Bruce Banner rubbed his eyes with his fore finger and thumb, the image of Loki's sadistic smile implanted in his mind. So, this was what it was like to be "Mind raped". Interesting. Bruce shivered, thinking, damn that guy is creepy as fuck.
Slipping his glasses back on, he turned around, looking out over the bridge of the aircraft. Look's from terrified crew members below met his up above. Sighing, the doctor looked away, hurt beyond anything they could imagine.
Spreading out his arms so he braced himself against the table, he let his head hang in shame, and in pure agony. For the first time in God knows how long he let a tear slip down his face. He felt words rising in his throat. Bruce Banner considered himself a good singer as anyone else, and he often did it to calm his patients or himself in times of need, which, since the accident, had been more and more often. He began singing quietly,
"I have often dreamed, of a far off place," He lifted his head, eyes closed imagining it,
"Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me." He turned to the large window eyes still closed, imagining crowds of people shouting his name,
"Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face. And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be." He opened his eyes, sadly, his shoulders dropping. Never noticing him, Tony Stark sat in the corner of the lab, watching the sad doctor with the memorizing voice. Said doctor continued singing,
"I will find my way, I can go the distance. I'll be there some day." He balled his hands up into fists, and with a determined face continued,
"If I can be strong." He folded his hands neatly together, singing,
"I know every mile, will be worth my while." Bruce closed his eyes again, singing out his heart,
"I would go most anywhere to find where I..." He sadly, drooped his shoulders,
"Belong..." Shaking his head, Banner went back to his work, then presently left. Stark smiled in the corner, knowing exactly what kind of place Banner meant.
"Tony, are you sure you don't mind?" Tony laughed, slinging his arm over his friends shoulder,
"Dude. You need to chill, I love that you're coming to stay with me. And anyway this is me paying you, and the big guy, back for saving my hide." Dr. Banner blushed, stuttering out a thank you. Stark showed him around, letting Bruce in on all the little gadgets that was available to him.
"And that's it." Bruce and Tony stood in the kitchen; The doctor stunned at all that was there.
"I love you, Tony. Thank you." To the surprise of both of them, the doctor launched himself into Tony's arms. Slowly folding his arms around him, Tony smiled,
"Well, I love you too, I guess." Pulling away, Tony realized Bruce had tears coming from his eyes,
"Uh, Banner, you alright?" Bruce sucked in a breath,
"Yeah, Yeah. Just, allergies, do you have any Zertec or something?" Tony nodded and dashed off. Bruce walked over to the large window that face the city of New York, tears now freely flowing from his eyes, singing wholeheartedly,
"I am on my way. I can go the distance!" He shook his head,
"I don't care how far! Somehow I'll be strong." He sighed happily,
"I know every mile, will be worth my while." He pumped his fist up and down with each syllable,
"I would go most anywhere, To find where I belong!" Tony approached the crying doctor, and wrapped his arms around him. Bruce jerked in surprise, but soon spun and folded into the strong man's arm, happily. The millionaire whispered,
"You found it Bruce. This is where you belong."
