This is for Epic Elvin Warrior Princess - I know it wasn't for she requested, but I'd already written it by the time she got back to me x
...An Ipod
Bruce had thankfully managed to escape Tony Stark shortly after the Battle of New York, to get onto the helicarrier and find his own clothes (of which he'd carried many spare sets) and generally take a break. Being the Other Guy always wore him out, and right now he wasn't up to Tony's manic energy.
He didn't step foot in Stark Tower until after Loki and Thor had gone back to Asgard, finally giving in to Tony's almost constant demands to join him in candyland.
The Tower was better on the inside than it was in the outside, even with the rubble still lying around and the Loki shaped dents in the floor. He quite enjoyed the tour of candyland and soon after Tony left him in the lab - something about his girlfriend and a board meeting.
Bruce poked around for a bit before retreating to his room - his own room - for some relaxing time. Perhaps a shower would be a good idea? Or maybe later. It looked too expensive for his mind to handle right now. He lay back on the bed, leaving his meagre bags by the floor. His mind started going over the last few days and unconsciously his hands balled into fists and a tinge of green appeared in his eyes.
Mozart started playing.
Bruce tensed at first, at the sudden noise, before sinking back onto the bed and listening to the music, feeling it wash over him. There was a lengthy tracklist of songs, all of them peaceful and relaxing, from all over the world. He recognised a few from his time in India and Brazil and Indonesia.
Three hours later he walked out to the living room on the ninety seventh floor to find that Tony was on the sofa, his feet up, the television on.
"Thanks for that playlist in my room by the way," he said, before he forgot, going to pat the inventor on the arm. "It was very considerate of you." He walked back out again.
"What?"
