DISCLAIMER I WON NOTHING

I ran. I ran as fast as I could into my bedroom where a sexy maniac was laughing his ass off on my bed. "Loki..." I trailed off, I needed to catch my breath. I turned and locked the door, as of that would help any against a super soldier, two master spies, and a huge green rage monster.

"Oh Anthony, I was only having a little fun." Loki smiled at me innocently.

"Why the hell couldn't you tell me about it first babe?" I was still breathing heavy and I held a hand to my arc reactor.

"Anthony, are you alright?" Loki asked concerned. I nodded and slowly made my way to my bed. I laid down on my bed of pillows and sighed contentedly.

"Tony! Loki! Come out and talk!" Steve Roger's voice cut through the walls and Loki had a frown.

"The soldier, very demanding, is he not?" I laughed at him and Loki looked at me confused. "Why do you laugh?"

"Has anyone ever told you how much you talk like Yoda?" I grinned at him and he shook his head full of beautiful black waves.

"Yoda?" Loki cocked his head to the side in question.

"Star Wars?" He shook his head and I brushed it off. "I'll show you it one day. Anyway, we should get out there. Can't keep our lovely company waiting." I smiled at his grimace and slowly sat up and got up from the bed. I grabbed his hand that looked as if it was crafted by an artist, with long pianist fingers, and as smooth as glass. I unlocked the door and walked through it with him right behind me every step of the way. Once we got to the main room, you could slice the tension with a feather. Steve was there, and so was Clint and Natasha, but Bruce was nowhere to be found.

"He looked himself in a cell." Steve explained. I nodded and sat opposite of part of my team with (my lover, boyfriend?) Loki next to me. It was silent for a moment and I could see the glint of an arrow Clint had behind his back.

"Hurt him, and I walk." I stared down Clint hard and switched to Natasha. She stared back at me and I snook a look at Cap and he made sure to avoid my eye.

"Ok, that's fine Tony. But what is going on?" Cap raised his voice slightly but kept his cool. Ha, Capsicle, cool. Loki was looking out the window but kept an open ear to our conversation, I could tell.

"Loki is here." I stated. My team grew looks of irritation on their faces and I quickly explained, "Thor brought him." They looked shocked.

"Why would he bring Loki to you? No offense, Tony." Clint asked.

"Because of this! You guys can't accept him as easily as I can. Clint, a week ago, you would've killed him without a second thought. Natasha, you would have him be your bullet target for practice. Steve," He looked up at his real name, which I so rarely call him by. "Loki would have been in Fury's hands by the end of the day." The truth settled over all of us like a suffocating blanket. We let it suffocate it for awhile until Loki could take no more.

"I understand that in some way or form, I have made you all resent me. I apologize. I was under the control of a powerful being named Thanos. It was proven that I was under his control, so therefore, set free. I am no criminal. Thor sent me here because I was supposed to make anew with you humans. One down," He looked at me. "Four to go."

"I have a question." Nat sat up and addressed Loki and I. "Are you two in a relationship?"

"How did you know?" I smiled my usual charming smile and swung an arm around Loki's shoulders. Loki smiled back and leaned into me.

"Go talk to Banner. Now Tony." Nat demanded.

"But why? Isn't he still in green rage monster mode?" I asked confused.

"Go." Just to get away from the evil eye Nat was giving me, I did go. There was only one cell in the tower that could encase the Hulk. I traveled there, via elevator, and stood in front of the lone cell. Bruce was laying on the bed, face down, without a shirt. I knocked on the wall and he didn't turn to face me, but mumbled come in. I walked through the code locked door and stood on the opposite wall of him.

"Nat told me to come down. I don't know why but-" I was cut off.

"Olive Juice."

"What the hell? What does olive-"

"I love you!" Bruce yelled, still slightly muffled. I froze, and couldn't even think to made no move to look at me, or say anything more.

I could only get a few words out of me, and they weren't the best I could've come up with. "What...why?" He still didn't move.

"You're Tony, mechanics and oil and grease Tony. Happens to be a billionaire something something playboy but I don't care. I never cared." I felt bad, horrible even. Because I knew in a split second I probably would've returned Banners feeling. Fuck Maria, Pepper, and Happy. I know that at one time I loved Bruce, I covered it up with Maria. I wish I could have another coverup, but now it's just a green eyed devil that I'm truly, and fully in love with.

"Bruce..." I trailed off, because he had turned to look at me. New and old tears ran down his face, and I felt almost like running away. I never wanted to see this for my best friends face, science buddies.

"You don't have to Tony. I know that its too late for us." He laughed sadly, "There was never going to be an us, was there?"

"Yes Bruce, there could've been an us. But only if none of this ever happened. No Norse gods or Chitauri army. Just us being regular people, no Avengers. But then we probably would've never met." I held back the tears for my friend. Cause I can picture it. I really can, him getting me from the lab, working with me in the lab, loving me. I can picture it.

"Tony, I can picture it."

"I can picture it too Bruce. I promise you, I can."
