."

Tony punched the air while Pepper giggled and rolled her eyes. The Science Bros were officially in business.

Back at the Tower, Tony almost skipped to the elevator. Pepper and Bruce trailed behind him.

"I take it he doesn't get many visitors?" he assessed as they walked toward the elevator Tony was holding.

Pepper rolled her eyes," You have no idea."

The two stepped into the elevator. As soon as the doors shut, Tony started to talk.

"Now, like I said before, you get two floors. Your first floor contains your kitchen and your bedroom, while your second floor contains a special cool down room for the other guy as well as your lab." he said, grinning like a little kid on Christmas.

The doors to the elevator opened and Bruce's eyes widened. The kitchen was small with a refrigerator and a stove. He walked further down the hall to the first doorway to his right. He opened it and saw a bed and a moderately sized closet. To his left there was a room which he figured was the bathroom. He stepped out of his bedroom and looked around in awe.

Tony came up beside him. "Pretty cool, huh?"

"Tony, I can't accept living here. This is too nice," Bruce started to backtrack.

Tony shushed him." abababap. You now live here. No take backs, no returns. Now c'mon, let's go to the next floor."

Bruce followed the inventor through the small door to his left and down a flight of stairs. Tony opened the door at the bottom and he came to a very large door in a small hallway.

"This," Tony said, "is what I like to call the Hulk room. It's secure and has been tested with several wrecking balls. The room is made out iridinium*, the strongest material on Earth. It's impossible to break. You can come in here when you need to let off steam."

Bruce smiled, "Thanks, Tony."

Tony waved him off," This isn't even the best part. Wait 'til you see the lab. Are you ready?"

Bruce nodded and the two were headed down the hallway again. Tony suddenly stopped in front of the door and spoke.

"JARVIS, unlock Doctor Banner's lab, please?" Tony asked.

"Right away, sir," the electronic, slightly British voice replied.

The door unlocked, and the two men stepped inside.

When Bruce threw Tony a confused glance, the billionaire replied with," JARVIS. He's my AI."

Bruce took a good look around the lab. There were test tubes, microscopes, computers, cabinets that were most likely full of combustible items, and so much more.

"Now you're probably thinking, 'Tony, what will I do with all these things?' Well, you can use them here or in my lab, which you also have access to. No need to thank me. You just need to be able to speak science," Tony said, while walking out of the room.

Bruce moved toward the nearest stool and sat down.

Tony quickly shoved his head back in. "Oh, and if you need any information or questions, just ask Pepper or JARVIS."

Bruce just nodded as Tony left.

He breathed out a sigh. He could definitely get used to this.
