"Uh Bruce... whatchya got there buddy?"
"Tony, I uh, I found a child. Can we keep it?"
Tony face-palmed. "Bruce. The child belongs to somebody so no, we can't keep it."
At this the child shook her head.
"Tony I swear this time it doesn't belong to anyone." The kid didn't even look bothered at being called an 'it'.
"Bruce I swear to god if you already named it-"
"I'm sorry! It just looked so lonely and sad and adorable! I named her Jade and I want to keep her! I swear I can look after her and I'll take full responsibility!"
"Bruce! She's not a dog! You can't keep every stray you come across okay?!"
"Tony." Natasha piped in, thoroughly amused, "Just let him keep the damn thing."
"Thanks Nat!"
"Don't call me that."
And that's the story of how Bruce adopted a child...
I've had this in my head for a long time XD
