"Capsicle sleepwalking was funny but it wasn't as funny as when Bruce was sleep talking." Tony pointed out.

"Brucie. It's science time." Tony declared happily as he walked into the lab only to stop short when he spotted his 'science brother' fast asleep on the couch.

"Awww." Tony lightly whined. "We were going to mess with Cap's shield today."

" 'ater." Bruce muttered in his sleep.

Tony right away smirked and got his video camera ready. Talking while sleeping had always been something hilarious he had wanted to see and study.

He was always curious to see if someone who talked in their sleep would answer a question they were asked.

Quietly pulling up a chair and making sure both he and Bruce were in the camera's frame, Tony began to get to work.

"Bruce, did you finish the plans for Clint's arrow's?" he asked softly.

"Yes'day." Bruce sighed.

"Good. How about Natasha's Widow's Bite bracelets?"

" 'ay 'fore."

"Wow. You're good."

" 'hanks."

Tony covered his mouth with a hand in order to try to keep quiet. He didn't want this laughter to wake his friend up and spoil this chance.

The inventor knew that he couldn't get this kind of chance from Thor because he slept too deeply and his snoring would cover any questions that Tony had.

Steve was out because his enhanced hearing and military training allowed him to know when someone was nearby.

Both Clint and Natasha could easily pretend to be asleep and really be awake. They could snap awake in an instant if they needed to.

So Bruce was the only person he could do this to.

He certainly wasn't about to try it to Pepper. If he tried and she found out, he would surely be sleeping on the couch for the next year.

"Ok buddy. What should our next project be on?" Tony asked.

"Dun' know."

"Ok. Any tips on how we can really prank Thor and Steve?"

"Tha' mean."

"Point. Not to mention they could beat us to a pulp if they wanted. Ok then. Uh, has Steve told you any stories about his younger days?"

"Army."

"You need to tell me about it later when you wake up. How about circus boy?"

"No."

"Figures. No point in asking about Natasha. How about Thor? He tell you about his diaper days?"

"A'ways."

"Boy, Thor is a Chatty Kathy." Tony mused then smirked. "How about you Bruce? Got any good stories?"

"Dye Ross hair." Bruce muttered.

Tony once again tried to hide laughter. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

Bruce had actually pulled a prank on the man who'd been hunting him down ever since the Other Guy made his first appearance.

"What color?" Tony dared to ask.

"Green."

Tony started laughing as he tried to picture tough General Ross walking around with green hair as he continued giving orders to try to capture the doctor.

Unfortunately, this ended in his laughter waking his friend who right away noticed the camera staring at him.

"Tony, what are you doing?!" he demanded.

"Do you really want to know?" Tony replied.

"We're going to have to record what you do when you're asleep." Clint said.

"Good luck." Bruce said. "He barely sleeps as it is."

"Yep. Good luck trying to get anything on me while I'm sleeping." Tony mused.

"How do you know we don't already have something?" Natasha challenged with an evil smirk.
